When you put Piggybank to a cloud and get a Remote Desktop Access to it, what do you get?

Well, I admit I at first missed it myself since I was just looking that you are getting a Piggybank on a cloud with a remote access, which is exactly what it is, but what I missed at the start was that there is actually a more familiar name to this kind of access called Virtual Computer or Cloud Computer or Remote Access Computer or…

And when I realized that, I understood what a great deal here is on offer for Telos users.

For only roughly 100 Euros with the current Telos price, you are getting a lifetime Cloud Computer access. This is dirt cheap. Or I would actually argue more expensive than any other deal, for, after all, next day you could have sold those 35k Telos for 35K Euros. So you decide if it’s dirt cheap or extortion. Is it 100 euro bargain or 35K Euros of lost profit.

A couple of years ago I was myself looking at getting a Remote Access Virtual Computer since I was having difficulty getting connected to some specific websites, and on holiday vacation we noticed the vacation place had an excellent connection to those websites, so I started looking at getting Virtual computer from that precise location, and I did find they were for rent, but the price was much more than the one-time payment of 100 euros, for it was much more than that each year.

If you are asking from me, this a real killer deal for anyone already owning one of the Telos products that lower the price to 35K Telos in case you are looking for a Remote Virtual Computer access. I would have jumped to a deal like this couple of years ago had one like this been available.

In addition to this Virtual Computer, you could use this simpler way too. For one thing you could do is to simply use this as a wallet for different coins.

The good thing about this is that what I have learned when using my own Windows machine as a wallet, sometimes something might cause some unexpected behavior, for example, my Antivirus decided to automatically erase my wallet.dat file, since it decided it was a suspicious file (I guess it figured Telos price was suspiciously lower than it should be). Well, good thing I had a backup, except it deleted that one too. But luckily I had also one file named differently than wallet.dat, and that one my antivirus didn’t recognize.

Anyway, that is just an example of what could happen, and one way to likely prevent something like that is to use Virtual Piggybank as your wallet machine.

And as long as you don’t use it for anything else but as a wallet, you are likely going to be able to avoid all the hackers getting into your computer to steal your wallet.dat files, etc.

So it can be pretty good solution from security point of view as well.

Not to mention that part of the service is that every 30 days there will be a backup done of your virtual piggybank, so even if something nasty would happen, you wouldn’t lose more than 30 days of stuff done (although I still recommend you make backups for yourself manually too, especially since the newest auto backup will replace the previous one always)

The next possibility, which is also interesting from a cost point of view, is that you can actually use this to mine some coins the same way you can use the previous Piggybanks that were sent to you.

This means that basically you could buy this already just in case you happen to ever need a virtual computer, and while waiting for that, simply use it for mining, and at point you finally need a virtual computer, you might have actually made more money back than you ever used to buy it.

All in all, a very interesting product for many different needs, even at start it doesn’t seem like much. Just another piggybank until you realize it isn’t.

Now do notice couple of things however.

First of all. Sad thing is, if you do use this as your wallets, it, unfortunately, works the same as with your home computers in that you do need to update the wallets yourself. ARES will simply provide you with Piggybank and access to it, but other than that, for security reasons, they won’t be able to touch your virtual machine, so you have to touch it yourself, including updating your wallets.

But at least Virtual Piggybank does come preinstalled with XBTX and TELOS wallets, so the first time installation is saved from you.

Also, the Operating system is Ubuntu 20, which might be good or bad, depending on your taste. I would myself have preferred AEROS.

But other than that. What a great deal!

The pricing starts from 35K or 150K Telos. Idea is, if you don’t own any Telos product suitable for discount (Piggybank, Bluebox) then the price is 150K Telos.

If you do however own Bluebox or Piggybank, then the price is only 35K Telos (dirt cheap, except of course you are losing huge profits that you would have got by selling those Telos a week later).

There are currently three different options. Piggybank S, M, and L, S giving the least and L naturally the most.

S is 35K/150K and includes 2.6 GB Ram and 60 GB Hard Disk space and 1 Virtual Core,

While L version is 80k/250K and offers 8GB Ram and 250 Gb Hard Disk Space and 2 Virtual Cores.

35K is actually not even the cheapest price, but there are some other discounts available too, like if you are a Bitdorado Premium Member. But you can find more details about those from Peertoro.eu Virtual PiggyBanks order page, where you should anyway have hurried up already at halfway this article.

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.

As can be seen from a picture below, there is now a zendesk support at peertoro.eu.

