Is Ethereum gonna make their own official announcement?
Somewhat related to this, Dan said yesterday on Slack:
"Hey, we havent provided any code yet as we arent done with the poc but for full cross chain enablement there will need to be some code added to ethereum for xbridge to function fully"
So as far as I can tell, Ethereum is not yet "blocknet-enabled," but Blocknet is currently working with Ethereum on making this happen. I expect that once Ethereum's codebase is updated with the "xbridge" code, then at that time there will be some announcement (but that's just my guess).
While that doesn't answer your question, I hope it provides some context.
See above. As battbot suggested, it is likely due to the fact that Ethereum's codebase has not been updated with the xbridge yet. It makes sense to me from Ethereum's perspective: why officially announce something that has not been completed?
Also, note that the cointelegraph article was co-edited by both Synechist (of Blocknet) and George Hallam, (Business and Partnerships Director of Ethereum). Thus, Ethereum has already commented regarding the relationship. To me, the article appears to be an informal announcement from Ethereum's side.
Didnt noticed the Business and Partnerships Director of Ethereum helped co-edit, thats good enough for me

You all expect something new everyday? geez hes gotta work as well as rest. He is no robot
Look at roadmap. I can understand if one day behind.
Yeah he is behind. But I will not blame him he worked his ass off... For a nice TIP I can help him with some news coverage that takes few hours. With the website I bet it's almost ready to be published. What more do you want ?
Give the man a break. I am very sad of this dump but what can I do ? Nothing. Oh yeah I am downloading a movie to relax . Even if the situation looks horror.
I have an Iphone 5s and 5c I want to sell on slingroad but im still not sure how it works, and we get a video tutorial on how to list and escrow and what not? Or maybe a newbie walkthrough guide of some sorts? Thanks in advance
It should be auto released if one party didn't put up the funds after a period of time.
I don't understand why you have such a difficult time understanding unless you're just trolling
I am trolling? WTF? i just want to know can you tell me how long the expiry, instead of period of time:)
I wish the dev would come around to answer you or provide more information on how escrowing works in sling.
Since he mentioned he worked off the bitmarket workflow... it *might* be similar to how bitmarket does it :
Quote
Escrow Lock When the seller approves the purchase, the seller's client constructs the first part of the escrow lock transaction which contains their security deposit and sends this to the buyer's client. The buyer's client then adds their own Sling inputs for payment and the buyer's deposit, signs the transaction and sends it to the seller to sign and broadcast the completed transaction to the Sling network.
Neither party's funds are locked (unavailable for spending) until the transaction is submitted to the Sling network. If either party fails to complete the escrow message exchange or submit the completed escrow to the Sling network, either can cancel the escrow by sending their own Sling inputs for the transaction to another address they own. Cancellation is only possible if the completed escrow transaction has not been sent to the Sling network first.
Dev is depressed cuz this coin is crashing. no big timers are gonna use sling.
He's moved on to another coin this thread closes in 48hrs he told me in IRC
You have some serious Bi-polar issues my friend, First its lets kill sling, then its FUD then its, Lets get some PR we are the best and first now its back to fud and kill, make up your mind
Someone should make a reddit post or start getting the word out to the darknet. Motherboard is a great outlet...maybe we can get a article like shadow did. I Mean We ARE THE FIRST DECENTRALIZED MARKET !
If I remember correctly the dev said something about I2P not to long back, if he integrates that will we be able to choose to either use TOR or I2P while using the market? This project is crazy!!!!!!!!
