Hi cryptonewb, welcome to our forum.
There is no ETA known yet and the details are also unknown.
That's a pitty, I was looking forward to it.
I've read that there was a presentation in amsterdam. I hope that Evan released some information there on how it will be implemented.
It would be good to at least know it's possible and know the way forward. I hope he reveals his plans a bit...
After all, we are a decentralized currency, no? So if someone wants to help developing, it would be a good idea for Evan to release his plans so others can start working on it, even as volunteers! As far as I know, bitcoin has a lot of volonteers working on the code, not many are paid.
The latest was from Evan and can be read here :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg12638189#msg12638189 I either read or heard somewhere that v13 (codename Evolution) is planned to be released in 3 versions (v1, v2, v3) and that only the last version will have the full scalability implemented.
Evan has mentioned he will bring out video's to prepare us for Evolution (i remember hearing him say that 10 video's will come out to deal with it all in detail)
thanks, interesting!
so eventually the number of DASH needed for a masternode will be lowered. Wouldn't that make the system less secure, as the security relies on people acting honestly because they have a stake in dash? Again, i'm back to security... I still didn't figure that out, lol... #confused.
Also what stan.distortion already mentioned in the previous page, its a good idea to watch the introduction video's on page 1
edit : i replaced your picture with a higher resolution, i hope you don't mind...
I watched them

and thx for the better picture!
