All launch-related things are cleared and finished. wallets (RC) are now being tested the last time before launch. PoS algo and retarget have been optimized during the last months. We, the STOX-team, have put a lot of effort into this project and its realization to make it a technical as well as a economic success. I am using the last weeks before launch to prepare PR and marketing related organizations/materials and a detailed press statement. Thanks to all supporters and interested users. Special thanks to HABO (hackerboard) and Marko Widmer for providing a highend-infrastructure to enable network-related experiments and tests.

hi choochimil. we have made updates twice a month, from the first day we registered this account. as a matter of fact: the post of 8th dec. was updated twice a month. no new posts have been made as the thread was locked. last update was from end of february... I ve answered all PMs (as the thread was locked). About 30 e-mails were answered separately. And i ve replied to every single message in IRC as well...

We prefer to spend our time with REAL work and creating a REAL and solid base for this project.    unlike the majority of this alt-coin scene and their so called "DEVs" we make a public post when there is something fullfilled or a milestone reached. Lets put it like that: we spend more time thinking than typing and hyping. i am sure you know what i mean...

Yes we are holding a small ICO. ESCROW accepted and even prefered. PoD 5+ rating available (notary verification + video verification and proof of identity with officially issued government certificate).


thank you zen2, thats the reason for our participation in the PoD process and also getting a 5+ rating. I have longterm experience in the field of software development (especially network and security related projects) and know that you simply CAN NOT invest into a project you don't know who you are working with. So in my eyes, this is the pre-requirement for a sucessfull cryptocurrency project with tech- and coding-dependcies.



regarding the PoW:
First of all i would like to announce that we are going to make a provably FAIR-LAUNCH. This means that we will have a PoW-timeframe of 6h with each block ONLY CONTAINING 1 STOX.
PoW is planned to last a few weeks, maybe up to 1 month, and the first week generating the most coins. We will use a simple and effective block-reward scheme with an efficient retargeting algorithm.
PoW-algorithm is going to be scrypt. (LTC-fork with the extended features mentioned in our last post)

regarding the ICO:
It's going to be a small ICO generating 73.2 BTC. 66% of the total coin-capitalization are going to be sold in the ICO. So its simple math: This scheme ensures a fast and profitable RoI for every STOX-investor.

specs conclusion:
Each STOX has an initial value of 0.00003050 BTC
the total coincapital contains 3.6 mio STOX [100%]
the ICO capital contains 2.4 mio STOX [66.666%]
POW-capital = 1.2 mio STOX [33.333%]
 

#EDIT: 23/04/2015: We have two new team-members/supporters. A professional online-marketer and SEO expert. And a graduated IT-engineer from the region of Bern (switzerland) who is already well known in this forum and will introduce himself in the coming weeks.

#EDIT: 01/05/2015: I have ordered some artwork and a video-intro for STOX. All press-related material will be released together with the wallets.

#EDIT: 09/05/2015: Wallets are now in the final testing. We will present more detailed specs towards end of the month.

#EDIT: 18/05/2015: Testnet will be shutdown now and preparations for public network met.

#EDIT: 03/06/2015: Wallets are now BETA release candidates.  Network is secure and tested solid.

#EDIT: 09/07/2015: Integration test. JS portation and new gfx.

Our tresor-network left alpha-stage. We made a lot of tests the last months and recoded some parts of the framework. Our "master"-node also integrates a DNS-seed which discovers peers automatically and broadcasts them to the network and all other clients. Next milestone is setting up a dedicated communitcation platform for development and experimenting inside the stox-network, we name it StoxLab. The team decided to launch STOX on 27th SEPTEMBER 2015. Our RC-wallet is containing Blockexplorer, Marketoverview, Staking-information and StoxSend (Stealth payment system which is an implementation of a Diffie-Hellman key exchange system.) at launch. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie%E2%80%93Hellman_key_exchange) - if you re interested in the technical aspects behind Stealth payments watch this very interesting video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QnD2c4Xovk

We hope you join this new cryptocurrency/opportunity in summer 2015. Any questions are welcome.
the Stox-team

tresorNET is running. We have unique network-setups and
self-written load-balancers.
the tresorNET infrastructure is now beeing tested with a pseudo-cryptocurrency
and will be extended in the coming weeks.

