I saw some news about lightning network recently, is this relevant to this project?

Yes it's, CommerceBlock sidechains are pegged to bitcoin network, so adding lightning network will be natural extension once the tech matures.

You mentioned there's no masternodes, but what is required other than a server to run a sidechain for payment in CBTs? Would it require a certain number of CBTs?

Yes, in order to run a sidechain participants need to hold and lock CBTs, the sidechains are PoS based. nodes running the sidechain will collect fees in CBT, in addition in the future will offer services that will run on top of sidechain to offer more advanced trade and commerce tools these services will collect CBTs as well.

Do you have any idea how many CBTs will be required to lock in for the side chain?

Nope, we have not finalised price discovery.

Have you submitted CBT to coinmarketcap already? I would love to follow the progress there and see how the market reacts. All in all I view CBT as a long term hold, but still Smiley

Yeah same here, looking forwards to tracking CBT's progress on CMC

And Blockfolio! Although at the moment it's a nice surprise forgetting about CommerceBlock when look at portfolio then remembering I have moar tokens  Cheesy

It's in progress Smiley

CoinMarketCap requires the official CBT token registered on EtherDelta... this has been submitted so awaiting their action (although they are probably a little busy with their ICO!). Once the CBT ticker is officially registered on EtherDelta and the daily trading volume exceeds $50k the CoinMarketCap application will be complete

Any plans for mining this coin?

We have PoS based systems, we are planning to launch PoS based sidechains, fees will be payable in CBTs, next we will offer complementary services for commerce and trading on top of sidechains that will be possible to join and earn CBT tokens as well.

As it's a PoS based system does that mean there might be CBT masternodes in future too?

We don't have that, sidechains will be managed by federation of functionaries, PoS is used for two purposes signing blocks and evolving consensus rules on the network.

What is the usage of CBT? what kind of services?

We offer variety of services for businesses, from managing public sidechains and all the orchestration to trading and commerce tools on top of these sidechains, CBT is the token used to pay for these services.

What is the usage of these sidechains?

I think the sidechains can be private if required by the customers. They can create tokens on it and have more control over everything this way. The customers would pay in CBT for the services (sidechains, smart contracts etc)
This is my understanding. Please correct me if wrong Cheesy

So why not just use ERC20? the issuer can still control the smart contract.

Is it because ERC20 doesn't provide the same privacy functionality as BIP175 can?

This is another advantage, privacy is a challenge in Ethereum in general since it's account based with no confidentiality at all.
CommerceBlock sidechains offer better privacy in several aspects, one is confidential transfers where the amount and asset type is blinded, second is the ability to embed external data into addresses in private manner using BIP175.

What is BIP175?

BIP175 is proposal that we have submitted last year to the bitcoin community, it is based on academic paper Pay to Contract and Homomorphic Addresses, the BIP is an extension to the Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets protocol (BIP32), it adds support to associate data to bitcoin address, here is more info about it github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0175.mediawiki
We have built a simple invoicing app to demonstrate this concept, you can access it here https://trade.commerceblock.com