From now on if you have any issues regarding peertoro, like “can you check if my payment happened”, please make a ticket at zendesk instead of asking it on discord.

This will help make sure all the questions get answered instead of forgotten to a limbo.

Zendesk support is also planned to come in the future to other Telos services hosted by Pascal.

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…

Peertoro has a new offer which is somewhat similar to what Bitmain actually offered at one point, although in Bitmains case the deal never panned out well for the customers as far as I know, and it also was limited to a certain amount of profit right from beginning, which is not the case in Peertoros offer, which has unlimited profit prospect.

Thing is, you can from now on order some Hash Power to mine Bitcoin Subsidium (XBTX) from Peertoro, a minimum of 10 Kh/s up to the maximum of even 4 Mh/s.

The deal is that you pay once, and after that, there by default won’t be any more payments, but this power will mine XBTX to you all the way to eternity.

Except, there is a limit. If your ordered power is not able to mine at least one block of XBTX from bluepool during a month, then this deal will by default be canceled.

However, fear not, for before this deal is canceled, you are offered a chance to buy more Mining power so you wouldn’t lose your old deal.

So you could first buy just 10 Kh/s, and when one day it won’t be enough to get one block during a month, you can simply order another 10 Kh/s of mining power, and then this total of 20 Kh/s will be mining XBTX for you until one day again this 20 Kh/s won’t be able to get you a block during a month, at which point you will again be offered a chance to buy more mining power, and so it continues until you decide not to buy more mining power anymore.

At the time of writing this, the price for almost life-time 10 Kh/s costs only 47 600 Telos, and buying more power will be cheaper, as an example buying just 30 Kh/s will already be only 95 200 Telos, which is only double the price of 10 Kh/s.

Keep in mind that if I correctly recall from memory, Xminers mine at about 960 Kh/s power, so this is not a bad deal at all if you can’t afford the whole Xminer for yourself, or even if you can, since after all, you don’t need to take care of anything, nor pay the electricity or maintenance cost, or worry about machine breaking, just pick the profits and that’s it.

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.

A video that seems to have escaped our attention, and already from a year ago?

This is why we need TELOSNEWS.COM which, had it been around a year ago already, would have told you already in time that there is such a video existing.

Right now it seems most Telos community members are not aware of this video at all.

So here you are, a Telos Video from a year ago which seems to be more relevant today than it was a year ago, as Cryptomages and Bitdorado mentioned in this video are only just about to be released now.

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.

About a week ago Polispay added Telos to their supported coins.

Polispay is pretty useful service providing not that many use cases, but those few are very good and well connected together, and after studying a bit about Polispay, it is no wonder Pascal wanted to co-operate with them since, indeed, they do seem to be having some very similar goals as Pascal has in payment area.

First of all, Polispay has a wallet that can hold multiple currencies in it. Nothing new there, there have been them before too.

However, this wallet then makes it possible to have its “Shift” system, which is actually an instant conversion/trade to other coins. Basically a feature that normally Exchanges have, but one that is now applied to a wallet.

Normally when you want to buy some BTC with Litecoins for example, it would take 10 minutes for Bitcoins to arrive at you if things work right, and if not, it could take even a day as have happened with Bitcoin couple of times. However, using Polispays Shift system you will instantly get your BTC to your wallet ready to use.

Having basically an instant payment system in place, this would naturally make a basis for an e-commerce payment system, which Polispay indeed is making right now, making it possible for you to add polispay merchant system as a payment option, and therefore enabling you to sell your stuff on your website against Telos coins for example.

This merchant system is not completely ready yet, but there is already a demo store showing it, so I suppose we might be talking of only of weeks before this Merchant system is ready to use. Of course, at first it won’t have all the features they plan it to have, but I am sure they will be working hard to get the rest of the features set up in relatively short after.

Also, this merchant solution is not limited to just e-commerce, but you could also use this in Brick and Mortar stores to accept for example Telos coins for payment.

Another interesting possibility this Shift system makes possible is the Credit Card system.

And yes, Polispay already has a Polispay Credit Card, a Mastercard to be more precise.

We are not yet there where Crypto enthusiasts have been dreaming of where you can just hold your Telos in your Wallet/Card, go to the grocery store, and use your Cryptos to pay your purchases, but Polispay makes us get pretty close to that already.

You are still not able to use your Cryptos directly to buy your groceries but with polispay, all you have to do is to open your polispay wallet cellphone app and choose to “charge” your credit card. This Charging in practice means that you choose to charge for example 10 000 Telos coins to your credit card, which in practice means that your 10 000 Telos would be sold against FIAT of your choice instantly, and then this FIAT amount could be used with that card anywhere where Mastercards are accepted.

