is it possible to develop merchant credit card processing facility for a chain of grocery stores on stellar? in many ways, grocery store payments are high volume micropayments and i thought stellar may have a solution? we would like to move away from our current payment solution and reduce our costs by developing a solution on an emerging blockchain protocol. how big of an undertaking is a project like this? is it even possible? what would it cost to develop a proof of concept? any thoughts or comments are much appreciated. please way in. thanks

hey guys, with latest price rise we've seen many newcomers joining slack community and asking all kinds of questions. so i think it's worth to tell everyone how it all began. please feel free to correct factual mistakes you spot or suggest additions which you feel important to mention, especially you [@jed](https://galactictalk.org/u/jed), since i'm just an observer from the outside, haven't been obsessed with stalking you and not aware of many details. ![a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away](http://i.imgur.com/ibuzeqx.jpg) i guess it all really started here: <https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=10193.0> ![jed's original post](http://i.imgur.com/gojlrh9.png) ![mike's response](http://i.imgur.com/b4qxrtm.png) mike hearn suggested, that concept is very similar to ripplepay, which according to wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ripple\_(company)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ripple_%28company%29) had been started back in 2004, but i could trace website only to 2006 <https://web.archive.org/web/20060412004047/http://ripple.python-hosted.com:80/> <https://web.archive.org/web/20070702211031/https://ripplepay.com/> <https://web.archive.org/web/20110513085135/https://ripplepay.com/> shortly after that jed and chris larsen founded opencoin, merging concepts of ripplepay with digital currencies. <https://web.archive.org/web/20130420015842/http://opencoin.com:80/> in 2013 opencoin inc rebranded to ripple labs and network got the name ripple, dropping coin from it's name. that was the time when lots of scam coins were created by simply forking bitcoin code and marketing themselves as bitcoin successor. that was very smart for ripple to break this association, especially it has never been based on bitcoin codebase. another smart move was introduced late in 2013: ripple started giveaway awarding people for participating in [world community grid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/world_community_grid). for the user it looks like mining: you contribute your processing power for the good cause and get rewarded in xrp. then in 2014 jed is less involved in ripple, stefan thomas becomes cto. there are rumours, that jed is working on something else ![secret bitcoin project](http://i.imgur.com/15xesze.png) conflict between founders is growing. i've heard one version of it, don't really know if that's true: - when ripple was founded 80% of tokens were given to ripplelabs for operations and distribution and 20% to founders - it was a major holding back factor for adoption, causing concerns of investors and banks. then jed proposed to give up founder's share, but chris refused to do that. so jed publishes following message on forum: ![selloff message](https://i.imgur.com/blpmiwd_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=high) which makes xrp price go 40% down. jed ended up keeping his share, but people blamed him for losing money due to his announcement. later we got to know that jed and joyce kim founded new non-profit stellar development foundation and announced fork of ripple network. <http://www.coindesk.com/mt-gox-ripple-founder-jed-mccaleb-unveils-project-stellar/> giveaway was promised to ripple users who had xrp in may 2014 to make it up for losses due to fallen xrp price. also stellar started giveaway to all new users based on unique facebook accounts. problems in ripple protocol were discovered shortly due to increased transaction volumes. developers decided to rebuild the protocol from scratch. after few months they came up with [new consensus protocol](https://www.stellar.org/papers/stellar-consensus-protocol.pdf) and started developing new stellar core. in november 2015 new network has been launched. and development continues since.

"<https://www.youtube.com/embed/ssybs-rco00>" 1. general description and background - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - description: cripto conserje will drive adoption of crypto payments for merchants in latam through pos hardware, training and customer support. the goal of cripto conserje and its strategic partners is to help cΓΊcuta, colombia become the first city in the world to reach 50% crypto adoption, meaning that 50% or more of the local merchants have a crypto-enabled pos (point of sale) system and in doing so developing a framework for cryptocurrency merchant adoption entering different cities in latam. - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - goal statement: our goal is to empower local economic actors such as merchants and individuals by providing financial tools that increase liquidity and facilitate means of exchange. we do this through the use of digital assets and grass-roots educational training. in addition to providing direct humanitarian relief to refugees throughout latin america, our aim is to encourage adoption and to stimulate economic activity. in order for crypto-adoption to take place, local merchants must be trained and encouraged to accept crypto as a form of payment. this requires a multi-faceted approach. table 1: general description (see google doc link) build value key objectives 1. short term milestones launch crypto education hub in cΓΊcuta. in partnership with south american initiative, cripto conserje has acquired land to build a community center near cΓΊcuta. complete merchant adoption pilot program, targeting 100 participating merchants. improve testing environment and questionnaires with enhanced features such as an automatic reward system based on user experience and knowledge base acquired offer financial access via sms by 3rd party service provider cointigo.io (see key partners for more details) create educational material; training videos and in-site programs / fast-tracks advertising and marketing live support and online helpdesk for crypto asset management. repeat model with merchants outside of cΓΊcuta. 2. long term milestones achieve +50% crypto adoption in a major city in latin america provide support and aid to economically distressed populations living in cΓΊcuta, colombia, especially venezuelan refugees prove cryptocurrencies are a workable form of digital cash establish a successful and safe business operation that is can be easily replicated future services include: help desk for clients and merchants (regarding issues with wallets, exchanges, etc…) consulting and continued education (such as crypto asset management courses, walking the client through things like staking, masternodes, and automated trading such as index strategies, lending, etc.) fiat exchanges as a service at pos regional overview: colombia is among the countries in latin america with the highest trading volumes of bitcoin (digital asset). despite this high volume of trading, few businesses in the region accept cryptocurrencies as a means of payment. there are several explanations for this which include but are not limited to: lack of trusted service providers limited knowledge base and β€œknow-how” ambiguous legal framework the venezuelan diaspora in cΓΊcuta presents a unique opportunity for these types of projects. typical crypto asset volatility pales in comparison to the high currency inflation of the bolivar. a decentralized system, that functions trust-free, is perfect for a displaced population that has limited access to financial services such as banking, savings, and credit. our main objective is to align the right economic incentives to encourage self-governing communities and autonomous projects, as well as the right educational material and leadership to gain the interest of regional communities. cripto conserje strives to bring financial freedom to latin america, a region comprised of more than 20 countries with a population of 650 million people. the regional gdp represents over $10t, however 45% of the population is unbanked. there is a strong need for digital assets adoption in latin america, particularly among venezuelans who are suffering under one of the most dramatic economic crises in recent history. our initial scope is a three-tier program to increase adoption in cΓΊcuta. online testing environment: we will deploy an online test environment to measure the effectiveness of educational training and workshops. after participants and merchants receive technical training, they will take a simple questionnaire to measure the knowledge base and demonstrate a basic understanding of the technology. once the questionnaire is completed, a paper wallet will be generated and automatically funded with cryptocurrency. merchant onboarding: we will onboard 100 local merchants to begin accepting digital assets as payments using on-site training and digital assets capable point of sales equipment. end-user adoption: after merchants are onboarded, we will work with them and local community organizers to distribute 300.000 paper wallets to people living in cΓΊcuta. individuals can use these paper wallets at participating merchants for food and other basic goods. key partners cripto conserje has key partners working on the initial alpha project. their support is critical to launching a three-pronged approach to increase crypto adoption in cΓΊcuta. if you would like to get involved, please contact us. cointigo is a group of engineers who provide a service where you can send & receive crypto currencies over sms, no smartphone or internet needed!, accept cryptocurrencies in your business, make crypto payments without internet or become a crypto/local currency exchange in your area in seconds. much of the construction of cripto conserje is thanks to them. welcome to β€œlayer0” <http://cointigo.io/> south american initiative ngo is the second largest (red cross is first) ngo in venezuela to supply orphanages, hospitals, and desperate families with food, medicine, and shelter. sai began operating in venezuela providing humanitarian aid to hospitalized patients, orphaned children, the homeless, elderly who have been abandoned and forgotten in nursing homes and families who do not have shelter or food to eat. it has the only medical program offering help to the epileptic children of venezuela. <https://sai.ngo/> toshl is a budgeting app that is accessible both via a web-based app and on virtually any mobile device. toshl’s goal is to make money fun, so they’ve set up a friendly user interface to help you evaluate past spending habits, get a snapshot of your current finances, build realistic budgets for the future, and even remind you when bills are due. they will be donating their pro subscription to all of our clients a $20 per year subscription. giving our vendors the ability to link unlimited accounts and create unlimited budgets, they’ll also be able to upload pictures of receipts. <https://toshl.com/>. 2. project description: project demarcation: cripto conserje has been in operation since april of 2018. we have conducted eight successful training workshops with merchants, paper wallets and different points of sales. we are one of the few projects tackling this problem with local team leads on the ground. we are currently at the second tier of our project. digital assets can provide economic stability throughout latin america, particularly in places such as venezuela where communities are suffering from severe shortages of food and medicine. our vision is to achieve 50% crypto adoption in major cities like bogota, mexico city, and buenos aires. we report the results of our events and also record videos of the event in progress before the data are in, so that we can be accountable for the results. we also run smaller, non-experimental tests to learn more about what works best and how different types of recipients spend funds they receive. this was how we began our project with 2 paper wallets and an informal merchant. defining the scope of the current project: market adoption strategy we want to establish security and sustainability for this cryptocurrency project. in order for a cryptocurrency to be used as a daily use currency, there must be a reliable ecosystem to support both supply and demand. determine market share adoption process identify the need for crypto pos systems among local merchants food medicine houses and renting critical adoption locations market pharmacies landlords we plan to establish decentralized finance or β€œdefi” accounts and other forms of passive income like hosting masternodes as a method of cash flow generation and volatility mitigation for the client (merchants). this will help grow the network and users of cryptocurrency in colombia and eventually throughout latin america. crypto education hub: a partnership with south american initiative & cripto censerje institute sai & cripto conserje are building a facility in colombia to educate and train venezuelan refugees crossing the border. education is critical so that refugees can learn skills, gain employment and integrate into the local economy. . total facility size will be between 2,500 sq. ft. to 3,500 sq. ft. this facility will allocate 50% of the space for cripto conserje that will allow for cryptocurrency education and additional vocational training to help latin americans achieve their goals of independent living in colombia. timeline 6-months to 1-year for construction depending on construction permits, resource allocation, and site selection. 1. this timeline begins q1 2020 2. land purchase. [final stages] 3. permits 1-3 months for government approval. [in process] 4. blueprint design and resource allocation [complete] 5. sai will provide staffing for its portion to operate the facility estimated education hub budget (see google doc link) event-related costs funded crypto wallets $5-10 per person assuming the goal of 300,000 wallets would thus require total funding of $1,500,000 to $3,000,000 * materials for interior customization and furniture will be additional costs and depend on cripto conserje design and specification. sai will provide β€˜ready-to-use’ office space. cripto conserje will furnish remaining spaces for training and local offices. training workshops budget: the next phase of this project already underway will cost $15,000 usd. these funds will cover developer costs, hardware, shipping, and merchant training sessions. table 2: budget for the requirements (see google doc link) 3. additional notes customer pain points: crypto concierge focuses on helping local merchants set up and manage a crypto-payment solution. below the three-pronged approach herein has been tabularized and will be used to address the customers key pain points. table 4: focus points program pain point process 1. education unfamiliar with technology, particularly crypto-wallet management educational material training videos training programs help desk 2. hardware/ software lack of access to hardware systems and solutions to accept crypto-payments pos tablets for merchants wallets hot and cold storage devices payment application 3. business and financial services expand customer base, capture the wider market, convert digital assets into fiat strategy consulting fiat exchanges in store/ location marketing operations: market/ merchant adoption is our primary objective. establishing security and sustainability for a crypto project means getting off the exchanges. the evolution from being a β€œtrader coin” or store of value to being a daily use currency means building belief at the intersection of supply and demand. we are proposing a project that empowers local merchants to use crypto. these services include: tools: personalized/custom sms pos, toshl, (see key partners for more details) cryptocurrency wallets educational material: in the form of training videos and in-person programs advertising and marketing merchant maps, filter by type (storage facilities, drug stores, markets, etc…) commercialization: in store/ location marketing of crypto pos (use of qr stickers in retail) live support and online helpdesk for crypto asset management. future services include: help desk for clients and merchants (regarding issues with wallets, exchanges, etc…) consulting and continued education (such as crypto asset management courses, walking the client through things like staking, masternodes, and automated trading such as index strategies, lending, etc.) fiat exchanges as a service at pos 4. conclusion & desired outcomes crypto conserje’s project is aligned with the mission of the broader crypto-community: contributing to humanity through innovation. our partners will gain brand awareness and user adoption in the emerging crypto-market of latam. ultimately, crypto conserje hopes this project will alleviate the humanitarian and economic crisis faced by the people of cΓΊcuta by giving them an alternative payment system. finally, we hope this project turns into a blueprint for entering different cities in latam. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bz8heuhtyfjb0v_ji0jddfqerjedboed7mfnyki0cps/edit?usp=sharing> [criptoconserje.com](www.criptoconserje.com)

hey, i was wondering if it was possible or whether there are techniques to build a dpos project on stellar. on ethereum this can be achieved by a smart contract that handles **staking** tokens into validator pools, **slashing** these tokens from a validator pool if the validator misbehaves and distributing **dividends** to stakers to incentivize staking. is such a system possible on stellar in a trustless way? are there similar systems running on stellar? thanks!

as scf round 4 winners collect their prizes and go on to make their entries even more wonderful and profitable we begin round 5. there are a few new and adjusted rules i’d like to highlight before releasing your creative and entrepreneurial spirits into the wild. **first in the β€œsubmission template” section be sure and leave the β€œbefore colon:” stuff and only replace the content to the right of the colon. we use the "prefix titles:" as regex triggers for the [voting site](https://stellarcommunity.fund/).** next, three β€œparticipant eligibility” updates: 1. you may only win scf a maximum of once per year (block of 4 rounds). while you can resubmit β€˜losing’ proposals, individuals who submit new proposals after winning 1 scf challenge within the current year will be disqualified from consideration for the award. 2. β€˜losing’ proposals may only re-enter twice per year, pending there are improvements to the entry. 3. the scf is a fund for work completed or proven not for a promise of future work. for applications and content there must be significant work and effort put into proving the viability and commitment to your project and for events you should have a history demonstrating your ability and qualification to carry out your intentions. **rules 1 and 2 are pretty significant changes so those new rules will go into effect now but will not be enforced until round 6.** that’s it for updates! on to the rest of the details! round schedule -------------- may 25th – submissions open june 22nd – submissions close, discussion opens july 20th – nominations open july 27th – nominations close, 1 week pause aug 3rd – final vote begins aug 10th – final vote finishes, round ends, 1 week pause --- the stellar community fund (scf) gives the broader stellar community the opportunity to vote on which long term projects they believe deserve sdf seed funding. any project built on stellar can apply and participate! every 3 months, 8 participants have the chance to split a pool of 3 million lumens.
 timeline -------- each scf round consists of 4 phases covering 13 weeks.Β  ### the submission phase during this phase, participants submit their proposals toΒ [galactictalk.org](https://galactictalk.org/). late submissions will not be eligible for the current round. the submission phase lasts 4 weeks. ### the discussion phase the discussion phase is the participation and learning phase. discussion and community participation is highly encouraged. it is fundamentally the most important part of the stellar community fund. not only does it give participants valuable feedback, it allows them to position themselves as advocates for their proposal and overall growth of the ecosystem.
 this round is strictly dedicated to the sharing and discussion of project proposals within the community. community members should take this time to ask participants questions about their proposals, submit suggestions, and engage with any active elements. the discussion phase lasts 4 weeks.Β  ### the nomination phase this is the first round of voting. stellar community members will vote for their favorite project proposals. each voter must select 3 entries but can vote on up to 8 different entries. the top 8 nominees move to the final vote phase.
 nomination takes place over 2 weeks. there will be a one week pause after the nomination phase before the final vote begins. ### the final vote in this phase, the top 8 proposals enter a final vote which guides the lumen distribution. voters choose their 3 favorite proposals from the top 8. 
 lumens are distributed based on the final percentage of the votes. for example, if a winning project receives 20% of the vote, they will receive 20% of the awarded lumens (600,000xlm of the 3m xlm pool).
 the final vote phase lasts 1 week and there will be a one week gap before each new round begins.
 proposal submission ------------------- all proposals should be submitted as a new thread to galactictalk.org under the scf |Β [proposals category](https://galactictalk.org/t/proposals). proposals should be classified by category. are you building an application, writing a resource, or planning an event? choose appropriately. below are category descriptions. ### applications, tools & infrastructure this is the β€˜developer’ category. if your project is built on stellarβ€”or is a tool that supports developing on stellarβ€”your proposal belongs here. all submissions to this category must have a functional / live element. for example: if you are creating a library, you must have reviewable code; if you are building an application, people must be able to demo it. ### resources & content this is the category for people who want to flex their creative muscles. do you have a great series of tutorials, a podcast, or website that can help educate people about stellar? if so, your proposal fits within this category.Β  this category requires drafts or rough cuts of your proposed content. people must be able to read and review your submitted samples. ### events & programs this is the category for broader stellar outreach. are you planning on hosting a workshop or community-driven program? if so, this is the category for you. this category requires that you share a plan for execution. depending on the scope of this effort you will need to provide items such as proposed venues, curriculum, timelines, guests, costs, etc. submission template ------------------- image:Β 1200x630 image preview of your project or brand title:Β the name of your project. (please adhere to the stellarΒ [brand policy](https://www.stellar.org/brand-policy)) summary:Β a simple sentence summarizing the why of your project category:Β choose one the three categories (applications, tools & infrastructure | resources & content | events & programs) goals:Β what your project plans to accomplish broken down by objectives description:Β the description should answer questions like β€œwhat does your project enable users to do?” β€œwhy is your project valuable for stellar?” and β€œhow does your project use stellar?” it should also cover what platforms the project supports (ex; windows, chrome, etc.) and relevant documentation.Β this section should be very detailed. links:Β links to your application, code repository, supporting materials, and/or home site. if you are submitting a proposal for content pieces (like walkthroughs), please provide links to the content pieces. tags:Β tag your project. examples can be β€œsdk, javascript, party, game, book, event, etc.”  
 voting ------ voting will take place in two rounds. a nomination round and an award round.Β  voting takes place onΒ [stellarcommunity.fund](https://stellarcommunity.fund). submission eligibility ---------------------- applicable law and our internal policies restrict us from providing lumen awards for certain categories of projects. if your project is in one of our prohibited categories, it will not be eligible for an award. if you are unsure whether your project falls inside these one or more of these categories, please contact us and verify!
 regardless of the community’s voting outcome, a submission will be ineligible to receive an award if it:
 * violates any applicable laws, regulations, orders, judgments, decrees, guidance, or other legal authority; * involves, facilitates, supports, or promotes unlawful activities, including, but not limited to: fraud, drug trafficking, purchases on dark web markets, theft, illegal arms trafficking, human trafficking, abduction, extortion, embezzlement, corruption of public officials, acts of terrorism or terrorist financing, and intellectual property violations; * involves, facilitates, or promotes gambling; * is offensive, deceptive, harmful, or libelous; * is or contains sexually obscene content; * is discriminatory or abusive toward any individual or group; * contains, transmit, or instills malware or phishing pages or devices; or * infringes or violates any proprietary right of any party, including patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of privacy, right of publicity, or other rights. participant eligibility ----------------------- sdf intends to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the distribution of lumen awards. all winners will be required to submit kyc documentation and fill out an applicable tax form. failure to submit appropriate documentation or failure to pass our kyc checks will result in your rewards being forfeit. these tax forms will be used for accounting and tax reporting purposes so please be aware of your country’s applicable laws regarding tax-filing. lumens will be reported at closing price on the day they are sent to you.
 you must be at 18 years of age to participate in scf, unless your country's minimum age for receiving a cryptocurrency award is older, in which case you must meet the minimum age applicable in your jurisdiction. 
 you may only win scf a maximum of once per year (block of 4 rounds). while you can resubmit β€˜losing’ proposals, individuals who submit new proposals after winning 1 scf challenge within the current year will be disqualified from consideration for the award. 
 winning entries will not be eligible for future rounds. β€˜losing’ proposals may re-enter twice per year, pending there are improvements to the entry.
 currentΒ [ecosystem infrastructure grant](https://www.stellar.org/foundation/mandate#ecosystem-support)Β recipients are not eligible to participate in scf. the scf is a fund for work completed or proven not for a promise of future work. for applications and content there must be significant work and effort put into proving the viability and commitment to your project and for events you should have a history demonstrating your ability and qualification to carry out your intentions. 
 participants who create fake accounts to bypass the above rules will be disqualified. this is regardless of whether or not they win a round. participants who leverage sockpuppet accounts to submit proposals, friends to submit proposals, or any similar β€˜act of bad faith’ will be disqualified. sdf has the right to withhold awards from people who have abused these eligibility requirements.
 unfortunately, if you’re a national or resident of cuba, iran, north korea, syria, sudan, or the region of crimea, we are unable to send you any lumens. additionally, we may also be unable to send lumens to winners in countries where local law makes it unlawful for residents to hold or receive cryptocurrencies. please note, we currently cannot send lumens to residents of the us states of alabama, new york, georgia, connecticut, new mexico, hawaii, vermont, and washington.
 all participants will retain the intellectual property associated with their submission.
 engaging in vote manipulation will cause your proposal to be disqualified. this includes botspam, fake/sock puppet accounts, and brigading.
 manipulation and disqualification --------------------------------- what we're looking for is organic, genuine interest and discussion around your project. foster and encourage that. be kind and supportive to your fellow competitors.Β  don’t ask for votes.Β  instead, ask others to simply take a look for themselves.
 feel free to share a direct link to your galactictalk post with your friends or users, but don’t mass-message strangers, or attempt to "game" the system in any way.Β  people should vote for entries they genuinely like or find interesting, not because they were peer pressured or incentivized to do so. 
 while this is a community fund, the sdf retains the right to disqualify entries and timeout participants without warning or explanation in order to maintain a fair and profitable experience for everyone.Β  if we find you’re acting in bad faith, we may bar you from participating in future rounds as well.

summary:\n\n\nai-fi.net is to lead the way in bringing about self-sufficiency for individuals to live their cyber life privately and securely and to transition away from the prevailing surveillance capitalism we know today.\n\n\n### category:\n\n\napplications, tools & infrastructure\n\n\n### goals:\n\n\n![](https://ai-fi.net/static/img/free.png)\n\n\n### description:\n\n\n\"there is no cloud, just other people's computers\", runs the joke. unfortunately, those \"other people's computers\" in the core of the internet have been monopolized by a very limited few, many of whom operate the cloak and dagger \"free services\". the only way to break up this blockade is to take matters into our own hands and mobilize our computers and already-paid-for bandwidth for private interconnectivities. the re-architected and blockchain-reinforced cloud infrastructure of ai-fi.net aims to **invert** the internet and allows us to connect with one another without resorting to the traditional approach that almost always involves certain service providers as go-betweens.\n\n\njoin us in taking the first step to defund the prevailing surveillance capitalism by withholding our private data from facebook, google, whatsapp, telegram, wechat, etc. without sacrificing much of our social interactions we have grown accustomed to. taking advantage of the latest advances in universal p2p connectivity, end-to-end encryption (for both online and offline sessions), personal/home clouds, file sync over multiple personal devices, ai-fi helps individuals take advantage of this rewired and inverted internet running over this ai-fi infrastructure. the newly envisioned internet will be rid of surveillance, individual-centric, privacy-preserving, and above all, serving us netizens honestly. it is made possible by the latest blockchain technology, digital asset management, anonymous micropayment channels, rapidly sliding hardware cost, and the concerted effort by the open source community.\n\n\nwe share the same vision as all the dapps, except that we have blazed a trail though the wilderness so that your privacy and identity will be fully protected without compromising the public/immutable nature of the blockchain. we realize that to rewire and to invert the internet for \"the rest of us\" takes monumental effort. we'd like to claim we have successfully demonstrated its feasibility with the release of ai-fi version 2.0, which is already highly usable, with secureemail (end-to-end encrypted, even when the recipient is offline, without demanding our users to adopt a new email address), homecloud (self-owned servers in your private home, but accessible worldwide), photo upload/sync (without subscribing and paying icloud or other clouds). our release 2.0 is a demo release with the foundational supports for building a open pseudonymous service platform so users may run their social networking on their own servers and devices privately. it is architected for ease of integrating with other open sources such as matrix.org, mattermost, home assistant for iot (which is partially integrated as smarthome), etc, in order to reduce our reliance on facebook, whatsapp, wechat, and the like.\n\n\nsince ai-fi services are completely account-less, purposely designed not to track its users or collect any personal metadata, it needs to be a fee-based pay-as-you-go service. we'd like to consider us as an \"over the counter\", cash only services. we adopt the stellar network for its low transaction fees and ease of interfaces through horizon apis. the stellar fee requirement also helps prevent bad actors from spamming the ai-fi network or launching ddos attack. the public ai-fi root registry for digital asset management takes full advantage of the stellar event-stream mechanism for real-time asset auditing and protection. the ai-fi homecloud will host the stellar core at least on the watcher level. it may be scaled up to participate as full validator as well. in future release, ai-fi users will be one-click away from having an integrated hardware wallet (tbd) and stellar core. we'd like to consider the ai-fi architecture as an enabler for a large number of stellar core nodes, which enhance the security and robustness of any blockchain-based services.\n\n\nour payment scheme is yet to be fully developed. although we will rely on stellar network for supporting various aspects of our current payment design, the goal of becoming a completely \"over the counter\" cash-like anonymous micropayment platform is a tall order. even after rid of the account contraption, the \"follow the money\" attack will be a challenge without additional facilities. we are currently prototyping an experimental payment scheme building on multiple cryptocurrencies and crypto exchanges. there are a bit more details in our roadmap about this effort (with link in the next section).\n\n\nas the primary goal of ai-fi project is to reinvent the internet, it naturally sets its sights on all internet platforms. in release 2.0, our mobile client runs on newer apple ios (iphones and ipad) platforms, our desktop extension on windows 10, and ai-fi homecloud on any linux server or cloud ipc. the support for android mobile phones should be made available shortly. check out our roadmap to see other platforms and major functions slated for follow-on releases.\n\n\nalthough our web site is not as refined as it should be, it reflects our vision and is a call to action aimed at those of us who care about the future of internet. upon the advent of the iot revolution, the protection of our privacy and the need for a new decentralized internet infrastructure takes on a renewed urgency. join our effort and share our vision to reinvent the internet as we know it.\n\n\n### links:\n\n\n[ai-fi.net](https://ai-fi.net)\n\n\n[have fun with our bug bounty program and earn 10k

be as seamless and straight forward as possible. leaving too much clicking and exploring outside galactictalk is a big ask when there are this many entries. i will be reaching out to these projects individually with my critique.\n\n\nif you aren't in either of these lists now is not the time to rest. keep improving and marketing your efforts. make it easy to understand and \"get\" your idea. we've got a pretty sizeable pool of entries this round and the results will largely be determined by your ability to quickly sell your idea to a busy but educated community. be very detailed and