#EDIT: 20th february 2015 - tresorNodes are being run with a new balance-module now. at the moment I am finishing the beta-wallets
for new integrations. Will unlock this thread before launch.

hello shadowmoon,

the networksetup for tresorNET is being finalised. wallets will be released in the new year (Q2 2015) after
further testing and development. We have new unique user interface as well as extended network and p2p coin-mixing service.

This is planned to be pure PoS but we are going to buy 5-10% of the initial marketcap for distribution within the community(bounties,..).


#EDIT we will hold a PoW-stage

thank you, is my job to keep you informed!
i am also preparing public introduction of my person.

Dear community,

please check my github repo regularily. I will publish the stox-cryptolibrary
(the coming days) before i commit the stox-sources. if you have any questions please
contact me!


#edit rpc wrap library have been removed until official launch in Q3/Q4.  we added some 3rd party functionality.

what sort of plugin?

sure we are willing to meet in RL/public! Italia is kinda to far away from us.
How do you think about a meeting in the region near zurich, st.gallen or lake constance?

and i want to post some words about PoD:
 in my opinion it s depending on the ratinglevel. Notarized documents are the highest
possible security for a rating. It simply not possible to fake it because it s officialy registered with a legal authentications number.
This means it s easily verifiable (1 fax/call) if it s faked or not.

Anyway. I do not think all crowdfunding projects should be banned. Other than many verified coins
i am submitting notarized identification proof and proof of residence. This are things which can not
be just faked as they have official registration numbers. I am not sure what method
of verification equinox had, but i am sure it wasn't through notary verification.

please wait for the official developer verification before accusing us of something.

thanks

depends on the project. i don't think every ICO is the same.
apart from that we are participating for PoD and will post the highest
rating BEFORE the ICO launches.

thanks for your time. i understand your concerns.



THANKS!


thank you!

What makes STOX special?  

As aforementioned, the use of STOX is not only possible for miners/cryptopros, which have the knowledge and skills for the complexity of cryptocurrency. It opens a new world for the average people and for people who are interested in this innovative and widespread payment option. STOX comes with "StoxMart", an online marketplace for each of us. The initial version of StoxMart is an opencart-based webapplication.
This process is made possible with a high-qualified technical support and development-team.
The assignment of the technical support is to care for an extremely stable infrastructure. Additionally they offer a twenty-for-seven consulting service and a detailed introduction into the extensive system of cryptocurrencies, escpecially STOX.


Who is behind STOX?


A high-qualified three men team located in switzerland, who has the expert knowledge as a result of long lasting experience. We have a lot of experience in network architecture and network-specific software development, which we are happy/ready to share with our users and investors.
For full confidence we are participating in the PoD verification process of CryptoAsian (cryptoasian.com) which is published below.


Roadmap 1.0:




Where and how to get STOX?

We are holding a small ICO offering 2/3 of total coin-cap for a total fund of 73.2 BTC.
The initial offering price is 3050 sat per STOX, extra for fast ROI and profit. 1 STOX = 0.00003050 BTC
ICO will start before launchday (Q3/Q4 2015 - to be announced).  any trustworthy ESCROW accepted!

The other 1/3 of the coin-cap will be mineable through PoW/PoS.




How save is the stability of the network?

As mentioned the stability of the infrastructure has for us a high significance.
Therefor we developed “TresorNet”, which is a combination of diverse server.  
These servers are distributed around the globe, with the target to create a completely new kind of peer to peer network-stability.
More information is following soon.

Some facts:

*3.6 million coins total supply
*4.5% stake reward per year
*ready for launch: Wallets(Mac, Windows, Linux), blockexplorer, "TresorNet", "StoxMart"
*next milestones after launch: STOXmobile (ANDROID)
