New Telos QT Wallet, release numbered 3.0.5 was released yesterday.

This is not a mandatory update, and actually, if you are using Dashboard, you shouldn’t even update to this yet.

This is just a small update that hopefully helps to fight against the recent Forking problem.

So basically, if you know what you are doing, great if you download this and help to stabilize the network again.

It appears we have a new roadmap for this year ready based upon that Pascal tweeted it, well, actually not so new since this was tweeted already a month ago.

It appears to be very similar in style to the previous Roadmap for 2020 in that it tells only about some technical things and mainly leaves all the fun stuff out, like Cryptomages. But then again, Cryptomages didn’t come out in 2020, so maybe it was for accuracy.

When reading this roadmap, it is good to compare it to the previous one to have some idea how well these plans will come together. I would say, without actually thoroughly checking it, that about half of what was in roadmap 2020, did happen, and then another 1/4th happened in some different form than originally planned, and another 1/4th didn’t happen. So perhaps this is what we can expect from this one too.

But what is there now:

TELOS WALLET isn’t really telling us much anything. It mentions there are going to be two votings, one about Telos fundamentals (rewards, collateral, split) and another about a hard fork, which actually sounds pretty much the same as the first one, except that it adds voting about magnet links, which seems to be connected to the third thing mentioned, which is to add Transcendence Cloud to wallet I suppose, although the wording is just talking about adding magnet links to use in Transcendence Cloud (which it says will be voted on hard fork part?)

In short. Seems the plan from technical stuff is to add Transcendence Cloud (used to be Amicloud) to Wallet and add a Magnetic link feature to be able to use it with the blockchain. And non technically to have votes about telos fundamentals, which will probably happen through Dashboard actually, although they technically are Wallet features.

XBTX WALLET section mentions only DYNANET being added, more about that in the DYNANET DEX part.

XBTX ASSETS section mentions a couple of Assets that are planned to be created using the XBTX Asset creation system:

AML token is for the AML-Now KYC system
BAM (Brick And Mortar) is meant for real estate stuff
EUREX is to my understanding Euro Bound token, meaning the price of one Eurex should always be exactly one Euro
CO2 token is meant for Greenbox (a different version of a Bluebox).

DYNANET DEX tells in more detail about the DYNANET that is mentioned in the XBTX Wallet part. It is planned that next month first trusted nodes will be put up for this Dynanet DEX, and I suppose these are the same trusted nodes that I have mentioned in “Telos R – What is it?”-article, which also tells you more about the part where it mentions Telos R as one of the roadmap features in DYNANET.

It also mentions that DYNANET will have Crosschain feature that will be used by bitdorado, probably meaning that Bitdorado could be used as an exchange basically.

Swap & Merge part I leave uncommented, since I am too unsure what exactly it is talking about.

TRANSCENDENCE DASHBOARD tells about stuff that has actually partially been even done already (I saw the first work-in-progress version of this Roadmap already at February I think). It mentions built-in KYC, which might be the AML there already, or maybe something else, Built-in Masternode hosting, meaning you can easily set up master nodes without tech-how just using the dashboard, and hash power renting using the dashboard, which is basically the same as we have in Bitdorado already but would be doable directly from the dashboard.

Cloud I suppose is the same as Transcendence Cloud in the TELOS WALLET section, and Multiservice is just vaguely without details mentioning that there is a plan to merge Indiego, Cloud, and dashboard all into the same. That basically I suppose Indiego store would work through the dashboard. Last, CO2 token is mentioned again, as it was mentioned in XBTX ASSETS already once.

GENERAL UPDATES mentions built-in arbitrage trading, does it mean that users can do it automatically or something else, is not told. Tax reporting is mentioned, and have also to at least some part even added to the dashboard already, I myself used it for end of year tax reporting already. And then there is mention of antifraud on the on-chain analysis level. I am not sure how exactly that works, but I guess this vague description gives already quite a good idea of the general idea.

This is the plan, and hopefully it works out fully and more stuff comes too. Based upon how the 2020 roadmap happened, I suppose we can expect quite many of these to become reality and some more stuff too that are not mentioned here at all.

Telos Wallet 3.04 and Transcendence Dashboard Beta have been released to Github.

This is actually a bit of a old news already, but I didn’t want to write about this until I had tested Dashboard myself since I was actually expecting Dashboard to be much more than it currently is yet and was expecting to be writing a long article telling you all about it.

