In Previous news item it was told how cryptocompare had upped its article quality by having some sponsored Telos article, and now we see Bitcoinist taking the same road with their VIM3 board Telos article.
It seems TELOSNEWS.COM is being challenged by some puny publications, but clearly they are still far away from the content quality that only TELOSNEWS.COM can provide you
Cryptocompare.com have took a notch up on quality of their articles by releasing an article about Teloscoin.
Sadly it seems it takes a sponsored article to make them finally write something worth writing about, but regardless, they finally did it, they wrote something worth reading.
The article mainly tells about VIM3 boards, which all the good news medias have of course already reported about a long time ago, but it also gives some brief mentions of other Telos things, so well worth a read.
Today new trading pairs for Telos have appeared to both Bitdorado Exchange, as well as Birake Exchange. These new pairs being TELOS/BIR and TELOS/ETH.
This means that those people who have been wanting to change their Birake and Ethereum coins into Telos coins, but have so far not done it since it is so difficult to first exchange to Bitcoins and then to Telos, can now directly trade all their BIR and ETH coins for Telos coins.
Welcome aboard. Better late than never!
Yesterday I mentioned that Pascal announced in discord that Telos marketing is about to switch a gear.
And two days ago I told you about a new marketing video released about Alexandria Proof of Storage.
Today I am telling you about another video released, this time about Greenbox.
I guess this is to show that marketing gear have changed.
This Greenbox video is available from Transcendence Blockchain Linkedin Account, which in itself is bit of a news item enough to mention that such a thing exists.
Video in short tells about Greenbox in short form, pointing out you can earn money and Co2 tokens at same time, and that your Co2 tokens can be even publicly seen, which can be enticing to companies wishing to show they have some other green values too than just the color of their money.
By other words, Greenbox saves the earth, makes you the good guy, and is something that any company should get one for themselves unless they are situated in North Korea. For after all, you just compare the satellite image of South and North Korea at evening and you can notice that while others talk and have Earth Hour once a year, North Korea keeps having Earth Hour every day all day long.
Buy plenty of Greenboxes and save the earth while making my Telos value high and me filthy rich. Earth, me, and the future generations thank you.
As some of you readers are well aware of, Pascals been winning the yearly friendliest customer service award for some years in a row now without even effort.
That however might now be changing based upon his announcement in Discord where he said quite openly but not completely unmystically that “we are now starting with the opposite idea…” by which he probably referred to the latter part of the message where he said that from now on news will be shared, and new users will be invited. Which indeed haven’t been the main focus lately.
He also in his usual clear form mentioned that we will see past, present, and future releases of Telos and XBTX and other things on pages like:
Bitcoin.com (organic) , NewsBTC.com (Press releases), Bitcoinist.com (organic), Cryptocompare.com (Sponsored), ambCrypto.com (sponsored), BTCmanager.com (review article), Micky.com.au (review article), Beincrypto.com (Review article), CoinCodex.com (sponsored) , Cryptonews.com (sponsored) , u.Today (Press Release), Cryptopotato.com (Sponsored)
By other words, in all kinds of subpar cryptocontent compared to the one you are reading now.
What does he mean by the past, present, future releases, I guess we find out when those releases start coming, but my guess, he means all the products already done, currently working, and about to come.
He also mentions that more portals will be added in 5 weeks, by which I suppose he means more of similar places where Telos will be marketed, and more importantly, I guess this means we will start seeing these releases on these places soon if he plans to add more in 5 weeks already.
Anyway, what this all says to me is that if you ever intend to buy more Telos/XBTX coins, you should do so now since very very soon we might see a Telos rocket to the moon much faster than Elon Musk plans to.
Just yesterday something interesting happened, a new video was released on Twitter which was about something named Alexandria (first time I see this name) and which seems to be the many times before mentioned upcoming Proof of Storage solution coming to Telos.
Notice I have categorized this post as a rumor. Fact is, video is out, but pretty much everything else in here is drawing lines between dots in which I might be right, or then not.
Proof of Storage have been mentioned/talked many times in the past as coming to Telos, and there was even a vote regarding magnetic links to make this possible for Telos.
If I correctly understood, magnetic links idea was that instead of Telos blockchain actually storing for example a video, Blockchain would only store some sort of link to this video, and this way Telos could sort of contain videos and other big files, although in practice the blockchain itself wouldnt be storing the actual data.
Looking at the video it is also showing AML-now, which suggests that Proof of storage is connected with KYC one way or other, which sounds very interesting in sense that others have not put KYC layer to the Proof of Storage before, which means that Telos Proof of Storage is likely going to be having some unique features that other Proof of Storages don’t have.
Video also mentions with Alexandria the alternative internet to which first steps were took with the HIVE browser some time ago already.
It all sounds awfully lot like some previous Telos services are finally coming together, like AmiCould, AML-Now, Proof of Storage, Hive, and Teloscoin of course.
Interesting times ahead. Stay tuned and buy the coins while you still can, soon they might cost too much for Joey Regular to buy them anymore.
Some time ago Pascal was talking of holding an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session, like he have had before, and today he repeated about that plan asking people to send their questions to him to prepare the answers in advance.
When will this AMA session be held, is not yet told, but when Pascal originally talked about it, he was talking of possibly holding it without any advance notice by just starting it at some point when he feels like doing it.
So maybe you are online to notice it, or maybe not, but that still doesn’t prevent you from making the questions burning in your brain for it since there is AMA-channel opened in Community Discord specifically to make your questions for Pascal to answer, and naturally that AMA session will be recorded and TELOSNEWS.COM will surely post you a link to it when it is available.
Therefore, hurry up to Discord, write your questions, and wait for the answers.
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:
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!
Polispay Wallet added Bitcoin Subsidium (XBTX) as one of the supported coins already about a month ago (telosnews have lately been a bit slow at reporting news to you).
When Considering that there is currently no officially supported mobile wallet for Telos or XBTX, Polispay is a pretty good option to go to if a mobile wallet is what you are after at.
Not to mention that there is no officially supported noob-friendly option for XBTX wallet existing at all, and as exchanges are not always happy for people to use their exchange accounts as active wallets when that wallet receives continuous small income for example from mining, Polispay might well be a pretty good choice right now to be used as your Telos and XBTX wallets, both-in-one solution.
However, do keep in mind that Polispay is a third party, so they can decide whatever they decide without Telos or XBTX having any say on the matter.
