Cloudcoin tokens now trading on BitShares
The first transactions of BitShares CloudCoin tokens (CLOUDCOIN) took place earlier this week. The price for each CLOUDCOIN has fluctuated from about $0.06 to over $0.70--both of which represent an increase from pre-BitShares trading. Both buyers and sellers are now posting offers using the BitShares Decentralized Exchange (DEX).

The conversion of CloudCoin (the currency) for CLOUDCOIN (the tokens) is still being conducted manually, but that will change in the next few days. Testing is ongoing of the automated version, which is expected to go online in the next few days.

"The final piece of the puzzle is protecting CloudCoin users with SSL. We expect everything to be ready to go by Monday or Tuesday," Sean Worthington , CloudCoin lead scientist, said.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a standard security protocol for establishing encrypted links between a web server and a browser in an online communication. SSL technology ensures that all data transmitted between the web server and browser remains encrypted.
CloudCoin owners wanting to exchange their CloudCoins for the CLOUDCOIN tokens will need to create BitShares accounts then upload the CloudCoins they wish to exchange to a depository. See the chart below for the process.

New client software launch update
Four new versions of CloudCoin client software--used to authenticate, password-own ('pown') and store CloudCoins-- are scheduled for launch soon.

Founders' Edition 2.0 is entering its final testing and should be ready for release shortly thereafter, according to QA/QC lead Ivan Olsak.

Consumer Edition 1.5 will follow soon after, as will a new CloudCoin application for Android, which will include multi-detect functionality (and significantly improve speed).

Development is also continuing on a new user-friendly client package that will work the same in both Windows and Mac OS X versions.

The Consortium's QA/QC team have also implemented JIRA for tracking progress and milestones.
