How I can take a stake?
Let me know when the ipo start my friends 
This looks like an interesting idea, i'll keep an eye on it.
Development Updates:
- fixed coin hour calculation bug. Each coin is 1 million "droplets". Due to integer rounding error, user would not receive coinhours from output s with a balance less than one million droplets. Bug is fixed.
- Coinhour calculation is now based upon the block time of the previous block, not the block the transaction executed in.
- Unit tests in /src/coin are fixed
- RFC for wallet is being redone to support multiple coin wallets
- design for emergency messaging system is done
- more developers have joined the darknet/meshnet project
Launch Checklist:
- a new wire protocol is being developed for transaction propagation and block replication.
- refactoring of /src/blockchain and /src/visor

great！
i hope this coin is trickier to hack than bitcoins 
for common people's sake

Skycoin, when the offering is open, how will you make the announcement? Will you update the OP, New thread, what?

Continue to pay attention to the follow-up development ,I hope it is true.
I read all the replies,skycoin is great, but the IPO is too expensive，how can I do？
how much?

I only have nxt but no btc,Can I send some NXT for the IPO?
Thanks
Thanks
You can trade NXT for BTC, it's easy, bter.com, cryptsy, poloniex etc.

Development Update:
The hash function for Skycoin deterministic wallet generation is finished. We believe our new deterministic wallet hash function is the most secure hash function against GPU and ASIC brute forcing to date. We are using a new hash called "secp256k1 Hash" that combines SHA256 with elliptic curve signature operations.
Secp256k1 Hash Implementation:
1> SHA256 seed value
2> Compute deterministic private key, pubkey pair from seed value
3> Generate deterministic secp256k1 signature from seed and generated private key
3> Append signature to seed and compute its SHA256 hash

We may do a one day mock IPO with testnet coins, so everyone can see how it works.
That would be nice.
So the IPO will start somewhere within the month (until April I guess)
BTW you better have another name for coin. Because one Skycoin [SYC] is already dead and another Skycoin [SKY] was announced today
Both of your links go to the "dead" skycoin.
sorry
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/namechange-snc-sky-netcoin-cancelled-ambiguous-492014 - not dead. and renamed
IPO Update:
- we introduced proof of work and difficulty re targeting to keep block production rate constant. As the network scales from 10 nodes to 100,000 we need to keep the block rate constant and prevent it from growing linearly with the number of nodes. This minimizes the number of decisions and rounds Obelisk needs to converge to network consensus. Proof of work will be used for block minting, but not for block consensus. There will be no reward for block minting. Malicious blocks (blocks with no transactions or few transactions) will be weighted against, to deter abuse. The proof of work is not in the block headers, but occurs at a higher level that wraps the blockchain. This makes it more modular and easy to swap out and modify without causing a hardfork.
So this will be a combination of Obelisk and PoW. But if there is no reward for minting, what is the incentive for minting?
How to get some gold coins
But when?!?
Not any time soon as OP need to setup a special wesite with a payment system and maybe do a testnet period.
But when?!?
