Lucky Sevens Monday article this time wraps up quite nicely the latest progress and things that are about to happen in Transcendence/Telos world.
To read it, check any of the below links:
As reported earlier, Pascal was in the Malta Blockchain summit.
From this meeting, Pascal have already talked about some things, and here’s the summary:
Pascal have now made some new friends all the way between US and Dubai.
Then there is some IEO token based on ETH-XBTX about to become that will be released on Bitdorado. Since things are still kept a secret regarding this token, TELOSNEWS.COM doesn’t have anything else to tell you about that topic.
If I understood right, Pascal is actively looking at the possibility to whitelabel nodes in the network so that without permission you couldn’t be running nodes. Will this be the future of Telos/XBTX, I suppose the future will show and will also be up to voting. Regardless, It seems Pascal is already starting with Birake DEX White labeling although fork of Bitshare is already in the works, and with some extra unspecified surprise to it.
Pascal also mentioned some coins that he is planning to integrate into Telos, as long as these coins are willing to. Idea is that these coins have only one use case which is same that Telos already have as a use case too. Therefore it would make sense for them to instead of running their own use-case to join forces with Telos and have a chance to expand to much further than their single-use case allows them. He mentioned three coins specifically: Aliencoin, abay, atube.
Pascal also mentioned having talked with several agents, most of whom worked with multiple exchanges, and he’s eye got especially caught on www.biki.com, which seems to have a good amount of trading going on there. Will this soon be a new exchange for Telos, I guess we will soon find that out, or if not, then after a long time of wait we realize it.
Pascal had also met with Wirex, and while listing seemed possible, it did seem too expensive to do at this moment but worry not, Pascal already had a plan on how to target towards listing in unspecified future time.
It also seems he is convinced that in the next convention he will be ripping BSV into pieces by showing Telos use cases and the next thing to check next is Dubai as he has some friends there.
Ios Wallet is about to be free and is right now waiting for Apples approval due to their new updates again.
And as the last thing. The final Model of Bluephone should already be waiting to be cleared from customs. Might not be that long anymore that we have a chance to get one.
And part 3 of the interview happened last night, this time they talked about Piggy Bank, Tangent TELOS Cards, Greenbox and after those also mentioned governance.rocks and a bluephone a bit. Video also shows what was known already long before, that even Dev follows TELOSNEWS.COM to keep himself up-to-date on what is happening with his projects.
Now my Germany is really failing me when it comes to the competition they are running there. You can check the rules to attend the competition from first parts video, but as far as I misunderstood, winner was supposed to be told in next video, or in this last video, which it obviously wasn’t since competition is still going and as far as I misunderstood it, it would be announced on next video, which puzzles me greatly since I don’t think they mentioned anything about more videos coming, unless they perhaps mean they are planning to make an English version of the same three-part video, which I saw as a rumor at one point.
So who knows, maybe we will still today see part 1 of English-language version of the same?
Anyway, if you are not speaking German, you can check instructions from this earlier article on how to turn on Youtubes about decedent auto-translator, which didn’t help me figure out when the competition winner will be announced.
As the title says, there is now a DevBlog at Bluephone website.
If you want to read more and faster about Bluephone than you could even from TELOSNEWS.COM, then perhaps keep an eye on it.
Right now there is only one blog post there.
Looks like it is time to start considering changing TELOSNEWS.COM to BLUEPHONENEWS.COM instead with all these Bluephone related news coming lately.
Lucky Seven have released his usual monday article for all you to enjoy reading it again.
And article is all about Bluephone, with lots of details that Bluephone articles have left out mainly since they havent been confirmed.
Anyway, you can see a lot of hardware specifications and explanation of for example Mesh Network which TELOSNEWS.COM completely forgot to mention. Seems there is use to read something else too than just this.
hop hop and get on reading already:
Interestingly, we saw today an announcement from YourBrainOnBlockchain that Developer Edition of Bluephone is now available for pre-order.
YourBrainOnBlockchain itself is something TELOSNEWS.COM might dig out further and introduce to you one day, but for now, know that YourBrainOnBlockChain is supposed to be a centralised place to buy all things Telos, and lately it seems there been a lot of building happening like TELOSNEWS.COM news items have been released on YourBrainOnBlockChain-blog as well.
Since this is the first time an announcement was made by them, and of all things it was about bluephone, it might mean something.
Bluephone, as the name suggests, is a Mobile phone. Now why on earth do we need another one of those? That is because neither Google play store nor Apple store lets you release any master node running software.
Since mobiles are usually 24 hours a day turned on and connected to the internet, they would be a quite working solution for running a master node.
Now how to solve this problem?
By releasing your own mobile with Aeros as its operating system. No google play store nor apple store restrictions and people can finally get to run their nodes on the go and earn money to buy the next model when it comes out. So in the best case you buy one phone and keep buying all your phones in future with profits, get your phone bills paid and even earn some extra on top of that. Now talk of a good deal in here!
