Biki.com has officially announced, for example through their Medium account, that they have now listed Telos to their Exchange.
This deal is one of the fruits from Malta AI & Blockchain Summit Pascal visited earlier this year as was told by TELOSNEWS.COM earlier to you.
Biki.com is one of the bigger exchanges as you can see from coinmarketcap page about them and also shows signs of becoming even bigger. For many it might be surprising to hear this since most have not heard about them yet. But this is because Biki have concentrated on Asian market so far, although lately it seems they are starting to expand their user base towards rest of the world too.
You can already deposit Telos in there, but actual Trading wont start until 3 days later on 30th day at which point it will be possible to do trading between TELOS/USDT.
Announcement is well worth a read since it gives a nice short introduction to Telos including some never before seen comments from Pascal, as well as has a nice list of links that you can use to start following Biki.com.
Despite it being the Christmas the very next day, Lucky Seven still delivered the Monday Article.
This Monday article deals with the new Transcendence Roadmap for 2020.
Basically TELOSNEWS.COM have told you about this too, but especially at bottom of article, Lucky Seven have nicely put all the text on roadmap for a quick and easy read.
We now have one article about Telos in French language.
The CoinTribune released an article about greenbox in their web publication. Is this a result of a before in TELOSNEWS.COM mentioned Cointelegraph greenbox article, that would be our guess, but regardless, at least as far as I recall and know, this is also the first French language article about Telos.
If you know your french, head on to The CoinTribune to read it, and if you don’t, google translate does a fairly good job from French to English.
Cryptocanary is a website where users can review Crypto Currencies, and username “bullish“, who already have reviewed 10 coins has now made a human review of Telos in there.
In yesterday’s news item about Bitcoin Subsidium mining becoming public I was commenting that we will see in future if Difficulty to mine will go up or not. Well, that future didn’t take long as based upon the amount of hash rate already there and having been increasing all the time throughout the day, doubling several times already, it is obvious difficulty will increase a lot, and fast too.
To underline this, it was less than an hour ago we noticed a message on discord about, as far as we know, the first public Bitcoin Subsidium pool.
Yes, Bluepool been existing for some time already, but it is not public as not anyone can just point to it and join it, but you need permission, controlled by Pascal, to join it.
But suitably domain named xbtx.eu is now available for anyone to join and point their machines at, although I would have preferred them to add “pool” to their name since perhaps xbtx.eu could be needed for some sort of info page one day.
For a long time I have been longing for a video to introduce people I know to Telos since it is a bit difficult to explain shortly.
As I saw this Bitcoin For Beginners Youtuber, I liked how he was able to explain other coins very well, and as he’s price was reasonable compared to others I asked from, I paid him to make one.
And here is the result, and not bad at all!
Keep spreading this video and show it to your friends to introduce them a bit about Telos. It is quite impossible to tell everything about Telos and lots of use cases are missing due to that, but this will work as a nice way to introduce Telos to people. At least I will be linking this to a couple of friends right away – You do the same.
In case you need an easy to copy-paste link to this video:
Since Bitcoin Subsidium (XBTX) mining is now open for anyone to do, Windows wallet has now been released as Pascal had already told us he would do when XBTX becomes public.
So far you could have only mined Bitcoin Subsidium if you had permission from Pascal, but as already announced before, Yesterday, 20th of December, changed that and now Bitcoin Subsidium has finally been publically released and anyone with any equipment can mine it themselves.
Will be seen in future if difficulty to mine will increase or if people decide to stay with Blueboxes, xMiners, and others offered by Pascal.
Anyway, If you like, you can now point even your regular home computer to CPU mining XBTX, although I’m not sure that makes any sense.
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.
Bitcoin goes down and now we see the real Altcoins that are not tied to Bitcoins success. Just look at Masternode.Buzz “Best Performing Masternodes #Week49” – article and you can see that already the 8th best-performing master node is on the negative side of profit.
when considering how many master node coins there exists, this really makes you wonder how only so few are able to escape the clutches of bitcoin.
But good news, Telos is one of them and not just one of them, but the number one, making actually more than twice the profit compared to the second one. But what really matters is not how much profit Telos made, but that Telos stayed on the plus side while others that followed bitcoin went down.
It was only the previous news item where I told about Lucky Sevens Monday Article of “Do you trade TELOSCOIN and why not?” which seems to having been more timely than he even thought when right after publishing we receive the news of Telos being number one performing master node coin begging the question of “Why not?” again.
Number #1 – Telos – making more than twice the profit of the second one.
