As Telos is about to conquer Turkey, one of the first steps seem to be offering a limited edition Blueboxes.

These blueboxes differ from previous ones in that while previous ones gave you Cryptos, these ones give you Euros.
Another difference is also that while previous ones were dependent upon how much Cryptos Bluebox in reality mines, these ones have a fixed income of a certain amount of Euros each month.

Following options are available in the following amounts:

Bluebox Turkuaz 1K – Costs 1 000 Euros, and will give you 2 percent (that’s 20 Euros) per month – limited to 20 boxes
Bluebox Turkuaz 3K – Costs 3 000 Euros, and will give you 3 percent (90 Euros) per month- limited to 20 boxes
Bluebox Turkuaz 10K – Costs 10 000 Euros, and will give you 4 percent (400 Euros) per month- limited to 15 boxes
Bluebox Turkuaz 30K – Costs 30 000 Euros, and will give you 5 percent (1 500 Euros) per month- limited to 30 boxes
Bluebox Turkuaz 100K – Costs 100 000 Euros, and will give you 6 percent (6 000 Euros) per month- limited to 15 boxes

Notice that these Monthly Euros are paid to Bitdorado Turkey account, so if you plan to get one, you also need Bitdorado Turkey account.

To order one of these boxes, you need to contact username Safayu99#0445 in discord, in either Turkish or English language.

And before you start sending him any money, do make sure you are talking to the right safayu99 since TELOSNEWS.COM can be read by scammers too, and what a golden opportunity here to pose as safayu99 to get your orders which are never delivered.

A couple of days ago it was announced and also already the first one held of a Piggydrop where one lucky Piggybank, Bluebox, or Greenbox owner can win 10 000 Telos, and this Raffle is currently going to be held weekly for now.

To join this Raffle requires you to first of course to own one of the Bluebox, Greenbox, or Piggybanks, for example the Virtual Piggybank I yesterday mentioned would do. Then in addition to that, you need to go to Community Discords bb Piggybank owner channel and tell that you are one of the Bluebox/Greenbox/Piggybank owners and wish to join the Piggydrop raffle, and that’s it, then you are set to once a week have a chance to win 10 000 Telos, at least for now.

Someone threw a good idea, Pascal catched it, and only a couple of days later the land of Telos has a new product for people to throw their easy or hard-earned money at.

CPU mining is its own thing, and just like with your grandfathers Bitcoin ASIC Miners, it is always a question of Power Efficiency as in Power vs Energy consumption. However, unlike in Great Grandfathers Bitcoin machines, modern day CPU coins dont aim at getting Super Computer worth of power with a dedicated Nuclear Powerplant, but it is rather a quest for minimum Energy consumption with Maximum calculation power output.

For this Raspberry Pis and the rest have always been in miners interest, and while they are making more powerful versions of these little power horses, price tends to get up a bit too.

One of the more interesting ones currently in the market is the Vim3 board, but the cost is around 150 Euros, hence making them being a bit on the expensive side of things for miners with alternatives.

However, Pascal is now going to be putting a special order of customized Vim3 boards specifically aimed at miners by stripping down all the unnecessary stuff for miners, and leaving mainly the stuff needed, and as it happens to be, this drops the price quite much, actually, all the way to make it less than 100 Euros a board already, and if more orders come, the price might drop even more.

And yes, that is the nice part, he is not ordering just for himself, but he gives a chance for anyone else to join the order too, and this way the price could drop even more if enough buyers show up.

Currently he is offering 6 different options:

Early Bird, Miner Edition, Miner XBTX Edition, Miner Teloscoin Edition, Miner NHS Edition, and Cluster Editions.

Since there is lot of confusion on discord about this offer, I like to point out first that there is only one version of the board. So regardless which Edition you buy, you will always end up getting the same customized vim3 board, and regardless of the version you buy, you will be able to do exactly same with any edition, with possibly one exception.

The first four options, Early Bird, Miner Edition, XBTX and TELOSCOIN editions are very much one and same thing, with only difference being the method of pay.

If you buy XBTX edition, you will pay with XBTX.

If you buy TELOSCOIN edition, you will pay with Teloscoin.

You buy Miner edition or early bird edition, and you will pay with something else than XBTX/TELOS, as example, with Euros.

