Re: [KOBO] Kobocoin - An African peer to peer payment/micropayment system
QUICK UPDATE
1. Logo done
2. New website underway
3. Kobocoin v2.1.0.3 is now stable and has a 'releases' page for reliable downloads - https://github.com/kobocoin/Kobocoin/releases/tag/v2.1.0.3-stable
4. Kobocoin v2.1.0.3 has a Dockerfile for easy installation for businesses/merchants - https://github.com/kobocoin/dockerfiles/tree/master/v2103-stable
5. We now have a github repo for all Dockerfiles created for kobo services - https://github.com/kobocoin/dockerfiles
6. We now have a Docker hub repo for easy pull requests - https://hub.docker.com/u/kobocoin/
7. Mobile wallet upgrade is in progress
8. Koboseeder (a DNS seeder that will help secure the network even further) is now on github - https://github.com/kobocoin/koboseeder
Dockerfiles is import (imo). All organisations I know are moving to containerised services and It allows us to create modular services. This will allow interested parties to quickly and reliably build any kobo services e.g:
Stunning update Felix and thanks for answering all my previous questions and clarifying, have nothing to add to that.1. Logo done

- Minimal build with Kobocoind only
- Full node with DNS seeder
- Full node with Apache, Insight Explorer, and Node.js
- Full node with Electrum server
It is great to see your github get going again, tbh I have never heard of containers which shows my software weaknesses and thinking this may be over my head, but none the less, will attempt some newbie questions which I hope are not too obvious, please.
1) which block explorer and version does kobocoin currently use?
2) If I want to experiment with the explorer, do I bring in a snap shot of the blockchain or is it an active version, and if so does this mean running 2 containers at once?
3) is the mobile wallet in a container that simulates the android OS and emulates it, is that kind of how it works?
A possible idea for the stake holders supporting the network, is it possible to stake the coins without putting them at risk on a remote server like what a masternode would do? Otherwise the coins are always at risk and this would reduce incentive and number of nodes.
Regards and TIA.
