the value of eth is slowly resuming, however, i would expect that its value reaches 200 $ and then maybe i would think to invest obviously the first choice will be dusk...

Wouldn't it make more sense to invest while the price is low? Well relatively low anyway, but the lowest for a long time now.

Well, if he already bought his Ether a few days ago with fiat and if he thinks now that ETH might go up to 200 USD it would make of course sense to wait. But this contains a lot of assumptions.

It depends on the circumstances, investing the ETH bought for twice what it is now would not be an advantage, but I acquired ETH at a low price, this makes the investment viable, or also for those who acquired ETH at a low price and had some gain

Not many projects look very promising to me these days. I'm focusing my interest on Privacy related projects and of course enterprise level blockchains.

Have you looked into Enigma yet?

It's shame that the community manager isn't really active here anymore, there are a lot of questions and doubt unanswered here, am I right?

Do they have a community manager? Really? I haven't seen him around here at all. It would be really good to get answers to the most important questions that are keep turning up here in the thread. Like more details about the token sale and private sale.

I am not sure if there is a community manager or not but someone from the team was actively answering the user queries but, now everyone seems to be quiet.

Last post from "DuskNetwork" is from 12.12.2018, so maybe he is busy.
I can only say it was one of the most active and experienced community manager I saw in my history of bitcointalk, so don't judge to fast.

Maybe they are more active on Telegram/Discord?

Good call. They are definitely more active on Telegram than on this forum. Highly recommended to go there if you want to get the latest news.

I don't use telegram, i wish someone from the team would pop up here answering questions as it was not so long ago

Yes, they are very active there.

Good to see business development around STOs going on behind the scenes. Here on BitcoinTalk we have been a bit devoid of information especially after the EthFinex event.

Looks like smart money is anticipating security tokens becoming a new asset class.

It is really weird but it seems like that the interest of small investors isn't really that big (yet) at the moment when it comes to security tokens. I guess a lot of people still have ICO projects in mind where the tokens lost 90% of its initial value.

But the fact that asset management firms like Olymp Capital are investing in Dusk shows that they are believing in the strong future of security tokens. I am really wondering if security tokens can cause a similar hype like ICOs did once small investors realize that there is money to be made.

So, they are getting good traction and investors are pretty good. It's good to see what they are achieving in early stages.

I think there are investors out there, even in this market that are hunting good projects , knowing their potentials.

[DuskNetwork]

what is the tentative date of closing the private sale, any info regarding this is available anywhere?

It's shame that the community manager isn't really active here anymore, there are a lot of questions and doubt unanswered here, am I right?

Really busy with everything, but back at it with full force!

Is the above video presentation related to any Public event in Tel Aviv? The appearances are from a private presentation behind closed doors. Anyway I am happy to see the continuity of the spread, and the commitment in the progress of the Project

is the team from Tel Aviv? I believe the israeli dev/blockchain  scene is top notch!

Thought Dusk was from the Netherlands though.

I also read it a few times that the team has a dutch origin.
Maybe it's a combined team, some in the Netherlands some in Isreal.

Team is from dutch afaik.
Why do you believe they are from Israel, just because they had a small meeting with potential investors in Tel Aviv?

The team is international! Most of the team are from The Netherlands and Italy though. We have headquarters in both Amsterdam (NL) and Rotterdam (NL)

Having a test net would be very critical to the development of this project and its a great tool to make the project more solid. I assume the community would have the chance to try it or is it for the devs only?

The more people involved in the test period will be good since people can give their feedback based on their experience and I think it can be more accurate.

I think you will have to be hand picked to join their test net in the beginning, which would be logical for them to get a quality feedback from different  experts.

So only people they know?

The Devnet will only be open for developers and our Testnet will most likely be open for anyone who wishes to test it out!

[DuskNetwork]

I see that team very active in adversiting. They had presenting in Tel Aviv few days ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIHX-3oaPHI

But what about partnerships? They have some solid agreement? What about projects which want to launch security tokens on their platform?

Not so sure what you mean by this, Dusk platform is for launching security tokens. And there are several other partnerships already.

I mean, is there some ICOs which want to create security tokens on DuSK platform already? What other partnerships they have?

They need to release their main net first I guess or you're assuming that someone is going to go for an STO blindly without knowing DUSK true potential?

We are already helping a few companies with setting up their STO, one of which is a real estate agent located in Malta.

The crypto market is imploding. With all due respect, how about continuing research and developing a product instead of doing talks for a handful of people? There might not be a market left in a few weeks.

I don't think the market is coming to an end, is just readjusting as it naturally happen. It will rise from the ashes as a Phoenix, don't be afraid. 

In this current market it seems like a waste of time and money to fly over the world and give presentations to a handful of people. The team already raised a few million dollar, how much more do they need? Will the milestones on the roadmap be met if the project & tech lead is on a roadshow?

These people we are presentating to are all interested in the platform. Next to development, adoption is a key part of the project. It's a common mistake to think that projects are only presentating to get investors onboard, what you really want are people being interested in launching their STO on our platform!

[DuskNetwork]

What kind of TPS will Dusk achieve?

More than TPS, which is a meaningless measure when in presence of an adaptive block size, it makes more sense to speak about throughput. Early experimentation shows that we can achieve extreme throughput by propagating block and block hashes separately (and worry about consistency later, as reconciliation would be indeed a separate matter). In this case it would not be excluded a throughput roughly 10^2 that of Bitcoin.

This expectation is dependent on a lot of configuration throttling, as it would be connected to a few implementation choices. The most important of which are probably the ring signature size and the flavour of proof range used (bulletproof being my first candidate)

[DuskNetwork]

There are many chains already what makes this one special ? don't point me to whitepaper 

The Dusk Network is a decentralized infrastructure focused on providing the right balance between privacy and transparency to payment, communication and asset ownership transfer.

Dusk is unique because our Dusk blockchain 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)

We have released a series called "Dusk in a Nutshell" which explains the Dusk Network in further detail.

I want to ask, the development process is still in accordance with the roadmap right? But your token will be listed on exchange only after you reach the hardcap?

Development has been an ongoing proces which started even before our privatesale started. As we already informed our investors and advisors earlier; our listing on EthFinex and BitFinex had to be delayed by a few weeks. A combination of technical delay and the poor holiday listing climate drove the decision to aim for the second week of January as the new target listing date, most probably between the 7th and the 9th.

This should give our partners at EthFinex and BitFinex enough time to clear the technical schedule, whilst it should be a much more favorable listing period for our investors and people looking to enter in the secondary market.

I was just reading about the random draw token partnership......

1.Has the quota for that been reached?
2. Are USA residents eligible?
3. No more questions.

My apologies for the late reply. The sale has ended and USA residents were restricted from the sale.
