https://stakenet.io/just register there with your email and you will get an notification about when time is ready. Currently it's just possible with TPoS to stake offline with a merchant. If you got any questions left, feel free to join our discord
https://discord.gg/ue7Z3T4Lots of help over there. (I'm not a team member though, but some kind of a community helper/management assistant)

awesome.
is there a list of available merchants already?
and how hard it is to do my own TPos?
I know how to setup VPNs/masternodes using putty already and all.
is that all that I need to become a merchant?
yes! all you need to be your own mercahnt is a vps with a static ipv4 for each tpos contract.
No it isn't hard

if you are already firm with linux, this guide will be to easy for you =D! jump to the command summary at the end of each chapter if you're getting bored =D.
edit: the newest wallet is 1.0.9 - just change all the 1.0.8 commands and the github link into 1.0.9
will check and if i have any question I ask there or here.
not super firm with linux but I can do some basic stuff which may be enough.