Now don’t get this wrong, Dashboard is still a great piece of work and I personally at least like it quite much in that it shows to be quite promising with the little there is already.

Wallet version 3.04 was released in hopes of fixing some unintended forking happening, and at least so far it seems it has worked.

Along with the Wallet 3.04, there is also now a Beta version of the long waited Transcendence Dashboard and I am finally starting to see what Pascal has been meaning all this time about not needing exchanges anymore, etc. that Dashboard could be one in all solution.

Yes, we are still far from that point, but the underlying technology is already there, and using just a little bit of imagination you can see how that all will happen, and indeed, I can see how there wouldn’t be a need for exchanges anymore, but all trades would happen as basically, OTC trades, even at the same time they would be like exchange trades as long as there’s a system to keep track of them and their prices.

Anyway, right now there is only quite a little on the Dashboard yet. There are lots of menu options that are shaded out as not there yet, but they will give you a hint about the future.

At this point Dashboard is basically only working as a Telos and Bitcoin Subsidium wallet.

What is interesting with this is that instead of Dashboard being a wallet in itself, it is actually more of an interface to work with the wallets. So in practice you will still have the usual Telos and XBTX wallets running, but they are basically invisible since you just don’t need to worry about them since basically Dashboard is supposed to take care of them.

This however is not true yet, as it is still only on Beta stage and missing some crucial pieces still, like if your wallet doesn’t get automatically connected to nodes, you actually need to go and do stuff on the wallet, since Dashboard doesn’t have these features implemented yet, although they are planned to come.

However, after you get your wallet running smoothly, you can see how handy Dashboard actually is. For instead of flipping back and forth with different wallet softwares, you can just choose from Dashboard which coin, Telos or XBTX, to look at, and Dashboard will show all the info regarding that coins wallet of yours.

What I also liked was that while the old QT-wallet was a bit limited in how to show transactions, that you could see them only one way basically, Dashboard, on the other hand, gives you a chance to display them in different ways, like you could choose to look only received or sent transactions, or only from the certain time period. Just choose the filters to use, see the result and even save it in sort of CSV form. Sort of CSV since it actually isn’t CSV, since CSV would be Comma Separated Values, but this is actually using Tab to separate values. However, when you open this file in Excel, for example, you can choose to have separation done using Tab instead of Commas, and it works.

Also, when you close or open the Dashboard, you can choose to run or stop running all the associated wallets with Dashboard.

So instead of starting XBTX wallet and Telos wallet separately, I simply open Dashboard and Dashboard opens them both automatically. Or when I close dashboard, it asks if I also want to close my Telos and XBTX wallets, choose yes, and they are both closed instead of me needing to close them separately.

This alone can be pretty handy feature if you for example have 10 different wallets that you just want to sync and see the situation once a month. Instead of opening them all separately and having possibly 10 different interfaces to deal with, just open Dashboard and get them all automatically synced and save the transactions using just one interface instead of 10.

Now there is however a downside to this too, for opening all these wallets and running them at the same time will also take lots of memory. It seems to me that running Telos and XBTX wallet at the same time takes about 5 Gb of memory, so that needs to be taken into consideration. If you have less than that of memory, there is an option to run only one of the wallets at a time however.

Couple of Instructions regarding DASHBOARD that you might run into:

The first problem you might encounter is your AntiVirus not letting you run some parts of the Dashboard or wallets. In this case, you need to check your Antivirus settings and there should be some place where you can choose to give permission for some files manually. You might need to give permission to all files regarding Dashboard as well as regarding wallets, including wallet.dat files. My own AntiVirus (F-Secure) actually even tends to delete wallet.dat files if I don’t tell it to ignore them first, and that is a pretty scary thing to happen.

Next thing is that running the Dashboard requires about 5 Gb of free memory (just based upon my own test and only at the time I tested, it might take more in the future) Having less than this amount of memory can result in strange behavior, errors, and crashes.

If you can’t have enough Memory, you can try opening only one of the wallets

When you start Dashboard for the first time, it will make a certain folder called “Transgui”-folder to a certain location.

This location is usually located at:
C:Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/transgui

Notice that “Username” refers to the user name you are having on your computer and to see AppData, you need to enable seeing hidden files.

