The delay is not Dan's fault.
Exactly. Bittrex needs to switch to the new wallet in sync with the swap over so people don't get screwed when they try to deposit/withdraw their coins. This is definitely on Bittrex.

We have been watching this project very closely over the last several years since the days of Horizon Platform. Very exciting developments we are definitely going to be picking up a lot of these in the near future!
The dev team have definitely been dedicated to this project. 3 years of development and most of it is funded by Dan himself.

When Blocknet will be more user friendly?
Doesn't seem like it atm. From what I gather, you must download the wallet of each trading pair in order to conduct a trade. It remains to be seen if people will actually go through the effort. Hi. While it is true that RIGHT NOW you must download whole blockchains, this will not remain true for very long. This is from the road map posted on the previous page (In Bold): Production blockchain launch - Service nodes launch on mainnet - Design specification document ("white paper") - Decentralized exchange app ("UI") - Decentralized exchange SPV multiwallet (no full blockchains) Once SPV in up and running, you will no longer have to download full Blockchains. :0 Oh no not again. Truxton....lijoe408 never mentioned anything about downloading ENTIRE BLOCKCHAINS. Yes we are all aware someday you'll tackle spv and you won't have to wait days while each blockchain is synced but that's beside the point. What he was bringing up, and which several others have brought up, is the fact that users will still have to download the wallets (NOT entire blockchains) of each coin they want to trade which will be a royal pain in the butt and a big turn off for any user looking to use blocknet. Crypto is complicated enough as it is, users want straight forward and easy to use tech. Ya we know blocknet is safer but if it isn't as user friendly as centralized exchanges it's got a tough road ahead of it. Think about it for one second. The only time you are in control of your coins is...? You have your own private key and when you have your private key, you will need...? That's right. The wallet of the coins that you control.... You can't ask for control of your coins and then NOT have the wallet of the coin you want to be in control of.....

When you start a fire..., you get fire. You know why I mentioned you? Because I mentioned everyone I could in my paper, around 20 projects. I've spent a lot of time researching decentralized exchanges, reading their white papers, talking to developers and so on. I didn't want to tell it here initially, but I went to your Slack as well and in the first minutes I've discovered a security problem which has sparked a conversation that spanned days, and your CTO (or the main programmer or whatever) invited me to be your security advisor due to it, admitting there are not enough people vetting your stuff. So that's what you call "working product"? No white paper, no code review, no UI, no roadmap with dates. I know exactly what stage you are in. Please don't take it personally. I publish research results on every product in this segment, and you were one of the best, until you started attacking us here. I think you will see from the timestamp, that in fact your youtube video calling out/attacking other projects is well before my first comment in your thread.... Unless facts doesn't really mean anything to you.

Bashing other projects...... How sad. Why don't you start showing your own strength..... This is so cheap. So pointing out outright lies of other projects like Waves DEX and InstantDEX is cheap? Regarding Blocknet (are you one of them too?) it was just a passing remark, and it was a positive one, comparing to others. They invaded this thread, not me - theirs. I don't like this atmosphere, I'll pass
Bye. When you start a fire..., you get fire. Calling other truly working projects lies when you don't really have a working product to back it up with. I don't know what else you were expecting....

Oh I had a hunch that you're from Blocknet side as well. Please read the reply to stormingj above. I said I don't have any problem with Blocknet (which in theory should be what it is when it's actually released), except timing. If you release "trustless, decentralized and atomic swap" before us and develop a UI and finally publish the white paper and get its security reviewed and widely used and stuff - good luck. But I suspect we might have to wait for 2050 with your speed. We have a lot of centralized exchange that requires trust and deposit of coins today... You have a whitepaper... great... and your wow feature is you can post on bitcointalk to "proof" that you have sent coins to your exchange...? We have that today too. .. It's called the blockchain.

is Tomorrow Exchange exchange centralized or decentralized project ? where it was registered ? need to go public for long time before earning traders trust .
It's centralized. He calls it "distributed" though.

Hm... then that's totally putting trust on you...
There is always some level of trust when it comes to crypto, even when someone tells you otherwise (do you trust him on that?) Our job is to minimize that trust to the minimum level possible. It's really not a good way to present yourself when you bash other projects when you yourself aren't truly trustless and decentralized.
We bash other projects because they're outright lying about being trustless and decentralized. We say up-front that's not the case with us. Can you find any statements that we're "trustless and decentralized"? But we also explain that the trust is minimized and it's much less than the one required on current centralized exchanges. If you're still not okay with that, well, do you know any real DEX I can use right now? That's the point. Then you haven't done your research before you started this project.... Here are videos to show you what truly TRUSTLESS, DECENTRALIZED and ATOMIC swap working is like... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCDBoR9fHb21bLH7FGvFrQg

The concept is nice. However, in the video you do not explain what happen to coins currently linked to pending orders. It is clear that coins not on orders are store in private wallets on user's pc... but pending orders? Are the coins tied to the pending orders sent somewhere? hence the "distributed" nature?
Exactly. The coins are sent to our nodes to perform the exchange. But even this situation is better than the order on the centralized exchange.For each order, you get a cryptographically signed guarantee before sending anything to the nodes. It ensures that your money will not just disappear, and that we cannot just change your order willy-nilly, for example, to get you the price worse than you asked for, stealing the difference. So, at each point in time, both passive and active funds are accounted for. Passive (not on the orders) is safe on your computer, and for active (on the orders) you get a crypto guarantee. So only money on the orders is at risk, but: 1) Users can hold us accountable, because they know and can prove exactly how much they've sent (if you have an insured centralized exchange, you can't provably claim your money, you have to trust their compromised database); 2) In the next versions we plan to only keep the top of the orders, not the whole order book; 3) We have more ideas on security that we are testing right now. But even the current setup is already much safer than centralized exchanges. Hm... then that's totally putting trust on you... that's exactly the problem.... It's really not a good way to present yourself when you bash other projects when you yourself aren't truly trustless and decentralized.

