0x00]: Introduction

   It is with great honor and privilege that The Bitcoin Foundation embraces
   this opportunity to address the public on the state of current progress,
   obstacles and continuing steps in our mission.

0x01]: Accomplishments

   mod6 completed and deployed a version of the `t' ticking system (released
   last month [R.03]) in the form of an IRC bot (`tb0t') to the chamber of The
   Most Serene Republic, #trilema.  There is a related Qntra article outlining
   the details [R.04].  Thus far, four projects [R.05] and corresponding tickets
   have been created.

0x02]: Complications and Obstacles

   mod6 created a genesis vpatch for `V', which generated much discussion
   in #trilema [R.06] [R.07].  This vpatch remains unreleased at this time until
   further investigation can be conducted.  More to come.

   A bug was found in the most recent Reference Implementation build script
   http://deedbot.org/build-bitcoind-V99995.sh [R.08].  The defect is attributed
   to the URL for OpenSSL on line 63 changing:
   from: `http://openssl.org/source/old/1.0.1/openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz'
   to:   `https://openssl.org/source/old/1.0.1/openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz'.

   The overall goal is to resolve this problem with the new makefiles for
   the Reference Implementation [R.09].  Regardless, if this is not made
   available in July, a new version of the build script will be published
   in the mean time.  Stay tuned.

0x03]: Continuing Steps

   Main development focus for the Reference Implementation in July will be in
   working towards getting the makefiles into place and into V.

0x04]: Conclusion

   The Bitcoin Foundation would like to bestow our sincerest thanks and
   gratitude to the contributors and community for its support and insight.