Now that’s a darn good question, I already advised half a year ago to go and Buy Telos expecting the price to go up and yet only very few bought any, and one guy even sold a huge amount. And here we are today showing that the advice was right and sound. Ha, sucks to be the seller!
Will you listen this time or still stay on the missing side?
Its been existing for about three weeks already but it is never too late to join it: the Telegram Group for Transcendence/Telos (and XBTX) have been set up by ZenH2O and you are free to join it.
If you feel Discord is just not enough or you just prefer Telegram otherwise, this is a good option and as far as I have checked it, there is usually quite a load of unread messages waiting there every time I remember the thing exists and check it.
Have you bought some Telos related products from Pascal? Like Bluebox, Xminer, Peertoro hosting?
If you did, you can ask for some free wine then.
Pascal has made a limited amount of Telos and Bitcoin Subsidium wine to be given to his customers.
As long as you have ordered something from him, you can head on to Official Discord Channel and choose channel #weihnachten and tell you want one too, or write your address to discord username Bitcoin_bond_007 which is even better, as he will be handling the posting from now on.
For German customers, this offer is completely free, but for the rest of the world Pascal asks you to pay 2 500 TELOS for postage, other than that, it is free for the rest too.
So hurry up and get one for yourself while stocks last still, which I don’t guarantee there is any left even at the moment you read this for this offer been available for several days already.
PolisPay has Epay Debit Bank Cards in which you can load money and use them to pay stuff for example in groceries.
While we are still not able to directly buy stuff with Cryptos, it is only 1-step away from that.
If you have Telos stored in Polispay system, then if you are at grocery store and have internet connection available, you could be said to being able to pay your Groceries with Telos since idea is that you would log in to you Polispay account, and there you choose to convert (=sell) Telos to Euros. After this is done, these Euros will be at your use with your Debit Card.
So almost like paying with Telos even technically, you are paying with Euros.
To make this even more appealing, Pascal has ordered 100 Debit Cards from Polispay with Telos Design.
If you wish to have one of these, you can order one from here (not available to all countries), but do hurry up, for as title already says, there are only 100 of these available and due to TELOSNEWS.COM already reporting about this bit late they might soon all be gone.
While today is a Wednesday, this article indeed was released on Monday, although actually for over a week ago already since I am catching up with the news still having been so busy for about two weeks now already.
Lucky Seven talks about Greenbox this time, the box that hasn’t received much attention so far, probably mainly because it is basically a business solution more than a personal solution.
Only very few people worry about their carbon emission enough to look to get some CO2 certificates to balance their carbon, but Businesses, on the other hand, worry much more about this because they are being forced to worry about it. If they don’t get CO2 certificates, their factory might be shut down as too polluting, hence Greenbox is an excellent idea for businesses, and not so much for people, especially for those who notice there is something fishy about all this fuss about Carbon emission like when Brazil forest fires went on and people were afraid that the lungs of earth were depleted and we will run out of oxygen, some expert advised us by freely from memory said “Don’t worry, Brazil forest didn’t mean much to oxygen since there anyway weren’t enough CARBON to produce the oxygen”, wait, weren’t we supposed to reduce the Carbon and now they say there weren’t enough of it?
Be whatever way it is, I am anyway for those CO2 certificates since idea is that those certificates mean you bought new trees and similar, and that is a good thing anyway, whether there is any worry about Carbon emission or not.
Since people keep moaning about not having a roadmap available for Telos and XBTX, Pascal finally decided to make one to please this crowd.
While this new aesthetically pleasing roadmap does look nice and is even available in both dark and white background, you however shouldnt expect too much from it.
It is an good addition and shows some clear tehcnical nature goals, but it is missing all the new things coming, like cryptomages, profitcycle, etc.
But it is still good to have one, and thanks from that Pascal!
Oh, and of course thanks to Discord Mod Tybiboune too who actually made the graphics.
the version for light backgroundand the version for black background – not sure what is the difference but I am starting to feel there is some hidden racism in here by leaving all the yellow, red and gray shades out of choices.
So what do the Roadmap then say?
For Telos Wallet, it is basically telling that there is going to be the regular update requiring a fork a during summer, which we have already known since last summer. However, it also mentions developing so-called magnetic links into Telos, which is something new and makes it possible to basically integrate cloud storage systems and other things into Telos without actually needing to store all that stuff in Telos, for which there wouldn’t be space enough for.
For XBTX it is mainly saying that there is going to be a wallet, a one that can create and manage assets on-the-go.
For XBTX assets, which is basically a continuation from XBTX wallet part, it is giving some bit more info, including some names we didn’t know before.
