It looks good thanks! How could I invest? I have btc. What should I do?

The sale is done through private placement only. We are selling 250M Dusk for 7.8M USD. This is 50% of the supply. We will consider 100 ETH minimum investments. Please e-mail pledge@dusk.network with your sales proposal. Dusk will give preferential treatment to buyers who have a clear value add to the Dusk Network and its development.

Can we negotiate? To me 100eth is a big character

I must admit I admire crypto projects that have emphasis on privacy which is one of the original goal on why cryptocurrency was invented.

Some more explanatory videos would have been better to understand the platform correctly.

Yes, explanatory videos would be helpful for better understanding of the project, I tried to read the whitepaper but it's quite complicated for not so tech-savvy people.

We will are planning to release explanatory videos as well. Maybe even in ELI5 style

That'll be great! Video is the best type of file to understand the project in the better way. Especially if the narator is a person who speaks English natively. Looking forward for it!

[Makkara]

Would be interesting to see a mvp or be able to try some of these new functionalities, or at least see how the new consensus algorithm performs, is there any plan for this?

Thanks for the great video, it was very well done! The video helps tremendously to layout the important aspects of network and help potential investors grasp exactly what they will be investing in.

Nicely done team!

I've also looked at information like this one! A MVP would attract more investors; but I did not find anything about a MVP.

SO you will dont have public sale? 7,8 it was a hrdcap or you didnt sell all tokens? At which exchanges and when tokens will be trading?

[viljy]

Is there a variant of whitepaper that is easier to understand by a common person, not a mathematician?
Since from what is available, there was only a vague impression that we are talking about some kind of anonymous network.

[iad_xo]

DUSK idea is good. Waiting to see white paper with more in-depth technical explanation.  I have no doubt on team running this project. I am looking forward to join for long term. I understand any good good projects take at least few years.

Correct, we will not do a public/crowdsale. We are selling all of our tokens in private sale only. We can not conclude any information about potential exchange listings.

You should do more videos explaining this concept with layman terms if you want non-tech savvy people to join in. If your plan is not to attract technical people only . That whitepaper is insane.

Indeed, some explanatory videos would be great! One of the most important rules for every investor - DYOR - is on the basis of the WP actually impossible for the average investor.

[rjp55]

Seeing big banks on the blockchain and the crypto world makes me happy for crypto and for our future of course.
Btw. you can create a onepager or a shortened whitepaper for average investors.

Good idea, a simple video is perfect to understand what we're talking about here, not only for investors but for everyone!
So that bitcoin conference was hosted by ABN-AMRO, interesting the fact that they interested in crypto, didn't know that

Really a good idea, in addition to maintaining interaction and healing some outstanding doubts in many, bring new stakeholders and show commitment and work. 

[bitcoin-shark]

For the use of the email or transfer of files for business use, will be charged some fee for such purposes of use?

I highly doubt that they will be able to stand the competition if they would have any fee for such sh*t.

Everyone I know charge for this type of service but, the question is how much with respect to the competition.

We are now past the times when people want their information transferred for free, nowadays safety and anonymity is a huge priority, so people are willing to pay for it.

sure the security of the transactions and the anonymity are services that we pay a lot, it would be interesting to know if there will be fees and if yes how much more or less...

Oh, really? Could you provide some examples of these services, because all I know there are lots of 'em doing it for freeeeeeee.

[Rigorous]

I wonder if businesses who deal with such sensitive data that they need to have a high degree of anonymity and security are interested in buying technology or prefer to roll their own. Because if their standards are that high they need to audit the code, which might be just as much work as creating it.

Also, if they cannot audit the code they need to trust a black box, which is a security flaw. If they can audit the code, they can also copy the code, and if it is any good, sell it by themselves.

[beeelzebub]

I really loved the name of the project.

Dusk Network is really a great name.

These are all good objections, however even if the source is available is not going to be very easy or immediate to use it and make it your own. Most of the company want to have a ready solution rather then maintain their own, because it costs a lot of money without counting all the risks you take.

The code could get audited by a third party company.
