How was the testnet doing? If I'm not mistaken, the development update did not mention anything about it and I'm sure the

community are very excited to know on its progress! I hope the team would enlist the help of the community to do further

testing and I'm sure there are many from the community who would gladly participate in it to hasten the platform's development.

As many of our readers might be aware, the success of a digital currency protocol does not only depend on the technical prowess or the adoption of the technology, but also the economic model and the game-theoretically sound principles deployed with a common goal of sustaining a healthy network.

Dusk Network Development Update — September
Click the title to read the full announcement!


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

The team has refactored the consensus protocol, after discovering a few inefficiencies in the previous implementation hindering the theoretical throughput of the protocol. The refactor simplifies the bootstap procedure after a fallback, as well as increasing the stability of the block times.

Since those big partnership revelations are postponed, can you set any deadlines for revealing them? Are the reasons mainly legal issues or can you promise for example that partners are revealed before or near the mainnet?

What is the status of the Dusk Browser Node Plugin?
Is it still necessary to run it?

What is the status of the Dusk Browser Node Plugin?
Is it still necessary to run it?

Necessary for what end? You can run it bit this is still on the testnet and it has been removed from the store for the time being. So, not necessary.

Ok, I thought it might still have any value for testing purposes.

Yes, before mainnet.

[o48o]

Ok, I thought it might still have any value for testing purposes.

I am not sure about that, but i don't think that they would have removed the install option for it if they needed people to use it anymore.

Yes, before mainnet.

Ok, i'll take your word for it. Didn't except a promise for this actually. I am guessing that you wouldn't move the deadline for mainnet just to keep this promise if this gets delayed. I hope not.

It is necessary since most of the people think they are earning real dusk from it. Hehe

the volume went high again, is there something going on? 

[miningguru]

the volume went high again, is there something going on? 

Yesterday volumes increased from every coin, but suddenly again the volumes dropped due to an increase in the price of Bitcoin. We are experiencing this type of activity from the past 6 months. Once the price of Bitcoin stable, we might see altcoin prices will start recovering.

When will release own blockchain?

[o48o]

When will release own blockchain?

It's scheduled to be released within this year according to their roadmap, and so far they have delivered everything on time. So basically it can be anything from now to December. My bet would be that they want to double check everything that there will be no surprises and i wouldn't mind for them to deliver it in a last minute.
