IPO:

Development is taking forever. Too much going on that is delaying actual work.

What we will probably do, is have a pre-IPO "order commitment". Users will Bitcoin account histories and/or Github accounts and project contributors will be allowed to commit to IPO, up to percentage of the IPO. Participation will be capped at 5 BTC and the cap will go down as the pool gets depleted.

Then the people who have been following project for a while, will get a guaranteed commitment to IPO, without worrying about timing. Then rest of IPO pool will be released after launch.


I have been following the project for a while and would like to get a guaranteed commitment to the IPO.
Same here. Following since initial announcement.

Is the minimum investment in skycoin is 5 BTC or i misinterpreted. Though I have a BTC account history in coinbase and local bitcoins, is this the required qualification to be a part of the IPO.

Watching, this is a world away from the typical Bitcoin clones, it takes crypto in a completely new direction and I'm looking forward to the finished mesh network going operational. It's obviously going to take time as it's a massive project but I'm prepared to be patient.

Security Projects Team

The security application team will work on projects such as
- make application permissions for resource access transparent and specific
- restricting applications from accessing data outside of their application folder
- restricting applications from network access if not required
- dedicated hardware device for key storage and signing, independent of the CPU
- dedicated hardware device for running Skywire Applications independent of CPU (FPGA?)
- dedicated hardware device for Skywire Networking Stack
- fuzzing of all external libraries used in sandbox stack
- ability to audit for unauthorized data ex-filtration and unauthorized resource access
- ability to detect, record and replay microcode exploit attacks
- platform based deterministic builds (detects compiler backdoors)
- automatic reporting of inputs and program state that result in crashes
- compartmentalization of application dependencies
- minimizing the amount of code (2000 lines, not 250,000 lines)
- minimizing application dependencies
- moving Debian towards good default security (fine grained application resource permissions, deterministic builds, usability for security)


Now if you guys can pull this off... this could be the beginning of a new computing era.
I was avidly reading your last update and I'm impressed with the plans for the future of Skycoin.

All the points made about security of current software and hardware solutions are valid and yes, scary!
Secure and private communications are a hot topic nowadays and the possibility that this project will strive to come up with effective solutions makes me want to support it even more!

I'm no coding expert nor an electronic engineer but I know a thing or 2 about OSs, Mobile Devices, Routers and Antennas.

I would love to become a meshnet node and provide a setup with antenna or multiple ones. I'm in London, UK and have quite a few friends who will be interested to help to. Any chance there will be some step by step instructions on how to set the nodes up? I've seen a post on this thread on best antennas but little info on how to set up a node. Anymore info/instructions Skycoin can share would be appreciated as I want to be ready when this project goes live and be part of "the revolution". Thanks in advance.  Grin

Is there more info on how this coin will be distributed?  From reading the OP it looks like the primary distribution is to those helping the coin...does that mean the project teams?  Or is there something else in mind?
