Hi dear Steemit Community,
wanted to share with you my insights of this awesome Project. Im into Bitcoin since 2012/13. Im very glad about the fact that the Team build its decentralized P2P Market into the latest & solid .14 btc Codebase.
Confidental Transaction already running on the Mainnet. And RingCT active on Testnet (which gets audited asap - already funded)

The new and good looking Angular Wallet can already be compiled: https://github.com/particl/partgui
According to the Team it will be available on Testnet 5 next Week (to make sure it runs smoothly and bug free, you all are invited to join and search for Bugs). Here you can watch how it looks like

Besides that, the Head Developer told the Community in the ARK AMA Slack that the Market will most likely gets released in October which is not that far away anymore.
The Foundation is officially established, same Lawyers as Ethereum.
I wanted to share with you my knowledge about this Project, because in my Eyes it is very undervalued at the moment. Im sure this will change when the Particl Team rolls out major PR with released Angular Wallet and RingCT.
I love this Project a lot, cause it also gives other Currencies, for example XMR, Dash and ETH a broader use case, so people can spend their coins on the market while in the Backend the Coins get automatically converted into Part (currently via Shapeshift). Which can maybe change in the future due atomic swaps and Lightning Network.
Besides you definitely should read this Whitepaper about the Marketplace its privacy and the Data Storage Systems. I like the fact that the Team make sure not a single Meta Data gets dropped there.

I really would love to hear your opinion about this whole Project. The Proof of Stake v3 enables that everyone is able to stake and supports the Network, no Masternode setup here. Cant wait to see this in action. Strong privacy connected with Bitcoin and the p2p decentralized Market. Satoshi if you read this, your vision will come true :)
PS: With all the recent take downs of specific Markets this one will be a really good Investment for 2017
