“Venture Taranaki is delighted with today’s announcement of the Tourism Communities: Support, Recovery and Re-set Plan from the Minister of Tourism. The Plan will provide much-needed relief for many operators and in the long term help to future-proof Aotearoa’s tourism sector”.

“In particular, we’re delighted that $26 million in funding is allocated to Regional Tourism Organisations, which would enable Venture Taranaki as the regional development agency, to continue to amplify its regional tourism activities”.

“This funding is key to build on the momentum gained through our Strategic Asset Protection Programme (STAPP). This includes visitor futures work, an innovative design thinking future-focused approach shaping future-ready visitor experiences in Taranaki”.

“It’s a significant piece of work that supports Taranaki’s 2050 Roadmap for a low-emissions future and visitor sector action plan, to ultimately support a vibrant region, humming with creativity and hospitality”.

“We look forward to learning how this funding will be rolled out and hope the allocation will be based on a logical approach recognising true regional need and strengths, as the STAPP funding was”.

Entrada welcomes new board chair and independent director

New Zealand-based tourism and transport business Entrada Travel Group has confirmed two changes to its board, following the well-deserved retirement of chairman Graham Heenan.

Paul Bingham joined the board in April 2020 as an independent director and has now accepted the position of Board Chair. He is the current chair of digital marketing platform Shuttlerock, chair and shareholder of BlackCat Cruises in Christchurch, and director of Christchurch NZ. He has also served on the boards of Air New Zealand, Tourism New Zealand and Christchurch & Canterbury Tourism. Paul’s career has spanned marketing roles in a range of companies, and he has been based in Asia, UK and the US before returning to live in his hometown of Christchurch.

Kate Parsons joins the Entrada Board in May as an independent director. A qualified accountant with a strong commercial and financial background, she has held a number of CFO roles. Kate is now focused on advisory and governance roles and is a current director of Mainfreight. Along with her financial skillset, Kate brings strong knowledge in the areas of digital technology and strategy.

New chair Paul Bingham says “This is an exciting time for Entrada Travel Group. The company has weathered the extreme challenges of the last year, and is well positioned for future success and growth as the tourism sector moves towards recovery.

Australian couple on ‘cloud nine’ following skydive proposal in Queenstown

A Sydney couple are on cloud nine following a surprise wedding proposal during an NZONE Skydive jump in Queenstown.

Sydney doctor Nurojan Vivekanandamoorthy and law firm HR specialist Suge Sritharan, both 28, were keen to make the most of the trans-Tasman bubble so booked a four-day break in Queenstown as soon as they were able.

But unbeknown to Suge, Nurojan had marriage on his mind after seven years together.

After persuading Suge to take a 15,000ft jump out of a perfectly good plane, he jumped first so he could be waiting on the ground with a ‘Will you marry me’ banner, flowers, champagne and, of course, the all-important ring.

Thankfully, she said ‘yes’.

“We’ve always wanted to come to New Zealand so when the bubble opened up we booked a trip to Queenstown determined to make the most of our four days,” says Nurojan, who works at Sydney’s Westmead Hospital.

“Queenstown’s the perfect place for a proposal so I had my fingers crossed the weather would be good, although Suge took a bit of persuading to do the jump.

“She had quite a few butterflies but I was relieved and very happy when she landed and said ‘yes’. She was completely taken by surprise!”

Suge was born and raised in Sydney and Nurojan arrived in 2005 from Sri Lanka, so plans are for a big Sri Lankan wedding some time next year.

“We’ll always remember this day and the NZONE experience, and thanks to them for helping make it all happen!”

Skydive Queenstown General Manager Clark Scott says the company “loves nothing better” than a marriage proposal, especially from Australian visitors able to cross the ditch.

“We’ve been seeing small but positive numbers of our Australian friends since the bubble opened, including around 35% of our customers today. We wish Suge and Nurojan all the best for their future together!”

A video of Suge’s flight and the marriage proposal is here

The happy couple planned to round off their day with a soak in an Onsen hot pool followed by dinner, and hopefully fit in a bungy jump before getting back to Sydney on Monday.

Garden City Helicopters launches Heli Winery Tour to Waipara Valley

Taking off from Christchurch, people can leave the car behind and fly into five wineries, all with different personalities and unique wines in the beautiful North Canterbury Waipara Valley wine region right on the doorstep of Christchurch City.

