[ANN] | DUSK Network | Privacy-oriented blockchain for Digital Securities!

Why CEO of  Switcheo Network joined as advor to your project you will have ERC tokens at first? Or you will create NEP5 tokens?

Dusk Network is the only security token proposition in the market that takes care of everything on-chain, meaning it is the only proposition that is automated and scalable, thus allowing for a DEX. Ivan’s experience with the Switcheo NEP-5 DEX will be crucial in developing a great DEX for DUSK’s privacy driven security token standard XST. He knows firsthand what the limitations of the NEO VM were for Switcheo, and having Ivan on board early ensures the Dusk VM will be perfectly aligned with a DEX future. We will not only strategically work together to build Dusk’s Core in the best possible way, but also explore the possibilities of Switcheo to develop a DEX on top of Dusk.

That's a beatiful idea and a natural conseguence of the fact that Dusk has own blockchain, with a smart contracts enviroment and an ecosystem made of security tokens. Maybe in the future you can also think of a cross chain DEX is it will work well enough

if dusk developed cross chain DRX, they will defeat ethereum in short time

Nobody can defeat ethereum in a short time.
But maybe in some years ...

Can we do pool investment ? 100 is alot for some people

First you'll have to ask the team if they accept pool investments, because some projects don't.

[Makkara]

The token are just a momentarily situation as they will be swapping them with dusk coins, since they will have their own blockchain.

I am also interested to know more about this. If they accept pool payment then I would love to invest some.

Dusk Network is proud to announce that Dmitry Khovratovich, the inventor of Equihash joins Dusk Network as Lead Cryptographer.

Seriously people! You should be hyped now! If you are not, you are just not aware how big of a deal this guy is. AND he is not joining as an advisor, he is joining as Lead Cryptographer!

You can email pledge@dusk.network with your desired allocation and what strategic value you would add to the project. Not sure if we have accepted pools at this point, but if you're able to provide great value to the project you could always try and email your proposition. We do not accept pools who only want to invest, there must be a valuable propostition for us.

It is defeating itself. Ethereum has and will continue to implode as long as there is no reason for ICO project teams to build value for the investors, as tokens do not grant any ownership to the company and its assets, nor do they grant dividends, and even if there were, there is no ICO product out there making a profit.

how STO going to be different than ICO without regulation in place?

how STO going to be different than ICO without regulation in place? 

Securities must be regulated and once that, you can tokenize every real world asset you want, from equities to real estates, for example Swarm have an STO right now to tokenize Robinhood's shares

what does STO stand for? security token offering?

Being able to tokenize every real world asset or share sounds really promising to be honest.

Dusk Network Development Update - October

A monthly development update series created to embrace the transparency and inclusivity that we strive for at Dusk Network.



Development
An eventful month for the development team at Dusk! With the core cryptography module almost done and dusted, we are slowly starting to ramp up our work on the most unique module of Dusk Network - the consensus module. Our cryptography module consists of Ristretto curve, Bulletproof, MLSAG and Pedersen Commitment implementations alongside helper cryptographic functions. Parallelly, our developers have been working on a wiring module - the artery of the platform. The wiring module, otherwise known as a networking layer, includes Secure Tunnel Switching (STS) and Garlic Routing.

We are on track to launch the devnet in December 2018, which will enable the community to see the project’s core modules in action and allow the team to assess the performance metrics on a live network. More details about the launch will be revealed later.



Research
The addition of Dmitry Khovratovich, the co-creator of Equihash, Argon2 and Guru algorithms is crucial in our mission to innovate. With his help, the team is researching alternative mechanisms to non-interactive verifiable secret sharing, which can potentially increase the throughput of the consensus while continuing to conceal the blind bids. Apart from the aforementioned research, Dmitry is helping the team to improve our cryptography library.

Our team is in the process of reworking the Dusk Network technical documentation. Having improved on a few major technical aspects of the original whitepaper, we think that it is the right time to update the outdated documentation. We are scheduling the release of the updated whitepaper and a brand new SBA⋆ technical paper alongside the devnet launch in December 2018.



Community
With the announcement of our partnership with iFinex, Dusk Network has secured a dual free listing on both Bitfinex and Ethfinex, as well as becoming the first token to be offered through the Ethfinex Token Sale platform.

After a successful conclusion of the Telegram AMA with Richard Sanders, the co-founder of CipherBlade and Dusk Foundation Advisor, the team is working hard to plan similar events with other team members and advisors.

How to learn more about Dusk Network
The Dusk Network is a project coordinated by the Dusk Foundation. We are a decentralized ecosystem entirely focused on providing the perfect trade-off between privacy and transparency. Dusk protects privacy and fits regulations in payments, communications and asset transfers.

The formation of Ethereum prices depends on the activity of ICO, it seems to me that another wave will soon begin and the price will rise too.

These are remarkable developments for the project but is there anyway we can examine your code or have a third party audit done with it?

[Trrrt]

Nice to have update about development, investors and potential investors appreciate that kind of content, and it’s ipportant to communicate a lot during the fund raising phase. I think that dusk network have some good arguments to sucess.

[Rigorous]

Could you tell something more about the DUSK vouchers and tokens? Is there a document with the tokenomics, specifications and terms & conditions?

Sick, if you have your own wiki page your a big deal...lol

How do pool investments work? Would you trust others with your money?

[lobat999]

Having brought in this project a well known person in cryptography in the name of Dmitry Khovratovich is a big deal for the crypto-enthusiasts and you ought to capitalize on that. Imho.