In here you will find a file called “cfg_autostart.exe” open this to your notepad and you will see a line reading “XBTX=true” now change this line to “XBTX=false” save the file and start your dashboard as usual and it will now not try to start XBTX wallet and hence saves you a lot of memory.

Then the problem you might encounter is that your wallet doesn’t get any connections.

To fix this, You need to locate your Blockchain folder. When you first time started your Telos Wallet, or if you have never started it, then in case when you first time started the Dashboard, it is asking for a folder where to save the Telos Blockchain.

Locate this folder and inside this folder you will see a file called “transcendence.conf” open this file and in this you need to add addnode lines. as an example:
addnode=12.34.56.789

Thing is, you cant use just any numbers, but these numbers need to be actual node addresses.

To find them, you could first try if ones in the Telos Explorer work for you:

If ones on the Explorer don’t seem to work for you, then you can go to Transcendence/Telos community discord and search from there for the most recent list of Add nodes.

With these instructions and a fair warning that we are talking of a Beta version that might still contain some bad bugs in it, go and try Dashboard.

And you thought TELOSNEWS wasn’t keeping an eye out for you on new Alejandro Finol articles? WRONG! TELOSNEWS have kept eyes on him all this time, even on this two months ago published article where he talks about Telos and Corona and Bluebox Corona offer, which you should notice that the Corona offer is basically not available anymore, although, you might ask from Discord username Bitcoin_Bond_007 if you might be lucky to get one from him still.

Well, that Lucky Seven just keeps changing his release dates more than some people change their socks, but no worries, TELOSNEWS stays up to it for you, although 2 months after.

Yep, catching up here on old news a bit, but no worries, while TELOSNEWS isn’t covering something, you can always trust Lucky Seven to do it, as he has.

This article is about the New Telos wallet, which is still in Beta or something by the way, so it would be very much appreciated if you would use Lucky Sevens guide in this article and install it for you and then report any problems to Github about it so bugs can be fixed before the final version of it, supposedly before July fork, will be released.

And the Russian Translation by MOD tybiboune:
VK.com

Piggybank v3 has been released.

As have been with previous versions, this version too is free for those who already own previous version – v2. To get one of the free “upgrades”, contact the place where you bought your v2 from.

New v3 is much more expensive than the previous ones, previous ones stayed clearly under 100 Euros as far as I recall, while this new one’s price has jumped all the way to 349,95 Euros!

Is this the final price, or is this just a lifted up price for a while so old owners would get their upgrades done first remains to be seen, but in announcement Pascal already announced that price of V3 is much higher than V2, so even if there would come a price drop, expect it to still be costly.

However, while the price has gone up, so have the power and according to the announcement V3 is 20 times more powerful than V2, so that might explain a bit about the price rise.

20 Times more speed also makes me wonder if there are some hidden surprises again waiting for the owners since that wouldn’t be the first time Pascal sells us something and then a month later he tells us “oh yeah, if you open the box you can see a gold bar inside there”.

In addition to 20 times more powerful, it was also told that we can expect software updates for the piggybank v3 like additional wallets for coins that are supported by soon upcoming Bitdorado Exchange.

So perhaps the price isn’t based upon hardware price anymore but based upon the real value of the stuff inside, that would be my guess. For even the 349,95 price tag makes very much sense when part of the deal, at least for now, is that you can get one of your XBTX wallet address whitelisted for Bluepool, which makes this the cheapest option currently to get access to a bluepool, and as Pascal put it, gets your piggy bank filled itself.

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.

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.

As the title says, you can now finally go to AppStore with your Apple devices and grab iOS Telos wallet for free.

Now there is no more excuse for you to not having Telos Wallet in your Android devices since Android Wallet has now become free for everyone to download.

However, Bounty intended to make Android Wallet free never got filled and the collected bounty amount is now moved to serve another purpose, to make the iOS Wallet free.

Right now iOS Wallet costs you 9,99, but that can all be changed by filling up the governance.rocks bounty that is now concentrating on getting iOS Wallet free of charge like its companion Android Wallet now is.

So hurry up people and donate your share of Telos to the bounty before the price of Telos goes up even more making donations that much more expensive to make. Had you done it back in time already, you would have got it done for half the price than it is now.

iOS version of Telos Wallet has been updated and updated version should have appeared all over the world already to AppStore, or if not in your AppStore yet, then it soon should be.

