During the last week we\u2019ve been squashing bugs in the RC4 client and getting everything as stable as possible. As of the last update, it\u2019s working for nearly everyone and humming along.<\/p>\n
The next 3-6 weeks will be spent creating the RC5 client which will have a few minor updates including some known issues resolved along with a basic gui that shows the current status of Darksend.<\/p>\n
Also, we\u2019ll be working on improving the Darksend source code and getting it ready for other programmers to help out. It needs heavy commenting and some basic refactoring.<\/p>\n
Kristov is preparing deliverables for both the strength of anonymity and the code security of Darksend. Expect this to be released while work on RC5 is ongoing. Depending on what Kristov has found, this could delay RC5 so that we can fix important issues. As it currently stands, that doesn\u2019t appear to be a concern.<\/p>\n
Due to the delayed release of RC4, enforcement of masternode payments was not able to be extensively tested. We plan on beginning testing this feature soon. If possible, it will be turned on in mainnet before the launch of RC5.<\/p>\n
RC5 should be solid for open sourcing. We\u2019ll have someone else look the source over, then we\u2019ll be open-sourcing soon after. While this is ongoing, we\u2019ll start work on our next project.<\/p>\n
One of the future goals is to turn the masternode network into a decentralized business for masternode operators. To do this we\u2019ll add features that improve the privacy of end users and compete with centralized businesses. Our first endeavor into this is to make a completely private tor network within Dash.<\/p>\n
The Dash network will begin to offer anonymous internet access via the masternode network. As a user, all you\u2019ll have to do is pay a fee for 24 hours of access. This fee will be paid to a masternode in much the same way the masternode fees are paid, using a deterministic algorithm for distributing the payments evenly across the whole network.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a few benefits to running a private tor network through Dash.<\/p>\n
As for the cost of the service we\u2019re thinking $0.50 per day or something to that effect.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re still working on the details how this will function and this isn\u2019t a feature that we\u2019re absolutely set on. We\u2019re very interested to get the community\u2019s response to see if it\u2019s viable .<\/p>\n
Maybe after it\u2019s opensource other developers can help with some of these ideas:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
