How will the app store work? How will I know apps are safe and private?Stegos privacy apps will be stored off-chain to keep Stegos compact. However, each privacy app must create an on-chain manifest which includes a description of the app, tags and keywords to aid searching, the URL used to download it and a hash of the app bundle. The app bundles are signed with the developers’ public key, which allows users to leave on-chain app reviews to rank individual apps and developers. Learn more about Stegos at https://stegos.com/

Where can I find other Stegos privacy apps?In addition to the main Stegos app, the Stegos privacy ecosystem is designed to encourage the development of other apps which focus on privacy and use the Stegos platform as a base. To help users find Stegos will have an on-chain privacy app store. Learn more about Stegos at https://stegos.com/

Will Stegos App Support Private Messaging?Yes. Private communication integrated within the Stegos app. Messages will be sent as zero-value transactions via the Stegos blockchain and pruned from the chain once the messages are confirmed as read. Users can send a QR code via private chat to initiate an STG transaction. It is also possible to create chat groups and invite people to chats via QR codes Learn more about Stegos at https://stegos.com/

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
Hi there! Thanks for letting us know. We've fixed the registration and it should be working fine now. Please try to register again. |

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!
Thanks for the kind words!  |

What is Stegos' Monetary Policy?STG token emission will start at 14% during the first 4 years and halve every 4 years thereafter. Learn more about Stegos at https://stegos.com/

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. Learn more about Stegos at https://stegos.com/

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.

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.
where can I read more information about this improvement? Hi there! You can find out more updates at our blog https://stegos.com/blog/. Also, check out our project plan at https://github.com/stegos/stegos/wiki/project-plan. |

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