Especially with basic Miner Edition and Early Bird edition, only difference is the price. Early Bird edition, as name suggests, is meant for those who order first, and at some point Early Bird editions will run out of stock.

By other words. You have no reason to buy regular Mining edition as long as Early Bird edition exists, unless you simply want to pay more.

With XBTX and Teloscoin editions, there is also additional perk. For these editions include a T-shirt of your choice, from Telos/XBTX T-shirts.

Therefore if you think whether to buy regular Miner Edition or XBTX/Teloscoin edition, choice is obviously XBTX/Teloscoin since price is same, yet you get T-Shirt on top. There is absolutely no reason to buy regular miner edition unless you for some reason dont want to touch XBTX/Teloscoin at all but just want to buy the machine and miss the T-Shirt.

In addition, Teloscoin Edition brings even more benefit.

First of all, you will get 3 percent discount when paying with Teloscoin, this means that except for the Early Bird and cluster options, Teloscoin Edition is the cheapest.

And better than 3 percent discount on price, is the option to have Colocation for free.

For those who dont know what colocation means, it means that you wont receive the machine home, but it will instead stay at blueboxing.net offices ran by them, and they will even pay the electricity.

By other words, you dont lose any space and on top of that the board operates for free.

You can have colocation for other editions too but it will cost 50 Euros per board for them.

To put it in other way, Teloscoin edition is the nobrainer option from these editions since it is cheapest and on top offers even free colocation option, which is actually even more saving in sense that for every other edition, on top of the price you either pay colocation price or delivery to your home price. With Teloscoin edition you can save those by picking the free colocation. And even if you for some odd reason would at some point come to conclusion that colocation is not really for you, you can at that point ask them to send it to your home and pay the delivery price that you would have otherwise had to pay already before.

So no losses but only benefits from Teloscoin edition.

In addition to these 4 before mentioned editions, there are also 2 others.

First is the NHS edition.

NHS is Pascals NoHumanS, which I am not entirely sure what exactly it means in this case since as far as I know only Pascal owns any of them and hence I dont think it means the method of payment like with the other editions, but the price is around 10k Euros, and unfortunately, I am not able to tell any more about it, except it probably has to do with Pascals bot trading system where no humans are supposed to be involved, but only AI. But why the high price etc. no clue.

Second is the Cluster Editions.

Cluster edition means that you are buying at least 100 of these boards and they all work together. This is also why this option has a bit of extra price since it will take some work to set up and needs some equipment etc. to connect them all together. However, what makes this very appealing option is the colocation option, which is actually the only option for non-Germans, taking no space from you, and on top of that, Blueboxing will even pay for the electricity, meaning that theoretically you will one day be on the winning side just because of not needing to pay the electricity.

You could also choose to pay for example 100 or 200 VIM3 boards at once and get even more discount on the price. For example, buying 200 boards at once would drop the price by about another 10 percent compared to the early bird edition price.

For those interested in more technical details, including what have been left out of the board to make it cheaper, can check more from blueboxing.net:

and here

also worth a read is this one here

And as a last thing, Pascal have said in discord that he is planning and hoping to make the order to the factory by end of this month, so you might not have even 2 weeks to make your order.
And what comes to ordering, when paying with cryptos, when you have finished your order you will receive automessage to confirm your order. After this you will have to wait until you will receive the actual invoice which will also tell you how many coins of your chosen cryptocurrency you are supposed to pay.

Notice however that if you are not using the free colocation option, then the delivery/colocation payment will be done on second step at order fulfilment part when boards actually arrive at blueboxing.net instead of at order time.

Now hurry up if you want to get this great miner deal!

Yep, Title is almost right.

Today Pascal announced that Peertoro, Bluebox, and Piggybanks won’t be sold to new customers anymore.

Notice that these will still be sold to already existing customers, just not for new ones.

However, when TELOSNEWS.COM interviewed Pascal about this decision, he did say that while this is basically so, there might come in future some Bluebox batches that might be sold to new customers too, just that the price might be bit high. So perhaps he one day sells some piggybanks too.

Other than that, unless you are one with very deep pockets, you missed your chance. There will be Greenboxes and special editions of stuff available in future for new customers too, but for example Green boxes intended price is 100k Euros.

But don’t worry, you may have missed this chance, but Bitdorado.eu is still fully open for all the customers to benefit from it.

