How Will the Pre-mine be Distributed?

The one billion pre-mined STG will be distributed as follows: Sale (51.25%); Development (16.75%); Team (10%); Marketing & Ecosystem (10%); Advisers (2%); Reserve (10%)

Thanks for the kind words! 

I registrered my email on the website, unfortunatly the Confirm My Subscription link I received on 2 differents email do not work at all (impossible to connect to the server address privacy.stegos.com...)

Thanks

It was interesting for me to look into your github history.  Nice to see real project development, where even VP of Engineering do commits,  unlike many other projects who just copy-paste some coin with minimal changes and claim revolution in crypto immediately.

Keep working!

Latest Technical Status Update

We've made great improvements to major features of the upcoming testnet release! Check out what we have accomplished during the last two weeks.

When Will Tokens be Distributed?

The tokens will be distributed after mainnet launch.

What is Stegos' Monetary Policy?

STG token emission will start at 14% during the first 4 years and halve every 4 years thereafter.

How is Stegos being funded?

Stegos will generate a pre-mine of 1 billion STG tokens. Up to 51.25% of the STG pre-mine may be privately sold to high net-worth individuals and companies to reach a maximum of $30 million. Stegos has already raised $15 million of this target in 2018. Once the mainnet is launched, STG tokens will be sold directly to the general public using the built-in DEX.

Stegos Main Features

Payments and messaging

Unlike other privacy platforms, Stegos can be used to send both payments and data with complete confidentiality. The Stegos trusted application container (TAC) allows developers to easily build apps that communicate anonymously, privately and efficiently.

Scalability and pruning

Stegos is a fast and highly scalable thanks to transactional sharding. Spent coins and consumed data are safely pruned from the blockchain. Stegos is the first public blockchain to offer secure, private data storage and transmission in addtion to payments. Stegos is compact enough to run on smartphones.

Tech Report May, 6th - May, 17th

Here is what we accomplished in the period May, 6th — May, 17th:

Done in Sprint 16
• New StakeUTXO, Core Blockchain, StakeUTXOs with BLS signatures
• Public payment UTXO, Core Blockchain, UTXO with uncloaked recipient pubkey and amount
• Adding time locks to all UTXO types, Core Blockchain, allow UTXOs to be time-locked
• Introducing micro and macro blocks, Core Blockchain, adding more security to microblocks
• Slashing, Consensus, punishing the cheating slot owner for publishing two different blocks on the same height
• Re-Staking, Consensus, changing validators’ PBC keys related to staked tokens at the predetermined intervals
• Stabilize ValueShuffle facilitating in the event of epoch change, ValueShuffle, fine-tuning of the Facilitator code
• Change PBC keys: network, Network, support for changing node’s pbc (validator) keys on the go
• Check for stale connections, Network, check if some neighbor connections are stale and re-connect
• Stress Testing: Deploy TxGenerator, Testing, transaction generator deployment support for devnets
• Use AONT (All or Nothing) for all serialized representation of secrets, Security, additional security for in-memory representations of secrets
• Implement WAU (Wipe After Use) for all secrets, Security, additional security for in-memory representations of secrets

Plans for Sprint 17
• Speed-up node bootstrap and re-synchronization, Node, fine-tuning bootstrap constants
• Service Awards, Core Blockchain, required to create an incentive for validators to be always online
• Compress Micro Blocks to Macro Blocks, Consensus, remove last epoch’s micro blocks by moving their data to a single macro block
• Optimize bulletproofs, Crypto, make bulletproofs verification faster than current 23 ms using parallelization (no processor-dependent optimizations yet)
• HashCash: more bug-fixing, Network, bug fixing of HashCash protocol
• Fork Resolution: more bug-fixing, Consensus, bug fixing of fork resolution mechanism for micro blocks
• UTXO Timestamp Locking, Core Blockchain, implement locking of UTXOs
• PublicPaymentUTXO: additional tx validation rules, Core Blockchain, implement additional transaction verification rules for transactions involving public payment UTXOs
• PublicPaymentUTXO: support in wallet, Wallet, implement support for public payment UTXOs usage in wallet
• Introduce variable fees in transactions, Core Blockchain, Wallet, introduce the ability to set arbitrary fee amount for transaction in order to increase chances of transaction to be included in the nearest block
• DDoS Protection: blacklisting and rate-limiting, Network, implement rate-limiting and blacklisting as initial network-level DDoS protection mechanism
• Change PBC keys: wallet, node, Node, support for changing node’s pbc (validator) keys on the go
• Persist Payment History in Wallet, Wallet, required to support showing the payment history in wallet
• Don’t require wallet secret key for validator nodes, Security, reduce chances for an attacker to get hold of private wallet keys on hosted validator nodes by simply not requiring them to be present
• LRU cache for unpacked UTXO, Node, node UTXO database optimization
• Stress Testing: Packet Delay and Loss, Testing, part of test harness
• Stress Testing: Large Number of Nodes, Testing, part of test harness

I love these projects! I think while there is no common use of cryptocurrencies, it is better to stay in the shadows. I'm for security and secrecy.

Stegos block rewards are distributed using gamified Proof-of-Stake (gPOS)


The Stegos privacy blockchain uses a version of Albatross which has been optimized for privacy and mobile compatibility.

Stegos block rewards are distributed using gamified Proof-of-stake (gPoS), a unique modification to Proof-of-stake which ensures that all users have a fair chance to earn tokens for maintaining and validating the network, not just whales.

Stegos was featured at Crypto Sherlock!

Meet Stegos!

Absolute Privacy

Payment and data transactions in Stegos are unlinkable, untraceable, and completely confidential thanks to Stegos' Snowball Protocol.

User-Focused

Stegos app replicated all popular features of global-omni-purpose apps such as facebook and WeChat. Every user can earn tokens, not just whales.

Full Mobile Support

Mobile nodes can stake and validate, making Stegos the first mobile blockchain. Supports billions of regular users on a truly decentralized platform.

Did you know that Stegos can send messages and data via the blockchain?

Stegos is regularly pruned to keep it small. This means the Stegos blockchain has space for messages and data, in addition to standard transactions.