progress of the stellar community fund.\n\n\n❀️ you all, onwards to the discussion phase!\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "we at ai-fi.net are not sure if this is the right place for the discussion. let me know if this is not and then we will find a different venue for it.\n\n\nwe have been working on the project for about two years now. it is designed to be a privacy-centric network (internet) infrastructure such that users may construct their own social networks (most are inherently private), cloud storage or servers, personal vpn (for smart homes), and all other internet functions that need not be hosted in public services (facebook, wechat, homekit, etc.). we'd like to do this without being part of the surveillance capitalism and without demanding the account registration from our users, much like the bitcoin/stellar distributed ledger architecture. with this goal in mind, we pretty much need to fund it on fees and the service charges on our users are going to be on a per transaction basis which is naturally \"micro\" in nature. cryptocurrencies are the only technology that will make this micropayment service scheme possible.\n\n\nwe think collecting cryptocurrencies as service charges is fairly straightforward. however, collecting them in an anonymous way is quite an another thing. we have put off this effort to the next release with some [decent ideas on how that can be done](https://ai-fi.net/roadmap.html). however, for the current release, we have built [a system based on stellar network for managing the digital assets](https://ai-fi.net/index.html#dasset). we have put together a mechanism such that some digital assets may be published over [ai-fi root registry](https://ai-fi.net/help/rootregistry.html), which is protected and tied to stellar network accounts that may be publicly accessed but privately audited and protected, much like that for [certificate transparency](https://www.certificate-transparency.org/), but self-managed by individual asset owners. we have implemented this protection mechanism for users' email addresses by taking advantage of the stellar network blockchain without re-inventing the wheel like the certificate transparency architecture. this stellar based root registry supports the encryption of our end-to-end secureemail and protects our users' public identity from theft.\n\n\nour secureemail takes advantage of the stellar network to protect one of our most important cyber identities and deliver the end-to-end encryption to emails, the most popular software in the world, without requiring an ai-fi service account and/or the need to start out with a new mailbox/provider. our contribution to the dapp industry is the implementation of the secureemail that cleanly separates the public aspects (e.g email address and pre-key store) from the private (email content and metadata). this has not been possible without the help of the stellar/blockchain technologies. we want to make sure if this is the thing you deemed as \"doesn't seem to have stellar implemented in any meaningful way\".\n\n\nby the way, to support the various privacy-centric utilities and services without demanding an account (trackable), we need to re-invent just about everything. the [\"krypton token\"](https://ai-fi.net/help/anonymouscloudstorage.html) is one of them, which is a bit counter-intuitive and needs our users to pay more attention to it. this is why we concocted our \"bug bounty\" program to put money where our mouth is. the bounty happens to be in stellar lumens, which is probably something you want to encourage. this absolutely does not imply we will use the grant solely to fund the bounty program.\n\n\nall in all, we think we have utilized stellar in a very significant way, delivered our secureemail to protect the world's most popular software regardless of the email providers, integrated with a powerful file sync utility (nextcloud), and accomplished all these with anonymity totally in line with the spirit of dapp without demanding an account sign-up. hidden in this 2.0 release are those foundational supports critical to all other upper-layer applications, not immediately obvious to ordinary user. there are many exciting features to come in future releases, especially the anonymous micropayment design slated in 3.0 that we are very proud of.\n\n\nplease don't construe this reply as a demand for reconsideration. nevertheless, we would appreciate if you can answer some of the points raised here. we are doing some great stuff, but its broad scope makes it difficult for us to evangelize it. stellar as a payment/exchange infrastructure will be a great help to our cause and we want to be part of it.\n\n\nwe have constructed an infrastructure which is difficult to encapsulate in our short proposal to your scf program. we do have a website containing write-ups and documents that attempt to explain us more. we also have released a mobile client ai-fi central and a sync cloud ai-fi homecloud client in the apple app store, a home server runnable on raspberry pi 4, and an ai-fi desktop extension on windows platforms. we are doing over a large number of internet applications, based on an over-the-counter, pay-as-you-go payment scheme and many foundational supports underneath. the best way to understand us is to try out our applications first hand to see for yourself whether or not we are the real thing and or we have stellar implemented in a meaningful way.\n\n\nthanks for your time.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[bryonsato](https://galactictalk.org/d/2380/41)\n\n\nthank you for your detailed and professional response. i personally appreciate being able to discuss these issues openly and respectfully.\n\n\nthe stellar community fund is just that, a fund for the community to take part in distributing lumens. this leads to some powerful and incredible opportunities while also presenting some unique challenges and obstacles. one of the obvious challenges with a community vote is that it's the community evaluating. a busy community. a community with other full time jobs and responsibilities. a community that cares but has other things to do. aside from a time constraint you also have an expertise constraint and while many of the community are engineers, business developers and entrepreneurs, many of them are not, yet we should all have a say and voice in allocating an informed opinion towards the projects we care the most about.\n\n\nin order to best serve the voters we disqualify projects which aren't obviously relevant to the mission of the scf. too much cognitive and time load for any one entry is grounds for a disqualification. there are other factors too like unacknowledged legal liability, deep unforeseen technical challenges, just being off topic, etc. all of which we carefully consider but we intentionally *don't* give extremely deep or overly careful consideration for each individual project simply because voters won't either. if we don't \"get it\" quickly, neither will the voters, ultimately siphoning valuable time and mental energy away from other entries. this was the case with your project. what little stellar there seemed to be was buried in so much other stuff which, while interesting, we were unable to grasp quickly.\n\n\nthe simple answer is you shouldn't support something you don't understand and for the scf if it cannot be understood quickly and simply it's going to have a hard time competing and must result in a disqualification in order to refine the entry pool.\n\n\nevery round we iterate, improve and come back stronger and better able to serve the purpose of the scf. a big goal of mine for the future is to allow for better support of complex and technically mature entries like yours to compete and receive the support and feedback they need to win while still providing a space for experimentation and exploration of new ideas.\n\n\nall told if i were to sum it up the scf is made up of three ingredients. stellar, community and fund. eligible entries must have stellar as the key ingredient, carefully explained and marketed to the community. then and only then will entries be eligible to participate for a chance at the funds.\n\n\npersonally i'm intrigued by your project and i sincerely hope you'll join us in a future round with a refined and focused entry. i apologize for the confusion and disappointment and it is my hope to continuously improve the scf to be able to avoid these kinds of conversations in the future. your professionalism and tact is greatly appreciated and i hope you choose to stick around.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\n\nfwiw if you're able to achieve a sort of anonymous micro transactions service like [coil](https://coil.com/), packaged as a standalone service,

participation and care around the scf. this is truly a community fund and i want to always foster that core value. we are also a fund however and giving away any money but especially a lot of money comes with a pretty large set of challenges. regardless of how you feel right now though the sdf and this community has done a good job with the sbc and scf. could we do better? absolutely. never be duped though into thinking we don’t care, aren’t intentional or are just throwing money away carelessly. that is not true and never has been. good projects have come out of the sbc and scf. tools and apps we use every day, people you know, talk to and appreciate. for some, like me, it has actually changed our lives entirely. the community funding programs the sdf has put on have been phenomenal. it’s incredibly difficult to give money away well in a public or decentralized way but our efforts have not gone unrewarded. please don’t lose the forest for the few trees which didn’t make it. every scf has gotten better and scf 2.0 will continue those improvements in a more concerted and exponential way. i’m here for you if you all will continue to be there for each other and this fund. keep showing up, voicing your opinions respectfully and pushing this program into better and better places. we are a growing and maturing community, remember this is not just about you and your project, it’s bigger than that.\n\n\nwith that said, in the spirit of transparency i would like to take this opportunity to pull back the curtain on the numbers and criteria of the scf nomination voting process. let’s kick things off with a graph:\n\n\n![](http://tyler.link/bzlwjs+)\n\n\nthe first thing to notice is that nomination participation in this round has nearly tripled compared to previous rounds. that’s a huge jump. the next obvious thing to notice is that vote removal is on a very aggressive exponential curve upwards while the leftover valid votes have remained relatively static. one thing this chart doesn’t show is that our criteria for removing votes has always stayed the same throughout all of these rounds. up until now we’ve chosen not to publish those criteria as that would make circumventing those criteria much easier. i’ve had a hunch for a while that a day would come where our criteria and the verification process we’ve been using would crack and we’d see the exponential curve we saw this round. this is why scf 2.0 is so essential for the survival of the scf. a panel of judges is necessary for the nomination phase and better voting mechanics is essential to help counteract, not just catch bad actors. suffice it to say we’re not going to be using keybase verification anymore, it’s entirely insufficient for distinguishing between malicious and new voters. it’s relatively high friction for participation yet that friction doesn’t assist us much in helping to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate voters.\n\n\nour criteria for voter disqualification for every round has been:\n\n\n* duplicate ips with sufficient account profile evidence to suggest they could be the same person\n* all accounts created on or after the round announcement date with zero proofs, no bio info, no additional devices and which only voted for 3 projects\n* all accounts created during the nomination week\n\n\nthese criteria all have significant flaws but they are right for keybase as a verification method. duplicate ips could just be a roommate voting for his buddies app which would be fine, but they could also be indicative of a click farm or the same fellow once on his laptop and again on his phone or tablet. i'm fine with the roommates, but click farms and multiple devices from the same person is cheating. the issue is i can't know for certain, and that's the rub, you can rarely know for certain, you can only give it your best guess and lean on the most fair side. disqualifying all accounts created on or after the round announcement date is hardly fair but if the account in question has added zero social proofs, no bio info, only has the single device and only voted for 3 projects, that’s a very strong signal they could have been paid, coerced or manipulated into voting for a specific project. removing all new keybase accounts during the nomination week doesn’t actually remove many votes, but it's pretty obvious if you're only now creating an account, you don't care about anything but voting for a single project which a) means two of your votes are meaningless throw away votes or b) could mean you've been paid, coerced or manipulated into voting for that specific project.\n\n\nthe final and primary glaring issue with these criteria is they get weaker and weaker over time as sock puppet accounts get older, add fake proofs, bios and devices. accounts that were caught in previous rounds get harder and harder to detect appropriately and soon most votes won’t mean anything as the majority will have to be removed in order to ensure fairness leaving only a select handful of original β€œverified” accounts. aka a panel of judges. what scf 2.0 will do for the nomination phase is simply formalizing the inevitable. i want to include more voters, i want to lower the barrier to entry. i want friends and family who don’t care about keybase and adding proofs and all this mumbo jumbo to be able to participate, and they will, just not in the nomination phase. once the right projects are in, actually distributing the prize pool becomes much more straightforward and traditionally has seen orders of magnitude less vote removal anyway.\n\n\nso in scf 2.0 between a panel of judges for the nomination phase and sms voter verification we’ll be in a much better place to ensure the most fair and still inclusive community fund.\n\n\ni feel for those projects caught in the crossfire of this imperfect process but there is no perfect open online voting system. what we have has actually worked incredibly well, the top 8 actually usually doesn’t shift much beyond a few projects. i’m also not accusing anyone of manipulation and neither should you. oftentimes we just fall victim to a bigger process which attempts to make the best of a tough situation. if it smells like a bot, acts like a bot and looks like a bot that doesn’t mean it is but we have no choice but to treat it like it is.\n\n\nfinally if any entrant would like to know their own numbers in this round pm me and i’d be happy to share. i’m choosing not to publish those numbers here publicly in order to protect those who were more heavily affected by our cuts. i will say the before and after only changed the position of 3 projects and that is very common when we make our cuts, very little changes for the majority.\n\n\nthank you once again for your care and participation. i want to do right by this community. i’m confident together we can do it if we respect one another and push for bigger goals than just our own fistful of cash.\n\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[tyvdh](https://galactictalk.org/d/2380/49) \n\nhello, how could i get my results?\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted":

been sorted out and let me begin with a big long yikers. remember in the nominations round how we had a record turnout of 671 voters all of whom we removed except for 295? well in this final round we not only matched, but smashed that record. 4,137 unique keybase accounts showed up last week to vote in our final round. **four thousand one hundred and thirty seven β€œvoters”!** let’s put that in a graph compared to previous rounds. red is removed votes and blue is votes which were left.\n\n\n![](http://tyler.link/aq1efh+)\n\n\nthis round was extremely difficult to review. we’ve never had thousands of votes to look through, the current system isn’t designed for that kind of volume. we spent the last few days and nights combing through hundreds of votes and making lots of tough calls and we’ve arrived at the following criteria for disqualifications:\n\n\n1. all accounts with duplicate ips (679 accounts removed)\n2. all accounts created since nomination voting started (320 accounts removed)\n3. all accounts with zero proofs (2,662 accounts removed)\n4. all accounts with inactive or bounty hunter proofs (291)\n5. all accounts which voted for trybal.network not caught by above criteria (106)\n\n\nthe first thing to address, regretfully, is that after much deliberation we’ve made the difficult decision to disqualify trybal.network from the final round. before any adjustments they stood far ahead of the pack which always signals a deeper look.\n\n\n![](http://tyler.link/2eg4o4+)\n\n\nas we began our standard disqualifications it became clear that a majority of the disqualifications had a common project in their queue, trybal.network. ip dups, new accounts, and zero proofs were all painting a pretty unflattering picture. once we started a deep dive into hundreds of twitter, github, and reddit proofs, strong evidence became hard proof. trybal.network has attracted a very specific crowd of folks the scf wants nothing to do with; bounty hunters. once we had removed everything short of a straight disqualification trybal.network was dead last in the standings, and not barely, it was clear they shouldn’t even be in the final round. we’ve always reserved the right to take dramatic action like this and today we’re doing it. trybal.network has been disqualified from the scf #5 finals. there’s no need or value in speculating as to the blame or specific source of the manipulation, the focus should rather be on the fact that their community of supporters are not legitimate or beneficial to the scf or stellar community and were twisting the outcome in an unfair and unhelpful manner.\n\n\nwe don’t take executive actions like this lightly and we always prefer decentralization and openness. however, in its current design, with manipulation of this magnitude, the scf isn’t well suited towards a fair decentralized distribution of funds, it’s weighted by design in favor of bad actors when they choose to take advantage. to date they really haven’t, but now, obviously, they have.\n\n\nfor me this leaves one final glaring question, how did trybal.network affect the initial nominations? who got left behind? how would the final results have changed? the answer is not much, there’s a world of difference between 671 votes and 4,137. most of the manipulation in the nomination round came from other projects which rightfully didn’t make it. however, if we were to apply the same disqualification logic from this final round to the nominations round: trybal.network and rigel would both be out. taking their place would have been xlet and cosmic.vote. these three projects, rigel, xlet and cosmic.vote were casualties caught in an unfair fight. there wasn’t overwhelming support for or against these projects however rigel got in when perhaps it shouldn’t have and xlet and cosmic.vote got left out when perhaps they shouldn’t have.\n\n\nin light of this we’ve made the decision to leave rigel in the final round but to adjust their position to more closely reflect legitimate community sentiment from the nomination round and to promote both xlet and cosmic.vote into the finals and assign them votes which also reflect community sentiment from the nomination round. so without further ado, after all the hours of review, conversations and counsel, our final results for scf #5 are:\n\n\n![](http://tyler.link/jperjz+)\n\n\n* **lettuce: stellar-based point of sale (pos) application** | 18.1818% | 545,454 xlm\n* **stellarmint - stellar tokens made easier** | 15.8103% | 474,308 xlm\n* **free voting platform** | 15.0198% | 450,592

xlm\n* **rigel - monetize links for payments and donations in seconds** | 4.3478% | 130,434 xlm\n\n\nthis round was tough and far from ideal and for that we are sorry. ultimately this is why scf 2.0 is so important, this is why we’ve been collecting and distilling years of feedback into a new structure for stellar community funding, it’s why we’re so excited for the future and why we’re so sure it’s time for a big changeβ„’. so stay tuned, scf 2.0 is on it’s way for a timely arrival on august 31st.\n\n\nfor those who won the last scf 1.0, congratulations! you deserve it. we’ll be in touch

open, hosted federation using domainkeys identified federation (dkif) ===================================================================== hi guys, we are working on a project which extends the current stellar federation standard/workflow in order to improve security and enable hosted federation without the need to trust the federation provider. the extension is based on a simplified version of the well known and used standard [dkim (domainkeys identified mail)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/domainkeys_identified_mail). it introduces signing of federation records and signature validation by the client. the solution is backwards compatible with the current workflow. older clients can simply ignore the signature and newer clients which implement the new validation workflow can show a sign to the sender to verify that dkif was used to resolve the federation andress. using this extension we would like to introduce a donation based, secure and open stellar federation service for stellar community individuals and a hosted federation service for users and organizations who have their own domain but cannot, or do not want to, host their own federation server. as this proposal would require a minor modification/extension of the current federation workflow, we would be very keen to hear the feedback of the stellar developers together with the community members. current federation workflow --------------------------- currently, in order to resolve a federation address, the client needs to do the following: > 1) fetch the stellar.toml file from https://<domain>/.well-known/stellar.toml and read the federation\_server entry from it > > 2) fetch the response from the federation server using secure http get and required parameters > > 3) proceed with the payment > > although it is mandatory to use https for both requests, both the web server and the federation server are possible targets for hackers. these servers are directly exposed to the internet and if a hacker manages to compromise either of them they could redirect the payments. in case an attacker compromised the web server hosting the example.com site, they could rewrite the stellar.toml file pointing the frederation\_server entry to their own host, serving wrong records and receiving all the payments. compromising the federation server would allow the attacker to replace the public keys in each response, receiving all the payments. proposal: signing and validating the federation records ------------------------------------------------------- we would like to introduce the signing of the federation records using the workflow below. these signatures can be inspected and validated by the clients (β€œwallets” who are sending money to a destination address) before sending payments. ### preparation we generate a domain signing key pair using ed25519 (same algorithm that is used for [other components](https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/security.html#built-in-security) ) for each domain. we keep the public key in a txt record (same method as dkim) in the dns of the domain which looks like the following: *federation.\_stellardomainkey in txt β€œ<publickey>”*. the format of the public key matches exactly the format of a stellar address, and the existing tools for creating a signing pair can be used. we pre-sign the federation records (offline) and include the signatures into the db together with the other entries. we will have one signature per federation entry which contains all the federation records (stellar\_address, account\_id, memo\_type, memo). we configure the federation server to include a signature entry into the json response which looks like the following (see dkim for more info about fields): *β€œsignature”:”<base64signature>”* ### workflow with the new clients new clients that support dkif would take the following steps to resolve a federation address and validate it’s signature: > 1) fetch the stellar.toml file from https://<domain>/.well-known/stellar.toml and read the federation\_server entry from it > > 2) fetch the response from the federation server using http get and required parameters > > 3) try to fetch the public key from the federation.\_stellardomainkey.<domain> txt record of the domain > > 4) if both of the public key and the signature from the federation response were missing then client proceeds with the payment without dkif validation as it currently does > > 5) if only one of them was missing (public key or the signature in the federation response), it blocks the payment and warns the sender > > 6) if both public key and signature were found, but federation entries cannot be validated using the signature and the public key, it blocks the payment and warns the sender > > 7) if federation entries could be validated using the signature and the public key it proceeds with payment (and notes the sender that the resolution was using dkif) > > this workflow is compatible with existing clients and federation servers which do not implement signing/validation. older federation servers would not return a signature field and older clients would just ignore the signatures (we assume that clients ignore additional fields in the json response from federation servers). ### benefits when a federation service is using dkif, taking over the web server which hosts the stellar.toml file and/or the federation server itself would not allow the attackers to redirect the payment. in order to do that, they would need to alter in addition the dns response on the client side as well. this allows (and requires) that the open federation providers sign the records offline and upload it to the federation database together with the records. it also allows the introduction of federation hosting for people or organisations who have their own domains but do not want or cannot run their own federation server. these people can include their public key into their own dns, sign the records with their private key, upload them together with the signatures to a federation hosting provider and point the federation\_server entry to the provider. with this solution there is no need to trust the federation provider as it would not be able to temper with the presigned records or signature. update: we are live! -------------------- finally, we went live with our secure open & hosted stellar federation service. the site is here: <https://lumenbox.org> please enjoy and provide your feedback. πŸ˜‰

image header: ![](https://i.imgur.com/hi1dwkp.png) ### project title: sendit - blockchain payment via email ### summary: sendit is on a mission to simplify the use of blockchain for everyday users. sendit is a simple but powerful wallet that allow anyone to send and receive payment via their normal email, users to use and interact with stellar blockchain just like they will use their normal bank app, without the need to know the technical part of it. it is no doubt that the greatest challenge to blockchain mass adoption is caused by the complexity of blockchain, fact that not everyone can understand the technical part of blockchain, not everyone will understand what public key, private key, consensus algorithm, validators, smart contract, hashing, cryptography, encryption, decentralization and other technical terms really mean, these terms makes blockchain really hard to use for someone who just want to enjoy control of their money and the security blockchain provides, sendit is solving this problem. ### category: applications, tools, infrastructure ### goals: * sendit is on a mission to make blockchain services accessible to everyone. * simplify the use of blockchain for everyday users, encouraging mass adoption. * financial inclusion for all through stellar blockchain ### timeline: we have launched the testnet version for everyone to check out (with limited features) and we will appreciate feedbacks, within two months we will launch on mainnet with support for few stable coins and xlm. as we progress we will integrate more stable coin and other asset supported on stellardex. ### description: the present dapps are really doing a great job, but there is still need to embrace the everyday users(the masses), using any of the present wallet requires you to provide your recipient public key, which can actually be a serious challenge to someone not in the space before. sendit has provide an awesome solution to this, users don't need to know anything about the public key part of blockchain to enjoy the benefit of blockchain, with sendit users can send/transfer fund to anybody just by knowing their recipient email address(not a federated address). say your friend bob own the email address [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), you will be able to transfer any trusted asset to bob just by typing his email address([[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])) and he get a notification of the fund and can do whatever he wishes to do with his fund, when sending to bob for the first time, you will encrypt this transaction with a pin, bob can only claim ownership of fund if he has the pin for this transaction. reverse/recall transaction send to a wrong email- we understand that users can actually make mistake of typing a wrong email address when sending fund/asset to a new account, for this we provide a solution to be able to recall/reverse this transaction just in-case of any mistake(as long as the users of the email don't have the pin to the transaction) say you send asset/fund to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) instead of [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), you will be able to reverse this transaction back to your account but you only get the destination asset. this feature is only available if you are sending to a new account. transaction sent to an existing account can not be reverse. in another attempt to encourage mass adoption of stellar blockchain, users of sendit will be able to hold asset a and send asset b to another users, via their email, public address or a federated account(this will be only for asset available on stellar dex). example you are a father/husband who works in the uk and have your family in nigeria, you will be able to transfer usd and your family get ngn(almost instant, thanks to stellar awesome structure) without the need for any of the parties to visit bank for this transaction, and fund is available to be withdraw immediately to you local account(thanks to stellar anchors). imagine you seating on your couch at home(say london, uk, china. etc) and be able to send me naira without the need to visit a bank for fx or the need to visit the exchange to sell one token for another. you get to see the amount that will be deducted from your account before sending. this feature will be available for all asset added to the wallet. it is no doubt that blockchain provides tons of advantage compare to the traditional financial system, with sendit, users will be able to enjoy the benefit of stellar blockchain without the need to know the technical part of it. users will be able to fund their wallet just like they will fund their normal bank account, have total control of fund, security, low transaction fee, fast transaction time(3 secs) and many more will be available to user. experience users of blockchain wallets are also welcome to use sendit, transfer via federated and public key address will also be made available for everyone, experienced blockchain users will be able to add custom asset and this custom asset will be available for email transfer too. users will be able to receive trusted asset via their federated address and public key from other experienced users and they will be able to get trusted asset via their email too. the test version for the wallet is available to be tested out by anyone, custom adding of asset isn't available for the testnet version at the moment. for deposit you can mimic the deposit of both usd and ngn and the amount you enter will be credited for testing(not more than 20k). we plan to launch with usd, xlm, ngn, and adding custom asset, more asset will be added as we progress. all transactions processed on sendit are blockchain based (can be viewed right on stellar.expert) ### links: * link to testnet <https://bit.ly/2wvugx0> tags: python, sendit,

you can create a temporary account for a user and set up the multisig scheme with a user's public key as a signer. or maybe you can just generate and pre-sign a transfer transaction on the client-side.\n2. send a **direct** email message containing a secret key and instructions on how to claim it to the destination email address. from the app itself, not from your server. this can be also a link to your service, containing all required information in get params, so the end-user could claim the balance in one click.\n3. do not store sensitive user data on the server side - it's not really necessary in this case. everything can be encrypted and stored in the protected storage on the user's device. otherwise, if you are hacked - all you clients immediately lose their funds. needless to say that this will be the end of your service and the beginning of the lengthy trial as a result of a class suit action.\n\n\np.s. i didn't find the apps. the links on your website are

[orbitlens](https://galactictalk.org/d/2311/27), here is an overview of how sending to an email actually works on sendit.\n\n\n**1** \n\nwhen you decide to send fund/asset to an email address, if your recipient email is a new email, after filling out the transaction form, you will be taken to a new page where you are asked to encrypt the transaction with a pin or a password, at this point a stellar keypair is generated, we then proceed to encrypt the secret key with the pin/password you entered(using aes), after this we send your transaction to this newly generated public key and a one-time confirmation email is send to the recipient email (**please take note here anything related to the keypair is not send to the recipient, no sensitive information is send**), when the recipient get and click on the email. he/she is taken to a page where they are prompt to enter the pin used for this transactions (this is password/pin you used to encrypt the transaction when sending). if this is the right user you will have to share the pin, if he/she is able to decrypt the secret key using the pin/password then they are taken to a new page where they are asked to change this pin/password, after this is done the encryption key is changed from the sender pin/password to the recipient pin/password, at this point the sender no longer has access to the secret key neither do anyone unless someone with the user's password.\n\n\n* you encrypt secret key with a pin/ password and send transaction\n* a normal confirmation email is send to the recipient(not containing any sensitive information)\n* recipient click's on the link and is prompt to enter pin\n* if the recipient has the right encryption key, they are able to change encryption key from the sender's key to their own giving them full control\n\n\n**2** \n\nwe don't send users secret key via email, we only send normal email message containing just a confirmation email, only the sender name is attached and in some cases, none is attached if the user don't have a name.\n\n\n**3** \n\n**we also do not store users plain keys on the server**, we store the encrypted version in a secure way which can only be decrypted using the user's password or pin and also users have full control over their keys, they can be imported to anywhere anytime.\n\n\napologies for the broken links i will check and fix this, i hope this helps, if not feel free to drop anymore question(s). \n\nthanks.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "hi all, we successful tested email path payment on livenet and it was really easy, see video

since the beginning i wanted to write something about the [stellar network](https://www.stellar.org/how-it-works/stellar-basics/) that is related to my personal experience using it. as i read about the integration processes for developers, stellar’s business model, the network structure i found myself more and more involved with this decentralized network. some parts were very technical to be understood completely by a law student and marketing manager like me. however, i think the idea of an **open source software** that allows anchors to make financial transactions for their clients following a trusting base relation with lower costs and efficiency is brilliant. also, the social concern that stellar foundation shows by providing free cost financial transactions to people that can’t afford to pay for each operation is inspiring. i could spend hours talking about my feelings and thoughts related to those foundation and network but for now i decided to talk about **my experience** with the [wallets](https://www.stellar.org/about/directory#wallets) that provide to any users the possibility to send and receive xlm or other currencies with [almost free cost](https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/concepts/fees.html). in order to share this experience better, i'll talk briefly about each wallet i used. i hope my impressions can be helpful and enlightening to other people that, like me, are interested in stellar but are still beginners in this platform. even more, i want those impressions to help developers improve the current tools to users and design other useful ones. **first experience: testing centaurus, stargazer and lobstr** i asked for a friend’s opinion about which wallet he thought is better, as he uses stellar for longer time, and he told me i should download [centaurus](https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsid=de.xcoins.centaurus&hl=pt_pt) . it is a wallet for android only and was the first one available on google store. this wallet has really basic design and features, just the minimum. i tested it by first receiving 500 xlm that were sent from this friend centaurus account. by clicking the β€œreceive” button, the wallet gives you a stellar address that you can share with the person that will send the currency and a qr code that this person can scan instead. the problem is that if the receiver is not in the same place as the one who sends, which is more likely, he/she needs to insert the receiver’s public address that the wallet creates with a lot of letters and numbers. what i noticed is that the centaurus wallet saves the accounts that made transactions with you as contacts automatically. this is already different than the stargazer wallet, which gives the option to add as contact accounts that had activities with yours, and even write comments about each activity. this experience with centaurus was, in general, positive. the currency value that my account received appeared a few seconds later in my wallet, after refreshing the application. it is important to quote that this wallet has other languages options than english: french, german, japanese and dutch. it also shows all your recent transactions in the history, receiving and sending currencies. i decided to download other two wallets that are available for android, [stargazer](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.futuretense.stargazer.wallet&hl=pt_pt) and [lobstr](https://lobstr.co/). however, i wanted to send some xlm from my centaurus account to those other wallets and check if it would also work fine. stargazer has also a very basic design, not appealing at all, and gave me the possibility to create multiple accounts, personal or shared, on the same application. it also gave me the option to change the language from english to eight different languages, which is a nice feature considering that stellar is internationally known and used, even though it doesn’t have the option to be used in portuguese yet. lastly, it allows the user to create a federated name to use instead of the pre-configured address, so the user can make it easier and more personalized. having the option to create a federated name is great, as long as the users transfer and receive money between stargazer accounts. i tried to receive some lumens in stargazer from my centaurus account, as it needed minimum value of 20 xlm to be activated, and when i sent my federated address to centaurus it didn’t recognize it as a valid destination address. i couldn't erase my federated name, just change to a different one, so i created another personal account and tried to receive lumens from the centaurus account only with the stellar address given. stargazer didn't give me the option to share my stellar address with another account as centaurus gave and i also couldn't copy it directly. this is a problem i didn't find a solution, how to receive lumens in stargazer from a different wallet. after this first try, i did the opposite operation: shared my account from centaurus to stargazer in order to send lumens from this wallet to that one. this operation worked because i could share the exact address from centaurus to stargazer, even though it came with some words indicating the centaurus wallet that i had to erase. to finish those first experiences with wallets, i tried to use my lobstr account. unlike the other two wallets, lobstr didn’t open automatically an account to be used on the android. it gave me options to create a new wallet with any name i wish or link an existing wallet to this one. yet, when i tried to create one, it gave me a message that it’s not possible to create any new wallets for now. until this problem is fixed, i can’t give a feedback about lobstr. in conclusion, between centaurus, stargazer and lobstr, i would choose centaurus as an android wallet simply because it was easier to use and it gave me the option to share directly my stellar address instead of just qr code to scan. stargazer has just a few more features and language options but both are very similar in simple design and reliable use. i intend to test more wallets, this time web or windows, and give more feedback about them in my next article. cheers! luΓ­sa nogueira.

hi everyone, i just [published a js/typescript library](https://github.com/stellarguard/secret-memo) to generate secret stellar memos, and [wrote an accompanying article](https://medium.com/@stellarguard/sending-secret-and-anonymous-memos-with-stellar-8914479e949b) surrounding the motivations and design. feedback, comments, and criticisms welcome. already there's been some ideas about how to squeeze even more data into the memo by using the sequence number as an initialization vector.

