ROADMAP ?
I am trying to evaluate my DRK investment.
Essential to know this week's, and this month's, and this summer's plans.
As it is difficult to nail down specific dates, it could also be like "probably end of July", or "late next week"; or give dates, with a lot of buffer time.
Is there a roadmap, a list of dates?
Planned announcements, whitepapers, next versions, coin features, merchant adoption, conference talks, press conferences, google hangouts, games, competitions, etc. pp. ?
Thank you very much!
Dates are a bit fluid due to the fact that the coin is still in active development. There will be setbacks and leaps forward, as is normal in a development setting.
The next release candidate, which you can read about here:
http://goo.gl/vwU28V should be out sometime around the end of this month. The anonymity improvements listed there have already been further improved upon (rather significantly) and should make it in at at the same time. Details on those improvements will probably come out sometime this week, FYI.
After that the code will be audited by a well known party (name to be revealed shortly). This person will report back on the viability of the Darksend code and mechanism, basically saying "yes this does everything they say it does" or "no, there are some issues and here's what they are."
Depending on the outcome of that audit, the last information I have from Evan is that he will take some time to double and triple check everything before moving into open source.
If that timeline changes, we will announce it on the darkcointalk.org Official Announcement forum, with links to it from our social media presences (Twitter, Facebook, G+, etc.).
