A DISCUSSION ABOUT MYCELIUM & BITCOIN WITH DMITRY MURASHCHIK – TDV WEEK IN REVIEW: SUNDAY, DEC 28 2014

Originally appeared on Bitcoinomics. Net
TDV Contributor Justin O’Connell (GoldSilverBitcoin, Bitcoinomics, Our Very Own Special Show) had the opportunity to sit down with the Mycelium project, which was started with the goal of creating an independent, self-powered, ad-hoc network and infrastructure which could form wherever enough nodes came together. Having been before the days of bitcoin, the main purpose of this network was text messaging between active and present nodes within a radius of 300 meters.
Bitcoin changed this, as the development team realized bitcoin fit perfect into the project’s goals. They re-focused their efforts. Today Mycelium consists of 35 people in Europe, America and Asia. A team of world-class specialists works tirelessly today to ensure bitcoin can be used in all areas of economic activity and everyday life. Bitcoinomics. Net interviews Dmitry Murashchik, Mycelium’s community manager. Dmitry has been involved in digital currencies since 2003, a background in IT and software development, and has a Master’s in Global Finance and Economics from UMD Smith School of Business. He joined the Mycelium team in early 2014. First of all, thank you for taking your time to talk!
Dmitry (DM): Thank you for having me.
What is your role at Mycelium?
DM: I am their Community Manager. My job is to keep in touch with the community through social media, announce our product developments, answer questions, collect feature requests, and advise the developers on what features are the most requested. I also spend my free time helping out with whatever other non software development tasks they need, such as research of potential technology to implement, ideas for designs, marketing and representing at conferences, and tech support.