(another trivia: the sdf actually sent us twice the amount in error, 820,690 xlm, so we promptly refunded 410,345 xlm when we were contacted about the error. [proof](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/tx/64631080187072512#64631080187072513)) one of the first things we did after receiving the award was to airdrop some of the lumens to over 1,500 africans via a telegram campaign in march 2018 to help them activate their stellar wallets and learn more about the stellar ecosystem. we also used some lumens to sponsor blockchain and stellar training events in cameroon and nigeria. since the 2017 sbc5, we have not applied for any sbc or scf despite the many challenges faced when building and maintaining a large app like ours. finally we used a significant portion of the lumens to provide liquidity for our six stellar assets (fiat and crypto) since 2017 which all rank among the top stellar assets issued today. some of you may ask, **β€œwhy apply now for the scf?”**. let's start with our numbers and milestones as of june 16th, 2020. please note that our milestones and achievements were achieved without any external financial resources for core development, marketing, advertising, or business development. we've been self-funded for more than 3 years now despite the many financial challenges we have faced to keep this project going. * **total users:** over 250,000 * **total countries:** 188 **our top 10 countries (last 12 months)** * bangladesh, 12.10% * indonesia, 11.56% * russia, 9.70% * united states, 7.83% *

major stellar asset issuer and anchor since november 2017. one stable coin (xaf), and 5 cryptocurrencies (btc, eth, xrp, xrp, ltc, bch). our stable coin (xaf - <https://xafx.org>) serves six central african nations (cameroon, central african republic, chad, republic of the congo, equatorial guinea and gabon). our five crypto assets (btc, eth, xrp, ltc, and bch) consistently rank among the top and most actively used assets out of the 7,800+ assets within the stellar ecosystem (<https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/asset>). all our assets support sep6, including deposit and withdrawals

depend(ed) on our interstellar app infrastructure and workflows, and that is principally because we have a more inclusive and global approach to decentralized finance. some of the stellar-built popular companies and projects supported directly and indirectly by the interstellar app both in the past and present include: givedirect.io, thefutbolapp, dstoq, bitbond, diruna, kubitx, cowrie integrated systems (ngnt) and thewhitewallet.com (wsd), tree3.network (pedity), frasindo, ludum. building a full featured cross-platform wallet/dex on stellar is always the easiest part. we can thank stellar's excellent documentation for that. however, maintaining a stellar wallet/dex over time, actively supporting users daily, especially as long as we have without any funding or grants, is where most stellar projects run out of steam. many stellar apps have come and gone, because everyone eventually realizes that maintaining a popular cross-platform wallet/dex is a lot of hard work and requires a lot of time and money. the sdf continues to improve stellar at a rapid pace, and we have to keep up with these releases since our app is a popular entry point for many international stellar users and projects. **key interstellar suite of apps and features** * **interstellar wallet:** a highly secure non-custodial p2p mobile, web and desktop wallet application for real-time national and global payments using any digital currency or asset. it also provides detailed transaction history, send, receive, add/remove trust lines, backups, offline account viewer, real time alerts, notification sounds, multi-currency support with automatic price conversions. additional support for ledger blue, nano s and nano x hardware wallets for added security. trezor support coming soon, once we get our hands on it. * **interstellar fiat/cryptoanchor:** an interoperability engine for linking legacy financial systems and other blockchains to stellar. it allows you to seamlessly integrate with different blockchains, financial institutions, exchanges, and mobile money payment services. you can deposit and withdraw any of our digital currencies or assets without leaving the application or relying on third parties. we have successfully deployed and supported fiat stablecoins with financial institutions and payment service providers (thewhitewallet, cowrie integrated systems, and kubitx) for usd, eur, gbp, ngn, and xaf digital currencies and crypto currencies like btc, ltc, xrp, ltc, eth and bch. * **interstellar multi-multisig:**. nope, it's not a typo. this is our multi-signature coordination solution which allows decision makers to digitally sign an unlimited number of pending transactions or documents *at any time*, and *in any order*. hence we baptized it **multi-multisig**. interstellar's multi-multisig engine has assisted thousands of stellar projects and organizations all over the world, especially projects where decision makers are spread across multiple cities, continents, and time zones. it is an essential tool for governance, organizational management, legacy planning and a defense against multiple cyber security threats and hacking incidents. * **interstellar exchange:** the interstellar exchange provides pellucid, convivial and advanced decentralized exchange trading user interfaces with full access to thousands of stellar assets and markets. some of our core interstellar exchange features are: + standard trading buy and sell forms, daily and hourly candlesticks, order books, wallet trading history, market trading history, candlesticks, rsi charts and macd charts, 24hr open, high, low, close data. + we show you all popular trading pairs, with 24hour volume and 24hr price change percentages. our raison d'Γͺtre has always been to build a **stellar** decentralized exchange, not an **xlm** decentralized exchange. that's why we also display trending non-xlm market pairs by default. + intelligent coin/market search feature which allows you to search assets by name, code or url of the issuer. + in addition to bar charts, we also support ema12 and ema26 indicators on our candlesticks and we also include separate rsi and macd charts for the more serious traders amongst us. * **interstellar federation server:** a dedicated solution for linking legacy financial/bank accounts and other services to stellar. it provides an easy way for users to share financial institutions or mobile payment details by using a simple name or syntax that interoperates across different domains and providers. this mapping engine can perform both forward and reverse lookups for user and organizational accounts in banks, mobile money operators, payment services providers or other institutions in the financial services sector. * **interstellar kycplus:** a stellar-built identity and data management for kyc and aml. all documents and sensitive info are encrypted on your device using your public keys and can only be accessed via our service with your private keys. even though your kyc/aml data is encrypted locally on your device, we also store your encrypted data on our remote servers for backup. this is mainly for your convenience in case your device gets stolen, or you need to sync across multiple devices. your encrypted data is not at risk on our servers because we do not know your private key(s). the best part about our kyc implementation is that you get to pick and choose what you share with third parties like an *Γ  la carte* menu. * **interstellar swap:** one of the most unique features within the interstellar suite of applications is the pathfinder or the digital asset swap engine released in the fall of 2018. the pathfinder swap feature allows you to swap one crypto asset for another, even when a direct market between both coins doesn’t exist, i.e. to swap from btc to eth, pathfinder might swap from btc to xlm first, and then from xlm to eth. it does this automatically. even if a direct market existed between btc to eth, pathfinder might still go from btc through xlm to eth in a scenario where there isn’t enough liquidity for your swap from btc to eth, or if the spread in the direct btc to eth market is too high. the pathfinder works in real time to always find the best path in the sdex from one crypto asset to another. **key events and achievements** *

have to do some things manually. first, you would have to find a program that can derive accounts from your seed phrase. this would assume that you still know the seed phrase, i.e. the 12 words that were shown to you when creating your account on stellarport. then you can install something like this software: \n\n<https://github.com/reverbel/seed-phrases-for-stellar#2-same-example-as-above-now-showing-the-bip-0039-seed-and-four-accounts>, enter your seed phrase and look at the first and second account. according to the reddit post, the second account is a co-signer to your primary account, thus you can import both into a wallet app that supports multi-signature features (e.g. solar), then change the multi-sig setup of your primary account and remove all co-signers, and then this transaction should appear on the second account where you can finally sign and submit it to the network.\n\n\nif this

has some solutions that were presumably proposed by the stellarport customer support. you can find it here: \n\n\ni don't know how versed you are with computers/programming but for method 1 you would have to do some things manually. first, you would have to find a program that can derive accounts from your seed phrase. this would assume that you still know the seed phrase, i.e. the 12 words that were shown to you when creating your account on stellarport. then you can install something like this software: \n\n<https://github.com/reverbel/seed-phrases-for-stellar#2-same-example-as-above-now-showing-the-bip-0039-seed-and-four-accounts>, enter your seed phrase and look at the first and second account. according to the reddit post, the second account is a co-signer to your primary account, thus you can import both into a wallet app that supports multi-signature features (e.g. solar), then change the multi-sig setup of your primary account and remove all co-signers, and then this transaction should appear on the second account where you can finally sign and submit it to the network.\n\n\nif this seems too complicated then you can try method 2 and write the stellarport support team.\n\n\ni hope this helped.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[unknown] yes i had found that

as scf round 4 winners collect their prizes and go on to make their entries even more wonderful and profitable we begin round 5. there are a few new and adjusted rules i’d like to highlight before releasing your creative and entrepreneurial spirits into the wild. **first in the β€œsubmission template” section be sure and leave the β€œbefore colon:” stuff and only replace the content to the right of the colon. we use the "prefix titles:" as regex triggers for the [voting site](https://stellarcommunity.fund/).** next, three β€œparticipant eligibility” updates: 1. you may only win scf a maximum of once per year (block of 4 rounds). while you can resubmit β€˜losing’ proposals, individuals who submit new proposals after winning 1 scf challenge within the current year will be disqualified from consideration for the award. 2. β€˜losing’ proposals may only re-enter twice per year, pending there are improvements to the entry. 3. the scf is a fund for work completed or proven not for a promise of future work. for applications and content there must be significant work and effort put into proving the viability and commitment to your project and for events you should have a history demonstrating your ability and qualification to carry out your intentions. **rules 1 and 2 are pretty significant changes so those new rules will go into effect now but will not be enforced until round 6.** that’s it for updates! on to the rest of the details! round schedule -------------- may 25th – submissions open june 22nd – submissions close, discussion opens july 20th – nominations open july 27th – nominations close, 1 week pause aug 3rd – final vote begins aug 10th – final vote finishes, round ends, 1 week pause --- the stellar community fund (scf) gives the broader stellar community the opportunity to vote on which long term projects they believe deserve sdf seed funding. any project built on stellar can apply and participate! every 3 months, 8 participants have the chance to split a pool of 3 million lumens.
 timeline -------- each scf round consists of 4 phases covering 13 weeks.Β  ### the submission phase during this phase, participants submit their proposals toΒ [galactictalk.org](https://galactictalk.org/). late submissions will not be eligible for the current round. the submission phase lasts 4 weeks. ### the discussion phase the discussion phase is the participation and learning phase. discussion and community participation is highly encouraged. it is fundamentally the most important part of the stellar community fund. not only does it give participants valuable feedback, it allows them to position themselves as advocates for their proposal and overall growth of the ecosystem.
 this round is strictly dedicated to the sharing and discussion of project proposals within the community. community members should take this time to ask participants questions about their proposals, submit suggestions, and engage with any active elements. the discussion phase lasts 4 weeks.Β  ### the nomination phase this is the first round of voting. stellar community members will vote for their favorite project proposals. each voter must select 3 entries but can vote on up to 8 different entries. the top 8 nominees move to the final vote phase.
 nomination takes place over 2 weeks. there will be a one week pause after the nomination phase before the final vote begins. ### the final vote in this phase, the top 8 proposals enter a final vote which guides the lumen distribution. voters choose their 3 favorite proposals from the top 8. 
 lumens are distributed based on the final percentage of the votes. for example, if a winning project receives 20% of the vote, they will receive 20% of the awarded lumens (600,000xlm of the 3m xlm pool).
 the final vote phase lasts 1 week and there will be a one week gap before each new round begins.
 proposal submission ------------------- all proposals should be submitted as a new thread to galactictalk.org under the scf |Β [proposals category](https://galactictalk.org/t/proposals). proposals should be classified by category. are you building an application, writing a resource, or planning an event? choose appropriately. below are category descriptions. ### applications, tools & infrastructure this is the β€˜developer’ category. if your project is built on stellarβ€”or is a tool that supports developing on stellarβ€”your proposal belongs here. all submissions to this category must have a functional / live element. for example: if you are creating a library, you must have reviewable code; if you are building an application, people must be able to demo it. ### resources & content this is the category for people who want to flex their creative muscles. do you have a great series of tutorials, a podcast, or website that can help educate people about stellar? if so, your proposal fits within this category.Β  this category requires drafts or rough cuts of your proposed content. people must be able to read and review your submitted samples. ### events & programs this is the category for broader stellar outreach. are you planning on hosting a workshop or community-driven program? if so, this is the category for you. this category requires that you share a plan for execution. depending on the scope of this effort you will need to provide items such as proposed venues, curriculum, timelines, guests, costs, etc. submission template ------------------- image:Β 1200x630 image preview of your project or brand title:Β the name of your project. (please adhere to the stellarΒ [brand policy](https://www.stellar.org/brand-policy)) summary:Β a simple sentence summarizing the why of your project category:Β choose one the three categories (applications, tools & infrastructure | resources & content | events & programs) goals:Β what your project plans to accomplish broken down by objectives description:Β the description should answer questions like β€œwhat does your project enable users to do?” β€œwhy is your project valuable for stellar?” and β€œhow does your project use stellar?” it should also cover what platforms the project supports (ex; windows, chrome, etc.) and relevant documentation.Β this section should be very detailed. links:Β links to your application, code repository, supporting materials, and/or home site. if you are submitting a proposal for content pieces (like walkthroughs), please provide links to the content pieces. tags:Β tag your project. examples can be β€œsdk, javascript, party, game, book, event, etc.”  
 voting ------ voting will take place in two rounds. a nomination round and an award round.Β  voting takes place onΒ [stellarcommunity.fund](https://stellarcommunity.fund). submission eligibility ---------------------- applicable law and our internal policies restrict us from providing lumen awards for certain categories of projects. if your project is in one of our prohibited categories, it will not be eligible for an award. if you are unsure whether your project falls inside these one or more of these categories, please contact us and verify!
 regardless of the community’s voting outcome, a submission will be ineligible to receive an award if it:
 * violates any applicable laws, regulations, orders, judgments, decrees, guidance, or other legal authority; * involves, facilitates, supports, or promotes unlawful activities, including, but not limited to: fraud, drug trafficking, purchases on dark web markets, theft, illegal arms trafficking, human trafficking, abduction, extortion, embezzlement, corruption of public officials, acts of terrorism or terrorist financing, and intellectual property violations; * involves, facilitates, or promotes gambling; * is offensive, deceptive, harmful, or libelous; * is or contains sexually obscene content; * is discriminatory or abusive toward any individual or group; * contains, transmit, or instills malware or phishing pages or devices; or * infringes or violates any proprietary right of any party, including patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of privacy, right of publicity, or other rights. participant eligibility ----------------------- sdf intends to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the distribution of lumen awards. all winners will be required to submit kyc documentation and fill out an applicable tax form. failure to submit appropriate documentation or failure to pass our kyc checks will result in your rewards being forfeit. these tax forms will be used for accounting and tax reporting purposes so please be aware of your country’s applicable laws regarding tax-filing. lumens will be reported at closing price on the day they are sent to you.
 you must be at 18 years of age to participate in scf, unless your country's minimum age for receiving a cryptocurrency award is older, in which case you must meet the minimum age applicable in your jurisdiction. 
 you may only win scf a maximum of once per year (block of 4 rounds). while you can resubmit β€˜losing’ proposals, individuals who submit new proposals after winning 1 scf challenge within the current year will be disqualified from consideration for the award. 
 winning entries will not be eligible for future rounds. β€˜losing’ proposals may re-enter twice per year, pending there are improvements to the entry.
 currentΒ [ecosystem infrastructure grant](https://www.stellar.org/foundation/mandate#ecosystem-support)Β recipients are not eligible to participate in scf. the scf is a fund for work completed or proven not for a promise of future work. for applications and content there must be significant work and effort put into proving the viability and commitment to your project and for events you should have a history demonstrating your ability and qualification to carry out your intentions. 
 participants who create fake accounts to bypass the above rules will be disqualified. this is regardless of whether or not they win a round. participants who leverage sockpuppet accounts to submit proposals, friends to submit proposals, or any similar β€˜act of bad faith’ will be disqualified. sdf has the right to withhold awards from people who have abused these eligibility requirements.
 unfortunately, if you’re a national or resident of cuba, iran, north korea, syria, sudan, or the region of crimea, we are unable to send you any lumens. additionally, we may also be unable to send lumens to winners in countries where local law makes it unlawful for residents to hold or receive cryptocurrencies. please note, we currently cannot send lumens to residents of the us states of alabama, new york, georgia, connecticut, new mexico, hawaii, vermont, and washington.
 all participants will retain the intellectual property associated with their submission.
 engaging in vote manipulation will cause your proposal to be disqualified. this includes botspam, fake/sock puppet accounts, and brigading.
 manipulation and disqualification --------------------------------- what we're looking for is organic, genuine interest and discussion around your project. foster and encourage that. be kind and supportive to your fellow competitors.Β  don’t ask for votes.Β  instead, ask others to simply take a look for themselves.
 feel free to share a direct link to your galactictalk post with your friends or users, but don’t mass-message strangers, or attempt to "game" the system in any way.Β  people should vote for entries they genuinely like or find interesting, not because they were peer pressured or incentivized to do so. 
 while this is a community fund, the sdf retains the right to disqualify entries and timeout participants without warning or explanation in order to maintain a fair and profitable experience for everyone.Β  if we find you’re acting in bad faith, we may bar you from participating in future rounds as well.
 if you suspect foul play and would like sdf to investigate, or if you have suggestions for future rounds of the community fund,Β [please fill out this form](https://stellarform.typeform.com/to/wiaj2s). do not use the scf keybase team to critique the program or call out participants. stellar community fund keybase team ----------------------------------- [keybase.io/team/stellar.communityfund](https://keybase.io/team/stellar.communityfund)

for individuals to live their cyber life privately and securely and to transition away from the prevailing surveillance capitalism we know today.\n\n\n### category:\n\n\napplications, tools & infrastructure\n\n\n### goals:\n\n\n![](https://ai-fi.net/static/img/free.png)\n\n\n### description:\n\n\n\"there is no cloud, just other people's computers\", runs the joke. unfortunately, those \"other people's computers\" in the core of the internet have been monopolized by a very limited few, many of whom operate the cloak and dagger \"free services\". the only way to break up this blockade is to take matters into our own hands and mobilize our computers and already-paid-for bandwidth for private interconnectivities. the re-architected and blockchain-reinforced cloud infrastructure of ai-fi.net aims to **invert** the internet and allows us to connect with one another without resorting to the traditional approach that almost always involves certain service providers as go-betweens.\n\n\njoin us in taking the first step to defund the prevailing surveillance capitalism by withholding our private data from facebook, google, whatsapp, telegram, wechat, etc. without sacrificing much of our social interactions we have grown accustomed to. taking advantage of the latest advances in universal p2p connectivity, end-to-end encryption (for both online and offline sessions), personal/home clouds, file sync over multiple personal devices, ai-fi helps individuals take advantage of this rewired and inverted internet running over this ai-fi infrastructure. the newly envisioned internet will be rid of surveillance, individual-centric, privacy-preserving, and above all, serving us netizens honestly. it is made possible by the latest blockchain technology, digital asset management, anonymous micropayment channels, rapidly sliding hardware cost, and the concerted effort by the open source community.\n\n\nwe share the same vision as all the dapps, except that we have blazed a trail though the wilderness so that your privacy and identity will be fully protected without compromising the public/immutable nature of the blockchain. we realize that to rewire and to invert the internet for \"the rest of us\" takes monumental effort. we'd like to claim we have successfully demonstrated its feasibility with the release of ai-fi version 2.0, which is already highly usable, with secureemail (end-to-end encrypted, even when the recipient is offline, without demanding our users to adopt a new email address), homecloud (self-owned servers in your private home, but accessible worldwide), photo upload/sync (without subscribing and paying icloud or other clouds). our release 2.0 is a demo release with the foundational supports for building a open pseudonymous service platform so users may run their social networking on their own servers and devices privately. it is architected for ease of integrating with other open sources such as matrix.org, mattermost, home assistant for iot (which is partially integrated as smarthome), etc, in order to reduce our reliance on facebook, whatsapp, wechat, and the like.\n\n\nsince ai-fi services are completely account-less, purposely designed not to track its users or collect any personal metadata, it needs to be a fee-based pay-as-you-go service. we'd like to consider us as an \"over the counter\", cash only services. we adopt the stellar network for its low transaction fees and ease of interfaces through horizon apis. the stellar fee requirement also helps prevent bad actors from spamming the ai-fi network or launching ddos attack. the public ai-fi root registry for digital asset management takes full advantage of the stellar event-stream mechanism for real-time asset auditing and protection. the ai-fi homecloud will host the stellar core at least on the watcher level. it may be scaled up to participate as full validator as well. in future release, ai-fi users will be one-click away from having an integrated hardware wallet (tbd) and stellar core. we'd like to consider the ai-fi architecture as an enabler for a large number of stellar core nodes, which enhance the security and robustness of any blockchain-based services.\n\n\nour payment scheme is yet to be fully developed. although we will rely on stellar network for supporting various aspects of our current payment design, the goal of becoming a completely \"over the counter\" cash-like anonymous micropayment platform is a tall order. even after rid of the account contraption, the \"follow the money\" attack will be a challenge without additional facilities. we are currently prototyping an experimental payment scheme building on multiple cryptocurrencies and crypto exchanges. there are a bit more details in our roadmap about this effort (with link in the next section).\n\n\nas the primary goal of ai-fi project is to reinvent the internet, it naturally sets its sights on all internet platforms. in release 2.0, our mobile client runs on newer apple ios (iphones and ipad) platforms, our desktop extension on windows 10, and ai-fi homecloud on any linux server or cloud ipc. the support for android mobile phones should be made available shortly. check out our roadmap to see other platforms and major functions slated for follow-on releases.\n\n\nalthough our web site is not as refined as it should be, it reflects our vision and is a call to action aimed at those of us who care about the future of internet. upon the advent of the iot revolution, the protection of our privacy and the need for a new decentralized internet infrastructure takes on a renewed urgency. join our effort and share our vision to reinvent the internet as we know it.\n\n\n###

be as seamless and straight forward as possible. leaving too much clicking and exploring outside galactictalk is a big ask when there are this many entries. i will be reaching out to these projects individually with my critique.\n\n\nif you aren't in either of these lists now is not the time to rest. keep improving and marketing your efforts. make it easy to understand and \"get\" your idea. we've got a pretty sizeable pool of entries this round and the results will largely be determined by your ability to quickly sell your idea to a busy but educated community. be very detailed and direct, explore new avenues like audio and video, don't keep it simple, keep it stellar.\n\n\nfor all the reviewers and voters out there remember to keep it civil and please use [this form](https://stellarform.typeform.com/to/wiaj2s) to report on any issues, complaints or ideas. we are listening and your feedback is and has been incredibly important in shaping the outcome and progress of the stellar community fund.\n\n\n❀️ you all, onwards to the discussion phase!\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "we at ai-fi.net are not sure if this is the right place for the discussion. let me know if this is not and then we will find a different venue for it.\n\n\nwe have been working on the project for about two years now. it is designed to be a privacy-centric network (internet) infrastructure such that users may construct their own social networks (most are inherently private), cloud storage or servers, personal vpn (for smart homes), and all other internet functions that need not be hosted in public services (facebook, wechat, homekit, etc.). we'd like to do this without being part of the surveillance capitalism and without demanding the account registration from our users, much like the bitcoin/stellar distributed ledger architecture. with this goal in mind, we pretty much need to fund it on fees and the service charges on our users are going to be on a per transaction basis which is naturally \"micro\" in nature. cryptocurrencies are the only technology that will make this micropayment service scheme possible.\n\n\nwe think collecting cryptocurrencies as service charges is fairly straightforward. however, collecting them in an anonymous way is quite an another thing. we have put off this effort to the next release with some [decent ideas on how that can be done](https://ai-fi.net/roadmap.html). however, for the current release, we have built [a system based on stellar network for managing the digital assets](https://ai-fi.net/index.html#dasset). we have put together a mechanism such that some digital assets may be published over [ai-fi root registry](https://ai-fi.net/help/rootregistry.html), which is protected and tied to stellar network accounts that may be publicly accessed but privately audited and protected, much like that for [certificate transparency](https://www.certificate-transparency.org/), but self-managed by individual asset owners. we have implemented this protection mechanism for users' email addresses by taking advantage of the stellar network blockchain without re-inventing the wheel like the certificate transparency architecture. this stellar based root registry supports the encryption of our end-to-end secureemail and protects our users' public identity from theft.\n\n\nour secureemail takes advantage of the stellar network to protect one of our most important cyber identities and deliver the end-to-end encryption to emails, the most popular software in the world, without requiring an ai-fi service account and/or the need to start out with a new mailbox/provider. our contribution to the dapp industry is the implementation of the secureemail that cleanly separates the public aspects (e.g email address and pre-key store) from the private (email content and metadata). this has not been possible without the help of the stellar/blockchain technologies. we want to make sure if this is the thing you deemed as \"doesn't seem to have stellar implemented in any meaningful way\".\n\n\nby the way, to support the various privacy-centric utilities and services without demanding an account (trackable), we need to re-invent just about everything. the [\"krypton token\"](https://ai-fi.net/help/anonymouscloudstorage.html) is one of them, which is a bit counter-intuitive and needs our users to pay more attention to it. this is why we concocted our \"bug bounty\" program to put money where our mouth is. the bounty happens to be in stellar lumens, which is probably something you want to encourage. this absolutely does not imply we will use the grant solely to fund the bounty program.\n\n\nall in all, we think we have utilized stellar in a very significant way, delivered our secureemail to protect the world's most popular software regardless of the email providers, integrated with a powerful file sync utility (nextcloud), and accomplished all these with anonymity totally in line with the spirit of dapp without demanding an account sign-up. hidden in this 2.0 release are those foundational supports critical to all other upper-layer applications, not immediately obvious to ordinary user. there are many exciting features to come in future releases, especially the anonymous micropayment design slated in 3.0 that we are very proud of.\n\n\nplease don't construe this reply as a demand for reconsideration. nevertheless, we would appreciate if you can answer some of the points raised here. we are doing some great stuff, but its broad scope makes it difficult for us to evangelize it. stellar as a payment/exchange infrastructure will be a great help to our cause and we want to be part of it.\n\n\nwe have constructed an infrastructure which is difficult to encapsulate in our short proposal to your scf program. we do have a website containing write-ups and documents that attempt to explain us more. we also have released a mobile client ai-fi central and a sync cloud ai-fi homecloud client in the apple app store, a home server runnable on raspberry pi 4, and an ai-fi desktop extension on windows platforms. we are doing over a large number of internet applications, based on an over-the-counter, pay-as-you-go payment scheme and many foundational supports underneath. the best way to understand us is to try out our applications first hand to see for yourself whether or not we are the real thing and or we have stellar implemented in a meaningful way.\n\n\nthanks for your time.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[bryonsato](https://galactictalk.org/d/2380/41)\n\n\nthank you for your detailed and professional response. i personally appreciate being able to discuss these issues openly and respectfully.\n\n\nthe stellar community fund is just that, a fund for the community to take part in distributing lumens. this leads to some powerful and incredible opportunities while also presenting some unique challenges and obstacles. one of the obvious challenges with a community vote is that it's the community evaluating. a busy community. a community with other full time jobs and responsibilities. a community that cares but has other things to do. aside from a time constraint you also have an expertise constraint and while many of the community are engineers, business developers and entrepreneurs, many of them are not, yet we should all have a say and voice in allocating an informed opinion towards the projects we care the most about.\n\n\nin order to best serve the voters we disqualify projects which aren't obviously relevant to the mission of the scf. too much cognitive and time load for any one entry is grounds for a disqualification. there are other factors too like unacknowledged legal liability, deep unforeseen technical challenges, just being off topic, etc. all of which we carefully consider but we intentionally *don't* give extremely deep or overly careful consideration for each individual project simply because voters won't either. if we don't \"get it\" quickly, neither will the voters, ultimately siphoning valuable time and mental energy away from other entries. this was the case with your project. what little stellar there seemed to be was buried in so much other stuff which, while interesting, we were unable to grasp quickly.\n\n\nthe simple answer is you shouldn't support something you don't understand and for the scf if it cannot be understood quickly and simply it's going to have a hard time competing and must result in a disqualification in order to refine the entry pool.\n\n\nevery round we iterate, improve and come back stronger and better able to serve the purpose of the scf. a big goal of mine for the future is to allow for better support of complex and technically mature entries like yours to compete and receive the support and feedback they need to win while still providing a space for experimentation and exploration of new ideas.\n\n\nall told if i were to sum it up the scf is made up of three ingredients. stellar, community and fund. eligible entries must have stellar as the key ingredient, carefully explained and marketed to the community. then and only then will entries be eligible to participate for a chance at the funds.\n\n\npersonally i'm intrigued by your project and i sincerely hope you'll join us in a future round with a refined and focused entry. i apologize for the confusion and disappointment and it is my hope to continuously improve the scf to be able to avoid these kinds of conversations in the future. your professionalism and tact is greatly appreciated and

