The Dash network participated over the last two weeks in a wonderful example of what makes us great. Masternodes collectively voted on whether we should have an accelerated release. This poll was aimed to understand the wishes of the network. We had multiple people advocate for releasing as soon as possible, but also some others on the other side expressed how they wanted the release to go more smoothly.<\/p>\n
If the proposal had passed with a resounding YES, our release date would have been the 19th of July. Not counting abstains we currently have 68% for this proposal and 32% against. It is about the same for Evonode operators. While the reasons for voting yes have been pretty straightforward, we have heard various reasons from Masternodes in the \u201cno\u201d camp. My perception from this feedback was that the most common reason why people voted no was that they wanted a more stable release. Second, many people wanted withdrawals enabled from the moment of activation. And in third we had people who thought that we should have everything ready in order to have a complete release that would be completely ready for external developers.<\/p>\n
This was a not so straightforward decision for many people. Since the vote did pass by the slimmest of margins we at DCG will respect the wishes of the majority. However, we also want to see an activation which does require 2\/3rds of the network to actually run the new version.<\/p>\n
We have therefore decided to follow the direction of the accelerated release, but to add an additional 10 days of testing. By doing so we should see a healthier release with a slight less chance of chain halts. This means the mainnet release date is set to be on Monday, July 29th.<\/p>\n
This release should be seen as a mainnet beta. We will also be releasing the Rust SDK as a beta. While the Javascript SDK does exist it should be seen as an alpha version. External developers can use it, but it should be only seen as an early preview release. Furthermore, as documentation isn\u2019t finished, we should be very cautious with trying to get external developers at this stage as we can only make a first impression once. It will take a few months to get the SDKs to a level where we will be comfortable knowing that non-advanced 3rd party developers can use them with ease. Internally however, we will be using the Rust-SDK on mobile in order to activate Dashpay which enables payments between identities with the payment happening on the core chain and where the identities of the sender and receiver are not obvious to other parties.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, we would like to stress that while we are going down the path of an accelerated release, we are still releasing a product that is quite feature-rich.<\/p>\n
In this first version some of the more important features we are releasing are:<\/span><\/p>\n The immediate goal after release will be to make sure the network is stable, then it will be to get DPNS and Dashpay activated, followed by being able to provide the next version with withdrawals enabled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dash network participated over the last two weeks in a wonderful example of what makes us great.
