Hi Nav Coiners

It’s Monday here in New Zealand, which means it’s time for the weekly update!

I’ve had a very busy week optimising the new anonymous scripts (I was up till 3am last night!!!). I have successfully completed all the improvements which I was hoping to get done before tidying up for deployment to the live environments.

I should have the clean up done by tonight or tomorrow, then over the next few days myself and Shahim will begin to roll the new system out to the anonymous network and begin our testing on the live environments. We aim to have our testing completed by the end of this week. If no major issues are encountered we hope to relaunch the Anon network to the public next week. We will of course keep you updated and aware of any changes to this schedule if delays are incurred by our testing results.

A lot of what has been optimised is in preparation for the impending decentralisation and as such, some of the improvements are quite technical, but actually pretty neat. I will be detailing what’s changed and how everything works in a new whitepaper which describes how the new anonymous network functions as well as the plan for implementing decentralisation. My goal is to have these ready for release around the same time as we re-launch the anon network. How much time i get to spend on this documentation over the next 10 days will be largely dependent on how smooth the live deployment and testing goes.

Everything is looking good though. I am confident in this system and I think it makes decentralisation not just a possibility but well within our grasp.

Mark and Sophia have been busy writing a few articles over the weekend. The first one we are releasing is an education piece about how our anonymous system works and largely comes off the back of what I have posted here about it recently. This should give the wider public some understanding of how cool our technology really is and also spread awareness about the upcoming relaunch of the anonymous network.

Soopy and Shahim have been busy finishing the thin client for desktop. They have successfully compiled a near finished version of the thin client which runs using the electrum server instead of having to download the whole blockchain. This will allow anyone who has trouble syncing the blockchain an option to forego the hassle and just use this wallet instead. We are planning to release this wallet later this week if no issues come up in our user testing. Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement with the feature list and wallet download.

After being on the shelf for a while as we focused on more pressing projects, we are also in the process of finishing off the web wallet. This also runs off the electrum server but only requires your web browser to run. We have been pretty close to finishing this for some time with most of the work coming piggy backing on the electrum server / android wallet release. We will keep you posted in regards to release schedules for this also.

That’s about it for the update. We have a lot of content and releases planned for the next couple of weeks, so hold on to your hats and enjoy the ride!

Talk soon,
Craig.

Currently, there have been 200,000 created for the first crowdale, plus additional tokens such as the logo contest (which came out of the reserve/partnerships category). However, not everyone has claimed their tokens from the logo contest or the initial crowdsale yet - so whenever someone finally claims them, they are added to the total.

We recently sent out this email to those who have not yet claimed their tokens:


---------------------

Good Day,

You donated to the Peerplays crowdsale a few months ago.

However, you did not redeem them.

If you go to www.peerplays.com/news you can see there are many things taking place.

It is important that you redeem your Peerplays before September 15th in order to claim them.

We have resent your original Invoice Payment Confirmation that had the subject title that included ACTION REQUIRED.

Please follow the step by step instructions in that email to secure your Peerplays.

Have a great day!

yes, you get rewards of 1 stratis each POS block you stake.. also supporting the network security.

No mining, just staking.

What is the inflation rate of Stratis?


EDIT: Oh I just saw: Just 1 Stratis per block with only 12500 blocks to be mined. After that PoS.

Stratis allows developers to create applications in C# and Microsoft's .NET framework. C# is one of the most dominant languages in corporate and financial services development.The Stratis Full Node Framework is a based on Bitcoin Core and utilizes the proven and trusted architecture and consensus model of Bitcoin.

Stratis is not just a private chain solution or even just a C#/.NET development framework. Stratis is a full scale Blockchain Development Platform that simplifies and accelerates the development life-cycle for organizations that want to develop on the blockchain.

Our lead Stratis Bitcoin Framework developer is Nicolas Dorier, he developed NBitcoin (The base for our Full node framework) which is the only cross platform implementation of Bitcoin and the most complete implementation of Bitcoin in C#. He has also authored a book on Blockchain development. Nicolas also made minor contributions to revolutionary Bitcoin Improvement proposals, such as Segregated Witness (Segwit) and OP_CSV.

So our Full Node framework is going to be developed utilizing the consensus model and core architecture of Bitcoin, by a well proven and highly talented Bitcoin developer. As we have seen with some of the recent events, code can have bugs and building financial platforms on bleeding edge tech comes with risks. We are limiting these risk for businesses by building on proven technology, while also have our own corporate identity, for businesses to purchase services there has to be some level of accountability. Stratis will provide this with the Stratis foundation.

The standard private chains will require Stratis tokens to be 'locked' as part of the 2 way peg to private chains. Stratis tokens will also be the currency utilized to pay transaction fees to miners. When we migrate to our own customed POS Stratis tokens will be used to secure the Stratis chain and the private chains.The Blockchain-as-a-Service platform will be also be fueled by Stratis tokens, users will be able to deposit digital currencies or pay via paypal and Fiat to 'credit' their account with Stratis tokens to fuel their node.Our fiat gateway technology will also charge a fee in Stratis, but note there will most likely be a fee on the fiat side also. This will be one of the centralized components of the Stratis Platform, but its the only way to have Fiat gateways and be compliant with the various regulations involved.