Many times I advised you to buy some of that stuff, but did you listen?
Now there’s only one thing left to say:

ps. special thanks to mod tybiboune for donating the pictures.

If you are one of those who keep following their Blueboxes through Bluebox Dashboard at blueboxing.net, be aware that right now Blueboxes are not connected to Bluebox Dashboard, which means that Bluebox Dashboard is not showing the info about your earnings that it normally would.

The reason for this is the ongoing update to multicoin support. By other words, if your Bluebox Dashboard isn’t showing your income, you can jump and say Hooray, since that means you are now getting in addition to XBTX also some Telos with your Blueboxes.

Yes, that is right, from now on your Blueboxes will be POWing XBTX at the same time as they are running a Telos master node, meaning you will be getting both XBTX and Telos to yourself.

Notice also that due to Blueboxes and Bluebox Dashboard not being connected currently, it also means that if you update your wallet address in Bluebox Dashboard, this also will have no effect.

If you need to change your wallet address, you will have to send a ticket telling you want to change your wallet address, and to what wallet address you want to change it into.

To cut it short. Don’t follow your Bluebox earnings from Bluebox Dashboard, but follow them by looking at them directly from your wallet.

And when will this update be complete and dashboard working again, have at this point not been publicly told yet, but might take a while since according to Pascals talks there is going to be even more updating in the plan which will give people better control over their Blueboxes and what they are doing.

Time is a bit tight, so you have to react very fast, but there are two blueboxes going to be given by random to people who are willing to do something little.

The first one will be given at today’s Kryptofriday that have already started streaming when this update is published.

In Todays kryptofriday, one Bluebox is given, on what condition is a bit unclear. Basically original announcement by Pascal mentions watching, sharing and liking – as in probably the kryptofriday stream?
However, Kryptofriday’s own announcement doesn’t mention anything about the condition upon which winner is picked. All Kryptofriday says is that it is going to be done live, one hour later from start of kryptofriday, which in practice means, one hour from now since Kryptofriday stream already started.

So my best guess is, if you go and follow the livestream, they either give more instructions, or then it is given to one of those simply watching it, so want to have a chance to earn 1000 Euros by watching a one-hour live stream? Today’s your chance for that.

However, if you are reading this too late already, then don’t worry, since there is also another box given tomorrow on a different condition.

This has to do with Bitdorado promotion.

About two weeks ago Bitdorado promised to give two blueboxes away randomly for people who Follow / Retweet / Like this tweet from bitdorado about that competition, and last Saturday first bluebox was given to a lucky random pick winner, and tomorrow the second box will be given.

So go now to that tweet couple lines above and Follow the account, Retweet the tweet, and like it, to get included on tomorrow’s random pick. So far looks like only around 50 people had done so, so chances to win a thousand are amazingly good compared to the usual probability in these kinds of things.

Hop hop to Kryptofriday stream to win the bluebox dream!

Here is something very interesting. If you haven’t noticed it before, in Telos land there is this extended warranty thing called Blockinsure.me available to buy. This will protect you in the case if for example one of your Blueboxes decides to break.

To make buying Blockinsure.me even more attractive than before, there is now an upgrade attached to the blockinsure.me deal.

If you have a Blueboxes, then you can buy Blockinsure.me deal and get them upgraded.

Buy a basic membership and you can get 1-10 Blueboxes upgraded to Bitdorado edition. Buy Gold membership and you can get 10-30 Blueboxes upgraded. more than that, buy a Platinum Membership and get them upgraded.

Upgrading these Blueboxes to Bitdorado editions means that your Blueboxes will become premium members of Bitdorado.

Do notice that there is a difference between you yourself or your Bluebox being a premium member of Bitdorado, with you yourself as a premium member being the better option, except, you can only get one premium membership for yourself while to Blueboxes you can get an endless amount of them as long as you have Blueboxes to make become a premium member.

I do plan to write more extensively at some point about Bitdorado premium membership and what it means, but for now, know it is a good thing and worth seeking after for.

As reported in earlier article about XBTX mining power being available from Peertoro, there is now a new option for Blueboxes to add to their mining power, the Afterburner boost.

Bluebox owners are offered an option for one Afterburner boost per bluebox they own, and this boost can be chosen to be between 4 Mh/s – 50 Mh/s, the latter being more expensive option naturally, but good thing is that you can also first start by buying 4 Mh/s and then at later point upgrade it to higher speed versions.

