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.

Absolute Privacy

Payment and data transactions in Stegos are unlinkable, untraceable, and completely confidential thanks to Stegos' Snowball Protocol.

User-Focused

Stegos app replicated all popular features of global-omni-purpose apps such as facebook and WeChat. Every user can earn tokens, not just whales.

Full Mobile Support

Mobile nodes can stake and validate, making Stegos the first mobile blockchain. Supports billions of regular users on a truly decentralized platform.

I love tables and chairs. It's so nice to own one especially if you made them yourself.

Did you know that Stegos can send messages and data via the blockchain?

Stegos is regularly pruned to keep it small. This means the Stegos blockchain has space for messages and data, in addition to standard transactions.

To some people, apologizing can make some people feel vulnerable, or feel like they are in danger of losing their power and status. Others simply equate saying "I'm sorry" with admitting they're inadequate or incompetent, which makes admitting mistakes so much harder to do.

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

I haven't explored the dark web and don't have plans to do so. A lot of ugly and illegal stuff going in there so I'd rather stay out.

Saw the episode today and Dany going full mad queen was terrifying. It's so heart-breaking seeing innocent people getting slaughtered. Now I realized why Melisandre predicted Arya to shut down eyes with these colors in particular order: Brown, Blue and Green. One more episode to go. I'll definitely miss may favorite show of all time.

Happy Mother's day to all mothers of the world! We love you and thank you for all that you have done for us!

I love cookies and cream.

From an ecological standpoint, simplicity, reliability and cost to operate, raw performance capabilities, it’s pretty hard not to be interested in electric cars.

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.
Please reset your local database if you upgrading from the previous release:

It was a shocking episode. Rhaegal was killed, Missandei was executed and starbucks had a cameo lol.

There will be a fourth dragon. It's shown in the opening credits of Season 8.

I don't think it's a scam. Polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, lakes are drying up, typhoons are more frequent. We only have one home and that is Earth. We should do our best to protect it at all cost.

Loved the moment when Captain America used Mjolnir. Although Thor is now fat, I loved his new Viking look. Yeah, sucks Hulk was now so Tame. I miss the old Hulk just going berserk. But overall, the movie was awesome for me. A great ending to an epic series.

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

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

I use my phone mainly for work. But I make sure that I don't get hooked to it to the point that I ignore socializing with people, especially my family. After work, I get off the phone and the internet and spend time with my kids.
