In one hour, we will make the announcement on the launch of the Blocknet's production blockchain, and the service that gives $BLOCK intrinsic value.

Any news team as it was announced 3/4 week of july would bring about some big changes? Thank you.
Your timing is excellent. 
We have a major announcement to make in the next few days. Here is a little primer:
The upcoming release will retire the interim wallet and launch the Blocknet production chain!
In addition to bringing OP_CHECLOCKTIMEVERIFY to the mainnet, the release will bring us fully up to date with all the enhancements made to Bitcoin Core over the past several years.
Finally, the release is a migration to a new chain, which will enable us to remove the often-misinterpreted burn address, among several other exciting possibilities
Stay tuned. |

How about a youtube video guys of coins actually trading?
You can give people something more than hooray it is working and some stills of claimed trades.
It would go viral and take nothing of an effort as everyone has a phone and BLOCK has the media channels to circulate it.
Hope you guys consider it. Thanks..
Check out the post just below the OP :-) |

Which coins will be on the first launch? And is XC still being developed or is it history?
Lol Sorry, not everyone is a genius like you. I don't understand anything technical about blockchain or any of these shitcoins. Im in this to make a quick buck and gtfo, like most. At present, pretty much every Bitcoin clone is supported out of the box, since our integration requirements are (a) support for OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY and (b) a stock JSON RPC interface. However, being supported is not the same as being adopted; the latter is largely up to coins' communities. Currently we have successfully tested and either placed orders or fully traded the following coins: - BitBay - Bitcoin - BitSwift - Dash - Digibyte - Litecoin - Syscoin - Stealthcoin Finally, there are projects who we're in partnership or some form of collaboration with, or have otherwise committed to interoperate with, but haven't reached completed testing yet: - Duality Solutions - Ethereum - Bitnation - XCurrency - ZCash |

Hi folks
Just added this thread to the Blocknet's English OP. :-)
Great work, @Kaiserslautern, for setting this up!

The DX is already 100% working and you can trade BTC, LTC and SYS RIGHT NOW without a central exchange.
Stealth, Bay and hopefully Zcash following soon. Plus some others that that will be revealed in due course.
That statement is sort of true, but could be misleading because as far as I know you can only trade with other parties who are also running a wallet on the Blocknet test_net. Real open party trading will begin with the wallet code fork and activation of the DX on the Blocknet main_net. No, real, live trades are occurring already. The upcoming software release will bring OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY to the Blocknet's mainnet. This is in order for our service nodes to begin to function and receive real trade fees. (Currently they only receive testnet fees.) |

Hi folks We're pretty excited about Duality. Just reposting this here. |
|
|
|
Those are already in the OP. |
|
|
|
Great work!! I'll add this to the OP now. |

Take it easy @commenter. No need for "lawyer" talk, lest you unwittingly turn this thread negative again.

Thank you! :-) Onward and upward. |

Some musings on the emergence of "protocol services," and their architectural implications(for the comp sci / software architecture nerds out there...) 
|
|
|

And... here it is!

"once you achieve trustless exchange,
you create space for an entire
ecosystem of monetized services"
The Blocknet is infrastructure for the coming “inter-blockchain
era,” an emerging technology epoch characterised primarily by
the superseding of the current API ecosystem with an intrinsically
monetizable “token ecosystem.”
From the perspective of blockchain technology, if blockchains are
to achieve their true potential, then broad, generic
interoperability between blockchain services is required. Without
inter-chain interoperability, blockchain-based services will (a)
either deliver services only within the confines of the limited
customer base that runs its nodes, or sacrifice the unique security
properties of blockchains in delivering to centralized entities, and
(b) face enduring problems with chain bloat and, relatedly, the
market-related pressure to build further features onto a single chain.
From the perspective of software-as-a-service (SaaS), the token
ecosystem embodies two fundamental advancements: (a) the
comparatively frictionless monetisation of services, and (b) the
leveraging of the unique robustness, decentralization,
and security properties of blockchain technology.
By creating an “internet of blockchains,” the Blocknet is positioned
to enable the frictionless monetisation of APIs, and in doing so, to
empower blockchain technology by converting its thousands of
isolated chains into a token ecosystem.
what the Blocknet is designed to enable
• The delivery of potentially any kind of digital service from a node
on any blockchain to another.
• The ability for any given blockchain service to function not as an
“appcoin” but as a “protocol service,” that is, to be consumable by
any other dapp anywhere, instead of only by its community,
greatly enlarging the service’s market reach and revenue stream.
• The ability for smart contracts to function not as “dapps” but as
“protocol tokens,” where their code quality may benefit from a
broad contributor-base of developers from diverse communities,
exploit their combined learnings, prevent chain bloat and the
duplication of code and labour, and deliver services to the entire
blockchain-consuming market, instead of just the set of users of
its blockchain.
• The ability to create dapps with a multi-chain architecture,
leveraging relevant services no matter which chain they are
available on, rending nugatory the (currently-difficult) choice of
blockchain.
• The capacity for a microservices architecture, where each
blockchain delivers a single service, integrated with many others
in a modular fashion, providing simpler component design, easier
bugfixing, and easier upgrading.
• The monetisation of inter-chain and multi-chain services, using
their intrinsic tokens of value.
• The full exploitation of the new, cryptoeconomically-driven
business models ushered in by blockchain technology, in which a
business may extract value from a “better than free” model, from
monetary policy directly (ICOs, transaction fees, deflationary
economics, etc), and from a marketplace for its monetized APIs.
how does it work?
In brief, the Blocknet supplies three core services for inter-chain
interoperability: service lookup, inter-chain messaging, and
decentralized exchange. These are currently implemented in a
monolithic app, xbridgep2p.exe, and modularisation of
components, and abstraction of services into API façade(s) are
planned.
