Is anyone planning to start a supernode hosting service? I have enough coins but not the skills or hardware, happy to do a revenue sharing deal.
what are the benefits and setbacks ( pros/cons) of being a supernode? Pro - earn % of fees Con - costs of running a SN, risk of getting hacked Is anyone planning to start a supernode hosting service? I have enough coins but not the skills or hardware, happy to do a revenue sharing deal.
Call me a bit too negative - but i don't think that someone would get up with this because if the supernode fails your coins are gone and i guess you don't want that to happen - but the 'SN-Administrator' which got the hardware and 'skills' wouln't take risk to compensate you that much - if he said so we would have a big usecase for a smartcontract maybe (yeah - i never had, until now, an real-life-fully-automatisationable-usecase for such a contract without ANY third party confirming it  ) in ETH Maybe such a process could get implemented in the future: Admin of the node sends the compensating amount to a locked adress (if you don't accept the amount it would be charged back a week later) - if you accept the contract - the amount would ne locked for a predefined time if the node fails (not reachable for x seconds or something like this) you get this amont - otherwise the admin would get a Full chargeback after the predefined time. I meant: For now you could use eth - later such a function could get implemented. There may not be a viable case for a non tech guy like myself trying to generate some income from a SN, but it's a nice idea to explore none the less. If it were possible to lease coins to another account like NXT then hack risk is mitigated, and if a long standing community member with good rep ran a pool then probably no need for complications from smart contracts etc. NXT has a forging pool based on leased balances, and it's worked well, and allowed smaller holders and non tech people to still contribute, which is good imo. |

Are sianotes holders receiving their share of the fees yet? Can you see sianotes on a block explorer?

such good promise but these useless devs are frittering it away. and what's this re. statis or what?
any updates would be nice, wtf? no idea how this hasn't been delisted from trex yet LMAO!! wtf?
It is hard to believe the dev team are too busy with Stratis to find 15 minutes to update everyone about what's going on with blitz. We must conclude the silence for all these months is deliberate, but to what end, we can only guess. |

If OPAL is still a supernet core coin then this might be more than just another zombie coin pump attemp, could be a genuine lazarus coin! Next should be FIBRE, anothe supernet core coin that needs some love. |

Like I said, not rushing into anything.
So I've thought about this for a while now and I think its worth giving it a go. I have spent quite a lot of the past two years actively trying to pursue some ideas around Service Nodes and I think some of those ideas are probably not that aligned with where Spreadcoin is heading. Two years is a long time. Which is why I don't want to start again from scratch or do an ICO. The stuff I've been doing around here for a while is still valid, it's just not where the Spreadcoin Core is going - hence a fork of sorts. There is an existing white paper branded for the benefit of SPR which is still in draft. I'll probably tidy that up a little and make use of it elsewhere. There is a new white paper which hasn't been made public yet. I need to change some things on that and then it will get released. There is a third white paper due, but it is likely to be put on the back burner until a patent is written and submitted. These things are about the direction I'm really keen to follow. That direction is more focused around service nodes that pay a coupon; give people a way to earn a living from providing services through the second layer; and ultimately about potential ways to generate dividends. I come from that type of mindset that dividends can be productive to society if done ethically, such as providing incomes for pensions. So the concept of an economic fork is where I think things will go. People will get to claim whatever stake they have in Spreadcoin in a new coin called HLM (full name to be released in due course after setting up github and a website). Everyone will be given plenty of notice about being able to claim their new coins and we won't be short changing anyone. So if you claim your HLM's you'll have Spreadcoin's and HLM coins in equal measure. It won't be some five minute process either. People that pop in once a year will still find they can redeem their HLM's. HLM is going to be a DASH fork. So it's easier to use an escrow to redeem coins than try to create some fancy automated process. Only you and the escrow will know your coin holdings - so please take into account an escrow fee. We will need to cover off people that fancy chancing their luck and claiming and claiming and claiming using the same set of coins. I look forward to keeping my Spreadcoins and seeing them grow in value over the years to come. The Spreadcoin project is in great hands. I've always supported Georgem and given the amount of time he has spent gaining knowledge about the Bitcoin codebase this project will continue to do well over the long-term. But I think my priorities are in areas of development that probably don't fit very well with where I thought SPR might have been going. So, it's not good bye but simply see ya around. GO SPREADCOIN! Awesome, two for the price of one deal, time to buy! |

If you make a list of crypto projects with unique code (not clones with a few modifications) you'll end up with about 20-25 coins.
NODE is on that list, that's why it's worth trying to save it.
Pay-off if successful would be substantial!