In other words, due to the instant nature of sales happening immediately in polispay with Shift. with one extra step, you are practically able to buy groceries with your Cryptos in any place where Mastercard is accepted.

If the card or merchant options are not interesting to you, then Polispays Vouchers that have been provided in co-operation with Bitcou Gmbh might interest you instead. You can buy Gift Cards to Nintendo eShop, Playstation, or XBOX even, and to make most of the stuff available to you, there are also Amazon gift cards available among others.

Paying these Gift Cards has been made easy. You can buy them against any supported Cryptocurrency, that includes Telos too, and you could as example simply use your cellphone to open menu option from polispay wallet where you can buy these gift cards.

As is usual in the crypto world, Polispay has its own Polis coin as well. Nothing unusual there. POS system, so you can add Polis nodes, which I think Pascal already mentioned will come in future as options to both Peertoro and Blueboxes.

Polis coins will be used for example to pay fees that come from using Polispay Credit Card, Fees that will all be payable only with Polis coins.

Not at all a bad addition to Telos options this one!

Today it finally happened, Apple approved iOS wallet and now you can download it to your iPhones and Apple Watches.

However, since Free the wallet bounty is still not filled up, this means that iOS wallet will cost 10.99 until that Bounty is up.

However, if you own pretty much anything Telos, like Peertoro or Bluebox, you can ask for a free voucher to download the wallet.

In addition, there is also a little campaign going on right now which makes you think twice if using that voucher is actually smart or not. For if you are one of the first 100 to buy that wallet for 10.99, you will in addition get Peertoro 10k node for yourself as a bonus. With current Telos price, that is worth around 40 Euros, so might be wiser to pay than to get for free right now.

This is also a good opportunity to tell to your friends who have been interested in Telos but havent jumped in yet. What an easy way to get into Telos, just buy iOS wallet, and you get a node.

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.

Looks like today is promising to become a good day for those looking to read articles about Telos, for we already have one article to read today and as it is Monday, we expect Lucky Seven to release his usual Monday article at a later point too.

Crypto Masters has released their article titled “Telos 2.0: A Centralized Vision For Decentralized Innovation” which tells quite a lot of things about Telos, mentioning Aeguana, Bluebox, etc. and also telling about Telos 2.0 changes, like the Tiered model.

Now you can go and read the whole article, which is pretty long actually, and after you are done reading, perhaps come back to check if Lucky Seven has already released his Monday article, for TELOSNEWS.COM will, of course, tell you about that too when it happens.

Collateral for a Dash Node nowadays usually costs around 100 000 USD. Imagine if you could set up a Dash node for just 90 000 USD- And that is what Peertoro is now offering!

Yes, you heard that right. Peertoro now has a new pricing model where instead of paying double to triple of node collateral for a lifetime hosting (which is not bad either), you are now instead paying only 90 percent of the nodes collateral to get a lifetime hosting.

But yes, there is a small catch. You will get only 90 percent of Nodes income since the remaining 10 percent is took as a hosting fee.

But that is still pretty amazing offer. Either pay 100 percent and a monthly fee to host your own node, or pay one-time 90 percent, and no more cost to you, but still 90 percent of nodes income. Making you basically be able to buy 10 percent smaller nodes for 10 percent less price with lifetime hosting, making it cheaper to get in and cheaper (=no cost) to keep them running

And yes, TELOSNEWS.COM does understand that the Dash examples problem is that Dash is not on Peertoros list of nodes yet.

But don’t worry, there is a solution to that too. In addition to the new node pricing model, there is also a possibility to get more coins listed for hosting.

Coin Developer can pay a one-time fee of either 3 000 Euros in FIAT or even in that new coin to be listed currency, or pay 1 500 Euros worth of TELOS coins, and the new coin will be listed to Peertoro hosting.

This means that you could first buy Dash to be listed to Peertoro and then buy that node for 90 Percent of the price, making it still the cheapest way to get to having your own Dash node.

In addition, this newly listed coin will also be listed to Bluebox owners as a possibility as well as will get a one month of free banner rotation in both Kryptobay and GunsRus websites.

oh, and talking of bluebox owners, do notice that this new 90 percent offer doesn’t include the “buy one, get another to bluebox for free”-offer as Gold node offers do.

It was also said that a cross-promotion offer with MasternodeStats.info will follow at a later point.
