I'm going to be releasing a couple more updates for V6 to stabilize masternodes and payments. Then V7 will have masternode signatures for secure communication (ECDSA).
After that maybe a couple fixes, then we'll be out a beta. After that my next project is masternode payments. I'd say 3-4 weeks out maybe? Then we'll start the RCs and after the network grows and we have stability, I'll opensource.
Thank you for the update - so this means a month (or more?) before Darksend is out of beta and fully public?
It wont be released until it ready, I know that vague, but we want to make sure all the bugs are worked out so the final product works exactly the way it should.
Technically DarkSend works now, we just want to make it better, we hope everyone understands and agrees.