participation and care around the scf. this is truly a community fund and i want to always foster that core value. we are also a fund however and giving away any money but especially a lot of money comes with a pretty large set of challenges. regardless of how you feel right now though the sdf and this community has done a good job with the sbc and scf. could we do better? absolutely. never be duped though into thinking we don’t care, aren’t intentional or are just throwing money away carelessly. that is not true and never has been. good projects have come out of the sbc and scf. tools and apps we use every day, people you know, talk to and appreciate. for some, like me, it has actually changed our lives entirely. the community funding programs the sdf has put on have been phenomenal. it’s incredibly difficult to give money away well in a public or decentralized way but our efforts have not gone unrewarded. please don’t lose the forest for the few trees which didn’t make it. every scf has gotten better and scf 2.0 will continue those improvements in a more concerted and exponential way. i’m here for you if you all will continue to be there for each other and this fund. keep showing up, voicing your opinions respectfully and pushing this program into better and better places. we are a growing and maturing community, remember this is not just about you and your project, it’s bigger than that.\n\n\nwith that said, in the spirit of transparency i would like to take this opportunity to pull back the curtain on the numbers and criteria of the scf nomination voting process. let’s kick things off with a graph:\n\n\n![](http://tyler.link/bzlwjs+)\n\n\nthe first thing to notice is that nomination participation in this round has nearly tripled compared to previous rounds. that’s a huge jump. the next obvious thing to notice is that vote removal is on a very aggressive exponential curve upwards while the leftover valid votes have remained relatively static. one thing this chart doesn’t show is that our criteria for removing votes has always stayed the same throughout all of these rounds. up until now we’ve chosen not to publish those criteria as that would make circumventing those criteria much easier. i’ve had a hunch for a while that a day would come where our criteria and the verification process we’ve been using would crack and we’d see the exponential curve we saw this round. this is why scf 2.0 is so essential for the survival of the scf. a panel of judges is necessary for the nomination phase and better voting mechanics is essential to help counteract, not just catch bad actors. suffice it to say we’re not going to be using keybase verification anymore, it’s entirely insufficient for distinguishing between malicious and new voters. it’s relatively high friction for participation yet that friction doesn’t assist us much in helping to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate voters.\n\n\nour criteria for voter disqualification for every round has been:\n\n\n* duplicate ips with sufficient account profile evidence to suggest they could be the same person\n* all accounts created on or after the round announcement date with zero proofs, no bio info, no additional devices and which only voted for 3 projects\n* all accounts created during the nomination week\n\n\nthese criteria all have significant flaws but they are right for keybase as a verification method. duplicate ips could just be a roommate voting for his buddies app which would be fine, but they could also be indicative of a click farm or the same fellow once on his laptop and again on his phone or tablet. i'm fine with the roommates, but click farms and multiple devices from the same person is cheating. the issue is i can't know for certain, and that's the rub, you can rarely know for certain, you can only give it your best guess and lean on the most fair side. disqualifying all accounts created on or after the round announcement date is hardly fair but if the account in question has added zero social proofs, no bio info, only has the single device and only voted for 3 projects, that’s a very strong signal they could have been paid, coerced or manipulated into voting for a specific project. removing all new keybase accounts during the nomination week doesn’t actually remove many votes, but it's pretty obvious if you're only now creating an account, you don't care about anything but voting for a single project which a) means two of your votes are meaningless throw away votes or b) could mean you've been paid, coerced or manipulated into voting for that specific project.\n\n\nthe final and primary glaring issue with these criteria is they get weaker and weaker over time as sock puppet accounts get older, add fake proofs, bios and devices. accounts that were caught in previous rounds get harder and harder to detect appropriately and soon most votes won’t mean anything as the majority will have to be removed in order to ensure fairness leaving only a select handful of original β€œverified” accounts. aka a panel of judges. what scf 2.0 will do for the nomination phase is simply formalizing the inevitable. i want to include more voters, i want to lower the barrier to entry. i want friends and family who don’t care about keybase and adding proofs and all this mumbo jumbo to be able to participate, and they will, just not in the nomination phase. once the right projects are in, actually distributing the prize pool becomes much more straightforward and traditionally has seen orders of magnitude less vote removal anyway.\n\n\nso in scf 2.0 between a panel of judges for the nomination phase and sms voter verification we’ll be in a much better place to ensure the most fair and still inclusive community fund.\n\n\ni feel for those projects caught in the crossfire of this imperfect process but there is no perfect open online voting system. what we have has actually worked incredibly well, the top 8 actually usually doesn’t shift much beyond a few projects. i’m also not accusing anyone of manipulation and neither should you. oftentimes we just fall victim to a bigger process which attempts to make the best of a tough situation. if it smells like a bot, acts like a bot and looks like a bot that doesn’t mean it is but we have no choice but to treat it like it is.\n\n\nfinally if any entrant would like to know their own numbers in this round pm me and i’d be happy to share. i’m choosing not to publish those numbers here publicly in order to protect those who were more heavily affected by our cuts. i will say the before and after only changed the position of 3 projects and that is very common when we make our cuts, very little changes for the majority.\n\n\nthank you once again for your care and participation. i want to do right by this community. i’m confident together we can do it if we respect one another and push for bigger goals than just our own fistful of cash.\n\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[tyvdh](https://galactictalk.org/d/2380/49) \n\nhello, how could i get my results?\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted":

been sorted out and let me begin with a big long yikers. remember in the nominations round how we had a record turnout of 671 voters all of whom we removed except for 295? well in this final round we not only matched, but smashed that record. 4,137 unique keybase accounts showed up last week to vote in our final round. **four thousand one hundred and thirty seven β€œvoters”!** let’s put that in a graph compared to previous rounds. red is removed votes and blue is votes which were left.\n\n\n![](http://tyler.link/aq1efh+)\n\n\nthis round was extremely difficult to review. we’ve never had thousands of votes to look through, the current system isn’t designed for that kind of volume. we spent the last few days and nights combing through hundreds of votes and making lots of tough calls and we’ve arrived at the following criteria for disqualifications:\n\n\n1. all accounts with duplicate ips (679 accounts removed)\n2. all accounts created since nomination voting started (320 accounts removed)\n3. all accounts with zero proofs (2,662 accounts removed)\n4. all accounts with inactive or bounty hunter proofs (291)\n5. all accounts which voted for trybal.network not caught by above criteria (106)\n\n\nthe first thing to address, regretfully, is that after much deliberation we’ve made the difficult decision to disqualify trybal.network from the final round. before any adjustments they stood far ahead of the pack which always signals a deeper look.\n\n\n![](http://tyler.link/2eg4o4+)\n\n\nas we began our standard disqualifications it became clear that a majority of the disqualifications had a common project in their queue, trybal.network. ip dups, new accounts, and zero proofs were all painting a pretty unflattering picture. once we started a deep dive into hundreds of twitter, github, and reddit proofs, strong evidence became hard proof. trybal.network has attracted a very specific crowd of folks the scf wants nothing to do with; bounty hunters. once we had removed everything short of a straight disqualification trybal.network was dead last in the standings, and not barely, it was clear they shouldn’t even be in the final round. we’ve always reserved the right to take dramatic action like this and today we’re doing it. trybal.network has been disqualified from the scf #5 finals. there’s no need or value in speculating as to the blame or specific source of the manipulation, the focus should rather be on the fact that their community of supporters are not legitimate or beneficial to the scf or stellar community and were twisting the outcome in an unfair and unhelpful manner.\n\n\nwe don’t take executive actions like this lightly and we always prefer decentralization and openness. however, in its current design, with manipulation of this magnitude, the scf isn’t well suited towards a fair decentralized distribution of funds, it’s weighted by design in favor of bad actors when they choose to take advantage. to date they really haven’t, but now, obviously, they have.\n\n\nfor me this leaves one final glaring question, how did trybal.network affect the initial nominations? who got left behind? how would the final results have changed? the answer is not much, there’s a world of difference between 671 votes and 4,137. most of the manipulation in the nomination round came from other projects which rightfully didn’t make it. however, if we were to apply the same disqualification logic from this final round to the nominations round: trybal.network and rigel would both be out. taking their place would have been xlet and cosmic.vote. these three projects, rigel, xlet and cosmic.vote were casualties caught in an unfair fight. there wasn’t overwhelming support for or against these projects however rigel got in when perhaps it shouldn’t have and xlet and cosmic.vote got left out when perhaps they shouldn’t have.\n\n\nin light of this we’ve made the decision to leave rigel in the final round but to adjust their position to more closely reflect legitimate community sentiment from the nomination round and to promote both xlet and cosmic.vote into the finals and assign them votes which also reflect community sentiment from the nomination round. so without further ado, after all the hours of review, conversations and counsel, our final results for scf #5 are:\n\n\n![](http://tyler.link/jperjz+)\n\n\n* **lettuce: stellar-based point of sale (pos) application** | 18.1818% | 545,454 xlm\n* **stellarmint - stellar tokens made easier** | 15.8103% | 474,308 xlm\n* **free voting platform** | 15.0198% | 450,592

xlm\n* **rigel - monetize links for payments and donations in seconds** | 4.3478% | 130,434 xlm\n\n\nthis round was tough and far from ideal and for that we are sorry. ultimately this is why scf 2.0 is so important, this is why we’ve been collecting and distilling years of feedback into a new structure for stellar community funding, it’s why we’re so excited for the future and why we’re so sure it’s time for a big changeβ„’. so stay tuned, scf 2.0 is on it’s way for a timely arrival on august 31st.\n\n\nfor those who won the last scf 1.0, congratulations! you deserve it. we’ll be in touch

in the example above, we’ll obtain the usd/xlm price based on the last buy order on the network and determine eth price based on the last eth/xlm sell order. the calculated number is then displayed on the interface. note that this is an estimation and not an exact number. note: based on our observations of the order books, the best paths mostly consist of xlm pairs. for example: snt -> llo best path: snt -> xlm -> llo **connect wallet** ![](https://i.ibb.co/f7wpsr4/connect-wallet.png) to use lumenswap, you need to connect your account. right now, there are these ways to do this: 1-private key: to use this method, you should directly enter your private key. the key will be stored locally on your browser and deleted as soon as you log out or refresh the page. (lumenswap is an open-source application and you can review our source code to make sure everything is normal). 2-ledger: in this method, you must first have a [ledger](https://www.ledger.com/) hardware wallet, this method is very safe because you can be signing or identity verification without ever exposing your secret key. 3-freighter: in this method, you must first install the [freighter](https://www.freighter.app/) browser extension, this method is very safe because you can be signing or identity verification without ever exposing your secret key. 4-albedo: in this method, you must first install the [albedo](https://albedo.link/) browser extension this method is very safe because you can signing or identity verification without ever exposing your secret key. **listening assets** ![](https://i.ibb.co/3dymfd6/listening-assets-3.png) given the free and distributed nature of blockchains, we designed lumenswap to let anyone swap any assets. right now, popular assets with sufficient value are available on the platform. ### **what features are being developed and will be unveiled in the future?** **add the analytics section:** this section gives you detailed analysis of assets, trades, and pair volumes on the network. check out our design prototypes below: ![](https://i.ibb.co/rcmztjn/image.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/qps2c38/image.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/hnqxstq/image.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/wvf7thm/image.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/ybhxqft/image.png) **a new model of path selection:** we plan to use aggregations paths to improve path selection. our team is also developing an artificial intelligence robot for path selection. **improve ui:** we will make changes in the swap box to improve the user experience and increase your access to page elements.

in the example above, we’ll obtain the usd/xlm price based on the last buy order on the network and determine eth price based on the last eth/xlm sell order. the calculated number is then displayed on the interface. note that this is an estimation and not an exact number. note: based on our observations of the order books, the best paths mostly consist of xlm pairs. for example: snt -> llo best path: snt -> xlm -> llo **connect wallet** to use lumenswap, you need to connect your account. right now, there one way to do this: private key: to use this method, you should directly enter your private key. the key will be stored locally on your browser and deleted as soon as you log out or refresh the page. (lumenswap is an open-source application and you can review our source code to make sure everything is normal). soon, we’ll have two methods by connecting to the ledger. **listening assets** given the free and distributed nature of blockchains, we designed lumenswap to let anyone swap any assets. right now, popular assets with sufficient value are available on the platform. you can also add custom to be swapped using the following format: format: lumenswap.io/asset code1-issuer address1/asset code2-issuer address2 for example: lax -> eth lumenswap.com/lax-gazzb5kpowewk4c5s5h5b6ypr2eqmuijeffbnq6mwyyag7doeelbohlw/eth-gbdevu63y6nthjqqzikvtc23nwlqvp3wj2ri2otsjtnyoigicst6duxr note: use β€˜xlm’ for xlm asset. for example: lax -> xlm lumenswap.com/lax-gazzb5kpowewk4c5s5h5b6ypr2eqmuijeffbnq6mwyyag7doeelbohlw/xlm ### **links** website: [lumenswap.com](https://lumenswap.com/) gitlab: <https://gitlab.com/lumenswap.com/lumenswap.com> email: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) ### **tags** swap - dex - exchange - transfer

i have a wallet full of xlm and i can't access it because of the password. when i protected the wallet with my password i typed it out and put it in three separate places. they are all the same as far as i can see. no matter which password i copy and enter to turn off the password, it is not accepted. the blue ok box remains greyed out. i have tried many permutations to modify the pw unsuccessfully. questions. when the correct password is entered does the blue ok box automatically light up? is there any work around? i suspect that all of the permutations of the correct password may be off by a space or some other small character but i do know what the password was meant to be when i protected the wallet. i am using the stargazer desk wallet for mac. i think this wallet is very user unfriendly and would never use it again....if i can get my coins out of it! i would be grateful for any words of wisdom. even a method to modify what the password should have been and try more permutations to open the wallet.

`source code` [github.com](https://github.com/misterticot/js-stellar-ledger-wallet) what is stellar-ledger-wallet? ------------------------------ this is a javascript library that wrap the official ledger modules and offers a very simple way to implement ledger wallet support inside your applications. both browsers and node.js are supported. in my other projects i've been postponing ledger wallet support for quite a time because it seemed a bit complicated to handle. now that i did put myself into it i decided to bundle what i learn to make others life easier. connecting a ledger wallet is now as simple as: > ledgerwallet.connect(accountnumber) > > get the account public key: > const pub = ledgerwallet.publickey > > sign: > ledgerwallet.sign(transaction) > > disconnect: > ledgerwallet.disconnect() > > i've tagged the library as alpha as it should be, because it's quite new. however it should just run πŸ™‚ future ------ i think i'll implement a few more helpers, like a discover method that looks for account following the rules in the [bip-44 rules](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki). maybe also a newaccount method that automatically select the bip path for the next empty account. readme.md --------- here's the readme right under in case you want to know more.

![](https://i.imgur.com/tneyjsy.png) ### **title:** lumenscan - [lumenscan.io](https://lumenscan.io/) ### **summary:** lumenscan is a ledger explorer for the stellar network that allows you to explore and search the stellar network for ledgers, transactions, operations, accounts, assets. ### **category:** application ### **goals:** to become a comprehensive tool for stellar and help users find structure in the network. users will enjoy working with the modern capabilities of lumenscan. ### **timeline:** we believe the project can be completed in four milestones: 1. designing the pages (done) 2. implementing the pages in a static manner (done) 3. injecting stellar horizon api and implementing the structure and database and server architecture (done) 4. developing the project, add new features and increasing its performance based on feedback from the users and developers (in progress) **note**: in the future, lumenscan will become more independent. for example, our tokens page and know addresses are based on the stellar.expert api but soon we will implement our own api. ### **description:** **how important is a blockchain explorer?** almost every user interaction on the blockchain ends up in the explorer. that means, to check transaction status and balance, users need a blockchain explorer. filtering, analyzing, and making sense of these heaps of data requires an engaging interface that does not frustrate the user. by developing an intuitively designed explorer, we can ensure that users have satisfying interactions with the stellar network and feel much more secure. **does stellar need a new explorer?** absolutely. all major blockchains have several explorers. this lets users choose the one that they prefer and leads to more competition among development teams, which is, in turn, good for the users and the platform. **how can lumenscan help stellar?** when a blockchain fundamental tools are built by adhering to modern user experience principles, they can attract a wider community of users to the network. these tools will help engage users that used to working with large payment networks such as paypal, visa, and stripe, and propel stellar to a leading global payment network, stellar already has a powerful core, and it can benefit from equally powerful design and user experience. some signs indicate stellar is ready for a significant upgrade in that area, like the recent logo and website redesign. **what tool did we use to build the lumenscan?** to build this explorer, we used, react.js, node.js, stellar horizon api and stellar.expert. **what are our team's future plans?** our primary objective is to develop and maintain lumenscan. we have detailed plans for the future to gradually roll out better and more robust features based on user feedback. eventually, we will build a complete and modern explorer based on user feedback. our team will develop a suite of other tools including a (desktop or extension) wallet in the future. based on research and our skills, we are confident that we can contribute significantly to stellar. ### **magic features:** **β€’ light and dark themes** most modern applications allow users to switch between a light and a dark theme to improve readability. ![](https://i.imgur.com/g9cghsu.png) **β€’ beautiful and user-friendly design** by focusing on design and user experience, we aim to help users enjoy working with the stellar network. ![](https://i.imgur.com/if9759j.png) **β€’ my watchlist** allows users to bookmark and tag frequently used accounts. while preferences are stored locally on the browser. ![](https://i.imgur.com/hacqtas.png) **β€’ responsive design** the responsive layout of the application makes it load perfectly on all devices. the content, design, and display are optimized for each device. ![](https://i.imgur.com/lgqd3wj.png) **β€’ deciphering the blockchain** lumenscan presents the stellar blockchain in a way that is much easier to comprehend. ![](https://i.imgur.com/tyze3rw.png) ### **other features:** realtime home page switch between main-net and test-net show ledgers show ledger details show transactions show transactions for a ledger show transactions for an account show transaction detail show operations show 0perations for a ledger show operations for a transaction show operations for an account show operation detail show payments show payments for an account show offers show offers for an account show trades show trades for an account show assets show the number of assets show asset detail show count of accounts show account detail show signing detail like the weight of signers and thresholds for an account show data for an account show qr code for an account public key show known addresses (like exchange addresses binance and …) show watchlist accounts show json format of ledger detail, transaction detail and operation detail show 7-day payment history (not implemented) show xlm token price, volume (24) and market cap smart search ### **design:** **product design** if you want to see more details go to the [brand page](https://lumenscan.io/brand) ![](https://i.imgur.com/mhixrzb.png) **logo concept** the lumenscan logo is a crossover of two symbols: (1) a smile, which is a sign of a joyful life around the globe. (2) a cat, which is a beloved pet that everyone can relate to and remember. so have a smile on your face, just like a cat πŸ™‚ ![](https://i.imgur.com/sfayq9j.png) ### **presentation:** <https://www.dropbox.com/s/zejortx3xvfmr99/lumenscan%202.mp4?dl=0> ### **final words:** this is only the beginning of our project. our list of features will continue to grow and we will continue to improve lumenscan. but to become truly exceptional, lumenscan needs your feedback. your comments will help us get better. so, feel free to drop us a line and share what's on your mind. ### **links:** website: <http://lumenscan.io/> twitter: <https://twitter.com/lumenscan> medium: <http://medium.com/lumenscan> youtube: <https://www.youtube.com/channel/ucbmdxdt34ei9o7rhhfeeb8a> keybase: <https://keybase.io/lumenscan>

[here](https://github.com/orbitlens/stellar-expert-explorer/blob/master/docs/api/index.md) is the list of the public cors-enabled stellarexpert apis that can be used by third-party services free of charge with the guaranteed data contracts and api format.\n\n\nregarding two medium posts that highlight the \"shortcomings\" of stellarexpert and steexp.\n\n\n\n> if you look at the other explorers, you can see that they don't let you view full details of each operation.\n> \n> \n\n\nactually, you can view the operation details on both steexp and stellarexpert – it just always shown in the context of the parent transaction.\n\n\n* <https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/tx/123733480902266880#123733480902266881>\n* <https://steexp.com/tx/09e9bbefbf4f55293c4df2f82f39644b8e579f3b4cddb66a019884669f0da219>\n\n\nand you surely can use a search to find the operation. sorry but it's hard to believe that you decided to illustrate your post with a screenshot of the search results page instead of the operation details page, which was one click away from that interface.\n\n\nshowing operations without a parent transaction context does not provide complete information to users. for instance, people often want to see a transaction memo and have a direct reference to the enclosing ledger. also, the concept of stellar transaction-operation relations is quite hard to understand for regular users and developers with a background in other blockchains. that's the reason why we don't show the operation properties separately from the transaction. initially, we also built it as a separate page, but decided to remove it in favor of transaction-based extended interface.\n\n\n\n> each field also features a description that displays when you hover your mouse over the question mark icon. these descriptions are perfect if you're just learning about the network.\n> \n> \n\n\nthis is also positioned as a super cool and unique feature. but we have similar hints on stellarexpert for like three years now. and [etherscan](https://etherscan.io/) added them a long time ago. so what is the novelty?\n\n\nspeaking of, i spotted a striking resemblance between your interface and etherscan.\n\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/5dkxale.png)\n\n\nyou might want to check the hints, as some of them contain texts clearly not related to stellar. there is no such thing as \"mining\" on stellar.\n\n\n\n> ...other explorers don't give you a list view of the operations in a ledger\n> \n> \n\n\nthat's simply not true – all transactions and operations can be found directly on the ledger info page ([example](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/ledger/28808946)).\n\n\n\n> we just need a modern, capable and up-to-date explorer to show all of these amazing features, designed based on understanding user needs and expectations. today, the lack of a suitable tool has created a deep gap between users and the stellar network, and users cannot make good use of the stellar network's capacities.\n> \n> \n\n\ni'm not going to comment on the design, as this topic is highly subjective. i really like the color palette of stellarscan dark theme. but all these numerous etherscan.io clones (<https://tronscan.org/> and <https://tezos.id/> and many others) blindly copy the basic bootsrap-based theme and layouts without paying any attention to the way the data is presented in some particular context. early versions of stellarexpert were also built on bootstrap, much resembling your current design except the color palette. but it evolved as i gathered requirements, and this simplistic design is a result of multiple changes inspired by community feedback.\n\n\nmedium articles and this announcement topic put a massive emphasis on the \"attractive user interface\" and design concept. but is stellarexpert is so bad that we have a \"deep gap between users and the stellar network\"? or maybe your clone of the etherscan interface will automatically allow people to embrace stellar?\n\n\nit's really strange to see that 4 of 5 \"magic features\" of such a complex and comprehensive tool as a ledger explorer are focused on aesthetics (theme, responsive design, layout). and the only technical aspect (the \"watchlist\") is simply a bookmark manager.\n\n\nas [@dzham](https://galactictalk.org/u/dzham) pointed, there are no specifics about what you plan to implement in the future. if you want to create just one more thin wrapper on top of horizon apis – well, you are on the right way, you have about 50% ready. but if you want to build a system that provides extended ledger data and analytics as stellarexpert does it, you have a long road ahead. and you should really start with digging into stellar internals to figure out which data you can extract, how to aggregate it, and what features you can add to your roadmap. judging from the lonely chart on lumenscan that shows a generic demo data instead of real statistics, you haven't made progress there yet. i'd say that if you have the right people in the team and a cluster of servers, in a year

1) using xlm transaction the easiest way to send an iou to another wallet is to simple send an xlm transaction with an attached hash with the details. this hash can easily retrieve the relevant details and trigger the payments. theoretically the hash can also be passed on to another user in order for the other user to execute payment. using transaction history we can track the hash to see where the payment request currently resides. 2) using trust line and assets a more complicated approach but something more inline with the sbc challenge is to create trustlines and β€œassets” which are exchanged between two account holders to represent ious before the transaction is settled in fiat. the only we can achieve this as per our knowledge of stellar is: when a user sign-up for the wallet we create two stellar accounts in order to issue an asset such as β€œeuriou” user a then creates a trustline with user b. user a then sends an request for payment (example €50) to user b. when user b accepts the payment request, the wallet automatically creates a trustline with a allowing now for a to send their euriou to b to create a β€œreal” representation of the debt owed. once a triggers the payment to a, and a receives the payment, the stellar network will provide the payment instructions, reconciliation, payment triggers between the wallets. the settlement in euros will be done directly between the two users. ``` trustline to other wallet ``` swa1 -----> swa2 -------------------------------------------------------------swb2 ←-- swb2 token token holder issue iou tokens issuing account swa - stellar wallet for user a swb - stellar wallet for user a the tokens by itself apart from representing a value do not provide any security. this can only we solved by: creating legally enforceable ious locking in xlm (which requires maintain large balances also one concern i have is in relation to passing on debt between users. if debts get passed on to third parties who do the actual settlement in fiat, this could create anti-money laundering issues for the final payer as he technically does not know the origin of the funds but is effectively acting as a "mule". long term vision similar to patchfinder, when we start connecting different payment options to a stellar account , we effectively turn those wallets into mini-anchors. the more payment type we connect and more users from different countries we get on board we can effectively create a peer to peer network for payment flows without the need for anchors. a simple blockchain based registry which stores the various payment options available for each user will allow for the creating of user payment graphs and the flow of payments anywhere in the world. compliance: as the payments are triggered by the account holder no additional compliance process is required.

*edit: woops large post: tl;dr: what would you like to see do me better than stellarbeat.io does? also, send me your scp explanation resources!* i got interested in the sbc project idea of building something that gets a little more useful than stellarbeat presents. the first step was getting information from stellar-core, so i built a stellar-core client, and i now have access to i think anything that's possible to get from scp nodes. the next step is figuring out what data to actually get, or maybe how to process and present it in a way that we're actually learning something useful. the basics that stellarbeat already covers are quantities, like how many validators are there, what quorumsets are they in, what are their names, where are they located, what are their peers. perhaps we could get a little jiggy and try and dig out more information about those nodes, maybe we could even build something new that actively builds information on validators, but that would be a project in and of it self. definitely a possibility though. for the basic premise though, how do we get some quality from those quantities. maybe we could measure response times? could some validator sets be more productive than others? if there's 80 validators in the network, but 10 validators actually decide on the 99% of the transactions, and 5 of those are ibm (πŸ˜›), maybe that's an indicator we're not that decentralized? not saying that's the case, just saying it might be interesting to show something like that. i have to admit that i'm just dropping in the stellar community, and have not been up to date with historical events , have there maybe been moments where the network ran into capacity or reliability issues that we might indicate or even predict with the right metrics? maybe some kind of netsplits that have seperated large groups of validators? i have been reading the paper, and watched a couple scp videos, but i'm not 100% firm yet in my understanding of how quorumsets are formed/disbanded and how transactions are submitted to quorumsets (i think anchors would submit them to full nodes through the web api of one?) if anyone has a nice resource to really cement my understanding that would be very helpful as well, in the meanwhile i think i'll re-read the paper a few times and perhaps browse some more through the stellar-core source. thanks!

readme and the bsd license to it, it sort of evolved from me playing with the api to a full stellar-core client. it's already usable as a stellar-core client library for go projects. there's two example clients in the project as well, one that gets lists of peers from nodes, and one that gets quorumsets from nodes. there's also a ruby script that crawls the entire network for nodes that accept incoming connections, which produces a list quite similar to stellarbeats' list of nodes.\n\n\nso for your step 1, i've already made good progress. i don't like c++ so i didn't opt for modifying stellar-core, instead i just reimplemented it in go. using the stellarbeat data is also a good option, they've got a nice little api endpoint that provides the entire dataset.\n\n\nstep 2) that's interesting, the way i understand it horizon has a little bit more higher level information about the network, i'm not sure if it could tell us more about quorumsets, but there's bound to be some useful information in there.\n\n\nstep 3) i personally don't like ios development at all, so if you're enthousiastic about it, definitely use stellarbeats or my data to make an awesome app, i'm sure people will appreciate it.\n\n\ni've spent some time on slack and keybase talking to people about what's useful to show in a gui, and what data is useful to collect. i'll try and come up with a

with focus node at the top with rows of validator nodes + innerquorum sets where each row indicates 1 level deeper connection. after thinking about it -- is there really any difference between an

informational purposes in exploring but not reliable for calculating trust or resilience as it's easy to have many nodes not listed or listed under different info which would seem unassociated.\n* is accepts\\_connections just the most recent value? looks like some nodes where that's false have true in history? if so seems more useful to show an average and then the full history.\n* trust\\_table is interesting. looks like = 1.0/threshold w/o inner quorumset and =1.0/threshold/innerqs-threshold if the node is in an inner quorum set. there might be a bug enhance\\_accounts line 29 see the last 3 table values for validator gckwuqgsvo45zv3qk7poyl7hmfwdkwjvmfvegujkcaevuituctqwfsm6\n\n\nimagine a case of a validator with qs like: \n\nroot-qs (threshold 1 of 2) \n\ninner-qs a (threshold 2/2: nodec, noded), inner-qs b (threshold 1/1 noded) \n\nthis is equivalent to quorumset of 1/1 of noded\n\n\naka \n\n( c && d ) || ( d ) \n\nsimplifies to \n\nd \n\nbut in your forumula you're giving trust to c. although in my analysis no validator actually reuses a node in its quorum set.\n\n\nalso, should trust be the same for a node that is in qs (threshold 1 of 1 nodes) vs qs (theshold 1 of 10 nodes).\n\n\nthis is the reason i came up with with: \n\n<https://github.com/foundero/nodestar#math>\n\n\n* trusing\\_nodes - this is what i'm calling direct incoming. also consider indirect incoming where you count all validators that indirectly trust this validator by following each quorumset node's quorumset. i think this get more towards something like pagerank. i also calc indirect outgoing... these show emergent properties of the network which i'm calling clusters (kinda like tiers) where each represents a set of validators with identical indirect incoming+outgoing sets.

