Some big things on the horizon for Loki, and a new dev update so we keep the community in the loop!

Loki Locker

Loki Locker will be Loki’s version of MyMonero. A web based wallet you can use to store your Loki. Work has kicked off as a fork of OpenMonero. This should be ready for release quite soon, giving the community another way to store their Loki.

• Work has continued on the visual redesign of Open Monero you can see a teaser of the visual design here.

• Worked on Integrated QR code scanning, and a new interface for transactions.

We also just got our third pull request merged back into Monero, and we’re aiming for our fourth to be IPV6 support to be PR’ed soon.

Thanks,  Kee