Prices start from 378 Euros (+ German VAT), but you also can get a 30 percent discount when paying with Telos. XBTX is naturally an acceptable payment option as well, but you won’t get the 30 percent discount with XBTX.

From Peertoro you can order the same 4 Mh/s for roughly 45 000 Telos, so we are talking of about the same price either one you use, but there is one notable difference between Peertoro and Afterburner option. For while Peertoro is a lifetime deal with a condition, Afterburner option, on the other hand, is a lifetime deal, that even if Afterburner would make only very little, you would still get to keep it.

Also, I suppose because of Afterburners, Peertoro offers have significantly changed. Before the 4 Mh/s version was pretty much the ultimate version already with a price tag of several thousand Euros if I correctly recall, now 4 Mh/s version is the minimum offer, but with only that 45 000 TELOS price.

Before there were offers starting from 10 Kh/s and if you happened to be one of the lucky ones to have bought that, you are now being upgraded to 4 Mh/s version free of charge. Talk about a good deal those who bought that one, I personally skipped that one having part of a xMiner from YourBrainOnBlockChain deal, but it seems I should have taken it after all…

As I told in a previous news item about Alejandro Finol Telos related article, I told TELOSNEWS.COM would tell you when he writes more and that moment ladies and gentlemen have now happened.

In his second article about Transcendence/Telos/XBTX, he is telling about Blueboxes. Not a bad pick of choice to explain.

Read it either from:

Steemit

or Medium

The price of bluebox has gone up and for a reason. Or actually, with the latest Telos prices, the price of Bluebox might have even gone down, depending on how you look at it.

Reason for the higher price for new Blueboxes nowadays is because they will be hosting 2 x 100k Telos nodes by default.

Current price for a bluebox, as time of writing this, is shown as 1 690 Euros, which makes me think that with current price of Telos coins it seems to me like the price of Blueboxes went down rather than up, for while you do need to pay more to get the bluebox for yourself from now on, buying those 200 000 Telos coins is not very cheap nowadays, making the price of the bluebox itself somewhat low.

Add to this the possibly coming points system mentioned in this news item, and one can wonder where is the price of Bluebox there anymore.

So far Pascal have manually been processing all the payments. When you ordered something, he would give send you an exact invoice. Similarly, if you had Rented some service, he would each month send you a new invoice.

This, however, consumes a lot of time as you can imagine, and in an effort to save some time, these are now changing into the Do-It-Yourself system.

From now on, when you buy anything from either Blueboxing.net or form Peertoro.eu, you are not supposed to wait for the invoice anymore, but instead, when you order your product, you are supposed to check from Coinmarketcap the current value of Telos or XBTX, and send the equivalent amount of Telos/XBTX to cover the bought.

And do notice, you are not supposed to cut the possible 30 percent discount from this price but just pay the full price, and you will get this 30 percent discount as a cashback at a later point.

Another change will be in Rentals. So far you have been sent an invoice once a month to continue your rentals, from now on you need to take care of yourself to pay the rental price each month.

Every now and then Pascal will look through his rental deals, and if he notices you haven’t paid that months rental, then he assumes you have wished to cancel your deal and he will shut down the deal.

This change does not however affect those who have bought (not rented, but bought) blueboxes in several payment installments, these customers will still get invoiced as before.

However, do notice that to save time from sending invoices to these customers too, Pascal have now withdrawn this offer from new customers. So old customers will still get their Bluebox payments as usual, but no more new ones will be sold with that offer anymore. Now you either buy the box full, or you don’t.

If you don’t like this new system but would rather still get invoiced before paying, you can check what YourBrainOnBlochChain offers, after all, they are the alternative to ordering from Blueboxing.net or Peertoro.eu.

In an attempt to get Transcendence/Telos/XBTX more decentralized, Pascal has now made a decision that he won’t offer Rental purchase option for Blueboxes or xMiners anymore, this is simply because Rental options were kept in co-location, and co-location is not a wished option anymore as right now this co-location option has resulted in that most Telos nodes, for example, reside in same physical location. Give a well-targeted Hurricane or two, and most of the network could be down.

In an effort to physically decentralize the network, and hence make it more secure, Co-Location is now reserved only for those who are paying their Blueboxes/xMiners in full.

