RC5 - Spork Ahead!

Development has been moving along consistently and we’re almost ready to launch. We’re going to be launching RC5 on the 22nd (Next Monday).

Instant Transactions

We’re working on a paper describing the instant transaction system, expect that on Friday. We’ll also have more announcements and very detailed development update coming later this week.

What's included and what's the plan?

RC5 has a basic version of enforcement built into it that when activated will guarantee masternode payments are present in a block. So far, testing has proven the code is working and we're in the process of working out some of the final issues with it. The code is very simple and when activated the network will simply reject blocks from pools that have not updated.

Open Source

Darksend will be open sourced one week after RC5 has been released, September 29th. This will allow updates if needed before the code is released.

What's Next?

Darksend is working really nicely with no pressing issues presently. I would like to take some time and implement the Instant Transaction system immediately following release or RC5.

This will finalize Darksend and prepares the way to opensource Darksend which will be very soon after RC5.
After RC5 there will be a focus on implementing an unique system of Instant Transactions, more details about that
will follow soon... stay tuned.

Very exciting times right now for Darkcoin.

Thank for this thread qwizzie. There are so many great updates and indications of tremendous work being one. I think DRK has a very sound future and I'm looking forward to the exciting times ahead.

Isnt RC5 meant to be open sourced?

i know a lot of effort went into RC5 to make Darksend opensource ready (i think i read somewhere that Evan felt it could be done with RC5 already and so he and some of his collegue's were placing commenting in the code for opensource purposes). But i havent seen an official statement yet that RC5 will mean open-source for Darksend, maybe more will get clear with the next development update that Evan mentions....
