Introducing FriendUP v1.1 Open Source

The Friend Project is really starting to reach high velocity. After having expanded our development team, we have been able to overcome a lot of challenges in record speed. This has culminated in the FriendUP v1.1 open source release last week — right on time.

2018 is going to be huge for Blockchain, decentralised technologies and the web as a whole. With a surge of new startups, ICOs and awareness spreading world wide about encryption and the Crypto Economy, more people are involved than ever before. And for good reason. With the recent Spectre and Meltdown bugs, increased surveillance, social change and technologically disrupted financial markets, the world arguably has more need for new and safe internet based tech solutions than ever before. We need the users themselves to own the solutions. This is why we chose to go open source.

Friend tries to realize the implicit potential in Blockchain technologies for building permanent digital infrastructures that can be trusted. And we are building it for the broadest spectrum of users possible. We aim to seriously lower the bar of participation for everyone, making Blockchain and encryption as easy as point, click or touch.

Our release strategy is as follows; even numbered versions are stable, odd numbers introduce new features. Which isn’t to say that this release is only for the adventurous. Far from it. It means that Friend is now put into a logical and predictable release cycle. It means that when we have gone through the next few months of patching based on user and developer feedback, we should have a truly safe solution for anyone to deploy and use.

Friend aims to transform how we use computing environments. We want to help diminish our dependence on hardware devices and move towards a non physical computing experience. With Friend version 1.1, we have taken a firm and fundamental step. Now let us take the next step together.