Also, the price of Co-Location for new customers is likely to go up as well.

In another attempt to decentralize blueboxes, Pascal is now working on a new scoring system to blueboxes, which is actually good for all of us who own them.

His first thought is that each box would get more points each month, depending on age, co-location, and warranty.

First suggestion from Pascal was that each month would gain 10 points to a bluebox, regardless of where it is. So 3 months old bluebox would be worth 30 points in total, while 5 months old bluebox would be worth 50 points in total.

However, in addition to aging, making older be worth more, if bluebox resides at home instead of co-location, it would get another 10 points each month, in previous example, 3 months old bluebox at home would be worth a total of 60 points, while 5 months old bluebox at home would be worth 100 points in total.

And as last would be a warranty. If you have bought Telos Warranty, then your blueboxes would accumulate an additional 10 points more.

The idea with these points is that every time box would accumulate 120 points, they would receive another 30k Telos node in them, paid by the company. Notice however that in this case collateral would also belong to the company, but who cares as long as the profits are anyway coming to you as usual.

In other words, a bluebox in co-location could in this model be getting a new 30k node for free only once a year, while bluebox at home with a warranty could get a new free 30k node every four months.

That is pretty much an incentive there to get your blueboxes running at home instead of keeping them at Co-Location.

Do you think the Points system is good? Or should it perhaps be different?

You can join the Discord Channel and discuss about it, as this was just the suggestion Pascal made and he was asking for feedback about it.

Peertroro.eu now has two new rental offers.

Rent-a-xMiner for a month and rent-a-bluebox special.

To start with the simpler one, you can now rent Xminer for a month (30 days) for 297 500 Telos Coins.

Sounds pretty harsh, but then again, Pascals test was showing 32 000 Euros (he originally erroneously talked of a 3 200 Euros) of a profit in a month if Xminer be running alone. Now I am pretty sure that won’t be the case but let’s say there be 10 Xminers running and you would still be making a pretty nice profit there with this deal.

The more complex deal, however, is Bluebox Rental Special which was announced in a discord announcement by Pascal that left lots of questions to be asked, and which are not really answered in Bluebox Rental Specials own page in Peertoro either:

But fear not, for TELOSNEWS.COM is here to explain what this deal is.

You start by paying 124 950 Telos Coins, and you get a Bluebox Rental Special + option for one 100k Telos Node (notice the word “option”, I will get back to that later)

From this point on, you don’t necessarily have to pay anything anymore, but you can just keep it as it is.

However, you can pay once a month another 124 950 Telos, and there are two reasons why you might want to do that.

First is that each time you pay (but it is optional if you want to or not), you will get an option for another 100k Telos node.

Second is that If you don’t pay, you do get to keep the machine just like it is, except there is one condition for you to keep it: It must make enough profit that 20 percent of that income will cover 5 Euros a month of hosting cost. In other words – it must make at least 25 Euros of profit a month.

In case that machine doesn’t make enough profit in a month, that it makes for example only 20 Euros of profit, in that case, Peertoro will take that machine back to themselves and keep all the profits.

What does this second option have to do with you perhaps wanting to pay the monthly optional fee is because more Telos nodes you have, more unlikely it is that your bluebox would make less than that 25 Euros of profit. As Pascal put it, get 2-3 nodes and it will probably work forever.

So you don’t have to pay those monthly fees, but then you won’t get more 100k Telos Nodes either, and then the risk of making less than 25 Euros in a month and therefore losing a box is higher.

To get back to that word that you are getting “options” for 100k Telos Nodes.

This word is used since right now when you rent Bluebox Special, you are actually not getting any nodes, but you are getting 100k worth of Telos Coins stored for you in case you wish to set up a node in the future.

This is because right now Bluebox Rental Special is only able to mine XBTX, and it will only later be upgraded into being able to both mine and host nodes, at which point those “optional” nodes will be added to your Bluebox Rental Special.

Also, if you decide to pay enough many times that you reach the Bluebox maximum of 64 Nodes, then you will next time get another Bluebox Rental Special for yourself.

Notice something important. This Bluebox Rental Special deal is different from previous Blueboxing.net Rental deal in that in previous deal you would get to keep the boxes after 15 months of payments, but with Peertoros Bluebox Rental Special, you will never own the boxes, but they will always be on rental with you, with the condition that they have to make that 25 Euros of profit a month, or you will lose them back to Peertoro.