Sounds to me Blitz holders want part of the Stratis success now. Ain't gonna happen. You can't just sit back and watch to see if Stratis fails or succeeds and then want part of the action. You guys sound like the guy at the workplace who got invited into the lottery pool and denied but when the group won, you still want a piece of the pie. It doesn't work like that. You want some Stratis swap? Dump your Blitz and manually swap them for some Stratis from the below links. Peace out! https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-STRAThttps://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_stratNice tip for those people who complaint especially "cryptoXXXX", Chris claimed there is no swap to stratis because most of people didn't want that, Stratis is an ICO project, he will listen to us who joint ICO, not those blitzers, this topic is discussed by some guys for a few days, it is time to forget it and focus on Stratis again. That is correct. Stratis was an ICO project and any Blitz swaps that were "suppose" to happen would have been mentioned in the ICO so investors can decide if they agree with it and still want to participate in the ICO or not. Anyways, Blitz holders should just Blitz out of the Stratis thread. We are tired of hearing your cries. Ironically, they didn't cry when ICO happened, but they are crying now because Stratis is successful after ICO and raised public awareness on the bitcoin expo. They are too greedy.  Guys, I've got to say your attitudes are more likely to provoke confrontation than co-operation from effected blitz investors. Please try and understand the situation from the blitz holders perspective, especially ones like myself who knew nothing of this offer and vote. If you provoke a confrontation you may not like the consequences. I'm a stratis holder too, so I want to see this resolved fairly in a way that keeps blitz and stratis in the same ecosystem, but think of a guy who hypothetically owned 60K blitz and no stratis, if you provoke that guy he only has an incentive to destroy stratis, and there is some ammunition available on the blitz side to cause some serious damage to stratis, even if the possibility of 'winning' is zero. Cool heads please. |

Yeah, fortunately you have Stratis so you don't lose money, and blitz won't be sawpping to Stratis because most people didn't agree so forget that. Yes, I own some stratis, but I also own 15K blitz, which is ~0.375% of coin supply, and using the offered swap rate of 1/6, my 15K blitz would have been converted (hypothetically) to ~0.0625% of Stratis coin supply, which at today's market price would be worth $5375 USD. Now, there's no way anyone in my position can seriously claim Stratis owes me 5k USD, there's just too much water under the bridge, but that's a lot of 'spilt milk' to be sad about, and don't forget, I only became aware this deal was even offered and voted on less than two days ago, and I had no say in what happened at all, even though I owned 15K blitz, which was a pretty substantial stack. I understand why the stratis only investors might not be happy about this, but it should be obvious why I'm not too thrilled about what happened either, and until we hear more from those involved, none of us really know how this will play out, do we. |

don't forget Chris is probably one of the largest blitz holders, so if he honors the deal it might actually increase his stake in Stratis Where would the extra Stratis come from?  There can be no new Stratis. And with no percentage ever agreed on I don't see how there could even be a deal. Just an idea that was thrown about. How could a small group of holders do a deal for all holders? How could they have such a right? Who gave them that right? I don't have answers to any of your questions, I wasn't involved in any of these discussions, but I can see mention of them in the blitz general slack, and someone who was involved did post the proposal doc, and we know which option was selected, but not all the exact details of the agreement, but it looks beyond doubt that a vote happened. Like I said before, I trust Chris 100%, and I don't think there's any need to make knee-jerk decisions now without considering things carefully. A lot has changed since june 2016, and Stratis has exceeded most expectations so far, so the deal probably needs to be changed to reflect the current reality. Lets give the dev team time to work things out, I don't think anyone wants to shaft blitz or stratis. Here is a transcript from blitz general slack channel from June 20 2016  |

