 Issuing a digital security: The Recipe for SuccesIn the last 1.5 years, the team at Dusk has researched and built a blockchain network for the use case of issuing digital securities.
We've taken many different approaches, eventually discovering the best ingredients that go into a palatable digital security.
This article is a recap on the XSC-smart contract, and a pre-read for our deep-dive series about the primary and secondary market of digital securities.

Dusk Network Development Update — JulyClick the title to read the full announcement!
 A monthly development update series created to embrace the transparency and inclusivity that we strive for at Dusk Network.Time flies when having fun! It has been a busy month ticking off major milestones as we not only listed DUSK on Bitfinex, Ethfinex, Bittrex International and Binance, but also had our very first public Testnet v1 Shin (殉星) release.
With the Testnet v1 finally revealed to the gazes of the public, the team had continued working on the core protocol and all accompanying modules. The publication of ZeroCaf will speed up the work on the ZK-Virtual Machine and real life implementation of the XSC standard.
It was also a month in which community participation skyrocketed, as we saw in the community campaign and during all the different AMAs the team attended.

Definitely, 3x levels are great considering the market right now.
I formatted my laptop 2 days ago and now me too couldn't find the extension for chrome. I think devs should make it public so more and more people can try and give feedbacks about it.
The browsernodes are being worked on as described in the mini roadmap! |

The core methodology of our network is embedded into the consensus algorithm, SBA★. SBA★ splits the workload among two distinct node types - Block Generators and Provisioners. These nodes safeguard the network and are rewarded for processing truthful information to the network. To sustain their operations, nodes are compensated in DUSK. Their payment is a combination of the transaction fees that are levied and a block reward from the Dusk Network incentivization pool. I cant understand this algorithm. is the SBA algorithm is the same as DPoS algorithm, where Provisioners is the same as Delegators, and Block Generators is a Validators? Shall I stake my coins here for getting rewards as Delegators by voting for Node Validator (Block producer)? DPoS is just a variation of PoS nodes are even more centraliseds to a delegated few. Dusk's consensus mechanism has built in resistence (on the protocol level) against the attack vectors commonly talked about in literature on (d)PoS, namely: 1) nothing-at-stake attack - in summary it is the problem with (d)PoS systems where nodes don't lose anything from behaving badly, they lose nothing by forking the chain as they will receive both coins on both chains if a fork happens. Note: this problem does not exist with Proof-of-Work (PoW) as the miner gets the most reward from being on the correct chain as that is where their hashing power lies, and; 2) long-range-attacks - because of its voting system that is built into the Dusk blockchain and is being engineered to avoid chain divergence. As for the nodes: Network nodes - transactional network clients. They compete with each other by locking an arbitrary amount for the generating and proposing of new blocks. Block generation is a computationally light task and therefore running a node does not require neither specialised equipment nor storage. The intention is for normal mobile devices to be able to run as a node within the network. The non-deterministic nature of the bidding process makes it so that even nodes bidding the minimum amount of DUSK have a fair chance to win the block generation sortition lottery. Provisioners - These are nodes that have committed a certain minimum stake to the Dusk Network and take care of more network intensive tasks such as block verification, voting, and notarization (VVN operations). These types of nodes are non-transactional The intention is to create an economy where nodes compete for block rewards, while Provisioners earn a steady ROI. |

I was able to get more details about the unintentional stopping of the Dusk Browser Node.
Mostly it happens, when I start my computer the first time.
The symbol indicates that the extension is "on", but CPU-monitoring indicates, that no calculations were done.
After switching "off" and "on" the extension works again and counts up the token.
This behaviour is evident in the browsers Chrome, Brave and at different computers.
So it seems to be a starting problem after a boot or waking up from hibernation state.
The browser node is being worked on atm! |

Well I read all three last articles on medium and really everything is explained and without any technical details.
This new network is actually very well suited for securities, as privacy is implemented even at the token level.
Glad you liked the releases! An updated whitepaper will also be published very soon and will include a lot of technical details  |

 Part II of a 3-day series familiarizing the community with the upcoming release of the Testnet v1 (Shin 殉星)Segregated Byzantine Agreement
Shin 殉星 comes with the implementation of Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA) consensus protocol. SBA plays an integral role in making the Dusk Network protocol a reality. SBA is a permission-less Proof-of-Stake protocol with statistical finality..[..].
Blind Bid
"Block Generators utilize a novel implementation of Private Proof-of-Stake, called Proof-of-Blind Bid to compete for the round leadership and be able to produce a candidate block as a result"
Block Generation, Block Reduction and Block Agreement
"On the other hand, Provisioners are required to reveal their identity and the amount of DUSK being staked"

[VIDEO] DEMO Zerocaf published.Click the title to see the full video!
 (Dusk Network releases ZeroCaf)ZeroCaf is an open source library that allows the developer community to implement cryptographic protocols over the Doppio Elliptic Curve using a Ristretto mapping. The goal of ZeroCaf is to achieve zero-knowledge set inclusion proofs, which are the most secure proofs of knowledge.
After our release, we hosted a livestream on Twitch. ZeroCaf's developers Luke Pearson and Carlos Perez Baro decided to record a demo, to further the documentation.
👉Watch DEMO on Youtube
ZeroCaf's primary use case in the Dusk network resolves around the private key. For set inclusion proofs, a user can securely prove that their private key corresponds to a public key without disclosing the former.
Carlos and Luke, the prime contributors to this release, had earlier already created a very well documented article to accompany the release on Dusk's Public GitHub.
Furthermore, to benefit the entire developer community a User Interface / SDK has been created that is a major source of information for developers regarding its functionality, code and implementation [DEMO / User Interface HERE].