Hi all
Quick update from Dan: the new blocknet-qt wallet will be available for tomorrow evening (provided no last minute issues) for preview/testing
Updated specs - 1minute block time - 1 block reward per block (thus decreasing interest over time) - split 70%/30%/ +10% (service nodes get 70%, stakers get 30%; the 10% is not a stake reward, but is via the self-funding model) - 5k required to run a service node - for staking, the wallet will need to be open as often as possible, since it is not based on coin age. - migration/installation: it uses a new roaming folder, so simply install and copy your wallet.dat to the new folder.*
* tomorrow is the launch on testnet, so don't copy your wallet.dat over just yet. Wait for the mainnet launch mid-month.
Amazing update!!! Last chance to pick up blocknet nodes before the rocket leaves for the moon!

When staking blocknet, do i need to keep wallet on at all times? Thx.
No. Just unlock the wallet every few days to a week and it will stake still. The amount will be more per stake, but still works out the same. eg. chunky (higher coins per transaction) vs noisy (less coins, but more transactions) Thx cryptoxman:*is it worth staking 100 block? Do you want extra block for doing nothing but unlocking your wallet? Same answer to your question. For now it's around $12 per block... What if it jumps to 40-50 or even $200 each later on... Why not get the free coins?

Planning to buy $500 worth of BLOCKNET? should i wait for price to go down to buy or should I just buy at the current price??? any opinion??? Evaluate it based on the btc/block and not $ and you can analyze it better. The peak was in the 440k satoshi area. Now it's 380k... so...

How is this a roadmap with no dates? It's more of a "Things we would like to do in the future whether it's a month from now or 10 years from now." This lackluster roadmap just tanked the price. This is not true. The slow dump started about an hour before. Deadlines are not efficient because of the unnecessary pressure and this can sometimes compromise the work and the code and so on. With groundbreaking tech such as The Blocknet, the correct amount of time needs to be taken. The 10 year comment I feel is an unnecessary knee jerk. No one thinks its going to take 10 years! The devs have already delivered amazing tech. Have a little faith and patience. All the best. Exactly... if this was posted from a branch new coin with nothing to show for it, sure, but blocknet has proven that it can deliver working tech. People dumping now are really not smart lol.

What's the utility/purpose of the Blocknet coin within the Blocknet decentralized exchange?
Been looking for documentation on this and haven't found any.
Thanks
1. You can use it to stake for more coins. 2. You use block as fees to pay to the service node for making trades. 3. You can have 5000 block to run a service nodes and earn those fees. Service node is 5k block? Yes, for now they set it at 5K. Cheap still. I would hardly call 55k cheap. The amount of required coins is too much compared to total supply imo. This will greatly limit the amount of servicenodes. It should be 500-1000 imo The price of a single Block was 10 cents for 2 years. A node was cheap back then. Many many people who purchased during this period have enough block to run nodes. And the thing is... It's cheap still now because... once this is launched with the user friendly UI being developed by a world class company, $55k will be ultra cheap when you look back when it becomes possibly $550k... 55K is expensive as it is. Very few people entering from this point will commit 50k+ to owning a Node for a coin with a marketcap at this level. The result will be not that many nodes. The Node/Total supply ratio seems unbalanced. Consider Dash has 20M supply and requires 1K coins to run a masternode. Blocknet has 4M Supply and requires 5K coins to run a masternode. Dash currently has thousands of masternodes running. If you locked up half the supply of Blocknet, it's not enough for even 500 Nodes. The result of all this will be that the network does not have many nodes. I can't speak to whether this will have any effect on the network, so i'm interested to hear what a dev has to say about this. So... very few nodes = more profits per nodes.

The number of coins that can be traded on the Blocknet DX is now 21! with even more to come....
BAY BTC BLK BLOCK DASH DGB DOGE DYN PIVX LTC MUE NMC SYS VTC VIA BRK BRX ETH NLG QTUM DCR
The number of BLOCKNET DX participating coins is increasing day by day. I`m sure BLOCK`s price will easily reach 45-50 USD by the end of this year. I would say that's a conservative estimates.

Can anyone filled me in on whether there were periods where development stalled? Was project recently revived at some point or did the devs take a break at some point? I'm just asking b/c project has been around since 2014 and i'm curious as to why no whitepaper or roadmap was released? Not trying to fud, i'm just wondering if someone could filled me in as i'm very interested in the project.
The dev was funding it out of his own pocket for the last 2 years after the funding of the ITO ran out. That should tell you how legit it is because the dev could have easily dumped the coin and started another one from scratch, but he didn't let all the ITO people out to dry.
