any master nodes presale?

Tech Report May, 6th - May, 17th

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

Done

• 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

In-progress

• Micro and macro blocks, Core Blockchain, adding more security to micro blocks and compressing micro blocks into one-per-epoch macro blocks
• 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
• Service Awards, Core Blockchain, required to create an incentive for validators to be online
• Stabilize ValueShuffle facilitating in the event of epoch change, ValueShuffle, fine-tuning of the Facilitator code
• Speed-up node bootstrap and re-synchronization, Node, fine-tuning bootstrap constants

Testnet #6 Has Been Released with New Improvements!

This is the sixth testnet release of the Stegos blockchain. Changes since Testnet 5:

• Added HashCash challenge to PubSub protocol to limit denial-of-service attacks
• Implemented simplified Re-Staking for tracking validators' online status
• Implemented wallet recovery using 24-word recovery phrase
• Implemented wallet password protection and encryption of keys stored on disk
• Split 1 STG to 1 000 000 microSTG.
• Limited the number of UTXO in transactions and blocks

Breaking changes:

TestNet-6 release is not compatible with TestNet-5.

Tech Report Apr, 22nd - May, 3rd

During the last two weeks our development team has been working hard to finalize major features of the upcoming testnet release.

The following tasks were completed in the period April,22nd — May, 3rd:

Done

• Finalize HashCash integration, Network, required to prevent DoS-attacks
• Stress Testing: Transactional Load Generator, Testing, the part of test harness
• Determine major blockchain constants: Maximum UTXOs per Block, Epoch Length & Block Time, Consensus, those are important parameters of the consensus protocol
• Wallet Recovery, Wallet, required to recover wallet keys using 24-word recovery phrase
• Key Encryption on the Disk, Wallet, implement safe storage of keys on disk
• Proof of UTXO Construction, Wallet, a feature allowing to prove that a particular transaction has taken place in the past

In progress

• 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
• Service Awards, Core Blockchain, required to create an incentive for validators to be online
• Stress Testing: Multiple Regions, Network, launch nodes in multiple AWS regions to test consensus with real-life latencies
• ValueShuffle: Bots, ValueShuffle, required to facilitate VS transactions in absence of enough VS transactions intents

Roman Tsisyk

• Wallet Recovery is about recovery using 24-word recovery phrase. This feature has been implemented and can be used by Wallet UI.

Don't you think that marketing activity is very low? Development is high and team funds are the same of reserve and marketing..

Excellent! Thank you for your interest in the project. ⛑️

Stegos will generate a pre-mine of 1 billion STG tokens as the initial supply. Of these, up to 51.25% will be sold publicly to raise $20M (million). The remaining 48.75% will be used to pay for costs and compensate team members, backers and advisors. These values have been carefully selected to enable us to reach our development milestones and jumpstart the Stegos ecosystem.

Here's the token allocation:
51.25% - Sold to the public
16.75% - Development
10.0% - Marketing & Ecosystem
10.0% - Reserve
10.0% - Team
2.0% - Advisors & Key Backers

Wow. I'm glad with you Dev. Plz improve this discussion more relevant so we can see the development of your project so that in order for your account to become Jr member and we will give you at least one merit to update your ANN bitcointalk as such infographics look great.

Yes, I agree with you, I see it's development on GitHub so far your project has high activity on the source code that is being built and I would conclude that project was total own-blockchain of stegos aka independent chain

i have join your telegram...do you plan presale cause your coin is pos and how much supply and premine? if there's any premine can you tell us distribution percentage is for like precentage founder, team, developement, presale, etc?

Hello BusWay18! Getting listed on exchanges is currently being explored so stay tuned for updates. We don't have plans for airdrop and bounty yet but you can check back with us soon. In the meantime, please join our Telegram channel at https://t.me/stegos4privacy

how to get coin? mining or any presale (masternode)..and what's plan for marketing and get listed exchange? is there any bounty and airdrop? 

Thanks Saugani! It’s a blockchain built from scratch and using the best of the current blockchain theory, plus our own research. We have nothing to do with Ethereum and use none of their (or any other blockchain’s) code. We believe we could do better than zerocoin so we didn’t implement their protocol.

Absolutely! Our blockchain is fast and we discard old and spent data in a cryptographically secure way.

Zcash and Monero can only be used for payments, and all display weaknesses in terms of scalability, privacy, security, or usability. Stegos builds and improves upon these and other privacy coins and can be used to send both payments and data with complete confidentiality. The Stegos trusted application container (TAC) allows developers to easily build applications that communicate anonymously, privately, and efficiently.

For MimbleWimble, the receiver of the payment needs to be online for the security features to work. Current implementations of MimbleWimble fail the non-interactive requirement by requiring users to communicate out of band, potentially compromising security. Both these restrictions are unacceptable reductions in privacy, so our current design removes them.

Awesome! Thanks for helping us out! 

Your point of comparison is Zcash, Monero and MimbleWimble. Let us see how far you will achieve in terms of popularity of usage with respect to Zcash & Monero. What are your programs to convince crypto users that you are much much better than those 3 mentioned altcoins combined? Zcash & Monero have been in this community for so long already. They already cemented their position in this crypto industry and most of the projects that tried to imitate their features are not anywhere near their popularity.

woww, very a lot of backing for the technology by Stegos.

what are it’s running in a mission direction with the implementation of the privacy use stegos project? and why not carry out zerocoin protocol?
ok, the consensus mechanism use PoS, right. so it was own-chain (independent) or base-on ethereum chain?

So Dev, greetings with your project I’ll surfing Github and team also another base stegos project