Is this a good deal then? That depends.

On one hand, yes, on the old deal you do get to keep the boxes eventually, but then again, with this one, you can simply pay just that 125k and take a risk of losing it some point and if you don’t lose it ever, then this was much cheaper than the other box.

For if you compare the other boxes price and this one, then basically due to getting 100k Telos node with each 125k payment, you are actually paying only 25k each month you decide to pay. So lets say you decide to pay 3 times in total, then you basically paid only 75k in total from your Bluebox Rental Special, and if that is enough to keep it going on forever, then that was a pretty good deal indeed if mining and running Telos Nodes is all you plan to do with it.

On the other hand you can question if it makes sense to buy much of those nodes, when you could instead of paying 125k, pay just 90k to get 90% of a 100k Master Node through Peertoros 90 percent node offer, which I still think is a no-brainer and I still don’t understand why anyone is anymore putting up 100k nodes up themselves, when they could just buy that one for cheaper price and get a lifetime hosting on top of that.

All in all, I would say it boils down to three differences:

1. Blueboxing.net rental deal gives you more flexibility in using it and makes you own the box at some point, but you need to pay every month or lose it until full payment is complete.
2. Peertoros Bluebox Rental Special, as long you don’t plan to set up more than a couple of those 100k nodes, this will be much cheaper option to enter into Blueboxing and XBTX mining, but there is the risk of you losing it if profits drop, and more nodes you add, pricier it becomes compared to blueboxing.net rental offer, but then again, you can choose when you want to pay and when not, which is great flexibility in paying when you can pay or not pay, whenever you feel like it.
3. Peertoros 90 percent node offer is a no-brainer, there is no need to think if it is worth it. If you are planning on getting yourself just a Telos Node, then this is the way to do it.
   However, when comparing to Blueboxes, this is not so clear a situation, since while Peertoro is cheapest and a no-brainer, it doesn’t have the option to mine XBTX, nor does it have the option to host other nodes. Peertoros 90 percent offer is great, but it is very limited compared to what blueboxes can offer.

I would boil it down to:

Cheap Telos Node – Peertoro 90 percent deal

Cheap Mining with a risk – Peertoro Bluebox Rental Special

Most flexibility in usage and planning on hosting to the maximum – Blueboxing.net Rental deal.

Regardless of which one you pick, they are all good offers.

Some changes are about to come to Blueboxes, mainly affecting the future Blueboxes, not so much the current ones.

First of all, the price of the co-location service is about to go up from 10 Eur pricing to 30 Euros.

That is still not much, since, after all, you are getting free electricity, maintenance and all, not to mention that might well be that just sending that Bluebox to your house could cost more than that, so still dirt cheap, no change in there.

Another change coming is that if you pay your order with Telos, you will get 30 percent discount on the price of a Bluebox, this, however, does not apply to the rental deals, only if you buy the box straight away. This actually makes the difference between rental and direct buy go quite much bigger now, as before you were basically paying roughly 20+ percent extra, while now you would be paying about 50 percent extra using rental compared to direct buy with Telos.

There is slight unclarity in the announcement, but as far as I recall this has been talked before too, and therefore not just future Blueboxes, but all Blueboxes, even the already existing ones, will get access to so-called Bluepool.

So far Bitcoins Subsidium has been mined individually by each Bluebox, but in future this mining will be done through a pool called Bluepool. Then every box will get an equal share of mining rewards.

This is however not all. As you should be aware by now if you been reading previous articles in TELOSNEWS.COM, xminers are about to come and make blueboxes efforts quite ridiculous compared to them as one xminer mines Bitcoin Subsidium with the same speed as 320 Blueboxes was Pascals estimation.

Does this mean there is no point in mining with Blueboxes anymore? No. Because Bluepool will have so-called bubble miners, which will be having roughly 20 percent of the total Bluepools mining power, and this 20 percent is divided equally between all devices. So no matter if you are using more or less powerful miner, you will be getting an equal share from that 20 percent.

Yes, this does mean drop to 1/5th of what you are getting during current pre-mine since right now 100 percent is shared between blueboxes, although independently, but it is still quite nice that they are taking care of the small ones too and even in future giving a decent share to small ones, which in this case are blueboxes, as well.