This new version will add DNS-seeder helping your wallet find a suitable node quicker and hence to sync and work faster.

As always, remember to write down your backup phrase before you update it in case something goes wrong. If you don’t, you will risk losing access to your coins for good.

Pascal has sent a message a couple of days ago already to everyone who owns an Android wallet.

The message is to first make a backup of your Android wallet, and then delete your current Android wallet and reinstall it.

This is to fix a problem where some of the wallets have seed nodes to nodes that didn’t survive the switch to the Tiered nodes system, and it appears that just resetting your blockchain alone won’t do the trick but you actually have to delete the old one and reinstall anew.

Of course, if your Android wallet works fine, then I guess there is no need to do this, but if you seem to be having problems with your Android wallet, then this the way to fix it.

So your Germany isn’t what it used to be anymore and you weren’t able to follow what they spoke about in KryptoFriday Episode 20.

No worry, Discord Username “Running_Wilson” did some investigative journalism and watched the episode and sent a summary to TELOSNEWS.COM about what all they discussed.

First of all there was a lot of talk about the upcoming wallet update with details about what the next version should hold as well as even about stuff that are planned to become only maybe a year later yet.

Notice by the way that this wallet update is NOT mandatory, so if you don’t want it, you don’t have to take it but you can as well do with your current wallet.

Due to the massive nature of the update, it is not going to be named regularly as 2.1 or something, but instead, in homage to certain movie franchise, it is going to be named version 33 1/3.

This new Wallet will be based upon PIVX 4, and it will include loads of improvements to interface, functionality, and looks.

One of the most telling changes is the reduced amount of memory needed. Before you would have needed 2Gb Ram, now you need only 200 Mb. That is memory reduction to only 10 percent of what it used to take!

Another one that might interest those interested in running master nodes is that setting up master nodes is made much easier with this wallet. Basically you are going to be getting quite far with just point n click system, as you click on the tier you want to set up and stuff you used to need to enter manually, will now get automatically set up for you.

There is even a plan that in future even the server-side would be automatically done by wallet, but that is not going to happen in this update yet.

Graphics will be very different from the current looks and will also include some useful rotational banners which can show places like Peertoro and Kryptobay, or even exchanges where Telos is available to be traded at.

In addition to wallet update, there was also talk about Polis co-operation in which Pascal confirmed that there was co-operation happening between Polis and Telos.

In the past Pascal hadn’t specifically noted Polis, but now it happened to be that Polis had adopted some same things Pascal was planning to adopt to Telos too, so why not co-operate instead of reinventing the wheel and both can benefit.

Polis should integrate Telos into it during next week (does it mean this or the next one? well, I guess we will soon find out) and Pascal have already taken a look at Polis App and says it looks very good.

There was talk also about Polis Credit Card into which Telos will likely get too since Polis guys are already hard working on that. If this happens, then you could pay with Telos on the go.

But as already mentioned, this is co-operation, so it isn’t onesided benefits, but as Telos is setting up its own exchange, with German licenses all, this was naturally of great interest to Polis too, and similarly it is planned that Polis will be included in Telos projects, like peertoro and Blueboxes will soon also include Polis Nodes in their offers.

Then there was also mention of the latest price development where the Price of Telos had gone from 45 SAT to 70-75 SAT, and it was wondered if we will reach even 80 SAT soon.

there was also a mention about upcoming Tangem Telos cards, but there was nothing that TELOSNEWS.COM hadn’t already reported in its article about Tangem notes coming to Telos and Subsidium.

There you have it. Thanks to Running_Wilson you can still keep ignoring your German classes.

Android version of Telos wallet has got an update to version 2.1.7 and should be out by now, as long as google have done its job and got the updated version on the distribution as is should have.

If you already have Android Telos wallet on your phone, it should automatically tell you there is an update available.

The update is small but important. The main improvement is with the Syncing system. Before if your display blanked (energy-saving method), it might have lost the sync with the network, now it shouldn’t do that anymore as Telos Wallet app should now be recognized as a “foreground” app.

Another Monday and another Monday article from Lucky seven, this time all about Wallets, including some tidbit about future wallets too:

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.

Yesterday (yep, TELOSNEWS.COM is bit late this time) there came a new bounty to governance.rocks.

Appears that Dev is planning on updating the User Interface of Telos to Pivx3 style of User Interface, which I suppose means wallet, to look better and which will also make things work easier, like setting up Master Nodes would be easier with this.