![](https://i.imgur.com/3u3rbb2.png) ### **title** [lumenswap](https://lumenswap.com/) - decentralized swap protocol for the stellar network. ### **summary** lumenswap is a decentralized swap protocol for the stellar network that allows you to convert assets on the network using a friendly, minimal interface. ### **category** applications ### **goals** lumenswap aims to create a simple and minimal platform for swapping assets on the stellar network. this allows users to learn about the power and fundamental features of stellar for moving assets. ### **the benefit of lumenswap for the stellar network** having more applications that allow users to move their assets will make it easier for users to work with the network. this, in turn, increases the liquidity of the assets on the network. however, these applications can only achieve their goals if they have beautiful user interfaces and create enjoyable experiences like stellarx and stellarterm. ### **structure** **overall structure** client -> lumenswap-> horizen -> stellar network ![](https://i.imgur.com/8kd94ow.png) **swap** here, you can convert your assets. here’s a more detailed, technical explanation: once you submit a swap request (e.g., 1 btc for 10 eth), we send the request to the network using horizon api and perform a path payment strict send operation (with you as both the sender and receiver). depending on your order size and stellar’s order books, if the order can be handled, you’ll receive a success message and the swap will be performed. if the network cannot handle your order based on that moment’s order books, you’ll receive the following message: β€œyour order is too large to be processed by the network. do you want to register it as an active order on the network?” if you approve the message, we’ll run a manage buy operation using horizon. the order will remain open and active and it’ll be executed to the possible extent. the remainder will remain open and can be managed in the β€˜active orders’ section. ![](https://i.imgur.com/kwi9tk0.png) **send (soon)** there are two types of requests: 1- basic send this is a normal asset transfer to an address on the network exactly like you do in your wallet. after submitting the send request, it will be sent on the network using horizon api and a payment operation will be executed to transfer the assets to the specified address. just like that. 2- send + swap this is perfect for when you want to send one type of asset and have the other end receive another type. this is like hitting two birds with one stone: first a swap and then a send. suppose you want to send $200, but the receiver specifies eth as their preferred asset type. to do this, you need to activate a send+swap switch. as usual, a request is sent to the network using horizon which involves a path payment strict send operation (with your address as the sender and the entered address as the receiver). if the network can handle the order based on its order books at the moment of request, the operation will be executed and you’ll receive a success message. otherwise, you’ll receive an error message. in this case, you can increase the tolerance to reduce the minimum received value so that the network can handle the request. note: this section will be released on july 15 ![](https://i.imgur.com/pzjwuce.png) **minimum received** this is the minimum amount of an asset you’ll receive after the swap. the network will always give you the best recommendation, but this specifies the minimum amount. **set slippage tolerance** this shows the minimum you’ll receive. higher percentages mean you’ll receive less. **path** this represents the best path to convert the specified assets based on the order books on the network. **orders page** this part consists of two sections: 1-active orders here, you can view and delete your open or active orders. 2-completed orders here, you can view the completed orders or trades. **calculator for estimated price** lumenswap calculator uses the last registered orders on the network to estimate asset prices on the network (the calculations are performed using pairs of xlm and specific assets). suppose you want to get eth in exchange for usd. once you input 1 eth, you’ll automatically get 200 usd. how are these values calculated? in the example above, we’ll obtain the usd/xlm price based on the last buy order on the network and determine eth price based on the last eth/xlm sell order. the calculated number is then displayed on the interface. note that this is an estimation and not an exact number. note: based on our observations of the order books, the best paths mostly consist of xlm pairs. for example: snt -> llo best path: snt -> xlm -> llo **connect wallet** to use lumenswap, you need to connect your account. right now, there one way to do this: private key: to use this method, you should directly enter your private key. the key will be stored locally on your browser and deleted as soon as you log out or refresh the page. (lumenswap is an open-source application and you can review our source code to make sure everything is normal). soon, we’ll have two methods by connecting to the ledger. **listening assets** given the free and distributed nature of blockchains, we designed lumenswap to let anyone swap any assets. right now, popular assets with sufficient value are available on the platform. you can also add custom to be swapped using the following format: format: lumenswap.io/asset code1-issuer address1/asset code2-issuer address2 for example: lax -> eth lumenswap.com/lax-gazzb5kpowewk4c5s5h5b6ypr2eqmuijeffbnq6mwyyag7doeelbohlw/eth-gbdevu63y6nthjqqzikvtc23nwlqvp3wj2ri2otsjtnyoigicst6duxr note: use β€˜xlm’ for xlm asset. for example: lax -> xlm lumenswap.com/lax-gazzb5kpowewk4c5s5h5b6ypr2eqmuijeffbnq6mwyyag7doeelbohlw/xlm ### **links** website: [lumenswap.com](https://lumenswap.com/) gitlab: <https://gitlab.com/lumenswap.com/lumenswap.com> email: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) ### **tags** swap - dex - exchange - transfer

[![](https://s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/lumensforcharity.tech/assets/lumensforcharity_screenshot.png)](https://s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/lumensforcharity.tech/assets/lumensforcharity_screenshot.png) #### β—Š enable donations using lumens disregarding the *necessity of organizations to have a stellar wallet*. **stellar** focuses on ***global payments***, and making sure that the currency can be sent easily without thinking of in-between complications makes it simple for the donator and the organization to only think about the cause and how they’re contributing. this is made possible by ensuring proper integration of a **user-friendly instantaneous cryptocurrency conversion system** in the platform that converts **lumens to the organization’s preferred cryptocurrency** or (in the future) **fiat**. this means that adding more charities and non-profits on the platform is simply a process of **choosing a genuine organization with an important cause** instead of limiting our choices by selecting only the ones that explicitly accept lumens or any other cryptocurrency. #### β—Š encourage organizations to understand the world of digital currencies. while it is crucial to develop a streamlined pathway for donators to proceed with **stellar transactions** (*without caring about the minute details of the payment procedure*) through the use of crypto conversions, it is also **equally important** to take one more step and **encourage organizations to use digital currencies and accept donations directly in that format**. as with every form of currency, the more there are ways to earn and spend it, the more it’ll flourish and get adopted. so, organizations accepting lumens will help us **create a new use-case** along with a more **crypto-positive environment**. why did i created lumens for charity? ===================================== earlier, the only way to donate to charities and non-profits using lumens was through finding which organizations accept it. then among the few that currently do, the donator would’ve to go to each organization’s website and then find the donation address. thanks to [lumenthropy](https://galactictalk.org/d/1907-lumenthropy-com), we have an updated list of organizations that currently accept lumens, which helps donators to skip a step towards making donations. **however, to skip multiple steps and significantly increase the number of charities, non-profits, and causes** that we can **preferentially choose and contribute to**, it is essential to have a ***user-friendly crypto-donation system*** that helps *take our mind out of the technicality of the process* and instead, *let us put our heart in*. this is why i created **lumens for charity**, which is my answer to this problem and hopefully, will be our answer to solving critical issues around the world. why is this project valuable for stellar? ========================================= first of all, the reason for opting for any form of cryptocurrency in my project is that **donations and contributions** were, and will always be **about sharing what you have with others without any expectations or recognition**. hence, it goes hand in hand with **paying via cryptocurrencies as they’re completely anonymous**. secondly, projects like lumens for charity provides **a new use-case for digital currencies** and **help us remove some misconceptions and stigma surrounding cryptocurrency** by **associating itself with noble and trustable organizations**. due to the ***high transaction speeds of stellar transactions*** and the ***belief of the stellar development foundation in a borderless and open network***, it is ideal for my project and allows for **spontaneous international donations**. also, it is one of the suggested product and service ideas mentioned in the [developer guide - things to build](https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/things-to-build.html) which expresses this project's need to exist. what is the future for 'lumens for charity'? ============================================ ### the 2020-beginning project timeline looks like this: #### βœ” create a simplistic yet informative donation platform. #### βœ” choose a few charities and non-profits initially. #### βœ” integrate a way to perform stellar lumen donations directly to organizations. #### βŒ› enable user nomination for adding new charities and non-profits to the platform. #### πŸ• streamline the user interface by adding integrated apis. not only this, but features like **"receiving donation receipts"** and **"viewing donation history"** are also being considered. the 2020 project timeline consists of: -------------------------------------- #### 🎯 be the mainstream central platform for lumen donations. #### 🎯 invent new ways for contributions and fundraising. an example could be of subscription-based donations. #### 🎯 collaborating directly with organizations for added user-benefits. similar to how organizations like [coin center](https://coincenter.org/donate) provide donators with gifts of appreciation, which is only possible if the donation could be tracked from the originating source to the end and the donator is verified. it is only possible through deep collaboration with the charity or non-profit. how and where to access it? --------------------------- #### link - [lumensforcharity.tech](http://lumensforcharity.tech) the website is available at the link above and can be accessed using most web browsers like chrome, firefox, opera, etc. on desktop and mobile devices. #### steps to donate: 1. **select the charity or non-profit of your choice** from the currently available options and click on ***"donate"***. 2. you will be able to read a summary of the organization and the cause they're working towards. at this point, if you wish to proceed with the donation, **you can do it through one of the two ways** depending on whether the organization has a stellar wallet: a) **direct donations to stellar wallets:** click on the *pay* or *withdraw* option from your stellar wallet. either scan the qr code or copy-paste the stellar address as your destination address. if there's a memo given alongside the qr code, copy-paste it in the memo section. enter the amount of xlm to donate and proceed with the transaction. b) **donate via changelly:** enter the amount of xlm to donate. you will be able to see the real-time converted amount in terms of the organization's preferred currency. proceed to the next step where you only need to enter your email address and verify it. **do not change the destination address or the donation wouldn't reach the organization.** now, all that's left to do is send the requested amount of xlm through your stellar wallet (similar to step a) and complete the transaction. short note ---------- thanks a lot if you made it till this point, and it's good to see that you're just as well invested in contributing and making a difference in the world. i'm looking forward to starting my undergrad studies and develop more technically advanced projects like the rest of the community. however, i'm a firm believer in "giving the best you can irrespective of your skill level and competition." finally, i want to say that it will only be possible together that we make a change, and i will require your help in making this project a highlight of this scf round. if you cannot donate, at least vote this proposal, so that more people will be able to know and contribute.

build on what lumenthropy.com has been trying to accomplish. that is great!\n\n\nhowever, there are a few areas that i think important for you to know or think about.\n\n\n1. lumenthropy.com is not just an updated list of nonprofits that officially accept lumen donations. the vast majority of those nonprofits are on the list because i have been in commutation directly with the nonprofits. many times it's three months or more of back and forth communication with the head of their donations department. often it's emails and other outreach with no reply.\n2. it was an active choice to not list the wallets of each nonprofit on lumenthropy.com. this is so people can go directly to the source and make sure their donations are making it to the nonprofit. a few of the nonprofits have changed course and changed their wallet, from a non-custodial wallet to an exchange, or vise versa. by having the wallet listed on lumenthropy.com, i would have to manage those decisions and ensure i had the most updated wallet info. that's just not practical.\n3. on the same front of the decision to not list the wallet on lumenthropy.com, i think it's bad practice to get people used to donating to a nonprofit wallet that isn't sourced at the nonprofit's official site. it's way too easy for a scammer to say that it's a nonprofit wallet when it's not. people impersonate nonprofits all the time, even in the old world of knocking on someone's door and asking for cash or check.\n4. while i like the idea of being digital currency agnostic, there are inherent efficiencies in using stellar directly. more for the mission and excellent for micro donations. we can already give donations to any non-profit via visa or mastercard, but with that comes high fees to middle entities. therefore, i believe it's important to be supportive of other ways to donate, but be mindful that some ways are simply better than others for payments. therefore, in the long term benefit of nonprofits, i think the extra effort of creating the direct exposure to the benefits of stellar is worthwhile.\n\n\ni also have questions about how you would use the funds from any scf winnings. would those funds go to non-profits, or would they go to development costs?\n\n\nlastly, on a personal front, i think it would have been cool for you to first try to collaborate with me to help build and make better something i have put a lot of time into with essentially the same mission, to increase adoption while also helping people around the world. everyone in this space keeps reinventing solutions to solve the same problems. the existence of 1,000 different cryptocurrencies is proof. for example, facebook should have just worked with stellar or another project already in flight rather than try to rule it themselves with libra. /soapbox rant over.\n\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "first of all, thanks a lot for taking the time to share your thoughts and write such a detailed comment. \n\nbefore i move forward, i want to be clear on the personal side of things as relationships and this community matters to me just as the professional aspects of my business. the reason i didn't reach out to you with a collaboration proposal is that despite having similar interests, my point-of-view and approach to this problem are fundamentally different. \n\ni want to create a central platform for lumen donations where donators can find the charity they wish to donate to and do it without much hassle. i don't want them to visit every charity they just want to know a brief about, before finally deciding to donate to one or a few specific ones. at this point, they can visit the charity website through the link provided on the platform to know as much as the organization's website has to offer, but they don't have to waste more of their time finding the right donation address. i want my platform to be simple and accessible to everyone despite their level of technical knowledge. it is just a matter of entering the on-screen details located in a single and consistent place and proceeding with the transaction.\n\n\nnow, as you said, some people might have concerns about the on-screen details and their validity.\n\n\n\n> [magofox](https://galactictalk.org/d/2226/2) i think it's bad practice to get people used to donating to a nonprofit wallet that isn't sourced at the nonprofit's official site.\n> \n> \n\n\nan organization is built upon trust, so this matter is very crucial to me. hence, to address this, let me tell you the things i have done:\n\n\n* i have provided the stellar wallet address for charities or non-profits that accept lumens directly alongside their website's direct link where the destination address could be easily verified. this eliminates the possibility of having illegitimate wallet addresses as it can be checked.\n* users perform stellar transactions through their preferred wallets and can clearly see the destination address and the amount of lumens they would have to send beforehand. this eliminates the possibility of server-side address changes.\n* for donations performed through changelly, the wallet address of the charity or non-profit's preferred cryptocurrency is completely visible and modifiable inside the widget. again, a direct link to the organization's website on the platform confirms that the wallet address indeed belongs to the organization. this, as said previously, eliminates the possibility of having illegitimate wallet addresses as it's just a matter of seconds before it is verified and called out.\n\n\nregardless, keeping [magofox](https://galactictalk.org/d/2226/2)'s concerns and the state of internet security in mind, i'll be focusing on keeping this platform further secure in the coming future.\n\n\nthese comments further validate my reason for why i couldn't reach out to you and how different our approach to the problem is.\n\n\n\n> [magofox](https://galactictalk.org/d/2226/2) many times it's three months or more of back and forth communication with the head of their donations department. often it's emails and other outreach with no reply.\n> \n> \n\n\ni understand the efforts that are needed to convince an organization to not only get a stellar wallet but be an early adopter. and this is the exact reason why i feel that while it's vital to encourage organizations to accept lumens, we cannot wait until all the charities and non-profits start doing that. think of it this way, while we must proceed to invent electricity, we cannot stop using coal for the time being and progress naturally to the next state. as you stated, the above process takes a long time and often ends up with no response. so, by creating a present use-case for stellar lumens by accepting them and sending it in their preferred currency, organizations would have something on paper to understand what this cryptocurrency is about and how it is making a difference already.\n\n\n\n> [magofox](https://galactictalk.org/d/2226/2) by having the wallet listed on lumenthropy.com, i would have to manage those decisions and ensure i had the most updated wallet info. that's just not practical.\n> \n> \n\n\nwhile organizations can change their wallet address, it is not a daily occurrence that an international organization decides to change their wallet address, which is why regular checks will prevent the platform from having outdated wallet addresses. also, this could be the case for newer forms of digital currencies but the organizations listed on the platform have a history of donations made in popular cryptocurrencies on a specific wallet address for some time. again, if i can't even find a solution to regularly update those, then how will i justify the use of scf winnings? the ability to donate directly is a core functionality. i'm willing to spend on developing a solution for it.\n\n\n\n> [magofox](https://galactictalk.org/d/2226/2) we can already give donations to any non-profit via visa or mastercard, but with that comes high fees to middle entities.\n> \n> \n\n\nthis is why i'm only accepting in lumens and all conversions on the platform are made from lumens to another cryptocurrency of the organization's choice. this reduces conversion and all middle-man charges to the current minimum while allowing us to donate to organizations that aren't even aware of stellar. which this project aims to change.\n\n\n\n> [magofox](https://galactictalk.org/d/2226/2) it was an active choice to not list the wallets of each nonprofit on lumenthropy.com. this is so people can go directly to the source and make sure their donations are making it to the nonprofit.\n> \n> \n\n\nupon going through your reply and understanding your website, i feel that you need to know and accept that our solutions are different. the choices you make need not imply the actions i take on my platform. i'm willing to work on listing and updating the wallets on the platform and create an easy way to donate directly to global causes.\n\n\n\n> [magofox](https://galactictalk.org/d/2226/2) i also have questions about how you would use the funds from any scf winnings. would those funds go to non-profits, or would they go to development costs?\n> \n> \n\n\nthere was a reason why i didn't write regarding my plans pertaining to the funds from scf winnings. financial matters are very sensitive and i don't want to make wrong decisions. before i can publicly disclose the specifics of the fund allocation, i need to be certain of winning and i may have varied decisions based on the total amount of the fund. however, i will strive to be transparent with what decisions i make. thank you for your concern.\n\n\nfinally, i just want to say that without this comment, i wouldn't have been able to properly express my point-of-view, what this project is about and what it means to me. i want to apologize if you're hurt that i didn't reach out to you first. i felt that our solutions are different and deserve to co-exist like android and ios which also have the same goal but have different ways to achieve it. with that said, i want to make amends and it would be a pleasure to have your assistance throughout the way and i'll be happy to help you as well. peace out! ✌️\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "fair enough.\n\n\none comment, however, if people have to go to the nonprofit's website to make sure the official 54 character address matches what is listed on your

willing to make the world a better place but often, they don't know how to contribute. and i'm glad to know that you also thought about working on something like this. i'm in the process of adding more charities and non-profits that accept lumens or bitcoins. if there are any you really feel i should consider first, then please write it down and i'll definitely take them into consideration.

stellarguard - add enhanced security to any stellar account - improvements for sbc 7 ==================================================================================== i've been hard at work on stellarguard (<https://stellarguard.me>) since the last build challenge and have continued to make a number of security and usability improvements to make things safer and simpler for our users. since the last build challenge i've made over 200 commits and 40 production releases! project description ------------------- the purpose of stellarguard is to provide enhanced security, safety, and privacy for people and businesses who use stellar. stellarguard offers users additional protection against hackers, thieves, and insecure wallets by providing a secure and convenient way to add and manage multisignature on their stellar accounts. stellarguard adds a unique signing key to a user's account that is managed by the stellarguard service and allows them to preview, approve, or reject any transactions that are submitted to stellarguard. additionally, stellarguard offers an api for other wallet/tool developers to integrate and submit transactions to stellarguard. stellarguard aims to solve for 3 "p"s: protection, prevention, and privacy. **protection**: stellarguard was initially conceived in response to the blackwallet hack. the idea was simple: there must be a way to keep your account safe even if your secret key gets compromised. by making multisig the core safety mechanism in stellarguard, the user does not have to rely on application-level security of the tools they are using to keep them safe. **prevention**: through user education and enhanced transaction analysis tools, stellarguard hopes to help users detect and stop phishing schemes. additionally, by warning about or blocking transactions that have suspicious destination or transaction characteristics we hope to stop malware like this: <https://cointelegraph.com/news/report-2-3-million-bitcoin-addresses-targeted-by-malware-that-hijacks-windows-clipboard> (this feature is not yet implemented in stellarguard, but is on the roadmap). **privacy**: stellarguard will continue build tools to help increase privacy when using stellar, such as <https://github.com/stellarguard/secret-memo>. other tools i'd like to invest in is a coin mixing service that can help obfuscate transaction sources. changes since sbc 6 =================== i've made the following changes to stellarguard since the end of sbc 6: stellarguard is now open source ------------------------------- this is something i intended to do since i started stellarguard, but was not able to do it before the end of sbc 6. in the spirit of sbc 7 and my desire to share what i've learned and built in the hopes that others can use it or contribute to it, i've open sourced [stellarguard](https://github.com/stellarguard/stellarguard). i've created a few starter issues and will add more if interest grows. more supported wallets ---------------------- one of the largest hurdles for stellarguard is getting support for wallets. because of the way that multisig works with stellar, you currently cannot submit a partially-signed transaction to horizon so that others can sign it later -- each wallet/tool must implement its own way of dealing with multisig transactions. so there was a bit of a chicken and egg problem where we needed wallets to implement submitting transactions to stellarguard so that we could attract more users, but the wallets don't want to add features that aren't being used by their users. thankfully stellarguard grown and had proven itself to be trustworthy enough for more wallets to consider adding it. i'm humbled as i see entries to the current sbc that are talking about adding stellarguard support by default, without any prompting! with all that said, over the past few months i've worked with several wallet/exchange developers to add stellarguard support (in alphabetical order): fully supported wallets (submit transactions directly to stellarguard without copy/pasting xdr): * [foxlet](https://wallet.stellar.chat/) (coming soon in 5.0 release, pr merged here: <https://github.com/stellarchat/desktop-client/pull/258>) * [pegasus](https://pegasuswallet.com/) * [interstellar exchange](https://interstellar.exchange) * [rocket wallet](http://rocketwallet.xyz/) * [stargazer](https://getstargazer.com) * [stellarport](https://stellarport.io/) * [mystellar.tools](https://mystellar.tools) * [nucleo.fi](https://nucleo.fi/) partially supported wallets (allow xdrs to be copied so it can be manually submitted to stellarguard): * [stellar account viewer](https://www.stellar.org/account-viewer/#!/) (support for getting the xdr of multisig transactions added here: <https://github.com/stellar/account-viewer/pull/66>) * [stellar labs](https://www.stellar.org/laboratory/#txbuilder) * [stellarsigner](https://galactictalk.org/d/1143-announcing-stellarsigner-the-stellar-transaction-signer-for-ios-and-android) there are several others that are in the works now too but won't be ready for this sbc deadline. security improvements --------------------- * stellarguard private keys are stored in the database encrypted with google kms - this means that even i do not know the encryption/decryption key. only the actual service account running the code has access to decrypting the keys used to sign your transactions (since the encryption is completely managed by google kms). * recaptcha added on sign up and sign in to prevent fraudlent sign ups or sign in attempts. * added csp header to reject all non stellarguard or google api (needed for recaptcha) scripts. this significantly reduces the risk of a malicious agent being able to inject scripts. * added hsts preloading to prevent any damage from the possible hijacking of the stellarguard.me domain (like what happened with blackwallet). * released a privacy-focused typescript/javascript library for generating secret/anonymous memos: [stellar secret memo](https://github.com/stellarguard/secret-memo) enhancements to stellarguard developer api ------------------------------------------ i've added several methods to the stellarguard api and [stellarguard javascript sdk](https://github.com/stellarguard/stellarguard-js-sdk). in addition to submitting a transaction, users of the api may also: * when submitting a transaction, returns a link to the authorization page in the response so that wallets can link to it * fetch the transaction that is used to set up multisig for stellarguard * activate their stellar accounts that have stellarguard multisig activated, thus linking the account to stellarguard * check whether a given public key is protected by stellarguard, and which is the stellarguard signing public key associated with it * an optional callback url can be provided when submitting a transaction, which will be posted to when a transaction is authorized with the transaction result ux improvements --------------- * pending transaction page - see all pending transactions that need to be approved by stellarguard * added numerous tutorials for using stellarguard with various wallets * overall enhanced handling of errors and error messages, and loading states * better support for mobile (less cramped, less overflowing/chopped text) * allow auto-rejecting of interstellar exchange transactions when rejected via the instellar exchange ui * updated two-factor auth implementation to generate more secure secrets and qr codes that work better with google authenticator for android stellarguard blog ----------------- i've released a series of blog posts aimed at educating users about stellar, multisig, and stellarguard: * [securing your stellar lumens with multisig and stellarguard](https://medium.com/@stellarguard/securing-your-stellar-lumens-with-multisig-and-stellarguard-103385c671e3) * [using multisig with the stellar account viewer](https://medium.com/lumenauts/using-multisig-with-the-stellar-account-viewer-37ea60c202d3) * [stellarport and interstellar exchanges are now fully supported by stellarguard](https://medium.com/@stellarguard/stellarport-and-interstellar-exchanges-are-now-fully-supported-by-stellarguard-9f0b7151ce2c) * [stellarguard is now open source](https://medium.com/@stellarguard/stellarguard-is-now-open-source-cb476acbf1e8) * [sending secret and anonymous memos with stellar](https://medium.com/lumenauts/sending-secret-and-anonymous-memos-with-stellar-8914479e949b) and more topics are planned! improvements still in progress ------------------------------ i'm currently working on three features that i believe will address two big concerns that people have raised with stellarguard. i will have them completed by the sbc 7 deadline but wanted to get some feedback from people first. ### feature 1: allowing you to choose a transaction security mode that is separate from your stellarguard account security. right now users who verify their emails must always enter a code that is sent to their email when approving a transaction, and users who have two factor auth enabled must use it both on sign in and when approving transactions. i've gotten feedback from users that this requirement is not always convenient, and they would like the option of still protecting their stellarguard accounts with two factor auth, but have the option of dialing down transaction security when necessary (like when they are doing lots of trades in a row). here's a screenshot of what the various options will be: ![transaction security level](https://i.imgur.com/43qbpkv.png) if you have any feedback or concerns about this feature, let me know! ### feature 2: allowing users to view their stellarguard secret key or recovery phrase one major concern people have raised about stellarguard is something alone the lines of "what if you dissapear or stellarguard shuts down, what do i do?" although stellarguard allows you to add backup signers to your account already, it's a bit of a clunky process since you have to supply your secondary public key as a backup signer and many users don't know how to do that. so i'm taking a page from other wallets and the ledger nano and allowing users the option to see their stellarguard secret key (or possibly the 24 word recovery phrase) during onboarding. they then have the option of storing that themselves so they could remove stellarguard in the future in the unlikely event that we went down, without involving stellarguard at all. my question to the community: do you see any benefit to display the 24 word phrase instead of just showing them the secret key? the recovery phrase seems to actually be a bit more of a hassle to store or remember (since it'll end up being more characters). or have users just become accustomed to having the recovery phrase shown to them? ### feature 3: enhanced onboarding right now stellarguard just dumps you onto a dashboard after you register and doesn't really guide you into anything -- you just sort of have to click around until you figure out what to do next. i'm adding an onboarding/sign up wizard to guide you through the setup process. the steps will be: 1. verifying your email 2. optionally adding two factor auth 3. setting transaction security level 4. showing recovery phrase/secret key again let me know if there's any feedback you have over this (maybe you hate these sort of setup wizards and could suggest an alternative approach). --- that's a wrap! i'll be posting more screenshots as i finish up features 1-3 over the next two weeks (they all sort of come together in the onboarding steps which is why i'm doing them all 3 at the same times.) looking forward to hearing any more feedback or suggestions!

