It’s finally happening! – Grantcoin is being rebranded as Manna.
SouthXchange will change their GRT/BTC and GRT/USD markets to MANNA/BTC and MANNA/USD.
The blockchain should be viewable with new Manna-branded CryptoID block explorer.
Manna Wallets
In conjunction with the rebranding of the currency on these third-party services, Manna is releasing a beta version of new Manna wallets. Windows and Linux QT desktop wallets are now available to download for beta testing. The team is still debugging the Mac wallet but we expect to release it soon. Click here for wallet downloads and known issues.
If you would like to participate in testing and bug fixes, please contact Manna CTO, Doug Shubert: doug@mannabase.com. Manna are especially looking for volunteers with experience in compiling apps for the Mac, and working with Berkeley DB.
You can still use the existing Grantcoin version 0.7.0 wallets until block 1,100,000 of the blockchain (expected in May 2018), after which they will no longer be compatible with the Manna network. Until then, you can send coins back and forth between Grantcoin and Manna wallets. Private keys can also be imported from one to the other.

Mannabase Progress Report
Manna is currently in the testing and debugging phase, getting ready to roll out Phase 2 of the launch of the Mannabase platform. The development team has been hard at work, but they are running about 2 to 3 weeks behind schedule, compared to our previous estimates of when things would be ready for the public. Manna apologize for the delay, and promise us they are getting close to being able to release much more.
Stay tuned for announcements and rollout of two more phases of mannabase.com soon, including (1) user registration, basic income signup and verification, and (2) web-based wallets and automated basic income distribution.
Manna is moving forward and getting close to launch. They thank you for your patience and support!
