Has there been any more chatter about further MasterNode tiers? Maybe in one of the chat channels? It's not on the roadmap but I was wondering if this plan is still in the works? Is there also a closer ETA to Stratis Cold Staking?

Vis. masternode tiers, it's not a priority at the moment: right now they're concentrating on delivering the core platform. However, they certainly know that the community want lower collateral masternodes and as far as I know, they have committed to delivering 10k Strat masternodes. I know this has been said for over a year now, but we won't let up until they've been delivered.

As for the cold staking, it will be a feature of the C# Full Node, which will be coming in the next few weeks. It'll be available in the C# Full Node GUI, which is the wallet called Stratis Core (also coming this month). The only thing to bear in mind is that Cold Staking needs to be activated. So it's coming with the C# Full Node BUT it will only be available once 95% of the staking . network is staking using the C# Full Node. This is because cold staking requires a soft fork to activate and so for security reasons we need to have the significant majority of block producers using the C# Full Node client.

So the ETA depends on how quickly people migrate to the new FN.

Stratis’ C# Full Node is the foundation on top of which the other services of our platform sit.

We are very proud of our Full Node: a modular, multi-consensus, multi-chain blockchain development kit, and cannot wait for it to be unveiled this month.

Understandable, they have quite the roadmap to focus on. Hopefully lower tier masternodes will be something coming soon in 2019 then.

If Cold Staking is a part of the C# Full Node, does this also mean that this feature will not work for the Nano Ledger S? Or might this automatically work as soon as the back end at Ledger gets switched to the C# Full Node? 95% Seems like quite a high number to need to achieve for the soft fork to activate, but presumably when the Full C# Node becomes the new standard people will automatically migrate?

Yeah supporting cold staking for Ledger is up to Ledger itself. They've been good about keeping up to date with client updates in the past, so I think we'll see support for cold staking from them pretty quick off the bat. The other good thing about this is that it means Ledger users don't have to do anything besides keep up to date with updates released by Ledger themselves.

95% is high, definitely. I think there are two reasons: one is security, the network overall has fewer attack vectors if everyone uses the C# Full Node, so I think that cold staking is a good incentive to get people to move over, and the other reason is the soft fork mechanism they're using for the cold staking activation, which is BIP-9: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0009.mediawiki. BIP-9 has the threshold at 95% and it has a proven success history. So I think they've decided to stick to the precedent set by BIP-9

The Stratis Sidechains allow for bespoke blockchains pegged to the Stratis mainchain, offering improved security and scalability.

These highly customisable blockchains are made possible by our C# Full Node.

Stratis’ Turing complete Smart Contracts will be deployed to sidechains, leaving the Stratis mainchain free of bloat.

Our C# smart contracts are one of a kind: the first ever to execute .NET code on chain.

Only possible due to our powerful C# Full Node.

The Stratis Full Node is the engine that powers the Stratis blockchain network. A future-proof and environmentally sustainable consensus protocol, which uses a Proof-Of-Stake (PoS) algorithm, drives each Full Node in the network.

Regularly trying to buy more and more stratis. This is very cheap rate for this great coin.I dont want to miss the chance,So why regularly trying to buy more and more coin. Hope my new order would be fill up soon. Go stratis Go

So you want to see it going down because your orders are there I think it will create more panic situation. Stable position is really needed at this stage to find the bottom and than it could become more interesting.

An up-to-date copy of the complete Stratis blockchain is held by each Full Node, and they are also capable of supporting the Bitcoin blockchain network; Full Nodes can autonomously and authoritatively validate blocks and transactions on either network.

You can read about the Stratis Full Node on our brand new website:

The Stratis Full Node uses a protocol which is 98% similar to the Bitcoin network protocol.

The Stratis C# Full Node is available on the Azure Marketplace @Azure. It's a Blockchain Platform in .NET Core that fits perfectly with the Microsoft @microsoft environment.

Block mining is a responsibility of the Stratis Full Node. Once a new block has been assembled by the miner, an attempt is made to generate a hash for the new block using either a Proof of Stake or a Proof of Work consensus algorithm (depending on the network)

This coin is so underrated and so so cheap, We are going to see it one day on top 10 for sure...

It is very good that you decided to do this, now a lot of people are switching to Proof of Stake or Proof of Work.
