1. DarkGravityWave release
2. Mutlipool which pays out in Darkcoin
3. Come out of DarkSend beta
4. Hackfest to try and break Darksend (zerocash will probably lead the charge)
5. Dark Wallet to confirm they are officially giving up
6. GMaxwell to acknowledge DarkSend is looking pretty close to e-cash vs. Bitcoin
7. Satoshi to move some $100m of coins through DarkSend, maybe just $1 would do it
8. Media to go to town on rights and wrongs of DarkCoin, privacy, e-cash, etc.
Would it be possible to get a timeframe on some of the projects that are being worked on currently so the community can be more up to date and involved?
That's not an official workflow.
It was my first stab at what was needed to reach a valuation of $1bn by the end of this year.
Is there an estimated date on DarkSend being out of beta and a "finished" product?
So here's the plan for development:
1.) Beta V4, V5... - Large changes that require everyone to upgrade to use DarkSend2.) Beyond this point, DarkSend is ready for real use and will be available in binary form (closed source still)
3.) Release Candidates - RC1, RC2, etc - I'll be taking bug reports, but these are smaller changes and none of them should require everyone to update
4.) First stable release - I think this stage should also be closed source until we're sure everything is perfect
5.) Public audits, where the closed source is shared with someone who people trust to review DarkSend (I'm not sure who that would be yet)
6.) After all audits pass and we have a real product, opensource
Currently we're in Beta V3, I'm working on V4 right now. I'm fighting some bugs then I'll do another release