Since people have naturally been asking about how much rewards a bluebox gets, the rewards page has been updated as well.

And regarding rewards, you will be able to affect the amount a bit as starting from next batch you can order more nodes to your Blueboxes, up to 64 with full-on nodes or 32 if using 50/50 split between nodes and mining. Notice however that this option is available only if you pay your Bluebox with Telos, meaning it isn’t available through the rental deal.

There is now a cross-promotion offer available through Masternodestats.

If you buy a listing to Masternodestats with 1 Million Telos, then by paying an additional amount of 10 new coins nodes worth of new coins, you will, in addition, get a listing to both Peertoro and Bluebox .

When considering that a normal price to get yourself listed to Peertoro and Bluebox is 3 000 Euros (or 1 500 Euros worth of Telos), then this is not a bad deal at all and is pretty nice discount especially for new coins which still have a cheap node cost usually.

However, if you don’t wish to pay to get your coin listed to masternodestats, you can still submit your coin for voting as usual, but then you will miss the cross-promotion offer.

Bluebox update to Firmware2.0 should be going on right now.

This update will bring Allanons latest dashboard to blueboxes which will take payout addresses that user have given to the dashboard. This applies to Telos and XBTX as well as any future coins that will be added to Blueboxes.

This means that while payments have so far been processed manually, from this point on, payments will happen automatically to these before mentioned addresses.

However, notice that if you haven’t given for example Bitcoin Subsidium (XBTX) payment address yet, you need to give one by logging in to your user account at https://portal.blueboxing.net and updating it in “profile” section where the wallet is asked at. Oh, and make sure there are no empty spaces, neither in front, after, or even at the middle of the address, otherwise current system won’t recognize it as a wallet address.

In addition, user can choose a payment threshold, as for example 10 XBTX, which means that when bluebox have made 10 XBTX, then this amount will automatically be paid to the given address – minus the 20 percent fee to the company. By other words, it will be a somewhat familiar system to those who in their past used those ancient technology bitcoin mining pools.

As already mentioned, updating is already in process, and this takes no extra effort from users, but the update will be handled by the company.

First will be updated blueboxes of users who are planning to pay their standing orders using XBTX. After these customers Bluebox update have been handled, next blueboxes will be updated according to their serial number order, which in practice means that earlier you bought your bluebox, sooner your bluebox will be updated.

Dev however promised that if someone is in urgent need of their XBTX to buy a new kidney, he can in that case move that ones bluebox update up in the list.

New blueboxes that have not been delivered yet, will automatically have firmware2.0 on them from now on.

In this same announcement Dev also mentioned that while Running Telos master nodes on bluebox at home you need at least 10 Mbps Upload speed, mining Bitcoin Subsidium (XBTX) will however take much less. For XBTX mining you will only need 10 Kbs download and 60 Kbps upload speed. So if you having trouble with internet connection speed, then the option to fully mine XBTX only is the way to go currently.

Dev has just today announced some upcoming changes to Blueboxes among with other info.

Manual Bluebox payments have been delayed. This is due to Dev having concentrated on testing automatic XBTX payment to get it out for all of us.

Payments of existing invoiced orders for new Blueboxes need to be done by tomorrow 16:00 German time or order will be canceled. This, however, applies only to new customers. If you were planning to pay with already mined XBTX, you will not need to worry, they will be accepted later too.

As people have been asking about the possibility to add their own Telos to Blueboxes to get more nodes, this is becoming possible starting next week.

However, due to automated setting up process, upgrading existing nodes would take too much work, therefore additional Telos will be used to set up new nodes to Blueboxes instead of upgrading existing ones. Take this into account people when planning on using Telos for more nodes to Blueboxes.

Another new feature will be a dual Mining possibility. This means you have basically three options for your bluebox machine:

1. It can be fully mining XBTX
2. It can be fully hosting Master Nodes (64 nodes in total at max currently)
3. It can be 50/50 mining XBTX and hosting master nodes. In this case mining power will be only half the usual power and maximum amount of nodes that can be hosted in the dual system are only 32 Nodes, which currently, however, is more than enough, so in practice you have only two sensible options, option 1 or 3.

There was also a mention about making a Miner Module being in consideration. This is the same thing that was already mentioned in an article about gamescom rumors two days ago.

