when will the recording by published? 
Yeah ability to create tokens that can be deposited and used in state channels is really top priority I guess.

Hey @marco.chain,
Unfortunately, we couldn’t record this time, it seems like the room we used could not handle so many participants.
However, our devs will write here the answers they provided during the call.
Best,
Albena
any updates on that front?

Hi,
I have two questions:
-
about two months ago there was some work done on stratum implementation: Sophia and VM Improvements, Preparing for Minerva, and Getting Closer to Stratum Support - how close it is to the usable state?
-
related question: hashing power is centralized between two (three?) pools. Besides Stratum support in node, are there any other plans to help with decentralization? I know aeternity team is not interested in running it’s own pool (Will there be mining pool from ae team? - #2 by vlad.chain) but maybe this should be reconsidered given current status?

@albena.chain I think I still haven’t received answers for the last questions I had. unfortunately it was not possible for me to participate in the public hangouts until now 
can you write down the answers from the last calls where no recording is available?
Sorry, Marco, I’ll ask the developers to address them right away

Regarding state channels. In general – aeternity’s would do most of what Lightning could do if I understand correctly? Definitely from a peer-to-peer standpoint? Is this correct?

Are state channels/off-chain solutions better than VMs which are on-chain? If so why?

I have another question… How many sidechains are currently processing transactions?

Hey @AngelinaPresley, the off-chain scalability solution that æternity is using are state channels - there are no limit to the number of state channels a user can open and use, nor to the transaction processed through the state channel.
Thank you for the explanation, what I was asking was could you please confirm in total how many state channels are currently open and processing transactions at the moment?