Group Marketing manager for the GCH Aviation Group says ‘Between the Vines’ is a new helicopter experience offered by Garden City Helicopters and while it is targeted at Christchurch locals looking for a new experience on their doorstep, it is also likely to add a new dimension to a Christchurch ‘stay and play’ experience for Australian visitors when the Trans-Tasman corridor opens in a few weeks’ time.

If you think about who else might like to do this trip, it will be a marvellous experience for conference partner programmes or corporate reward and incentive programmes to offer to their clients.

We want to create something that is not currently being offered in this format, showcasing different wineries that offer their stories along with their wines and something that will get people experiencing five boutique wineries during a late morning or afternoon without having to drive.

Collaboration continues to be the key in developing our new helicopter experiences. GCH Aviation’s Christchurch operation, Garden City Helicopters has worked closely with the team at Visit Hurunui to identify the wineries that perfectly align with our product to create this fun new experience.

About GCH Aviation:

Established in 1983, GCH Aviation is the only company to hold the prestigious Helicopter Association of New Zealand Diamond Safety Award for 30+ years continuous service without injury accident to self, passengers, or crew.

GCH Aviation is headquartered in Christchurch at a purpose-built aviation base at Christchurch Airport. With other helicopter bases in Nelson, Kaikoura, Wellington, Vanuatu and Fiji, the company owns more than 30 aircraft and employs over 120 staff across its helicopter and fixed wing aircraft services which as well as tourism flights, also includes certified flight training, air rescue and air ambulance operations. GCH Aviation is the only New Zealand aviation company to be an accredited Virtuoso Travel supplier. ENDS

 

 

 

 

If everything’s correct, the wallet should automatically fill in the “Label”. If not – make sure you compare every letter as there’s a chance you’ve made a mistake. It’s important to note that XSN is a staking only coin and thus cannot be mined. Issuance of new units of currency and production and validation of blocks, is dependent on stakers.

To do so, we first need to create an address to send them to. Click on “Receive XSN”, specify a label for your convenience and click on “Request payment”. There is no recent price data for this coin, because we don’t see trading activity currently. Let’s use a 1-hour candlestick chart as an example of how this type of price chart gives us information about opening and closing prices. The chart is divided into “candles” that give us information about Stakenet’s price action in 1-hour chunks.

But first let’s go over what StakeNet is and what role the masternodes have. The table above shows the number of days which Stakenet closed above a certain price level. If you can’t access the Stake casino website with a VPN, check if its available without it. Look up Stake’s Twitter and other social media for the latest updates. It’s recommended to connect to places like Germany, Austria, and Canada to get full unrestricted access to all Stake games.

Most importantly, you’ll be able to watch in UHD video quality. For them, NordVPN offers access to multiple Netflix libraries plus other streaming platforms unavailable in the US, such as BBC iPlayer. The speeds should be more than enough for watching in UHD video quality. Another pressing concern when gambling online is security. Coincidentally, hackers love websites where there’s actual money waiting to be stolen from unsuspecting users. For the sake of an example, I’ll assume you own 1000 coins.

While Stake does have a global presence and you don’t always need a VPN for it, this service is not available everywhere. Many countries don’t allow this online betting website to set up shop in their regions. You’ve just sent all your small block rewards to the new address/addresses.

Supply information

Click on “Copy address” and open up the exchange’s website where you purchased your coins. Use the link you just copied to send over your coins. I recommend sending only 1 XSN for testing purposes, to make sure everything’s in order. Once you’ve received confirmation that the coin is in your wallet, send over the rest.

The speeds are good and will be even better if your ISP throttles the bandwidth. Android users can also turn on split tunneling and route only the P2P traffic through a VPN tunnel. Everything starts with an AES 256-bit encryption – cracking it would take more than a lifetime. Then we have a robust kill switch, leak protection, and the next-gen WireGuard protocol. While located in the US, Atlas VPN boasts a strict no-logs policy.

In terms of function, StakeNet masternodes are what provide governance and real decentralization to the network. They don’t only confirm transactions and provide instant trading, they will also host and manage the first truly decentralized exchange in the world. The main goal for the masternodes is to create a profit-driven ecosystem and enable implementation of Lighting Network. StakeNet is a decentralized blockchain set-up to render secure inter-chain economy for digital currencies. It’s powered by its digital asset known denominated ” XSN “.