Some additional details were given. a Mention of Dev having been shown 2W FPGA that he thinks would work for this purpose, as well as a mention that this miner module will not be here anytime soon, but waiting should be calculated rather in months than in weeks.

This miner module would likely be fitted into Pro models by putting the miner module instead of a Harddrive, or alternatively, through a USB dongle.

As a last thing was a mention of Birake wallet going to be working with Blueboxes same way as Telos wallet currently works. But that another announcement about this will come during next week. You can be sure TELOSNEWS.COM will write more about this after the mentioned announcement is made first.

Enjoy your Blueboxes and don’t forget to pay your orders if you already haven’t!

New Dashboard version for the public was finally released and it can be downloaded from Github link.

There are a couple of changes in this version, one of the major, although not so visible to a common user is that all the tx databases are now being converted into SQLite databases. This in short means that things should work better, as in faster and more stable.

There is also one peak into the future feature in this since in this version there is now in the menu an option called “Oldtimers NFT”. While it is in the menu, and you can go and check about it, it is, however, not for real there yet.

I guess partially for the needs of this OldTimers NFT option, there is now also some messaging systems in dashboard.

There is an announcement system so that Transcendence can send messages, for example, to inform about new Dashboard version releases. And there is also some private messaging system. I suppose this is to make it easier to ask about some specific NFT cards between potential buyer and a seller as an example.

XBTX Miner is another new option in Dashboard Menus, but nothing has been told about it, and when clicking, it is talking about Linux, so this is probably meant only for, maybe Bluebox 2 owners or something, and might not have any use for a common user in a wrong computer environment.

Quite much new stuff basically, although still looks like very much in a beginning, but this is a huge step forward in seeing Pascal’s vision about what he is after with the Dashboard, and with less imagination than last time, you can see how this can become a pretty useful all-in-one app for crypto users.

Notice that I have categorized this article as a rumour, this is due to Pascal often changing his mind very fast, and I guess Paracoin details are not really set to stone. So basically this is official how it is going to be but prepare for a change of mind still.

During his holiday that he originally announced of having started from about 14th of December until the end of the year, on last day of last year he gave an announcement regarding Para coin.

In announcement he said that paracoin will come in two weeks time, that be roughly no later than the 14th of January. Notice that this is probably different from “two weeks later” which can mean any time between now and the second coming of Christ.

Master node collaterals for paracoin would be 100, 300, 1000, 3000, 10 000, making it very much affordable for most people supposing coins price be around the same as Teloscoin currently is.

He is also hinting in his announcement that Bluebox Telos master nodes might be replaced with Paracoin master nodes since Telos master nodes are about to be history after Telos changes to full POS coin, which in my guess will happen soon after the Paracoin fork is done first. This order of first Paracoin fork, then Teloscoin full POS fork, would be due to practical reasons I guess.

Each Paracoin Block would yield 1000 new coins until the first halving happens around July 22, and there will be a superblock of 300 000 para coins once every 30 days for the lucky one who gets it. Will halving also affect the size of the superblock is not told.

It is not said how often new blocks come, but I suppose it would be the same as Teloscoin – once per minute, in which case the amount of Paracoins would practically more than double by the time of halving, and halving taken into consideration, amount of Paracoins would about triple by the end of the first year.

If this halving continues the same way the next year, then at the end of the second year there will only be roughly 35 percent more coins compared to the end of the first year. So the first year is the time of high inflation and time to grab them coins as much as you can, while the second year will be much more stable already compared to the first one.

As a final reminder, I repeat the same as in the previous news item about Paracoin: You can already buy Paracoins by buying Teloscoins since Paracoin is going to be a fork of a Teloscoin. This means that as many Teloscoins you have at that moment, you will also have Paracoins the same amount.

As an example, if you have 100K Teloscoins at the moment of the fork, then after the fork you will have 100k Teloscoins, and 100K Paracoins.

And to clarify just in case; Teloscoin is not going anywhere, both Teloscoin and Paracoin will exist at the same time, hence having Teloscoins at the time of the fork will only be good for you since you will have both Teloscoins and Paracoins.

In addition, after the previous article, Pascal has confirmed that Bitdorado Turkey will support Paracoin fork. Rest of the place’s situation is the same as told in the previous article.

So go and buy those Teloscoins now already to get some Paracoins in addition to your Teloscoins and lift the Teloscoins price up!