There is going to be a VEND ticket for Vending machines. Then there is going to be CO2, which is a token for Greenboxes. And then there is going to be Kudos which is token for Profitcycles. As last there is also a mention of a Bilbo token – what that is, your guess is good as mine.
General updates section basically mentions preparing systems for arbitrage trading, tax reporting, and fraud prevention.
Transcendence Cloud & Transcendence Wallet part, however, reveals us something bit more exciting sounding stuff by revealing us a lot about the future wallet that’s been in the making for a long time already.
It will have built-in KYC, AML 5 compliance, built-in MN hosting and hashpower renting, to put it short, all-in-one solution wallet.
In steps to make this all, Amicloud will be rebranded into Transcendence Cloud, which is unfortunate since as Amiga fan I always liked the Amicloud name.
To make it, even more, an all-in-one solution, it also mentions merging IndieGO store, Transcendence Cloud and multi-coin wallet all together, and as the last step for 2020 all-in-one plan, it will also merge MinxAI, Tradingbot, and Bitdorado API all into the same wallet.
When this all is done, it sounds like it truly is going to be pretty much all-in-one wallet, and getting into the world of Transcendence will be very easy. Just download and install the wallet, and through that wallet you can do all the things you could want to do, including handling other coins even it seems.
Keep in mind, this roadmap was basically just about boring technical stuff, this was still leaving all the exciting stuff mentioned, like not a single mention about Cryptomages which is about to go to open public beta beginning of next year, so one can wonder what more is there in store for Telos for next year, since at least the technical plans seem to be in good state, but what all surprises and new products are still waiting for us there, we will see in 2020.
Governance.rocks is currently having 1 new vote and 1 new bounty.
Voting has to do with Stakegrinding, which in simple terms means that someone is able to get much more staking rewards than he should and which was reported by TELOSNEWS.COM in an earlier article.
This problem can be fixed immediately, and it can be done in two different ways.
The hard way is that a new fork is needed which means that all the nodes and all would need to be set up again for the new fork.
The easier way is to simply turn the staking off completely. No staking, no rewards, not even for the stake grinders, but this means no staking then.
However, since Telos anyway has 70 percent of its coins locked to master nodes, and damage isn’t that bad, instead of doing an immediate fix, the problem can be fixed next summer when next fork is anyway going to happen.
Personally I think this problem is such a minor one, and we can expect more similar-sized problems to happen in future, that I don’t really see sense in fixing every small problem with such heavy features but let the problem exist until next natural fork and while that happens, fix the small problem along.
You anyway now have a chance to voice your opinion by picking one of 4 options:
Fix immediately by removing staking.
Fix Immediately by making a new fork (requires reinstalling all nodes)
Wait until next fork, but fix it by removing staking completely.
Wait until next fork, and just fix it.
The second new one in governance.rocks is a Donation bounty for marketing.
Telos is going to be listed at biki.com exchange, and instead of usual just get listed, this time plan is to list Telos by specific timing (decided mainly by biki.com), and by a marketing campaign.
Marketing campaign, however, costs, especially when idea is to place banners at places like MNO and coinmarketcap.
Therefore if you like the marketing campaign to be bigger, you now have a chance to donate to it.
As an additional incentive, I myself promise to donate 1 telos for every 2 Telos put to that bounty up to 100 000 Telos by the last day of this year.
Right now there are 100 000 Telos, so on the last day of this year I will be putting 50 000 Telos there more, but if you readers put there another 100 000 Telos still, then instead of putting just 50 000 Telos, I will be putting 100 000 Telos there.
First, the last four digits on the price of Telos at Graviex were 1030, and then just one hour later, the last four digits were 0105!
What had happened, did the price crash? No, Graviex had just dropped the extra digit from its Telos price, so price actually went up.
Yep. Graviex has this system where it instead of using 8 digits after the full unit has 9 digits. This means that as the 8th digit is commonly called Satoshi, Graviex’s last digit is actually 0.1 Satoshi.
This is good for coins which price goes around 1 Satoshi since people can still make some profit without price reaching even that 1 Satoshi, but for coins with higher price, like Telos, this can be confusing to many who haven’t got used to it as they might look price has become ten times better than before when in reality it is just the same as elsewhere.
But no worry anymore, since Graviex gives an option for Coin developers to request removal of this extra Graviex digit, this is what Pascal did, and now price even in Graviex is based upon 8 digits instead of 9.
Notice, however, that to execute this digit change Graviex had to cancel all active orders. So if you were trying to buy/sell anything, your order has been canceled and you need to place the order again.
