I'm a big fan of this as well. The community is what really drives any crypto project. They are the ones that affect the price with their supply and demand, and they can help to get awareness for the project.

The more you can keep your community involved, the better!

No worries, that happens often in every other thread in here. Everyone being in here long enough have been used to it already .

is it possible to explain how DUSK is going to achieve scalability issues that happening in current version of all chain? also is there any plan to create interoperability with other side chain?

Our Devnet together with the wallet is scheduled for launch this quarter, with the testnet coming up in Q1 2019.

It's great that you plan to launch a network so soon.
But won't you start the test network first? This might be somewhat similar to MVP.

Apologies for the image error mess on this thread. The image hosting website is down.

Great to hear that! At least the community gets to see your GitHub codes and that is fine with me as long as we see an active development coming along the way. Please update us asap on your security audits.

It makes sense, but it's specifics of crypto. Some investors need more tangible proof, because there are unfortunately too many scam projects and just average projects that won't likely become successful. And with mvp or a demo there is a higher chance to figure out what is what.

In regards to your question about MVP/Prototype
 
As for the MVP part, this is a research project about an advanced blockchain protocol, not an app. In that sense MVP has no meaning. But rest assured we are going to implement the technology iteratively and according to a set of specifications that are in our opinion close to an ISO standard.

In fact the very question about “showing code and progress” is very valid and we see it asked often in the cryptocommunity. But its important to understand that it comes from the fact that nowadays blockchain whitepapers are nothing more than a business plan full of technical claims that are not substantiated by a carefully laid out analysis or by formal descriptions of the envisioned algorithms. In that regard inspecting the code base is a way to understand the legitimacy of the development efforts and its “progress”. Dusk research paper is exactly the opposite and way more advanced. It goes to a great extent to describe accurately the technology used and the algorithm. You won’t find details of business development or even use cases. This because it is intended as a development manifesto (a proof of concept - similar to what an aforementioned prototype or MPV would prove) of a complete system with all components laid out and specified quite formally. In that sense, by inspecting code you would learn nothing more than what is already laid out quite accurately in the research.

Our mainnet is scheduled for launch in Q2 2019. Development is coming along nicely. We will publish a developer blog each month and update GitHub, once we pass the security audits, respectively.

But its not only the fast and competent reaction of the Ann-creator. Also their website, whitepaper and the whole idea are impressive.

Yes, if we take a look at the communication of the team, we can say that they are very professional and know what they are doing.

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.

The whitepaper is like a scientific thesis to me or any average crypto follower, most extensive and technical one

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.

After reading some days here I have to say:
Very competent and experienced people on board, DUSK is defintely on the top of my investing list.

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.