  • The main idea behind staking is earning without investing in expensive hardware compared to traditional Proof of Work cryptos.
  • In the case where your device breaks down suddenly, you’ll be on the safe side and restore access to your earnings easily.
  • For example, if you have 1,000 coins you’ll need to input 999 in the “amount” section.
  • The percent change in trading volume for this asset compared to 7 days ago.

Paying more doesn’t always mean you’re getting everything you need. Cheaper VPN providers often outperform expensive ones by offering excellent speeds and robust tools. Make sure you aren’t throwing money at a sub-par service. Low latency is essential for gambling and betting in the Stake casino. A poor connection might prevent you from taking action before the odds change.

PrivateVPN is a great example of how a really cheap service can offer so much. It unblocks not only Stake in the US but also many other platforms, including streaming websites. That’s a small price, considering that you get unlimited devices stakenet price as well. There’s a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee in case you change your mind. This service is also great for Netflix and other streaming platforms. Hulu + Live TV and HBO Max are just a few on the long list.

As such, it’s only available via exchanges, be that fiat money to crypto or crypto to crypto. My recommendation, as I assume you may just be starting out in the world of digital currencies, https://cryptolisting.org/ is to visit either Cryptopia or Livecoin to obtain XSN. StakeNet masternodes will also receive transaction fees on top of the block rewards once the network goes live on the mainnet.

Click on “Select all” or simply pick out the small values. Next up – gathering all the blocks together as that’s the reason for enabling coin control. Fret not, we’ll provide visual aids for your convenience.

How to Мake Money from StakeNet Masternodes

Luckily, we have a solution for this problem – the best VPNs for Stake. Providers like NordVPN unblock this website and allow safe gambling from anywhere. Coupled with excellent speeds and a massive server fleet, you’re bound to enjoy Stake betting in the US and everywhere else. It’s unlikely that the regulations preventing this crypto gambling website from expanding will be lifted any time soon, if at all. But you can still participate with the right tools, namely – VPNs. Providers like NordVPN will successfully circumvent these geo-blocks and allow you to bet your chips on the winning horse.

stakenet price

Those who want to unblock the Stake casino from the US will be happy to learn that there are options in Mexico City, Toronto, and Montreal as well. All servers belong to PrivateVPN and guarantee high performance. You get six simultaneous connections with an option to expand the limit by installing NordVPN on a router.

Best exchanges to buy Stakenet

If you want to use this option enable it and on the right side enter the amount of staking blocks you want to have. Increasing the actual size of the reward is not doable by the user, lest the network decides as a consensus to increase block rewards. You can, however, increase your chances of winning by optimizing your staking via Coin Control. X – the total supply of coins in the network – 74,000,000 at the moment. Now that we’ve covered the staking setup process, it’s time to explore your potential earnings. In this section, we’ll explore how the reward system works, while later I’ll provide you with a convenient calculator.

For example, if you have 1,000 coins you’ll need to input 999 in the “amount” section. We first need to download the official StakeNet wallet from GitHub and pick the version for your OS. On the first startup, you’ll be asked to pick a destination folder, that’s where you’ll store the blockchain. StakeNet staking is an innovative take on the Proof of Stake consensus algorithm. The percent change in trading volume for this asset compared to 1 hour ago.

Since Stake gambling in the US is blocked, you need a VPN with servers nearby, like Mexico or Canada. It should be able to unblock the Stake casino website, which might detect that you’re using a VPN. Other than that, great connectivity is a must to avoid latency when betting. You get 10 devices per account, which is a good deal. Finally, you can try PureVPN for 7 days ($0.99) or use the 30-day money-back guarantee. If having servers that are all bare-metal means something to you, IPVanish is your VPN for Stake.

Set up a VPS by yourself or ask your hosting provider to do it. In both cases you need to make sure that it has a static/dedicated IP address otherwise it will not be able to function as a masternode. To check Stakenet’s price live in the fiat currency of your choice, you can use Crypto.com’s converter feature in the top-right corner of this page. The market statistics show a rise in StakeNet ’s unit price of 0.89%.
