There are many data project already. Do  you believe this will fare better ? if so why ?

I think so. Dusk is planning on concentrating on STOs which are going to be huge in the near future. The ICO market is dying and STOs are the future.

Imagine if Dusk becomes the Ethereum of STOs

I think this is a good article to read about STO's and everyone in crypto sphere needs to understand the concept of it.

Dusk will make a difference in this market for sure. It is comparatively unique and advantageous.

Ico market has some trouble these day it’s true, if dusk network can afford something new it could really become a huge project. At least of the market restart, the project will have some good arguments to offer I think.

this one will be big in the long run, but in the short run it will suffer along side the market, unfortunately.

If a transition from the classic model of fundraising for blockchain projects, namely initial coin offerings or ICOs, to STOs, actually happens, the Dusk Network would be one of the first platforms for such a use case. The team is highly experienced in blockchain development as they have served Fortune 500 companies in their own blockchain development projects. However, as their GitHub is not public, it is hard to validate the actual progress of the project for now

Well written article not like junks like icobench etc....where there are bots voting and basically no in depth description for any projects. It got a solid valuation of seven out of ten

it seems that this new form of fundraising(sto) is taking hold we'll see if it will replace the icos, i had not heard before this site(hacked), i see that it is very accurate and has a positive impression of dusk...

[Rigorous]

ICOs have long tried to escape regulations. Now that there is no escaping them we get STOs. My question is, what kind regulations are we talking about? All the information I get is quite vague and abstract, besides KYC. I want to know what we have been so afraid of all this time.

[levyashin]

I think sto's are necessary. Think about it, the company getting millions but you have utility token and it is not very necessary. That token can drop to even zero but the company can be rich. But if they are security, you are taking the share no matter what.

Buy every participiants will have same lock-up period for tokens or differents?  Do you have some bonuses for long term investors (like in Pundi for example) ?

There are no bonusses at all and EVERYONE is subject to the Second-by-Second vesting mechanism. The team also has their tokens locked for 12 months before the vesting starts.

[DuskNetwork]

Is it just transmission of data or will it be used as a currency ( cryptocurrency) ?

Dusk Network basically focuses on providing the right confidentiality in the 3 different scenario that render the platform a true network:
1 - Unidirectional atomic transfer of value (basically, payments)
2 - Bidirectional atomic exchange of value (transfer of asset ownership - securities (STO's) fall in this category)
3 - Time unbound exchange of value (transmission of data stream - such as audiovisual conferencing, content streaming, etc)

In many aspects the Netherlands is playing an important role in the blockchain ecosystem.

Forbes interviewed our Tech Lead Emanuele Francioni and quoted him in this article:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/yoavvilner/2018/10/13/how-the-netherlands-is-blazing-a-trail-through-the-blockchain-scene/

“The Netherlands hosts one of the most passionate blockchain scenes in the world,” said Emanuele Francioni, Tech Lead of Dusk Foundation, a Dutch non-profit creating a blockchain-based secure communication system, to protect the freedom of speech. “Events are organized in multiple cities in the country and the turnout is great. Amsterdam, Berlin, and London form a strong co-located blockchain scene. We are seeing more homegrown projects in the Dutch space, and events are becoming more and more professional.”

I rather see them developing their platform the right way and not rush things like most of the projects do and then end up abandoning it when they are crushed by deadlines. Most of us are here for the long run anyways.

When tokens sale starts? Or date still not announced yet? And where I can see token allocation and token distribution details?

Is there already some idea about which kind of company or entities this platform will be suitable for. Do you already have some real use cases to prove an existing process can be improved with your product?

For example banks, insurance or companies which are dealing with sensible information, would you see them as potential "customers"?

[DuskNetwork]

When tokens sale starts? Or date still not announced yet? And where I can see token allocation and token distribution details?

We are selling in private placement only, there will not be a crowdsale. If you're interested please email pledge@dusk.network. There will not be any bonuses and everyone will be subject to the Second-by-Second vesting mechanism.  😊

1 - Unidirectional atomic transfer of value (basically, payments)
-For example; you want to buy something or want to transfer value to an exchange.

2 - Bidirectional atomic exchange of value (transfer of asset ownership - securities fall in this category)
-For example; right now, we are helping out a real estate fund in Malta to tokenize their security and organize an STO

3 - Time unbound exchange of value (transmission of data stream - such as audiovisual conferencing, content streaming, etc)
-For example; you want to watch some content streams without being able to be tracker or have a call in a similar manner.

Yes, we definitely se those entities use the platform. Right now the demand for STO's is increasing very rapidly due to regulations closing in.

so, how market will be conducted if there are only few poeple buy your token?
token price will be highest than expected and price will be playable by investor

I don't familiar with private sale, so I will wait till the DUSK listed on exchanges to buy it.
Of course, I will only buy it if the project discloses something interesting days/ weeks after its start and traded on exchanges with high daily volume.

Not sure what you're talking about. Why do you think only a few people will buy our token? Everyone has the ability to call the contract and get their tokens, however the amount of tokens depend on the time.

[DuskNetwork]

I don't know how data can be marketed, I guess its like email bulk purchase ?  I understand for big companies personal data is important but , is there market for it ?

Data is going to be one of the biggest resources in the future. Right now data is the fastest growing one at least. The market for (big) data is huge.

[DuskNetwork]

The demand is truly high in the field right now with all the companies doing research and Dusk may prove to be a game changer with all the solutions at single place.

They may not be able to succeed as well as monero for what concerns anonymous payments, but the protocol which allow to tranfer data doesn't have much competition at the moment.

Is Dusk team going to attend any blockchain conference or event somewhere around the world? This would be quite significant to see the reaction from other people on this field since the whitepaper is quite detailed.

Dusk in the real world?

The past few weeks we have been all over Europe to meet partners and contributors to the Dusk Network. Whilst being abroad we took the opportunity to speak at a selection of very interesting events!

Leaving a trace
Amsterdam: We have presented at Bitcoin Wednesday in Amsterdam. The oldest Crypto meetup in the Netherlands. Jelle Pol our Head of Business Dev. did a 30 minute presentation on Dusk including Q&A. Full video from the event is available here!



London: We spoke at the Certified Financial Professionals (CEFPRO) event, an event centered around technological innovations in AI, ML and blockchain visited by leading banks. We spoke about the development of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and how Dusk is building towards a regulatory compliant blockchain at the protocol level.



Barcelona: The World Ethical Data Forum is the most anticipated event for security and privacy-oriented audiences. During this event our CTO Emanuele Francioni spoke about how our novel technology will solve the antithesis between privacy and transparency once and for all.



Kiev: We presented at the countries largest blockchain event: Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference Kyiv. We spoke about the advancements made in Blockchain technology and how compliance is vital for adoption in the real world.
