# What are we working on

### Product 

For the past couple of days now, we have been testing and fixing bugs in our code base before we open it up for private beta on **16th April, 2018**.

We have different services that takes care of different things in Yensesa so it will be easy to scale as the demand grows. Two of the most obvious ones are;

- Deposit service : It checks for exchange deposits sent in by users to @yensesa wallet on steem and then send the equivalent exchange via mobile money to the exchanger. 

- Refund service : Because of the volatility of the crypto market it is only smart that we do not send money for initiated transactions that are not completed within a certain time.  Example is, a user comes to yensesa.com to exchange 20 Steem for fiat. Once the transaction is completed, the user gets a unique memo and instructions to send the 20 Steem to @yensesa within 10 mins. If the user sends the 20 Steem after 10mins a refund will be issue back to the user. 

### Challenges

We started of with the [Steem.js official JavaScript library](https://github.com/steemit/steem-js) and it was not working as expected so we had to change to the [python lib](http://steem.readthedocs.io/en/latest/steem.html). From here we wrote custom scripts to get this working the way we wanted it. In no time our CTO @hemangmehta will write a detail post on this. 

One other area we will be happy to get help on is for someone to introduce us to @jerrybanfield who handles the Steem project budget. We have submitted a [proposal](https://steemit.com/budget/@yensesa/budget-proposal-opening-the-first-ghanaian-steem-sbd-exchange-utilizing-the-already-existing-digital-mobile-money-system) a couple of weeks back but have not had any positive feedback yet. Nothing is really too small, any amount the steem budget can support us with be it 100 , 200, 300 - 500+ steem/sbd is good to help us fund and running a successful beta promotion, to promote both Steem and Yensesa. If you know @jerrybanfield personally, kindly put in a word for us. 



### Promo

The marketing team have been hard at work, creating the awareness, pushing @yensesa and @steem to the masses in Ghana. Last week they were able run a successful promo and the team will be releasing a post about it shortly.