This is a funny bounty in a sense that the Bounty sum is quite big actually, a total of 1 Million Telos. However, this bounty is happening regardless whether bounty is reached or not, that actually this bountys purpose is to be a thank you tip bounty for making us a better-looking User Interface.

Current estimated ETA for new User Interface is about 2 weeks.

At least until that you can show some goodwill and encourage also future development of Telos by showing your appreciation by giving something to the bounty.

I don’t think the amount matters as much as the number of donators. Several people putting just 1 000 or even just 100, is probably better than one putting the whole Million.

That in mind, head on to donate some Telos there.

Dev had a scheduled call with Tangem today, and in this call they agreed upon making Tangem Notes for both Telos and Subsidium.

Tangem Note is an interesting little product with possibility for some specific useful uses.

Tangem Note is a card with a chip that you can use to store your Cryptocurrencies, in this case, Telos or Subsidium. Naturally, you can also transfer these funds between cards or other things by using your phone.

All in all, if you think these as gift cards upon which you can load more funds, you are somewhat close to what it is. Basically idea is to work as a form of cash for cryptocurrencies that instead of having a lot of cash in your wallet, now you will just be holding Tangem Note in your wallet, and whenever you need to pay, you give this Tangem Note to cashier and he reduces required amount of funds as he would from a gift card.

Naturally, if you know you have exactly for example 20 Euros worth of Telos in this card, you could instead of transferring the funds, simply give the card to pay your 20 Euros worth of stuff.

This also brings the good and the bad thing about the Tangem note. While it is very handy as a crypto replacement for cash, it also suffers the same problem as cash as since anyone can use it, it also means that if someone steals it, he can then use those funds as they would be his, for which reason it is not recommended to keep too much money in your tangem note at any time, just like you wouldn’t keep too much cash in your wallet either as there is always a risk someone robs you.

However, same as cash, your damage is reduced only to what you have in your Tangem Note, since each Tangem Note comes with a unique Private Key, and this private key is put there already at manufacturing process to it in such a way that no one can ever copy or change it. Therefore, for example, a risk of someone cloning your card is not possible.

In addition to being a replacement for cash, Tangem Note can be used for other things too, like you could use it for ID purposes for example in some big event by adding some info about each person. This could work as a cheap way for ID proof for personnel in some big event as an example.

It is holding blockchain stuff inside it after all, so basically anything that is possible with a blockchain is possible to add to this card. You could have even in previous rumors article mentioned Telos third coin having access to a video, then you scan the card with your phone and can play the video, making it basically possible to sell digital videos by selling these Tangem Notes.

Anyway, at this point main usage for a regular user is that it will work as a good way to introduce people to Telos by having a chance of giving Telos gift cards, or you could even sell telos by putting 10 000 Telos to each card and then sell them to people against Euros. Or you could put to one of the cards 1 Million Telos and take it to your bank for safekeeping and one day either you or people who inherit you could open the bank vault, take the note, and become Telos Millionaire without worrying anything about Passwords, etc.

Basically the only downside to this note is that unfortunately it doesn’t do staking. So whatever you put there, will stay exactly that and not become more like with piggybank they would.

This kind of Card is now coming for Telos and Subsidium, based upon announcement, still during this year.

keep following TELOSNEWS.COM and there be a news item when this happens.

Dev have just announced he have got DUNS number to Apple Appstore.

What does this mean? It means Dev can release stuff to Apple Appstore, and this includes the possibility to release Telos iOS wallet, and this is actually what he plans to do, except, there’s a little catch. Telos community needs to step up a little.

You might have noticed this pinned post about Android wallet for free.

Dev now says that not only will Android wallet become free when 400 000 Telos is collected on this bounty, but also iOS wallet will become free, and also released, when this Bounty is reached.

We are halfway there already, so open up your wallets and put your Telos flying towards that Bounty

To help with this effort, Dev have even made an appealing offer for all the Bluebox owners. If you own a bluebox, and you donate at least 40k Telos in this bounty, then your usual 64k Telos in blueboxes will be upgraded to 100k. This means that by donating 40k Telos, you are actually getting back 36k, by other words, you donate only 4k Telos in practice, now how little is that?

I would hurry up if I be you, theres space for only 5 more upgrades anymore, then the bounty is fulfilled and rest will miss this chance.