on july 31st 2020, saza will no longer be available on the web. as an alternative, i have developed an open source version of saza wallet that is available on android devices and as a desktop application on mac and linux os. in order to have access to your stellar accounts after july 31st, 2020, you will need to export your accounts before then and import them on the android or desktop app. once you login to saza.io now, you should see a prompt to export your account. for steps to import your account on the mobile app, see the guide. ### why is the web wallet shutting down? * improve safety: although, saza encrypts keys on its server, i think there is still some risk involved. ultimately, it is best for each user to be responsible for their keys. with the mobile and desktop apps, keys will be stored and encrypted locally on the device. * strength in numbers: i developed saza in 2016 and have been managing it since then. by making it open source my hope is that it will benefit from the knowledge of the community, making it more useful to everyone. * more features: support new features and operations that are now available on the stellar network. thank you for using the web wallet. i hope you find the mobile and desktop wallet useful. do not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions/comments. stay safe. ### project links * [saza website](https://saza.io/) * [download android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.saza.wallet) * [github repository](https://github.com/poliha/wallet.saza.io) * [documentation](https://docs.saza.io/)

precision, non-divisible assets, nft tokens. * cross-chain swaps. * auctions. ### concept a deployed cluster (**constellation**) consists of one leading server (**alpha**) and 5-19 **auditor** servers. all servers are deployed by independent organizations or business entities, and each party publicly confirms its identity with a standard stellar ed25519 public key. the organizations forming the constellation (and their public keys) won't be changed frequently, therefore it makes sense to ship public keys with client software to allow direct signature verification on the client side. clients communicate directly with the alpha server by sending atomic operation requests (account funding, payment, exchange order, or withdrawal request). each operation (**quantum**) is processed and acknowledged by alpha which assigns a sequence number (**apex**) based on a fifo principle, and then asynchronously verified by all auditors. alpha maintains all account records, balances, and orderbooks. when the new quantum arrives, it validates the client's signature, executes operation, and broadcasts processed quantum to all auditors. each auditor verifies and applies the quantum, sending back a signature, which essentially means its approval. when alpha receives the majority of auditors' signatures, it aggregates them and sends to the client. the client checks all the signatures and acknowledges the finality of the operation. funds received from clients are stored in a single stellar account (**vault**) protected by m-of-n multisig, where n is the total number of independent servers forming a constellation, and m is the majority of votes (>50%) plus 1. any withdrawal operation requires the majority of signatures from the quorum participants and ensured by the underlying stellar ledger. every 5 seconds alpha initiates state reconciliation (**checkpoint**). it calculates the hash of current internal status, including all balances and orderbooks, signs it and sends to auditors. each auditor also calculates the hash for the internal state and compares it with the value received from the alpha server. if the hashes don't match, auditor immediately halts processing operations queue and falls out of consensus. when the alpha can't reach consensus with the constellation, it stops all operations, rollbacks to the last quantum confirmed by the majority, and starts processing only withdrawal requests. in case if alpha is down, auditors may choose to deploy a new alpha server and proceed from the last checkpoint or initiate an emergency refund, returning all funds back to the client accounts. initial quantum acknowledgment takes only a fraction of a second. it guarantees that the account state was updated on the alpha server, and can be viewed as final for all subsequent operations inside the constellation (like trading, transfers, etc.) the **finality** (100% confidence) is ensured within a maximum of 5 seconds (one snapshot period). typically it takes only 1-3 seconds to receive the final confirmation depending on the workload on auditor servers. finality means that the quantum has been acknowledged and processed by the majority of the auditors, so a user will be able to withdraw funds even if the constellation is not operational. a quantum without a final confirmation potentially can be lost in case of the alpha server reboot or problems with consensus. therefore it is strongly recommended to wait for the final confirmation before releasing the liabilities (goods, services, bank transfers, payments on the blockchain, etc.) cross-cluster and cluster-ledger communication can be implemented based on simple on-chain swaps between clusters or using payment channels as it's much easier to organize payment channels between a few highly available clusters. with such a design, clusters will be able to trade p2p or execute arbitrage path payments on stellar dex, crossing the open stellar offers with internal orders. ### use cases combination of characteristics described above opens a wide range of possible use cases: * remittance and settlement networks may use centaurus for their services as a private settlement layer secured by stellar ledger. instant acknowledgments and high throughput allow building something like swift with minimum efforts. correspondent banks run auditor nodes while domestic banks and other financial institutions operate as clients. the setup is flexible enough to handle payments from tens of thousands of banks alongside with automatic currency conversion through the built-in exchange. the ability to specify custom permissioned logic and extended compliance rules on the auditor level is also an important feature for enterprise networks. * one of the most common problems with stellar adoption is the need to match the underlying protocol requirements: trustlines, base reserve, transaction fees. various b2c services (like loyalty programs, games, financial apps) strive to provide the abstraction on top of blockchain to simplify onboarding and ux. with centaurus, companies can deploy their private protected clusters without transaction fees or base reserve requirements. users will have a comfortable ux while performing regular tasks on the constellation backed by stellar pubnet. at the same time, they will be able to withdraw their tokens/community points to any stellar wallet and trade or use them outside the sandbox provided by the company. * a centaurus cluster may serve as a trusted distributed custodian for other services like cross-chain swaps, sidechains settlement, escrow, etc. * finally, deploying one large multipurpose constellation supported by all current stellar validators opens the way to scale pubnet throughput well beyond the current level, especially in cases that require instant payments and hft trading. trading user experience will be very similar to the traditional centralized exchanges. as soon as only asset-xlm trades pairs allowed, markets liquidity should be higher. besides that, it will be much safer, as the majority of auditors must agree on the new token listing before it will be added to the orderbooks. ### rationale stellar scp protocol is brilliant, and it proved the ability to work perfectly under the high load. however, we all can agree that we need a second layer sharding solution that will gradually decrease the workload on the mainnet and provide the overall 100x throughput increase in order to be able to compete with traditional payment systems and exchanges. we conducted detailed research on state channels that recently become increasingly fashionable thanks to bitcoin lightning network concept. this technology may be a breakthrough for direct p2p payment channels with high volumes, but it does not allow building the payment/exchange network out of the box. besides that, the concept underneath the lightning technology itself has a lot of [flaws](https://www.scipioerp.com/2018/12/12/is-lightning-ready-for-commerce/). after a series of experiments with stellar payment channels, we decided to return to the core principles of all blockchains and stellar in particular. when we talk about ledger sharding, the most straightforward approach that comes to mind is to deploy one more blockchain and operate on it, periodically synchronizing account states with the mainnet. despite the seeming simplicity of such an approach, a shard will have the same problems: limited throughput (due to the very nature of blockchain), discrete confirmation time (clients have to wait for the new block to arrive), high resources overhead (fast synchronous consensus is expensive). an ideal solution should combine the reliability and decentralization of blockchain with performance and responsiveness of centralized systems. #### async consensus principle the cornerstone principle of the async consensus paradigm based on the assumption that consensus participants may safely delay the operation validation if the assets are securely locked on the account balance in the trusted system. stellar provides the trusted environment and all required security primitives out of the box: transactions, multi-sig accounts, configurable thresholds. with such an approach, we need to get the majority of signatures from the vault account signers to process deposits and withdrawals while the inter-cluster operations (like trading, internal transfers) may be confirmed and processed by the alpha server almost in real-time and then verified by auditors post-factum. in most cases, the 99.99% confidence provided after the first confirmation from the alpha server is enough, and clients may enjoy ultra-fast operations and user experience that can be achieved only with centralized systems. bad actors cannot manipulate operations or steal user's funds unless they have the quorum majority. of course, independent organizations that deploy auditor nodes and establish a constellation are crucial for the overall system security. this part closely resembles stellar consensus model. in the case of constellation crash or quorum conflicts, the client acknowledges unconfirmed operations and recognizes them as failed. in the worst case, a few most recent operations may be lost after the constellation cluster recovery, but it's not a problem since the balances are preserved on stellar ledger. Π‘onsidering the fact that 100% finality (confirmation from the majority of auditors) can be reached in 1-3 seconds, the client may choose to wait for the operation finality or treat the first confirmation as final depending on preconditions, which is essential for enterprise-grade systems. #### simplicity principle the simplicity is another basic principle of the proposed concept. it supports only basic atomic operations, namely deposits/withdrawals, trades (submit or cancel order), and payments. due to the absence of preconditions, transactions, and fees, the operation flow is quite simple and straightforward. the engine executes payments and trades strictly sequentially, following the natural first-arrived-first-processed order. account balances and orderbooks reside entirely in memory to provide the maximum possible performance. the state can be easily restored from checkpoint snapshots after the node restart or unexpected crash. auditors communicate directly with the alpha server, which means that they can be deployed behind the firewall without public ip, and thus automatically protected from ddos and flooding attacks. in a setup with a single leading node, there is no nomination/voting/flooding network overhead. auditors simply agree or disagree with the next arrived operation sent by the alpha. in the latter case, an auditor node just falls out of consensus and stops validating. we aim to make auditor nodes deployment and administration as effortless as possible, ideally – deploy and forget. binary xdr format used for communication and a superset of stellar xdr data contracts ensures maximum compatibility with stellar network and stellar sdks. the communication protocol itself is minimalistic, as well as a fifo matching engine. fundamentally, all components are designed to be plain and straightforward to provide reliability and predictable performance while exposing minimal attack surface. #### supported platforms serverside code is implemented on .net core, so alpha and auditors can be deployed on any server platform. clients can interact with the constellation using web interface (we are working on it right now), or use api directly from any platform that supports websockets (which is ubiquitous). ### roadmap ![centaurus roadmap](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/centaurus-project/centaurus/master/docs/centaurus-roadmap.jpg) ### team we started working on this idea as a side project with [@hawthorne-abendsen](https://galactictalk.org/u/hawthorne-abendsen) about half a year ago. it is still a prototype as we were fully concentrated on the development of stellarexpert and related tools. however, we make it to the point where we finally can share the project with the community, as we implemented minimal proof-of-concept functionality, verified our assumptions, and received some close to reality test results. our orderbook and matching engine can handle ~ 1,000,000 trades per second on a single processor core. we implemented snapshots logic and basic tests for on-chain deposits/withdrawals. so now we are almost 100% sure that the proposed concept is viable. it's a huge project, and a challenging one, but it can really make a difference for stellar network. we invite community developers to join us and build it together. if this project makes it to the scf winners list, we'll reserve most of the awarded lumens for the community project contributors. we can't offer a paid position, but we promise that we'll share the rewards and any future profits with those who help us to turn this prototype into the working product. #### project links code repository (open source): <https://github.com/centaurus-project/centaurus> --- we are preparing a series of articles that will describe core concepts of the centaurus project in depth. if you are interested, stay tuned, we have some exciting ideas to share.

**title:** airhug **summary:** mobile app and chrome extension, that allows to send lumen donations instead of 'like' in social network in just one click. **goals** * charities take on commission fees from transactions. these commissions could be spent to solve global problems, not to serve the acquiring. so the first goal is to lower the charity commissions. * commonly user have to follow 5 steps when donating in the internet: 1.find the bank card 2.fill all banking account data to special inputs 3.get sms-code 4.post it to the web-page 5.wait for response the long user story prevents many users from donating and creating an unpleasant image of charity. the second goal is to make donation a β€œone-click” process and increase the amount of philantropists. **timeline** 1. second quarter of 2020 - publication of chrome extension to the browser store. supported social networks: youtube, vk, facebook. 2. third quarter of 2020 - widen the social network list: instagram, medium added. we are also going to release an airhug widget, that would be easily integrated to personal web pages. 3. fourth quarter: mobile app release. **description** we integrate a small hag icon under the content of users in popular social networks. every user can set the donation amount in the app and send it to other users or charity by clicking the hug icon. if you are a content-maker, you can choose a charity and all money, that you get from your followers, will go directly to the chosen charity. we are going to provide an opportunity to make one-click donation in all popular social networks: youtube, instagram, facebook, vkontakte etc. currently only vkontakte is integrated. each user registered in the application receives his account in the stellar network. user can transfer, deposit or withdraw money, - simple client functions. though, we try to make it more interactive and give routine transactions much more sense. for now, we are developing the chrome extension, that would be available through chrome store. in the next year we are going to release the cross-platform mobile app, that would have the same functionality, but instead of β€œicon” integration to the social network apps we provide an opportunity to share the content link via airhug mobile app. when sharing, the mobile app would parse the link and detect the counteragent of the transaction. here is the user flow description: <https://github.com/hsergeyf/airhugwebext/blob/master/readme.md> **links** demo: website: <https://airhug.click/> github: <https://github.com/hsergeyf/airhugwebext> **anything else** we want to lower the threshold for users to enter the application and the stellar network in particular. the only problem now is that we create an account in the stellar mainnet for each new user who registers through the application. this is disadvantageous for us, since the cost of one registration is at least 1 lumen. in this regard, we would not be able to support the application in long perspective. therefore, all funds raised go to the creation of new accounts and app maintenance.

**image header:** ![banner](https://i.imgur.com/psuk7dr.png) **project title:** galactic vision **summary:** galactic vision is a 3d explorer for the stellar network. **category:** applications **goals:** we want to fully build out our website to represent all aspects of the stellar network. our goal is to build a unique application for the community to help better understand the structure and activity of the network. there are plenty of tools that provide network activity stats for more experienced users. we want to focus on providing an easy entry point for new users by focusing more on the visuals than numbers. **timeline:** the core functionality has been complete since the the last stellar community build challenge. over the last few stellar community fund rounds, we have improved the app in various ways. we will continue to improve the basic experience of the app over the course of this scf round. if funded, we will be able to implement the proposed features over the next year. **description:** galactic vision is an in-browser 3d application that presents a graphical visualization of the stellar network. it features an activity explorer and a quorum explorer. the activity explorer displays the flow of assets live, including payments, trades, and offers, while the quorum explorer displays all participating nodes on a globe of the earth along with the trust based connections between them. the user can interact with the scene to view additional information such as wallet and node data. **activity explorer** ![activity explorer](https://i.imgur.com/rfhxmin.gif) the activity explorer shows live activity occurring on the network. network activity can either be observed from a glance, or interacted with to get more information. the current setup involves a space station representing the stellar network as the centerpiece. as data comes in, planets are spawned around the space station to represent accounts. particles are emitted from the planets to represent assets. the particles travel to the space station to be processed, then are directed to the destination planet to finish the operation. ![activity explorer 2](https://i.imgur.com/7gdfmqc.gif) each planet is able to be clicked on to enter account view. this allows the user to explore the balances and recent history of the account. **quorum explorer** ![quorum 1](https://i.imgur.com/6kynus2.gif) quorum explorer is a visualization of quorum sets. it displays a globe with official validator node locations and creates links between them to represent each nodes quorum set. the user can isolate each node to see its connections and learn more specific information about it. when viewing a node, green links represent nodes that the current node trusts, and cyan links represent nodes that trust the current node. the sidebar is sorted by trust index. the more nodes trust a specific node, the higher its trust index. there are three ways to navigate to nodes. you can either use the sidebar navigation on the left, click the pins the globe, or use the node info sidebar on the right to travel to related nodes. the data is provided by stellarbeat. we will be taking a new approach for this new scf round. instead of creating stretch goals for features based on likes, we will be doing regular updates instead. our focus in the short term will be to improve the user experience of the existing application. **current upgrades include:** better space station model (special plan for this, stay tuned!) add more visual information to reflect network activity in the default explorer view better quorum set analysis implement unique animations per operation type to help identify network activity visually **planned features:** **redesigned 3d explorer engine (in progress)** to improve the representation of network activity, space station environment will be changed. instead of each operation spawning planets, two spaceships will warp into the scene to represent the asset transfer. upon warp in, the sender spaceship will launch their asset to the space station to be processed, then redirected to the receiving spaceship before warping back out of the scene. the spaceships can be clicked on to view the transaction, as well as having the option to travel to the ship's home planet to view the full account. **transaction viewer** past transactions in the account viewer will be able to be clicked on to view the transaction in 3d while showing additional stats pertaining to it. **mobile friendly design** the current app is designed around viewing on a pc/laptop. we will create a mobile friendly layout for users on the go. **stellar consensus protocol graphical tutorial** an interactive tutorial that shows how the stellar consensus protocol works in 3d. this will be based on the β€œadventures in galactic consensus” stellar web comic. this could end up taking a lot of work and may end up becoming its own proposal in the future if fitting. **decentralized exchange mode** to improve upon the current activity explorer, a specialized exchange activity mode will be implemented. this will allow users to view the live exchange activity of each asset as well as various statistics. **network growth time lapse** an intergalactic look at how the stellar universe has expanded since its big bang. users can watch the growth of multiple aspects of the network over time such as accounts, transactions, assets, lumen distribution, ledger close times. **links:** website: <http://galactic.vision> github:

graphite has been updated with new features and enhancements for entry into the november 2017 sbc. some of the most notable improvements are described here in this post. eight additional data aggregation types have been added. the additional new types are shown in the list below. 1. average : (average price of the trades during the period.) 2. median : (midpoint of the trading price for the period.) 3. lwa : (linear weighted average price for the period.) 4. ema : (exponentially weighted average price for the period.) 5. vwap : (volume weighted average price for the period.) 6. evwa : (elastic volume weighted average price for the period.) 7. sd : (standard deviation of the trading price for the period.) 8. variance : (variance of the trades for the period.) all the aggregation is done using a segregated first order method that is provided by the rocket data service. improved data scrubbing has also been added to provide a cleaner view of the price data. the level of data scrubbing can be controlled dynamically by the user through a web api provided by the rocket data service. there is now a new simple line type graph. the line graph will retrieve a visualization of the latest available aggregated price data each time the url image link is accessed. the new line graph type will make it possible to view any of the individual aggregate types that are created from the price data. this line graph can also have a theme applied like other current and future graphite graph types. some of the theme options that have been added just for the line type graph include line style type, line color, line width, choice of displaying a symbol marking each of the interval period points and the symbol that is used. the graph theme support now has some first time exposure. it is now possible to change the theme each time a request is made to the graph endpoint. this is done using the `theme` url parameter for example: <https://lumag.solutions/linegraph.svg&theme=galactictalk>. an attempt has been made to create a basic graph theme that might some what match the colors used here on galactictalk. the galactictalk theme was created by modifying a little over half of the 120 or so settings available in a theme configuration. this example theme probably does not provide the best aesthetics, but should give an idea of how adjusting various theme settings can change the appearance of a graph. ![new line graph type](https://lumag.solutions/linegraph.svg&theme=galactictalk "new line graph type") the graph above is using the new line type with the `galactictalk` example theme. the graph also is using a new aggregate method of vwap, which is just one of 8 that are newly available. the theme support can be seen in action by requesting the graph without specifying a `theme` parameter in the url for example <https://lumag.solutions/linegraph.svg>. if no theme is specified, then the default `dark` theme will be used.

[ { "text": "the graphing capabilities of graphite have been further expanded to provide dynamic time period display. the feature is accessed using a `toperiod` url parameter. this is accomplished by dynamically performing a secondary aggregation of the data that has previously been aggregated using any of the available methods. since the graphs are using the fast and efficient rocket data service the performance impact of this secondary aggregation is minimal only adding about 5 or 10 milliseconds to the total graph rendering time.\n\n\nbefore describing the details of using the new `toperiod` url parameter, some limitations of the current implementation will be mentioned.\n\n\n1. it is only possible to apply the secondary aggregation using a higher time period, because calculating the data to form a smaller period would require magic. for example if the original aggregate was configured to use 1 hour, then going to 2, 3, 4, etc hours, days, weeks or what ever larger period would be possible.\n2. the method used to perform the secondary aggregation is fixed to `average`. it could be possible to allow for other methods using a separate url parameter, but we are currently aiming for simplicity and ease of use for now.\n3. only the line type graphs currently support using the `toperiod` url parameter.\n4. only whole numbers are accepted. for example trying to use 6.8 hours won't work and will just quietly be rounded down to 6 hours.\n\n\nthe value to assign to the `toperiod` url parameter is formed using any whole number an underscore then a time period. some examples are `38_hours`, `2_days`, `9_hours`, etc. the current recognizable time periods are `seconds`, `minutes`, `hours`, `days`, and `weeks`. so a complete example url would look like this <https://lumag.solutions/linegraph.svg&toperiod=9_hours>. it is also possible of course to combine with any other url parameters described in this or previous posts for example `startingdate`, `width` `height`, `theme` and etc.\n\n\nto wrap up, the graphite graphing solution provides fast efficient low bandwidth graphs of all assets on the stellar network. these graphs can be accessed by simply using a url link. many different url parameters can be used to dynamically control the graph configuration on a per request basis. this will allow ico, token and asset issuers to easily include price graphs for their offerings in the investor information areas of their websites. graphs can now be easily included in any website without needing to integrate with large heavy javascript libraries that can drastically slow page load times. there is also no need to use complex limiting `<iframes>` type solutions with these graphs. graphite graphs are also very suitable for low bandwidth mobile applications.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "the graphite graphs are again updating properly. seems there was a breaking change made to horizon upstream, but all should be well now.\n\n\nfor the next sbc we have plans to show some great unique innovative tools to maximize the potential in receiving a favorable exchange rate on the stellar network. this would be useful when providing remittance or transfer services to clients and could provide a means to not just lower the overall costs, but potentially create a profit while using the stellar network. it could also provide a benefit to trading applications.\n\n\nwe are also currently taking any feature requests for the next sbc, so if there any really interesting innovative ideas pertaining to data visualization and analysis using the stellar network we would like to hear them so we could possibly try to implement them.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false } ]

it's a wallet. it's an exchange...no. it's interstellar. ======================================================== let me re-introduce myself -------------------------- [interstellar](https://interstellar.exchange) is a multi-awesome wallet and decentralized exchange. interstellar takes everything great stellar has to offer and packages it into one nice coherent user experience tailored just for you. because we know you are special, and deserve the best. i swear marketing told me to say that πŸ™‚. as a stellar user, i'll try listing some of the features that'll make interstellar very useful for you. multi-awesome wallet. --------------------- * **full control:** full control over your secret keys. this is power. and it comes with great responsibilities. * **universal** : interstellar runs on all modern browsers on your mobile, tablet and desktop. * **security:** your secret keys are encrypted on your local device with a password only you know about. your secret keys are never sent to a remote device. * **multiple accounts**: this is a biggie. manage an unlimited number of stellar accounts **simultaneously**. you can easily manage your personal, family, and/or business accounts in the same session. * **activate accounts**: this is another biggie. instead of begging tom or jerry to give you lumens to fund (activate) your account, you can fully fund your account with either btc or ltc. after receiving either btc or ltc, interstellar will fund your account with 6.5 xlm at market price. when you then trust our btc or ltc asset, interstellar will credit you your remaining btc or ltc. * **multisig**: this is our biggest biggie. for extra security, we included support for accounts with multiple signatures. multisig is a great way to protect an account against theft, loss, or death of an account stakeholder. your business partners or your spouse and you can share an account that requires multiple signatures before any transaction is approved. * **sanity checks**: interstellar checks and warns you if you are sending lumens to an exchange without the required memo field. this will help many newbies trying to send lumens to an exchange. * **others**: federation, history, send, receive, trustlines, inflation destination, home domain, merge accounts, backups, offline account viewer, real time alerts, secure brainwallet with emojis... multi-awesome anchor. --------------------- * **ui for deposits & withdrawals**: btc, ltc for now. segwit support activated. multi-awesome sdex. ------------------- * **fully decentralized**: centralized exchanges have this stronghold belief that you shouldn't be allowed to trade any token you wish. interstellar is different. with interstellar, you can trade any stellar token for any other stellar token. no limits. no restrictions. interstellar gives you the **full** unrestricted power of the stellar dex. this means the next big or small stellar ico will instantly be available to trade within interstellar. no permission required. * **swap**: don't feel like trading? use interstellar's swap feature to swap stellar tokens in one click. it works just like a decentralized version of shapeshift. * **charts**: beautiful candlesticks and orderbook depth charts for the beginning to intermediate quants amongst us. not for the super quants πŸ™‚ . * **no trading fees**: not now. not ever. our very own robinhood built with stellar. * **no inflation tricks**: not now. not ever. changes since the last sbc. --------------------------- * **ledger support**: we integrated ledger support into interstellar, with custom bip32 paths. everything you could do before with interstellar, you can now do with your ledger hardware wallet. given that we initially only supported multiple accounts with secret keys, this required a significant rewrite in many parts of our codebase. * **new ui/ux**: we changed the ui/ux significantly to make it easier to access frequently used features. this includes the addition of an always displayed menu bar at the bottom of the screen that highlights what we consider to be the 5 most frequently used features in interstellar: (wallet, deposits, withdrawals, swap and trade). * **improved history**: we significantly improved the way we display effects and transactions. more aesthetic, more pertinent info. * **trading**: we made smoother candlesticks, orderbook depth charts that filter out outliers, and added **popular** trading pairs for easy asset discovery. * **asset issuers**: auto-discovery, *validation*, and display of an asset issuer's home-domain. * **new anchor service**: this is a *huuuge* biggie. we completely rewrote our btc and ltc anchoring service to make it more extendable, scalable and secure. internal codename, **warp drive**. why? because our anchor service was getting used a lot and we had to prepare it for interstellar travel (usage). i swear, marketing told me to say this too πŸ™‚. our new anchor service, powered by **warp drive**, is now its own separate service <https://cryptoanchor.io>. this new anchor service can be used by other wallets. * **delete account**: you can now delete any account you added into interstellar. * **lumenaut**: we made it super easy to setup lumenaut as your inflation destination. * **light/dark themes**: we added a light theme on interstellar.exchange, for those of us who don't like dark themed apps. but once you go dark, you just can't go back. * **one last thing**: we now have a logo! this changes everything! we also fixed a thousand and one bugs. but we know they are still creeping there somewhere. your feedback is most welcomed. we'll post updates as they happen. interstellar. *per ardua ad astra!* links ----- * **interstellar mainnet**: <https://interstellar.exchange> * **interstellar testnet**: <https://testnet.interstellar.exchange>

through multisig and two-factor auth. users with stellarguard-enabled accounts would submit their transactions to stellarguard instead of to a horizon server. they then receive an email asking them to authorize their transaction β€” either entering a code that was emailed to them or an authenticator code if they have that enabled. stellarguard then signs the transaction with the other half of the multisig keys and submits it to the stellar network.\n\n\nthere are two ways this integration could work:\n\n\n1. there is a stellarguard rest api and accompanying javascript sdk (<https://github.com/stellarguard/stellarguard-js-sdk>) that you can integrate into interstellar. this is what most wallets that have integrated with stellarguard have done.\n\n\nor\n\n\n2. if you have your own multisig coordinator api that stellarguard can listen for signing requests on and submit back to you, then i can add that to stellarguard instead. that’s the approach we took with

![](https://www.riskebiz.com/images/riskebiz.png) **title:** riskebiz microequity funding platform **summary:** the riskebiz microequity platform is a service where entrepreneurs can share their ideas for microenterprises and have them funded through equity offerings. **category:** applications, tools & infrastructure **goals:** we believe micro equity helps to realize the full potential of microfinance by addressing some of the key challenges with microcredit. however, there are challenges in offering microequity to microenterprises because microenterprises are not incorporated and have no legal structure, there is no exit for the business, either through sale or ipo, microenterprises rarely use external accountants and may not keep formal records at all, and most transactions are in cash. we believe blockchain technology, and in particular stellar, offers a solution to the most important of these challenges. our plan is to address each challenge through our micro equity platform and increase the utilization of micro equity as a replacement to micro credit in the process. **timeline:** february 2020 - beta platform completed. june to september 2020 - rollout with microfinance institution (mfi). june to september 2020 - addition of accredited investors. ongoing - improvements to ui, debugging, development of mobile app. **description:** our microequity platform is build on the stellar blockchain. the key feature of stellar that has application to solve microequity challenges is its ability to issue assets. assets can be issued just like shares in a company, and it is recorded on an immutable public ledger than everyone can see. blockchain assets have been used extensively for initial coin offerings (ico) and now the regulated version security token offerings (sto). through our platform, microenterprises can create their own asset with custom name or symbol just as they would incorporating a company. just as a company would set the number of shares to be issued in an incorporation, they set the number of assets to be issued on the stellar blockchain. these assets can then be distributed to investors through our platform. the issued assets are publicly visible, but ownership is anonymous. the holder of the private key for the asset is able to move them. this transparency makes it possible to confirm with 100% certainty that certain assets were issued to an investor, and this would be irrefutable. once assets are issued, they can be traded on a decentralized exchange much in the same way that shares in company are tradeable on a stock exchange like the tsx v. because the exchanges are decentralized, any asset can be listed, and cost is minimal. riskebiz employs a prediction market to help determine the potential of a listed microenterprise to succeed. this reduces the amount of time investors will need to spend evaluating each opportunity and provide some feedback for entrepreneurs that their pitch may need some improvement. to begin exploring investment opportunities, users select β€œbrowse ideas” from the home page. this will take them to the idea listing page where all entrepreneur ideas are posted. ideas are ranked based on probability of funding which is determined through the prediction market. selecting an idea from the list, the user is taken to the idea details page where information about the idea is displayed including the idea title, pitch, date, funding probability percentage (based on prediction market). user is presented with a button to make a prediction on the funding probability. also included on this page are a list of comments posted about the idea from other users and the number of likes. from this page the user can add their own comment or add a like. if the user is interested in getting more information on the opportunity from the entrepreneur, he/she can select the option to message the entrepreneur directly. greater detail on the platform and the project in general is available in the business summary accessible at the link below. **links:** platform - [www.riskebiz.com](https://www.riskebiz.com) video - registration & idea creation - <https://youtu.be/4v6rwzcmphu> video - creating an offering - <https://youtu.be/wq1pvquozmy> video - prediction market - <https://youtu.be/ltazumvvols> business summary - <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iwqghosgzaro62xhurmnymfas0lcznqi/view?usp=sharing> tags: microfinance, microequity, asset, offering, microcredit, stellar, blockchain