Boomboom thanks man:) I agre the troll teigger finger are itchy everywhere in btct. I feel your pain we've all been in some unfortunate situations in crypto. In a space where lawlessness rules and peoples expectations for deliverables can fall short IMO it's kind of like evolution. Not the accidental part but that sometimes pieces of one project become another, espicially when you have competing ego for ideas. I think Chris had to start fresh and it was paramount to be truely freed up from any ego, distractions or conflict in order to accomplish his vision. I hope you stick around, i know blitz has a place in all this he's mentioned it a number of times. Like the rest of us were just hodling and trying to remain positive so the stratis team can work as efficiently as possible in a supportive environment.
+1 I'm sticking around |

Boomboom at least quit quoting every time you post just use peoples names. Have some respect your using up valuable space. This is a great project, Chris was not the owner or CEO of blitz just a dev on a revolving door of devs. He is CEO here so for the rest of us please use less space.
Good suggestion, I only used those quotes to show where the numbers I used came from, but I'm sure everyone knows the situation now. I agree this is a great project, and Chris hasn't done anything wrong or unethical by the blitz investors, and I'm obviously a modest sized investor in Stratis also, so I'm invested in this from both sides. I do get frustrated that some Stratis investors pull the 'troll' trigger without actually bothering to inform themselves about the history here, and this IS a valid topic of discussion, but this is BTT, and many just buy into coins without knowing what they're really about, they just follow trading stats, and talk moon and lambos and early retirement, which doesn't add anything to the project. If you don't lose money from blitz, just give it up and make Straatis topic a coomfortable place. If you guys think blitz should swap to stratis(target for profit), it is unfair to Stratis holders. I'm gonna wait and see what happens, I wasn't privy to the blitz exec discussions, and I don't know what was said, but I do know from reading the blitz general slack channel that there was a vote, and a decision was reached, and Chris himself acknowledges that in the general slack of blitz last year. I have complete faith in Chris, and if he decides it's best to alter the 'deal', whatever that was, so as not to disadvantage Stratis only investors (as opposed to guys like me invested in both), I'll be fine with that. I am 100% confident Chris has the best interests of everyone involved at heart, and I think now that everyone knows the situation (and some obviously didn't before), the best course of action is to allow Chris time to consider things, and come up with a roadmap for blitz and stratis that keeps everyone on the same team, and happy. |

Yeah, the average Blitz investor would be rightly pissed-off at these execs who passed up the swap, and Chris looks like he made a good offer, so if they declined the swap then the blitz bagholders under 30K who didn'y know about this should blame the blitz whales for that. BUT it does look like the blitz execs and Chris agreed to this option, and unless Chris is going to deny this happened, looks like the blitz guys have some % in Stratis. That means all Stratis investors here are going to get (100% - blitz %) as there return, so this discussion is very relevant to THIS community, right? Option B:
We keep Blitzcoin as is. We make the new blockchain its own Bitalize project that pays a % to Blitz Rewards. This would mean the BAAS platform is isolated from Blitz. The new platform and blockchain will be developed in an open source manner. so some of the development could flow back into the Blitz Blockchain.
We can infer the Blitz % from the proposal document, we know from Option A that Chris was offering the Blitz executives 4M coins out of 24M, so that's 1/6, or 16.67%, so assuming Chris was offering two options that he thought were valued approx the same, and the blitz execs chose option B, we can therefore assume blitz execs agreed to a 16.67% share in stratis. Option A:
The new blockchain would have 24 million coins. The existing 4 million Blitzcoin would be exchanged for the IPO token. Then the other 20 million coins would be sold during the IPO. All of the funds raised would go into the development of this new parent blockchain, platform development and marketing. This platform will require elected nodes to secure the side chains, Blitz execs will have the first choice for operating one of these nodes, if option a is selected.
Please note these are example figures and this new blockchain is likely to have a higher coin supply.
LMAO.. you guys need to wake the fuck up and stop dreaming. you will get a big fat ZERO (0) I noticed today killakem has returned to the Blitz slack after many months away, so he's probably discussing the situation in the restricted Blitz executive channel, but I don't know that for certain as I only have ~15K blitz, so was never granted access to the executive channel myself. Too early too assume anything, but looks like Chris isn't being as dismissive of the situation as you are. edit: don't forget Chris is probably one of the largest blitz holders, so if he honors the deal it might actually increase his stake in Stratis |