Current pre order pricing has two different prices.
699 Euros from YourBrainOnBlockChain, or 238 000 Telos from Bluephone.biz
With current Telos price that is around 800-900 Euros, so YourBrainOnBlockChains offer is pretty good, especially when taking into consideration that they have even price guarantee – If final price be lower, the overpayment will be returned, if higher, then you can choose to cancel your order or send the missing amount.
As of now, hardware specifications, and I suppose final price, is not known, since it havent been decided yet, there however should be couple of different options to choose from available in the end.
If the price sounds high, keep in mind that this price should include 100 000 Telos node in it, which alone is worth 400 Euros in the current market price.
All in phone, including nodes, however, might still change before the final release.
Quite a lot of talk have been happening on background that has not been news item worthy, mainly because they have not been official, yet something TELOSNEWS.COM readers will probably be interested anyway, hence this Rumors article. Nothing you read here is official unless otherwise stated, and these might, or might not happen. As of now, they are just rumors.
It is official that Bluephone is coming, however, as they have not been available to buy yet and exact details have been missing, TELOSNEWS.COM have therefore refrained from making a news item about it.
Bluephone, in short, is going to be a mobile phone. Okay, so do we need yet another mobile phone? Well, both Android and Applestore prohibit releasing master node running things. As Dev happens to have his own operating system Aeros, he is now in a position to make a phone which will be running a master node on the background. Mobile phones nowadays are anyway on and connected to the internet, usually 24 hours a day, so why not use it to run a masternode and let the mobile pay its price back and make even profit to have money to buy the next one.
Bluephone was originally supposed to be higher priced since the first run was going to be sort of a test run to those interested until the real consumer-run would come at some point in future which would be cheaper.
However, since HuobiGlobal Exchange has now talked of a plan to make a similar idea phone as Bluephone, Dev has revised his plan and is now planning to at least match Huobiglobals price.
Will this new pricing affect the original plan of including a 100k Telos node with each phone, that remains to be seen.
And how tight a fight are we going to get here, remains to be seen too. However, so far Dev has been commenting that what Huobiglobal have released details about their phone don’t yet match that of Bluephones, so at least currently we seem to be ahead of the game.
Yesterday Dev went on to meet with Transcendence Associates, to be more specific, board member of the coming exchange and YourBrainOnBlockChain partner.
Lots of things were discussed, among these even of a third coin for Transcendence Network.
The idea behind this third coin is very practical. HINT has released an AML4.0 standard, and as it happens to be, Dev already has talked about his VAN-player in 2015 (item 5), which has a codec that in his opinion is the best match for AML4.0 standard currently existing.
VAN can play Vector ANimation, which means that it can save for example Videos in Vector format making it take less space than current video streaming systems and it is completely lossless format in addition meaning that you can have an unlimited amount of resolution and zoom without it becoming a pixel mess.
This third coins main point seems to be in having blockchain for these videos. Basically Dev said coin would be similar to Civic, but more sophisticated, especially on video storage part.
Coins fundamentals would be different from the previous two (that be Telos and Subsidium). This time “mining” wouldnt be open, but you could buy nodes (perhaps through peertoro?) and earn revenue shares. There would also not be any fixed rewards amount.
Dev is planning to ask for EU fund for developing this third coin as it is the closest thing to AML4.0 standard currently, so I guess depending upon how goes with the EU funding, will also depend upon how fast we will hear more about this third coin possibility.
In addition to meeting with Transcendence Associates, they also made a call to Dach coin, and there was talk about a merge. I guess we might hear about this in the near future more, supposing it does happen. Part of the talk was about what will happen to DachExchange in case of a merge, whether it stays or not, and for how long.
While mainly the discussion was of a less concrete in nature about Bitdorado Exchange and other things, there was however one concrete decision too, which was to release a Greenbox. What this is, and what does it do, your guess is as good as mine. However, a hint is that Dev mentioned about CO2 certificate. So that plus the name, it probably has something to do with the environment.
There was also talk about using Bounties to encourage people to join Telos kiva.org team.
Kiva is an organization where you can loan people as little money as just 25 USD, and it will make a big difference to their life in making them be able to put up a business to earn their living, and in best case even get a growing business that will give living to more than just the one you originally loaned the money to. Not only is this very small money for most us, but you are even likely getting it back, in which case you can use it to change another one’s life again.
Short mention was that there was talk about marketing/fairs, nothing concrete mentioned about them but I guess we can expect more Gamescom kind of things to happen, which resulted in nice amount of things that you can read about in my previous rumors article regarding Gamescom.
And last was also a talk about new whitepapers. Not that I am personally that interested in them, but if you been waiting for updated ones, then perhaps they are coming too. Anyway, quite many seem to have it as a criterion that if no whitepaper, they don’t even dig any further, so perhaps it is good to have updated ones.