**project title**Β  undiscovered story game β€œcelebrating the achievements of girls & women throughout her-story” **summary**Β  undiscovered story is a learn & earn cryptocurrency blockchain game that celebrates the achievements of girls & women throughout her-story. undiscovered story game [<https://undiscoveredstory.com/>] official undiscovered story website: [<https://wirdwrld.io/undiscovered-story/>] **goals**Β  * bring positive attention and exposure to stellar based gaming, payments, and security. * build a cryptocurrency and blockchain product for mass adoption that is easy, fun and engaging to use and play. * educate the general public on the accomplishments of girls and women throughout history in science, technology, math, engineering, and the social good arena. * build a progressive web application (pwa) front end to lower the friction of onboarding new users and provide a consistent look and feel on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. * utilize a combination of on-chain and off-chain mechanisms for extra security as well as testing before feature upgrades on the live server. **description**Β  undiscovered story gives players the opportunity to learn about blockchain, earn cryptocurrencyΒ andΒ to do social good. for each correct answer they give, players earn one undiscovered story game token (udgt), the game’s native crypto token. when an incorrect answer is given, instead of β€œburning” the token as many other crypto projects do, the token the player would have won is donated to a vetted girl or women-led charity, initiative, or business. the game also features a permission-based social good advertisement system. most everyone we have interviewed does not like being interrupted by advertisements, and most either turn down the volume or walk away to do something else while an ad plays. our technical solution has permissioned based advertisements at the end of the game leaving the game player in full control. the ads feature only a comment bar. if a game player views the ad until the end, and offers a constructive comment to the advertising partner, they will receive a reward creating a win-win solution and relationship for the game player and the advertiser. the game player wins by being rewarded with udgt, and the advertiser wins by knowing that their ad has been watched fully. weekly and monthly β€œbonus pools”, allow users who have at least 44 udgt tokens in their wallet to participate in being selected to receive 10,000 udgt or more. **the undiscovered story game is valuable for stellar because** 1. stellar is virtually unknown outside of blockchain and cryptocurrency professionals and enthusiasts. the undiscovered story game has the ability to make stellar a household name and bring positive attention and exposure to stellar based gaming, payments, and security. 2. it is easy enough for our moms to use. one of the glaring problems with almost every blockchain and cryptocurrency based product or service is that they are generally not easily usable by the average person, as our moms. we have discovered through our face to face interviews and online research with everyday persons, including moms, dads, young adults, and teens, that unless a product is easy to use mass adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrency product or service is not going to happen. 3. girls and women have been largely overlooked in science, technology, math, and in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sphere. the undiscovered story game celebrates their achievements using a blockchain smart contract and digital currency built using stellarΒ΄s open source codebase. **how our project utilizes stellar** undiscovered story utilizes a stellar blockchain smart contract, and a stellar xlm based token called udgt. every initially registered game player is given the games stellar wallet with a predetermined amount of undiscovered story game tokens (udgt). 
for every correct answer, a game player is rewarded with a deposit of udgt into their wallet. when players choose the incorrect answers, a portion of any rewards are also deducted from the game player’s wallet, and distributed to a network of verified charities operating around the world utilizing a stellar smart contract. 16 custom api’s were created to serve different modules of our application which involves on-chain stellar smart contract api’s and off-chain firebase/firestore api’s all working harmoniously together.
 the frontend is developed on reactjs with the backend developed on nodejs from where the api’s are being served. heroku is used as a middle tier/server to serve the stellar smart contract as well as firebase apiΒ΄s which are responsible to fetch and push the data from firebase according to the request being made.
 **off-chain gaming mechanism** we are using two services from firebase: * hosting (our app is hosted on firebase’s hosting platform) * firestore (that is our real-time database) the firebase service for the database is entirely serving the off-chain gaming mechanism. this permits us to perform future game upgrades without affecting the stellar smart contract and the transactions made through the smart contract. this off-chain gaming mechanism records the transactions made on the stellar smart contract, with the responses of every transaction being recorded in the firebase/firestore database in realtime. this implementation allows us to always have a backup record of every transaction that occurs or has occurred. this off-chain gaming mechanism allows for extra protection of game user data in case of any major changes or updates to the stellar network. 
 cross-platform. our progressive web application (pwa) provides a consistent look and feel on all desktops, tablets, mobile devices, and browsers. **links:**Β  undiscovered story game [<https://undiscoveredstory.com/>] official undiscovered story website: [<https://wirdwrld.io/undiscovered-story/>] github: [<https://github.com/wirdpbc>] official telegram group and news: [<https://t.me/officialundiscoveredstorygame>] medium: [<https://medium.com/@wirdwrld>]

![](https://i.ibb.co/m5rtbf6/lumenswap-banner.png) ### **title** [lumenswap](https://lumenswap.io/) is a decentralized swap app for the stellar network that allows you to swap assets on the network using a friendly, minimal interface. ### **video** ### **goals** lumenswap aims to create a simple and minimal platform for swapping assets on the stellar network. this allows users to learn about the power and fundamental features of stellar for moving assets. the benefit of lumenswap for the stellar network having more applications that allow users to move their assets will make it easier for users to work with the network. this, in turn, increases the liquidity of the assets on the network. however, these applications can only achieve their goals if they have beautiful user interfaces and create enjoyable experiences like stellarx and stellarterm. ### **the benefit of lumenswap for the stellar network** having more applications that allow users to move their assets will make it easier for users to work with the network. this, in turn, increases the liquidity of the assets on the network. however, these applications can only achieve their goals if they have beautiful user interfaces and create enjoyable experiences like stellarx and stellarterm. ### **structure** **overall structure** client -> lumenswap-> horizen -> stellar network ![](https://i.ibb.co/vqwrqnv/how-it-works.png) **swap** here, you can convert your assets. here’s a more detailed, technical explanation: once you submit a swap request (e.g., 1 btc for 10 eth), we send the request to the network using horizon api and perform a path payment strict send operation (with you as both the sender and receiver). depending on your order size and stellar’s order books, if the order can be handled, you’ll receive a success message and the swap will be performed. if the network cannot handle your order based on that moment’s order books, you’ll receive the following message: β€œyour order is too large to be processed by the network. do you want to register it as an active order on the network?” if you approve the message, we’ll run a manage buy operation using horizon. the order will remain open and active and it’ll be executed to the possible extent. the remainder will remain open and can be managed in the β€˜active orders’ section. ![](https://i.ibb.co/c2tngrx/swap-request-2.png) **send** there are two types of requests: 1- basic send this is a normal asset transfer to an address on the network exactly like you do in your wallet. after submitting the send request, it will be sent on the network using horizon api and a payment operation will be executed to transfer the assets to the specified address. just like that. 2- send + swap this is perfect for when you want to send one type of asset and have the other end receive another type. this is like hitting two birds with one stone: first a swap and then a send. suppose you want to send $200, but the receiver specifies eth as their preferred asset type. to do this, you need to activate a send+swap switch. as usual, a request is sent to the network using horizon which involves a path payment strict send operation (with your address as the sender and the entered address as the receiver). if the network can handle the order based on its order books at the moment of request, the operation will be executed and you’ll receive a success message. otherwise, you’ll receive an error message. in this case, you can increase the tolerance to reduce the minimum received value so that the network can handle the request. ![](https://i.ibb.co/xmyhbkw/send-request.png) **minimum received** this is the minimum amount of an asset you’ll receive after the swap. the network will always give you the best recommendation, but this specifies the minimum amount. set slippage tolerance this shows the minimum you’ll receive. higher percentages mean you’ll receive less. **path** this represents the best path to convert the specified assets based on the order books on the network. **orders page** this part consists of two sections: 1-active orders here, you can view and delete your open or active orders. 2-completed orders here, you can view the completed orders or trades. **calculator for the estimated price** lumenswap calculator uses the last registered orders on the network to estimate asset prices on the network (the calculations are performed using pairs of xlm and specific assets). suppose you want to get eth in exchange for usd. once you input 1 eth, you’ll automatically get 200 usd. how are these values calculated? in the example above, we’ll obtain the usd/xlm price based on the last buy order on the network and determine eth price based on the last eth/xlm sell order. the calculated number is then displayed on the interface. note that this is an estimation and not an exact number. note: based on our observations of the order books, the best paths mostly consist of xlm pairs. for example: snt -> llo best path: snt -> xlm -> llo **connect wallet** to use lumenswap, you need to connect your account. right now, there one way to do this: private key: to use this method, you should directly enter your private key. the key will be stored locally on your browser and deleted as soon as you log out or refresh the page. (lumenswap is an open-source application and you can review our source code to make sure everything is normal). albedo :in this method, you must first install the albedo browser extension this method is very safe because you can signing or identity verification without ever exposing your secret key we have ledger and trezor in our plans, we will add them in the future. **listening assets** given the free and distributed nature of blockchains, we designed lumenswap to let anyone swap any assets. right now, popular assets with sufficient value are available on the platform. you can add you a custom asset by following the steps below: 1-click the β€œadd button” ![](https://i.ibb.co/xjt5hqy/01.jpg) 2-enter the "asset code" and "asset issuer" of the asset you want to add, and then click on the β€œadd asset” button ![](https://i.ibb.co/t1cpyjn/01.jpg) 3- congratulations, the asset was successfully added to the list of assetsπŸ™‚ ![](https://i.ibb.co/cvv3hzk/01-2.jpg) **logo** ![](https://i.ibb.co/gnylk4n/lumen-swap-logo-client-present2.jpg)

hey guys! we want to announce our project chipper cash - a platform to enable simple frequent peer to peer microtransactions amongst users in african countries, starting with ghana. chipper cash is a financial platform that takes advantage of stellar technology to remove the fragmentation in payment systems within and between countries in the developing world. we utilize the pervasiveness of mobile money technology and the efficiency of the stellar network to provide quick and seamless payment processes. ever since we discovered stellar and the core of the mission behind stellar.org, we knew that this is platform that we felt most in line with so we decided to bet on this and build the core of our wallet here. how does it work? ================= sign up flow is very similar to square cash. a user signs up with their phone number, fills registration forms and now can send money to any other phone number registered on the platform. we are issuing assets in the native countries we support (ghana cedis to begin with but later on nigerian naira, ugandan shillings etc down the line as we expand and get regulated in those countries). a user can then send/request for money to another user's phone number and these transactions happen on chain on stellar. the user does not know that these transactions are occurring on stellar, all she knows is, i just sent 5 ghana cedis to my uncle. or i just received a request for 10 ghana cedis from leslie. we want to keep to true open protocol nature of stellar such that, other 3rd party wallets that build on top of stellar could also send money to anyone's chipper wallet (and vice versa) regardless of whether these people know what stellar is. (eg. not many people know what pop3/imap protocols are but pretty much everyone can send email from hotmail to yahoo to gmail) for our first version - in order to cash in/cash out, our users can link their various mobile money wallets to their chipper accounts, and as such this provides some sort of interoperability amongst mobile money networks all over. you can think of a linked mobile money account the same way you’d think of linking your bank account to your square cash/venmo account. current work ------------ currently building a web app so we can iterate, experiment and gather feedback faster but we will be building native ios/android apps and possibly a ussd app for our users who run on only feature phones. current landing page website: <http://chippercash.com> we have a current prototype: <https://web.chippercash.com> would love any feedback this community has!

sense because it is 17900xlm/1btc. \n\nmore generally, on stellarport, we represent the price as the result of n units of a / m units of b.\n\n\ni think the reason your standard exchange does it the other way is because in a standard exchange you cannot invert the trading pair. however, on stellar any asset can be traded against any other asset in any which way.\n\n\nfor instance on the crypto exchanges you always buy the alts with btc. so, xlm/btc means that you are buying xlm with your btc. this is in contrast to your standard way of expressing prices:\n\n\n1$/apple means 1$/1apple, in other words you are buying apples with dollars. the asset you are buying with is on top and the asset you are purchasing is below.\n\n\nin some ways, due to its flexibility, trading with stellar is

trade* \n\nonce the fee calculation is understood, what should i type in the \"offer xlm\" field to receive exactly 2.0 atoz? \n\ni challenge you to find the answer without a pen and a paper! \n\nif that were not enough, the correct answer depends in some cases on wether your algorithm rounds or truncates the fee amount… \n\n(explained 2/ )\n\n\npossible solutions: \n\n. allow spending more from the base asset than what's the user typed, in order to collect fees. \n\ni, for example, don't care at all paying 2.0xxxxxx xlm instead of 2.0xlm to get what i precisely want that is: 2.0 atoz. \n\n.

hello guys, i see many apps out there recharging cell phones, paying bills, water and electricity, with tokens from the stellar network, i want to do something similar here in brazil. how exactly do i do this? i thought of the following in the following solution: assuming that i already have my asset / tokn neuro below all ready .... let's say: the user bought an neuro asset / token, now he wants to recharge his cell phone or pay a water or electricity bill etc ... what should i really do? simply convert my neuro asset / token to brl (real) fiduciary currency and use traditional payment methods? or is there something else?

![](https://i.imgur.com/3u3rbb2.png) ### **title** [lumenswap](https://lumenswap.com/) - decentralized swap protocol for the stellar network. ### **summary** lumenswap is a decentralized swap protocol for the stellar network that allows you to convert assets on the network using a friendly, minimal interface. ### **category** applications ### **goals** lumenswap aims to create a simple and minimal platform for swapping assets on the stellar network. this allows users to learn about the power and fundamental features of stellar for moving assets. ### **the benefit of lumenswap for the stellar network** having more applications that allow users to move their assets will make it easier for users to work with the network. this, in turn, increases the liquidity of the assets on the network. however, these applications can only achieve their goals if they have beautiful user interfaces and create enjoyable experiences like stellarx and stellarterm. ### **structure** **overall structure** client -> lumenswap-> horizen -> stellar network ![](https://i.imgur.com/8kd94ow.png) **swap** here, you can convert your assets. here’s a more detailed, technical explanation: once you submit a swap request (e.g., 1 btc for 10 eth), we send the request to the network using horizon api and perform a path payment strict send operation (with you as both the sender and receiver). depending on your order size and stellar’s order books, if the order can be handled, you’ll receive a success message and the swap will be performed. if the network cannot handle your order based on that moment’s order books, you’ll receive the following message: β€œyour order is too large to be processed by the network. do you want to register it as an active order on the network?” if you approve the message, we’ll run a manage buy operation using horizon. the order will remain open and active and it’ll be executed to the possible extent. the remainder will remain open and can be managed in the β€˜active orders’ section. ![](https://i.imgur.com/kwi9tk0.png) **send (soon)** there are two types of requests: 1- basic send this is a normal asset transfer to an address on the network exactly like you do in your wallet. after submitting the send request, it will be sent on the network using horizon api and a payment operation will be executed to transfer the assets to the specified address. just like that. 2- send + swap this is perfect for when you want to send one type of asset and have the other end receive another type. this is like hitting two birds with one stone: first a swap and then a send. suppose you want to send $200, but the receiver specifies eth as their preferred asset type. to do this, you need to activate a send+swap switch. as usual, a request is sent to the network using horizon which involves a path payment strict send operation (with your address as the sender and the entered address as the receiver). if the network can handle the order based on its order books at the moment of request, the operation will be executed and you’ll receive a success message. otherwise, you’ll receive an error message. in this case, you can increase the tolerance to reduce the minimum received value so that the network can handle the request. note: this section will be released on july 15 ![](https://i.imgur.com/pzjwuce.png) **minimum received** this is the minimum amount of an asset you’ll receive after the swap. the network will always give you the best recommendation, but this specifies the minimum amount. **set slippage tolerance** this shows the minimum you’ll receive. higher percentages mean you’ll receive less. **path** this represents the best path to convert the specified assets based on the order books on the network. **orders page** this part consists of two sections: 1-active orders here, you can view and delete your open or active orders. 2-completed orders here, you can view the completed orders or trades. **calculator for estimated price** lumenswap calculator uses the last registered orders on the network to estimate asset prices on the network (the calculations are performed using pairs of xlm and specific assets). suppose you want to get eth in exchange for usd. once you input 1 eth, you’ll automatically get 200 usd. how are these values calculated? in the example above, we’ll obtain the usd/xlm price based on the last buy order on the network and determine eth price based on the last eth/xlm sell order. the calculated number is then displayed on the interface. note that this is an estimation and not an exact number. note: based on our observations of the order books, the best paths mostly consist of xlm pairs. for example: snt -> llo best path: snt -> xlm -> llo **connect wallet** to use lumenswap, you need to connect your account. right now, there one way to do this: private key: to use this method, you should directly enter your private key. the key will be stored locally on your browser and deleted as soon as you log out or refresh the page. (lumenswap is an open-source application and you can review our source code to make sure everything is normal). soon, we’ll have two methods by connecting to the ledger. **listening assets** given the free and distributed nature of blockchains, we designed lumenswap to let anyone swap any assets. right now, popular assets with sufficient value are available on the platform. you can also add custom to be swapped using the following format: format: lumenswap.io/asset code1-issuer address1/asset code2-issuer address2 for example: lax -> eth lumenswap.com/lax-gazzb5kpowewk4c5s5h5b6ypr2eqmuijeffbnq6mwyyag7doeelbohlw/eth-gbdevu63y6nthjqqzikvtc23nwlqvp3wj2ri2otsjtnyoigicst6duxr note: use β€˜xlm’ for xlm asset. for example: lax -> xlm lumenswap.com/lax-gazzb5kpowewk4c5s5h5b6ypr2eqmuijeffbnq6mwyyag7doeelbohlw/xlm ### **links** website: [lumenswap.com](https://lumenswap.com/) gitlab: <https://gitlab.com/lumenswap.com/lumenswap.com> email: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) ### **tags** swap - dex - exchange - transfer

for my project, i extensively documented stellar's python sdk: <https://github.com/stellarcn/py-stellar-base/pull/87> my hope is that this will make the stellar sdk for python much easier to understand (not only from its quickstart and install guides, but also its complete api documentation), and will make it a lot easier for contributors to continue to make its public api even better. hopefully by the cutoff it will be hosted on read the docs, which will allow the docs to be linked out on pypi, github, and hopefully stellar's official documentation. details: * added api documentation to most public api's (base58 and utils excluded) on all public methods * generated api documentation using sphinx autodoc, and built out an install guide, quickstart based on the readme, along with the api docs. * added pipfile and pipfile.lock for installation via pipenv, which is becoming recommended practice for python * refactored horizon.py to use request sessions, and cleaned up the overall api. * cleaned up exception hierarchy - there's still plenty to do there throughout the codebase, but it's a start. * cleaned up numerous linter errors, and added todo's and fixme's throughout for additional work.

hi stellar community! tl;dr i'd like to enter into the sbc for aug 15th. my project is a tool written in c++ that verifies if a given stellar network configuration satisfies quorum intersection property (defined by <https://www.stellar.org/papers/stellar-consensus-protocol.pdf>). i was interested in designing an algorithm for checking if all quorums of the stellar network satisfies the quorum intersection property, which seems to be crucial for the network to operate correctly (<https://www.stellar.org/papers/stellar-consensus-protocol.pdf>). during my research, i discovered that this problem is np-complete (complexity of finding disjoint quorums; therefore checking if configuration satisfies qip is conp-complete), hence it can be rather difficult to devise an efficient algorithm for it in general. nevertheless, i tried to invent some method that has a potential to be more efficient than simple enumeration and verification of all subsets of nodes. so, the good thing is that this tool is able to verify current stellar's network configuration (enumeration method won't be able to verify all subsets of a set containing 177 nodes - as per <http://stellarbeat.io>). this tool can provide some insight into the 'health' of the current network configuration (naturally only if we believe provided data). it also outputs some simple graphviz representation of the network, where nodes are partitioned by their strongly connected components (directed graph defined by quorum sets of nodes). this can be helpful when one tries to declare quorum sets that satisfy quorum intersection property [1]. additionally, i am planning to implement some scoring for nodes based on the idea of pagerank - it can show how 'important' particular nodes are. i've already finished implementing this tool (except the pagerank part). i'll open source it before aug 15th. this work wouldn't be possible without data provided by <http://stellarbeat.io> - thanks a lot. [1] easy way of ensuring that all quorums are intersecting is to ensure that: 1) there is a single strongly connected component that is the greatest element of the relation defined by connectivity of strongly connected components 2) make sure that all quorum slices of a node contains more than half of the nodes in its strongly connected component 3) make sure that all of our quorum slices contain at least one node from different strongly connected component organizations probably tend to configure their nodes as cliques (with some assumed resilience, e.g. 3 out of 4 nodes) and it seems rather hard to convince somebody to trust you, hence these rules look for me quite natural.

[![](https://i.postimg.cc/nlqr1fyy/your-balance.png)](https://i.postimg.cc/nlqr1fyy/your-balance.png) description: introducing our new wallet and payment app dinaro. dinaro enables us to help facilitate for the average person to send, receive, and exchange digital dinars on stellar. the app allows the users to generate a wallet address with a federation address of that public key, which was created by calling the api of the federation server during the user's sign-up process. to make it easier for the user to transfer and deposit payments, the app features a qr code and an 8 digit number destination address (generated during the sign-up process) without requiring them to type the full federation address domain. dinaro enables new users to access the stellar ecosystem, by removing complicated barriers that stop them from experiencing its benefits. for a user to use the tunisian dinar asset on the stellar blockchain, a kyc procedure is needed at the financial institution. once passed, the user generates a wallet in the app, the financial institution adds that address in its database with the kyc information, then authorizing "trust" to its asset for that address and send enough xlm (per customer) to the user. once the xlm is received, an activation button will prompt up, and once clicked and confirmed by the user, the tunisian dinar asset is trusted and added to his address, costing him 0.5 xlm during the process. with the xlm left, the user can make thousands of transactions. currently, path payment is in work and will be added to the wallet app, for tunisian living abroad that currently have difficulties sending back their hard-earned money back home for a lower cost. with a click a button, the user can exchange euro, usd or gbp issued by the same financial institution on the stellar blockchain to the tunisian dinar in a matter of seconds, and pay or transfer to other users living in tunisia. this feature is essential because it's a much-needed feature, possibly making it one of the most popular features. the average person won't have to deal with public keys, a complicated process of buying xlm, adding and trusting the asset address manually, and keeping a long string of a private key safe (sep-0005 will be used instead). in case of losing access to the wallet, the financial institution freezes the user's asset and issue the same previous amount of dinars back to the user. **timeline:** 2 to 3 months of development time and testing, but depending on regulations and legal frameworks, could take more time. * building a validator node in tunisia * building a federation server (the current version is using [mystellar id's federation server](https://mystellar.id/)) * building a custom explorer to be used for the wallet, using our own horizon api and federation api * building third-party apps to grow dinaro's ecosystem * improving and adding features to dinaro (ux/ui, dex, offline transaction, path payment, arabic and french translations) * planning and launching the project in tunisia **links:** *before you download: 20 private keys will be provided to test sending and receiving dnc. you must join the keybase group in order to test those features. otherwise, you can try out the wallet with the activation process of adding dnc.* keybase : dinaro website: <https://dinaroapp.io/> disclaimers: *dinaro is a working proof-of-concept representing a payment app built on stellar. tunisian dinar asset (tndc) will be issued by a regulated financial institution and be used in the app. dinaro project may be subject to change for development and regulation purposes in the future. currently, dnc asset is issued on the stellar main-net and used in the app for testing purposes. dnc has no monetary value whatsoever, do not trade dnc.* [![](https://i.postimg.cc/hkvdcrfk/modern-real-estate-leaderboard.png)](https://i.postimg.cc/hkvdcrfk/modern-real-estate-leaderboard.png)

**project title:** py-stellar-sdk **update: [v2](https://github.com/stellarcn/py-stellar-base/blob/master/changelog.md#version-200) was released on november 29, 2019.** **summary:** py-stellar-sdk is a python library for communicating with a stellar horizon server. it is used for building stellar apps on python. it provides: * a networking layer api for horizon endpoints. * facilities for building and signing transactions, for communicating with a stellar horizon instance, and for submitting transactions or querying network history. **goals:** as you can see, the stellar sdk has been running very well. up to now, we have received nearly one hundred issues and emails, and we are always able to respond quickly and post updates for bugs. now we are ready to develop the v2 version. the v1 version will be maintained at least until december 31, 2019. so, what are the goals we will achieve in v2? * refactor the code to make the code clearer and easier to read. * redesign the api so that users can easily migrate between python sdk and other official sdks. * add asynchronous support. * add the sep implementations based on user requests. * write some user tutorials, supports chinese and english. (p.s. eno and i translated the official developer documentation before.) * improve test coverage for the code. **description:** python is one of the most popular programming languages today, and many programmers like to use python to validate their ideas. py-stellar-sdk provides the same complete functionality as the official sdk. with the help of the community, our sdk has detailed documentation, and it has also been applied in the commercial environment, so you can use this sdk to write your code with confidence. for sep, the sdk currently implements sep-0001, sep-0002 and sep-0005. as mentioned before, in the future we will add more sep implementations based on user requests. sdk v1 supports python 2.7 and above. the sdk v2 is still in development, and the following image is an example of building a transaction using the new sdk. i hope you will enjoy it. ![python sdk v2.0 preview](https://i.imgur.com/idmd9m8.jpg) **link:** * code: <https://github.com/stellarcn/py-stellar-base> * release: <https://pypi.org/project/stellar-sdk/> * document: <https://stellar-base.readthedocs.io> thank you :-)

(it's an electronic application process with an electronic id as an authenticator for the individuals. founders are listed, board members, etc.) when the application is approved, the company is required by law to establish a "share-ledger." the share-ledger is a record of shareholders and the number of shares they own. for each newly founded company, the share-ledger includes much of the same information as "1)". the share-ledger constitutes the legal authority on ownership. (majority uses excel. meanwhile, many do not keep one.) llc's are required by law to update and inform the government registry on changes in ownership due to the beneficial ownership legislation under recommendation from fatf and eu legislation. (this is an electronic process, initiated by logging into a government portal with an electronic id) the problem is this. reporting in compliance and personal record-keeping are independent processes. compliance relies on self-reporting and self-verification of ownership that can lead multiple versions of "truths" to co-exist at any given time. focusing on each group independently, government, and shareholders, respectively, we can identify issues better. **the situation facing the government** * the government relies on self-reporting, and legally there is a window of 2 weeks to inform the government of change. documents can easily be backdated and fixed. * the beneficial ownership reporting is time-consuming and takes some effort. as it provides little benefit to companies, other than being compliant, the risk is that records are not kept well and up to date. * the records that the government keep are not the highest authority - it's simply the last known report. it's always the share-ledger that has the final say. ### the situation facing shareholders * the reporting is a non-value adding task and extra work. there is no real benefit to companies other than being compliant. * the share-ledger system is currently "self-verifying." by that, we mean that it's the company's representatives that verify its correctness at any given time, and no external party needs to validate this. * transfer of shares is not transparent – buyers and sellers need to enforce the share-ledger's update and verify the correctness themselves. often this includes going through gatekeepers. * the "self verification" of the share-ledger decreases the value of the company in multiple ways. there are transparency issues and hidden costs, making it harder for financial institutions and investors to engage with the assets actively. the current system increases burdens on good actors and favors bad actors. it's extra work for the diligent one, yet it's easy to maintain sloppy or wrong records on the side. ### the opportunity and vision we at mojoflower believe that blockchain technology can help this situation described above. with new technology and vision, we can unlock value for parties involved, making the whole system more efficient, effective, and valuable. **the new process looks like this** register the company via the electronic process it's currently done. registered data from the government database is ingested into our systems and shares tokenized as verified assets. custody is given to the llc's owners through the platform, enabling them to unlock value at low cost since verified assets are more valuable. the result 1. **for government**, self-reporting becomes automatic reporting and more correct in almost real-time with better results. 2. **for shareholders**, self-verified assets become officially verified and thus more valuable and more tools to harvest that value. 3. **3rd parties, investors, fi, and service providers** can better interact with verified assets and ensure that the underlying asset's process is compliant and transparent. ### smart contracts utilizing stellar's smart contract logic, we can build powerful tools that our users can simply interact with. this is what we mean by saying. "we make smart contracts. simple ". * our smart contracts will enable users to interact with assets more freely and at low costs than before. * our smart contracts include simple transfers, pledging contracts, dividend payments, and more. * we envision our smart contracts being integrated with other wallet and service providers in a reciprocal relationship. ### vision and goals our mission is to enable simple share management for smes and unlock value for companies while staying compliant. our vision is to become the standard for share issuance and share-ledger management and government issue for company share registration. our values * we are inclusive and non-discriminative * we believe in equal pay for equal work and closing the gender gap is our responsibility. * we believe in equal access, fair pricing of products, services. * we believe in reciprocal relationships between suppliers and customers. ### benefits for stellar and the ecosystem we believe that the success of mojoflower can trigger a significant adoption event. stellar has the opportunity to onboard assets and introduce new users to the ecosystem. with new assets secured by the network and new use cases, undiscovered needs will come to light and drive demand. this demand will positively spiral across the ecosystem. in the case of iceland, 40k companies are onboarded. these are all companies where the majority is underserved, yet they are the foundation of the economy. all these companies and their representatives and investors would have direct access to the stellar ledger. what effect might that have? one scenario imaginable is that investors might prefer to invest in companies that pay dividends directly on the network. that would drive demand for anchors and provide foundational support. direct access to the ledger and familiarity with the network increases trust and reduces traditional platforms' switching costs. thus, it becomes easier for product and service providers to introduce their products. we will develop and facilitate the development of stellar tools for an inclusive ecosystem. our tools will include transaction builders, smart contracts, and analytics tools. independent 3rd party developers or companies can easily interact and integrate with our platform. after all, it's built on stellar, and stellar is inclusive! we will foster a competition-friendly marketplace, where the user benefit and security will be the focus. we further see opportunities opening for anchors, wallet providers, financial institutions, traditional csds, or a new type of dsds, b2b payment providers, b2c-pos solutions, analytics providers, contract builders, and more. we believe in the stellar vision, technology, governance, and the sdf's focus on a relationship with regulators. we believe in the project and its ability to be a great business opportunity and positively affect society and other businesses. we believe stellar is the right choice for the future, and we hope the community will choose us. ### the project would utilize 1. stellar 2. existing official electronic id system (kyc) 3. existing government's electronic application process 4. existing banking infrastructure and stellar anchors for the full presentation look here -> <https://communityfund.stellar.org/seed-fund#/entry/43f6419321e61c9abc7c1abe899b62293c1a9fe7c381e5684af091b1de939579>! if you have any questions, please share and we'll respond promptly.

