The Stacks 2.0 Testnet is Live

It appears that Blockstack has launched the Stacks testnet today – To get started right away, visit blockstack.org/testnet.   Go try it out and get ready for the launch of the mainnet later this Summer.

Go to the testnet and try out running a node, mining (coming soon), creating smart contracts, testing…

Welcome to The Stack Cafe^TM — A Giant Leap for Blockstack – Testnet for Stacks^2.0, a new mining protocol.

Blockstack is about to introduce a new mining mechanism – Stacks^2.0 or proof-of-transfer (PoX).  In this new protocol, a new secure blockchain is established in which the miner transfers the cryptocurrrency to another participant on the blockchain instead of burning the cryptocurrency.  This new Pox protocol helps incentivize – earn rewards – network participants to actively participate in the network but also may help eliminate the bootstrapping problems for new blockchains and make the new blockchain protocol more stable and secure. 

To learn more about PoX, join the community meeting on April 24, 2020.

Go to this link to register.  From Blockstack – “Join Blockstack’s Co-founder & CEO, Muneeb Ali as he gives an overview of the upcoming Stacks 2.0 public testnet. Learn about the different phases of the testnet, how it will impact the launch of the Stacks 2.0 mainnet, and ways to get involved with both!  Help Blockstack realize Web 3.0 with Proof of Transfer.  Be an early adopter and stay up to date on Proof of Transfer and STX Mining. Subscribe and check out the Proof of Transfer whitepaper and read our introductory blog post.”

The post Blockstack Vietnam is preparing for another meetup On August 12, 2018, in Vietnam appeared first on The Stack Cafe™.

Well, Blockstack Portland is busy preparing for its next Meetup on July 25, 2018.  The guest speaker is Thomas Cox.  Mr. Cox is a blockchain governance expert active in the EOS ecosystem. He worked previously for Oracle Corporation and IBM and lives in Beaverton, Oregon.

Per Blockstack Portland, the meetup will discuss:  “Somewhere between the Law of the Jungle of the Bitcoin blockchain, and the King’s Castle of a Hyperledger style private blockchain, lies the Swiss Village model of a blockchain governed by the consent of the members. Why will this blockchain approach be the friendliest for businesses, and how might it work? How can you tell if your business should be on a Governed Blockchain?” 

Looks very interesting and appears that the Team at Blockstack Portland is working together to bring this to the Blockstack ecosystem.

Well, Blockstack Portland is busy preparing for its next Meetup tonight – May 16, 2018.  And, tonight will feature an upcoming platform being built for Blockstack – Superchain. 

Per Blockstack Portland, “Superchain is a Blockchain platform that aims to fuse Blockchain with Cloud Computing. With Superchain, you get a interface similar to AWS or Google Cloud: a cli, web console, services like identity, storage, functions, pubsub, etc.” 

Looks very interesting and appears that the Team at Blockstack Portland is working together to bring this to the Blockstack ecosystem.

The post Blockstack Portland is hosting another Meetup on May 16, 2018 – Superchain appeared first on The Stack Cafe™.

Well, Blockstack is holding an event – Community Meetup – for Consensus 2018 event in New York City this week.  It appears that Team Blockstack will be ready to mingle and engage in conversation for all things blockstack and blockchain on Monday, May 14, 2018.  

The Blockstack Community Meetup event is a great opportunity to meet the people behind Blockstack and kickoff the week for Consensus 2018 in New York City.

A little bit about Blockstack from Blockstack:

Blockstack is a new internet for decentralized apps that you access through the Blockstack Browser. With Blockstack, there is a new world of apps that let you own your data and maintain your privacy, security and freedom.

For more on our posts about the Blockstack Browser, please visit this link here.

A little bit about Consensus 2018 from Consenus (Coindesk): 

CoinDesk is proud to present our 4th annual blockchain technology summit, May 14-16, 2018 at the New York Hilton Midtown. Consensus 2018 will feature 250+ speakers and 4,000+ attendees from the leading industry startups, investors, financial institutions, enterprise tech leaders, and academic and policy groups who are building the foundations of the blockchain and digital currency economy.

So, if you are interested in learning more about Consensus 2018, blockchain, digital economy, Blockstack and more… Go check out the Blockstack community meetup tomorrow at Houston Hall at 6:30 p.m.  Meet Team Blockstack and learn about the decentralized ecosystem being built by the same.

If you are in New York City this next week, and are interested in anything to do with blockchain, bitcoin, Blockstack or more, Consensus 2018 may be a good place to visit.  And, at a minimum, if you want to talk to the Team Blockstack, about Blockstack and what it is building, go to the meetup on Monday, May 14, 2018.

A Blockstack engineer has been coding/hacking on the weekends to put together a profile indexer for Blockstack in a golang implementation.  If you are curious about that or a developer putting together a dApp for Blockstack, this might be a good thing for you.  Go check it out.

In addition, if you are in Portland, Oregon on April 18, 2018, one might find a unique opportunity to talk to a Blockstack engineer – Jack Zampolin – in person.  Remember, Mr. Zampolin will be joining Dan Trevino – Blockstack Evangelist, and Ty George – Souq Developer (cryptocracy) during the Blockstack Portland meetup happening on 4.18.2018.

Previously, we discussed another aspect of promoting and/or supporting Blockstack was through the myriad of Meetups happening worldwide.  Well, a new group – Blockstack Vietnam, is making things happen in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.  Organized by a local and a Blockstack Evangelist.

Blockstack Meetups help provide an additional platform to support the global community of developers, designers, and others working with Blockstack to gather together to talk about not only Blockstack but decentralization (e.g., dApps, blockchain, distributed ledger, bitcoin, blockstack browser (portal)) and many other things associated with Web^{3.0 TM}. Please see this link – Blockstack: Meetups Happening Worldwide…

Today, we continue the discussion about Blockstack Meetups by providing a brief overview of another of the Blockstack Meetups – Blockstack Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City.  Please find below some helpful links and information about Blockstack Vietnam for your review.  I am sure if you are in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and interested in Blockstack, the members of Blockstack Vietnam would welcome your participation.
