It seems that this project is going strong in terms of the team's capability to deliver it. By the way when are you guys plan to activate the main net? and what is the status of its development?

[DuskNetwork]

How many people do you think are needed to get Dusk to mainnet? Because this seems quite a large undertaking, while the tech team is not that large. In comparison Cardano has 91 contributors on their Github and their are 26 people affiliated with Input Output.

The current team will be able to deliver the mainnet in time. Quality over Quantity Besides that, there will also be a public development group.

Dusk R&D
Dusk R&D is a research consortium where the primary goal is to iterate and improve on the Dusk Network white paper, and various research compendia. It will not only ensure a top notch technical system, but also the best talent in Europe working on improving Dusk Network. This research branch will feed directly into the two development teams and create a top-down adoption effect due to its academic and formalized validity.

There are three top notch research partner collaborations explored and/or confirmed and we will announce these as soon as we are able.

Dusk Core
Dusk Core is the development team directly led by Dusk’s own technical leads Emanuele Francioni, Fulvio Venturelli and others to be announced. They are responsible for the implementation of all the core aspects of the Dusk Network, such as our unique SBA* consensus mechanism, and our Secure Tunnel Switching methodology. They are complemented by our strategic partner, and award winning blockchain development team, Kryha.

Dawn Public Development
A community-driven development group. Dawn will concentrate on the user experience of Dusk Network, different language libraries, standardization, improvement proposals, Dusk wallet implementations, Dusk block explorer, and many more things. We look forward to announcing our Dawn community leads soon. They have extensive experience in blockchain and leading public development communities, and we are glad to have them onboard.

At least we can clearly say DuskNetwork knows what is talking about and it's actually interesting reading the answers and insights of how their product is going to work.

In the case somebody has the hash of a block in hand however i don't understand what advantage would give, since the information you need is actually in the block. 

If you can clarify that thank you

Hi Makkara

You can find some explanation about it in the whitepaper, chapter 3 paragraph 6 and 7.

You can find the Whitepaper here:
http://github.com/dusk-network/whitepaper/releases/download/v0.3/dusk-whitepaper.pdf

Hope this can clarify things for you.

They want to issue security tokens? But for security tokens you must have a lot of licenses, and I dont think that SEC or any other government structure allow issue tokens on anonymous platform ... 

From their FAQ section:

Is DUSK a security token?
No. DUSK is not a security because it presents a protocol-regulated inflationary mechanism and provides no profit or dividends whatsoever. It absolves the same role of Ether in the Ethereum ecosystem.

My question was in another. They will have smart contracts for creating tokens like Ethereum? But this is anonymous coin, so SEC will allow create security tokens on anonymous blockchain?

I suppose not. In general this is doubtful. On the other hand, the SEC does not have global power in the field of cryptocurrency.

They said before that they shouldn't have problems with the SEC. Don't know if the reality will be any different.

Considering how the development is going on and the fact that they are on the verge of crossing the laws, then problems can be very possible. It is enough to change a couple of paragraphs of financial regulators in the United States to close the project data and send the creators to court.
In such projects it is necessary to use legal assistance, otherwise the result will be very offensive for everyone.

So this is basically a utility token which will be used on the platform?
Or am i missing the point here?
IT's always a bit difficult to know what is being used where.

I don't have anything clear about the function of the token either. I hope someone can clarify it to us.

[iad_xo]

is STO on your platform going to be traded on other platform or DUSK is planning to add trading platform for STO some point?

[bitcoinbulk]

So many data project, I wonder what is special with this one

I don't think that there are other projects out there which aims to create an ecosystem for private security tokens like Dusk. Feel free to prove me wrong of course

Thats what I thought as well. For lack of a better analogy I was under the impression that DUSK wants to be the main STO blockchain similar to how ETH is for ICOs

I hope that not only our impression, but also the vision of the Team, conquer something like this depends on work tripled, and the Team can extend even more and have the potential for it, after all, the fruits would be wonderful, and no one should conform with places below their potential

Some projects are paying public devs via bounties, the more you contribute, the more chance you have to win the bounty. You will follow this model with Dawn public development?

It is an interesting idea to have the community participate in development but I assume the good coders want more than winning a bounty.

Yes, but this step is ok, maybe some developers are hard believers in this project and are ok with working for it at the devs' terms and conditions.

It's true. Good developers for their work want decent payment. For the project it's important that everything will be in highest quality, including the code - good developers makes optimal and understandable code.

the code is an important part of the project and must be of excellent quality, i hope the team will hire on well-prepared developers and also interested in the project that will create a perfect code...

Well some developers will always prefer fiat money, but i really think that team should hire devs that believe in the product so much that they are happy to get paid on bounties. Just like most of Binance staff is taking their salaries in bnb.

[Trrrt]

If the team deliver in time as they planned I think it will be a very good point for the project. Many crypto project have trouble to deliver in time and lost the confidence of investors because of that. If dusk network respect it I think the value could become really interesting.

Very competent and experienced people on board, DUSK is defintely on the top of my investing list.

This sounds like a great idea, there not many projects doing that anymore.

I looked into the whitepaper and appreciated the fact is exploring the technical side rather than giving out empty marketing promises.
Even if i couldn't get 100% of what is in there i see the "how to achieve it" is explained.

Yes, it is hard to understand compared to other ones. But it is because of their projects complexity and layers they have. Not very easy to tell this project with easy description. It is very advanced.