loycha - decentralized blockchain loyalty token. #pre-ico #bounty ================================================================= loyalty token and rewards application which will reduce costs. near real time process with blockchain secure environment for improving front-end payment capabilities for customer experience. ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*diecmfgh2uocomyiu5ecjq.png) a short introduction -------------------- according to colloquy, loyalty industry market capacity is around 50 billion dollar.the same report says:”u.s. customer loyalty program memberships have increased to 3.8 billion since colloquy’s 2015 loyalty census report. the rate of growth slowed, however, to a 15% increase over two years, compared to a 26% increase over the two years prior to the 2015 census report”. but despite these, below you can find some statistics from a detailed research of the same company on 2017: * 46% of al loyalty members have active memberships and 54% inactive memberships * 59% said they usually ignore an irrelevant piece of brand communication. * 57% it took too long to earn points or miles for rewards. * 53% the loyalty program did not provide rewards/offers i was interested in. * 38% the loyalty program sent too many communications. * 36% the loyalty program communications were irrelevant. * 32% of canadians report feeling overwhelmed by the number of loyalty programs available to them. * 57% of consumers have left a program because it took too long to earn rewards, and 53% of consumers have left because a program did not provide rewards they were interested in. a new loyalty era in blockchain ------------------------------- we are here to change the way the loyalty systems work. we are developing a new loyalty network platform of new era in blockchain which will make the loyalty functional again. we will use blockchain, smart contracts and mobile applications to achieve that. our plan is to become the leader of loyalty in the world as airbnb is (the largest accommodation provider which owns no real estate) or uber is (the largest taxi company which owns no vehicles) or alibaba is (the most valuable retailer which has no inventory) or as facebook (is the most popular media provider which generates no content) is. the real part of revolution that our team will bring is that users data residing on loyalty part will be users private data and only they will own that. because all we know that the private users data like activities that we do in an airline companies, car rental companies or even in any social media environment etc all they remain in corresponding companies’ databases if we decide to move to another company or software. but with loycha, the data will not need to move anywhere. it will remain in user’s personal database and users will be able to choose between companies that they want to see their data. this operation will be as easy as opt-in and opt-out in mobile application to show and hide these data from partners, so the new partners will be able to see easily users activities and decide on user loyalty weight or users customer metrics. ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*6ddyfzf-2cvhv8rydvx09a.png) partners will be able to join and be a part of the loycha by paying zero cost fee. they will not need to pay for joining, or being part of loyalty or having integrated the loyalty. the will not need any hardware or any other cost. it will be totally free and they will have partnerships with all other partners and be able to do easily cross marketing and gain new customers from all partners around. also we are going to disturb the marketing sector by removing the middle-man (the main idea behind bitcoin and blockchain) and enabling the companies and their customers to interact directly in a win-win model.the model created by loycha team will enable companies do their marketing and spend their money directly to their target audience by paying their target audience based on smart-contract advertisements (pay target audience on per click, per view, per download, per purchase etc ), so instead of paying middle-mans like google, facebook and other companies that sell advertisements, companies will be able to compete and do them in their own and dedicate the goods to their customers. ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*n6qmgbdm29u5qki2imyydw.png) we will raise the needed funds using crypto financing or as its best known ico (initial coin offering) as we think that this is the best way to also contribute in crypto economy and blockchain sector. --- 15 problems and 15 solutions we offer to solve loyalty problems.

have to think a lot on what they have to do and how they need to do to complete those. --- ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*1oava4fh00tc6uzbs_uthw.png) ### location based services

enough balance credit, they will be able to pay for any product or service at the partner without having to use cash or credit cards. they will need only their mobile phones and scan a barcode and the payment is processed in 3–5 seconds. ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*zicf2_f4bzbzlsgceotioq.png) --- social responsibility --------------------- ### 5% of net profit will be

sponsorship organizations. there will not be any transfer fee for these donations (except the gas fee which is required for stellar blockchain in transactions and is very very small). it will be enough for the charities and others to validate their activity with legal papers to us. ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*hu5uftbegh8rbcfe2s8zaa.png) --- bounty program

i have already started a stellar private network. i need to generate an account on a stellar private network. i have a secret key and private key also. but i have a question about what should i enter as sourcekey in stellar.keypair.fromsecret("******************");? is it node\_seed which i entered in stellar-core.cfg ? ``` try{ const pk = req.body.name; if(pk){ // faucet is our root account. make sure you replace this value with your key let sourcekeys = stellar.keypair.fromsecret("******************"); // loading root account server.loadaccount(sourcekeys.publickey()) .then(function(sourceaccount) { let txn = new stellar.transactionbuilder(sourceaccount) .addoperation( stellar.operation.createaccount({ destination: pk, startingbalance: "1000"})) .addmemo(stellar.memo.text('test transaction')) .build(); txn.sign(sourcekeys); return server.submittransaction(txn); }) .then(function(result) { res.send("") }) .catch(function(error) { }); }else{ } } catch(err){ } ```

[![](https://i.ibb.co/pjnzrdr/answerly-cover-final.jpg)](https://i.ibb.co/pjnzrdr/answerly-cover-final.jpg) ### title: [answerly](http://answerly.app) - rewarding the users for sharing information ### summary: answerly is a q/a platform that allows the users to earn crypto rewards for adding high-quality answers on different questions. ### category: applications, tools & infrastructure ### goals: our goal is to build the most advanced q/a platform that allows the users to make part-time or even full-time income. there are a number of other crypto-based projects that allow users to earn rewards for adding content. however, the user's earnings on those platforms solely rely upon absurd factors such as upvote count, amount of crypto locked in their wallets, etc. in such a scenario, users with a lesser number of followers find it impossible to make any noteworthy amount of rewards. we believe that the best answers should be judged by the quality of the content instead of the number of upvotes it has received (since these metrics can easily be manipulated). therefore, we're working on an algorithm that would determine the best answer on any particular question by taking into account 18 different factors, preventing any sort of possibility of gaming the system. our other goal is to attract non-crypto users to our platform and contribute to increasing the overall adoption of cryptocurrencies. we believe that this can only be possible if the rewarding and withdrawal system is made simple and easy to understand for people who have no background knowledge and experience in dealing with cryptocurrencies. that's the reason we chose to issues our token (ansr) on the stellar blockchain. we can easily utilize the existing services like lobstr, tempo, stellar based exchanges, etc to achieve what we need. ### description: the basic concept is to reward the users for posting well-explained and accurate answers on different questions. answerly allows users to earn rewards for two different types of activities: a. posting questions: users will receive fixed rewards for posting questions. b. posting answers: answer rewards would vary depending upon the user’s level on the platform. once the user has reached the minimum withdrawal threshold, he can easily withdraw his earnings on his stellar wallet. stellar wallet: by withdrawing his earnings on the stellar wallet, the user would receive an email along with other important instructions. in order to make this process smooth, we’re utilizing the services of a very well-known stellar based project called lobstr. using this service would help us in the following areas: a. eliminate the need of depositing lumens for stellar wallet activation. b. eliminate the need to manually issuing a trustline for ansr. **note:** we've discussed things like revenue model, spam controlling, user levels, answerly pro, etc in our whitepaper. the link to the whitepaper is mentioned below. i highly recommend that you check that out. ### timeline: we've been working on this project since jan 2019 and have come a really long way. we've just launched our beta-testing phase but since the development is still in progress, you may come across a few bugs. here's the list of things that we are planning to pull-off within the next 6-8 months: 1. implementation of all planned features - aug 2020 2. answerly pro - sep 2020 3. professional redesign of desktop and mobile website - dec 2020 4. marketing and seo - feb 2021 5. best answer and search algorithm - march 2021 6. app launch - june 2021 ### why do we require the funds so far we've spent a little over 12k usd on this project over the course of 18 months. this money was utilized for: * development * explainer video * incorporating * hosting * sms verification implementation * plagiarism checking, etc. at this point, we need around 55k usd for the following things: * professional ui (desktop web, mobile web and app) ~ 8k usd * further development ~ 20k usd (this includes complete development of desktop and mobile web & apps) * content writers ~ 15k usd * hosting and other 3rd party apps ~ 10k usd the reason we've not added any marketing budget is because, it would be an ongoing expense and would vary according to the stage we're at. we don't want to think a lot about marketing at this point ### how can answerly be useful for the stellar ecosystem we plan to target people who have never been involved in cryptocurrencies in any way. this mostly include bloggers and small and medium-sized online businesses. since the users will be required to withdraw the earnings of their stellar wallets, we believe that it will help in increasing the overall stellar community. ### why did we decide to use stellar blockchain to issue our token **fast transactions** **low transaction fees** **issuing trust:** this is especially useful during an airdrop. it can filter out many fake participants. **feeless dex** **path payments:** we plan to implement a system where the users withdraw ansr tokens but receive usd or eur on their stellar wallets. ### some important things we've also incorporated our company is the us (delaware). you may check out the link to incorporation document below. ### links: website: <https://answerly.app> whitepaper: <https://docdro.id/l471f4t> explainer video: incorporation document: <https://docdro.id/7ptqx96> token explorer: [stellar expert](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/asset/ansr-gaeqfo7ddxqcj4rezx6m6ulrnci7wbxtjpmjrrwzqba3c5t3lawl7cqo-1) ### social profiles keybase: <https://keybase.io/team/answerly> twitter: <https://twitter.com/answerlyapp> publish0x: <https://www.publish0x.com/answerly/> ### team raza rizvi (linkedin) -

### **project title:** lumenthropy.com **summary:** encouraging nonprofit organizations to accept lumen donations and inspiring people that hold lumens to donate to worthy causes. **goals:** 1) maintain an index of nonprofit organizations that accept stellar lumen donations; 2) increase the amount of nonprofit organization that officially accept stellar lumen donations; and 3) provide nonprofits that officially accept stellar lumens a steady stream of support to maintain nonprofit awareness, engagement, and use of the stellar network. **description:** the combination of these goals will help deliver on the philanthropic heart of the stellar mission – to inclusively provide financial benefit to the world. it does this by increasing awareness of the stellar network and its benefit to nonprofit organizations (and the people that work in those organization) that are working on the front lines with the people that can benefit the most from this technology – the people without a secure government or access to banks (bank the unbanked). *safety in numbers.* the index list of nonprofit organizations that already accept stellar lumen donations provides nonprofit organizations looking for new fundraising avenues comfort that other nonprofit organizations have already started adopting the technology. it also illustrates and provides concrete proof that the policy, organizational, and reporting challenges of accepting digital asset donations are surmountable and have already been solved by some of their peer nonprofit organizations. *stellar fundraising success stories.* the continued support of nonprofit organizations with a stellar wallet provides fundraising success stories. it provides an ongoing financial incentive to maintain the wallet and to use the technology. it also will likely result in those fundraising success stories being shared within the nonprofit community because fundraising is a constant focus and shared challenge for almost all nonprofit organizations. in the end, it increases stellar adoption and makes providing financial support to nonprofits easier, instant, and low cost regardless of the sender’s global location and financial means. 100% of the lumens awarded would be sent to a nonprofit organization. the lumens provided to lumenthropy.com through the stellar community fund would either be used to incentivize opening a stellar wallet or provide a constant stream of support to those that already have established stellar wallets. think of it as an airdrop focused on registered nonprofit organizations. lumenthropy wants to do for nonprofit organizations what blockchain.com and coinbase.com/earn does for individual people. **link:** <https://lumenthropy.com> **anything else:** since starting this initiative in january of 2019, lumenthropy has already expanded the list of known nonprofit organizations that officially accept stellar lumen donations from 1 to 4. this has also resulted in two large nonprofit organizations (each with more than 250k followers) to actively engage and tweet positively about this stellar-based initiative. i am actively talking to two nonprofit consultants that are looking to advise nonprofit organizations of the technology. i have done this to date with very little incentive for the nonprofits (about $100) and with many of my own lumens. i expect we can do so much better with a bit more incentive.

![](https://loycha.com/static/loycha.png) ### loycha - loyalty, rewards and payment system ### summary: loycha is a new era loyalty, rewards and payment system based on stellar network blockchain which enables users to earn and spend their money through a mobile wallet (e-wallet). ### category: applications, tools & infrastructure ### goals: first of all, ***we have achieved until now 3 main goals*** which are very important for our project: 1. **we have a legally established company in kosovo since 2018 where we pay taxes** [see official government link here](https://arbk.rks-gov.net/page.aspx?id=2,38,179017) 2. **we have already signed partnerships with more than 20 companies which will be using our software in q3 2020 once we go live** 3. **we have created a working alpha version of our app on test stellar network, which is going to be live soon. you can check and download the app from our homepage at [loycha](https://loycha.com/) ** below you can find our goals and heavy roadmap for 2020 and what we have achieved so far till now on 2019: **2020 goals** ![](https://loycha.com/static/loycha-roadmap-2020.png) **2019 achievements** ![](https://loycha.com/static/loycha-roadmap-2019.png) ### description: loyalty token and rewards application which will reduce costs. near real-time process with blockchain secure environment for improving front-end payment capabilities for customer experience. ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*diecmfgh2uocomyiu5ecjq.png) ### a new loyalty era in blockchain we are here to change the way the loyalty systems work. we are developing a new loyalty network platform of the new era in blockchain which will make the loyalty functional again. we will use blockchain, smart contracts and mobile applications to achieve that. our plan is to become the leader of loyalty in the world as airbnb is (the largest accommodation provider which owns no real estate) or uber is (the largest taxi company which owns no vehicles) or alibaba is (the most valuable retailer which has no inventory) or as facebook (is the most popular media provider which generates no content) is. the real part of the revolution that our team will bring is that users data residing on the loyalty part will be users private data and only they will own that. because of all we know that the private users' data like activities that we do in an airline company, car rental companies or even in any social media environment etc all they remain in corresponding companies’ databases if we decide to move to another company or software. but with loycha, the data will not need to move anywhere. it will remain in user’s personal database and users will be able to choose between companies that they want to see their data. this operation will be as easy as opt-in and opt-out in mobile application to show and hide these data from partners, so the new partners will be able to see easily users activities and decide on user loyalty weight or users customer metrics. ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*6ddyfzf-2cvhv8rydvx09a.png) partners will be able to join and be a part of the loycha by paying zero cost fee. they will not need to pay for joining, or being part of a loyalty or having integrated the loyalty. the will not need any hardware or any other cost. it will be totally free and they will have partnerships with all other partners and be able to do easily cross-marketing and gain new customers from all partners around. also, we are going to disturb the marketing sector by removing the middle-man (the main idea behind bitcoin and blockchain) and enabling the companies and their customers to interact directly in a win-win model. the model created by loycha team will enable companies to do their marketing and spend their money directly to their target audience by paying their target audience based on smart-contract advertisements (pay target audience on per click, per view, per download, per purchase etc ), so instead of paying middle-mans like google, facebook and other companies that sell advertisements, companies will be able to compete and do them in their own and dedicate the goods to their customers. ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*n6qmgbdm29u5qki2imyydw.png) --- ### 15 problems and 15 solutions we offer to solve loyalty problems. **why loycha is a game-changer in loyalty?** loycha is not just another coin. we believe that blockchain is a revolution in technology as the internet was for our lives. the loyalty program fit with blockchain makes sense more than any other sector, as it was already using virtual money (points and miles) but in centralized systems and using dated technology with the same types of rehashed rules. to create a loyal customer in the blockchain era, loyalty program thinking has to be adapted to create new methods and thus, opportunities. while the loyalty industry is growing, the majority of loyalty programs focus on revenue over and above customer loyalty, which creates a mismatch in needs and expectations. loycha aims to change this, to change the game and to bring customers more of what they want. below you can find some existing problems and ​our solutions​​ to these problems. ![](https://loycha.com/static/loycha-ps1-8.png)

data on the blockchain can access them through encryption keys and partners will be able to access the data through smart contracts and only on the level provided by users --- ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*fin8ktulfqmmkvx-qmmzuq.png) ### integration of companies and corporates employees will be able to benefit from different bonuses provided to them

badges which we will mention the achievements of users and enabling them process tracking. using smart contracts, companies will be able to create smart and easy to understand tasks so users don’t have to think a lot on what they have to do and how they need to do to complete those. --- ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*1oava4fh00tc6uzbs_uthw.png) ### location-based services

beacons loycha will provide to its partners with some small devices called beacons (which you can read more details below), which will enable partners to inform nearby people with smartphone about their products on sale, about promotions, discounts, or about everything they find important for their business. ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*saola3cr8jruanj6t6l96a.png) --- ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*cibukxnyoitvfzymhljjew.png) ### mobile payments with loycha wallet users can use loycha as mobile payment in all partner shops. if they have enough balance credit, they will be able to pay for any product or service at the partner without having to use cash or credit cards. they will need only their mobile phones and scan a barcode and the payment is processed in 3–5 seconds. ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*zicf2_f4bzbzlsgceotioq.png) --- ### social responsibility ### 5% of the net profit will be donated. one of the most important parts of being human is to support other people in need. we all work in different fields, starting from us in blockchain and loyalty, but we must not forget that not all people are lucky as we are. ![alt text](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*wgimar6fap4jabmgy_7gvg.png) ### zero fees for transfers to charity and donations. as mentioned earlier, loycha will enable receiving free donations for charities, ngos and foundations (non-profit ones ), like non-governmental organisations, health charities, education charities, environmental charities, child sponsorship

### image header: ![image header](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/an-image-header-2.png) ### project title: [coinqvest](https://www.coinqvest.com) - enterprise cryptocurrency payment processing. accept digital currencies, settle in usd, eur, ngn. ### summary: coinqvest is an enterprise cryptocurrency payment gateway providing an all-in-one solution for merchants to effortlessly accept cryptocurrency payments online and settle into fiat, thus keeping consistent books and staying compliant.Β  ### category: applications ### goals: coinqvest’s mission is to lower the payment barrier for the world’s merchants to join the global economy through simple digital payment processing. we process sales safely and efficiently for online merchants of all sizes and origins. think of it as stripe for crypto. #### product development 
payments and settlements are production-ready and accessible via api and hosted checkouts. register for your merchant account at [www.coinqvest.com](https://www.coinqvest.com). in q2 we will continue to develop additional platform features, such as more detailed balance sheets, transaction history, accounting and analytics tools, financial and tax reports, data exports, and so on. currently coinqvest works with any http rest client, in any programming language. to make integration even easier, we started developing sdks and integration kits for several programming languages and are improving the platform based on feedback. we hope to push the first sdks live in q3. #### go-to-market strategy initially we need to explain to merchants how they can now accept digital currencies with [minimal overhead.](https://www.coinqvest.com/en/blog/cryptocurrency-sales-accounting-invoicing-taxes-solved-01037f26ee0f) all that, while staying compliant, and settling in a currency friendly to their accountants and regulators. our plan to increase adoption for coinqvest is to initially go with a developer-first focus and streamline merchants implementation of crypto payments into their existing checkout processes. we want a product that speaks for itself. a clean and [pleasant ui](https://www.coinqvest.com), comprehensive [api documentation](https://www.coinqvest.com/en/api-docs) and sdks are our approach to achieve that. additionally, we are putting a focus on content marketing (see the [coinqvest blog](https://www.coinqvest.com/en/blog)) and developing a b2b sales strategy. a pr campaign enlisting several crypto media outlets is being worked on. #### funding & regulatory: we are bootstrapped. in order to stem regulatory requirements and build the team for our commercial rollout, we are considering external investment. ### timeline: see goals. ### description: coinqvest provides digital currency checkouts that automatically go from bitcoin (or any other currency anchored on the stellar network) to an online merchant's bank account, in minutes. coinqvest helps merchants programmatically accept and settle payments in new digital currencies while staying compliant, keeping their accountants and tax authorities happy. with coinqvest, sales can be denominated and settled in a merchant's local fiat currency (e.g. eur, usd or ngn) regardless of whether their customers pay in bitcoin, ether or stellar lumens. ![key features](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/slide.png) #### the coinqvest platform provides the following key features: * **coinqvest offers real-time currency conversion and instant transaction settlement**: customers choose from a list of cryptocurrencies to submit payment. coinqvest automatically exchanges/converts payment into the seller's desired currency. funds are deposited in the merchant's wallet or account. once a payment is executed, settlement takes only seconds. * **coinqvest enables risk-free transactions**: transactions take place on the stellar network β€” they are exchanged, tracked, and viewable immediately with transparency. inter-currency fluctuation is minimized and there is no risk of non-payment. * **coinqvest supports compliant accounting**: coinqvest’s business toolkit includes analytics and tax-keeping data to keep enterprises tuned-in and compliant. it pinpoints effective strategies or revenue leaks, and equips businesses with automated invoicing and financial reporting. * **coinqvest provides easy integration for developers**: it provides two integration methods for an enterprise’s current setup. our hosted checkout option is as simple as placing our checkout button on a website’s payment page. advanced uses connect to coinqvest’s rest api which allows our service to mesh with their online business. #### benefits of coinqvest for the stellar network * coinqvest is [tightly knit with anchors](https://www.coinqvest.com/en/blog/coinqvest-integrates-with-vetted-stellar-anchors-for-seamless-cross-currency-settlement-feafae806e32) and provides them with new revenue streams * coinqvest brings assets/volume onto the dex, every time a merchant makes a sale * coinqvest opens an adoption path for online merchants previously unaware of stellar * coinqvest is part of the [high availability tier 1 core quorum](https://www.coinqvest.com/en/blog/coinqvest-launches-three-full-validators-on-the-stellar-network-and-co-establishes-scp-tier-1-core-quorum-group-3d2bf6636a2e) and operates [three full validators](https://stellarbeat.io/organizations/91f2860214ce681f76b08da73bad0810) * coinqvest runs a fast and [public horizon](https://horizon.stellar.coinqvest.com/) deployment * coinqvest provides a functional and globally available payment gateway built on the sdex #### how coinqvest uses stellar: * coinqvest works closely with [stellar cryptocurrency anchors](https://www.coinqvest.com/en/blockchain-integrations) to enable native payments on numerous blockchains * coinqvest also integrates with [stellar fiat anchors](https://www.coinqvest.com/en/fiat-currency-integrations) to deposit merchants' funds in their bank accounts * coinqvest makes heavy use of strict-receive and the new strict-send path payment operations * coinqvest monitors currency prices on the sdex and initiates conversions in real-time * coinqvest takes advantage of stellar’s unparalleled architecture to add anchors in no time, thus able to roll out into new markets for more details, team members, api docs, please visit [www.coinqvest.com](https://www.coinqvest.com) and, of course, we’d love to hear your feedback! connect with us

test the other options to pay with a larger variety of supported cryptocurrencies (native bitcoin, ethereum or litecoin). ping us on keybase afterwards and we'll refund your payment. this is a hosted checkout, which takes minimal effort to implement in existing online shops. merchants can also opt for fully un-branded api level checkouts in their backend. ### links: * [coinqvest

it.\n\n\n\n> a note/suggestion: from my practice, people often forget to add memo to the payment.\n> \n> \n\n\nsame here. during our ui planning over 50% of our test subjects simply didn't put the memo. we went the easy way for now and highlighted the memo label in red in the ui. this helped a little. we've only been live for a couple of weeks but almost 100% of our few processed sales have been done in btc, so we have no metrics yet how much of a problem xlm memos are in the wild with our payment ui.\n\n\nby the way, besides the paypal style hosted checkouts, merchants can also opt for a white-label (purely backend based) integration where they build the checkout ui themselves. there are some recommendations how to highlight the memo in our api docs but in those cases their ux is beyond our control.\n\n\n\n> i hope that with the new muxed accounts feature this problem will eventually go away\n> \n> \n\n\nwe actually have high hopes for your [sep-0029](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-protocol/blob/master/ecosystem/sep-0029.md) πŸ™‚ that is actually the main reason why we didn't pursue memo optimization any further for now. your sep will eliminate the memo problem pretty much entirely i think. it looks like it's going to land very soon. no need to wait for muxed.\n\n\n\n> show federated address by default\n> \n> \n\n\nin our experience most people use generic wallets like exodus that support a wide variety of cryptos natively. unfortunately most of them don't understand federation. this is even more so the case for exchanges. federated addresses are great but only really known in the stellar microcosmos and even there adoption fluctuates. it's probably best to keep the stellar account as default to avoid too much confusion for the average joe. your sep should solve the whole missing memo issue.\n\n\n\n> generate new blank accounts for every deposit or per user\n> \n> \n\n\nwe've been considering that but there are a few hoops to this. some crypto anchors have our custodial accounts white listed for deposits, withdrawals, and sep-10 for example. it would add a whole lot of additional complexity on our end as well as on the anchor's end to use disposable accounts. another consideration was increased overhead for streaming these accounts. there can be an arbitrary number of them to monitor at any time and this doesn't seem to scale well.\n\n\n\n> the second approach may be quite interesting for clients with relatively large average payment amount because it streamlines the ux, makes it really tricky to mess with memos, offers a separate audit history on ledger explorer for each user/deposit, and provides better privacy (blank accounts get created and deleted after the successful payments).\n> \n> \n\n\nthe on-chain audit history is something we had in mind as well. it's a strong argument. for now we have a second-layer solution for that where merchants download their reports from our platform along with tx and op ids.\n\n\n\n> on the other hand, it adds an additional level of complexity, because you need to create account, monitor payments for it, and merge back to your

something we have in mind for the future (if/when we adopt disposable accounts). maybe we can take that discussion somewhere else but i've been wondering about the notification/reaction mechanism. it looks like it's wired for http callbacks. we had problems with those on our single account streams (particularly when we wanted to replay large amounts of operations) and went with redis queues instead. the account listener pushes any new payments to a redis list and the processor service picks them up at its own speed. no tcp/ip needed. looks like it would be straight-forward enough to

operate in america you need a money exchange license and each \"exchange\" actually involves capital sales. how do you plan on keeping track of all this?\n> \n> \n\n\nthis is a great question and a big topic for us internally. basically cq's initial go-to-market strategy is defined/limited by regulatory requirements and stellar's current and future anchor integrations.\n\n\nfor cq two questions are at the core/top of decision making: a) can we operate legally in a market and b) is there a good and liquid fiat anchor to make market entry feasible?\n\n\nregarding a), there are basically two options: get licenses for each single country/market or find cooperation partners and use their licenses on a license-as-a-service cooperation model.\n\n\nand for b), we follow the anchor development process which seems to have a focus on africa, latin america and southeast asia. that also means we don't accept merchants from the us and eu currently. they can register but not fully operate on the platform yet.\n\n\nwe don't actually see it as a \"nightmare\". it's a process with very clearly defined requirements and there are several options to stay compliant in different jurisdictions.\n\n\n\n> last point- until you provide a traditional on ramp (paypal, credit card etc...) it will run into the same problem as other payment projects like stellarpay and swplug- no one will use it because very few people have any stellar assets to start with. its not worth the integration effort for a retail shop for something that only does stellar.\n> \n> \n\n\ncompletely agree and our product is actually fundamentally different from the ones you mentioned. cq accepts **native** bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, and xrp alongside any asset on the stellar network. that's actually one of our most exciting features. we work with crypto anchors to convert **native** btc into tokens on the stellar network during the payment process. once the funds are captured we use the sdex to convert them into the merchant's preferred settlement currency.\n\n\nwhen a customer selects bitcoin on the checkout page, he is actually presented with a native bitcoin deposit address (given by one of our anchor partners) and sends native bitcoin to that address. in fact, he is probably entirely unaware that stellar is involved. all he knows is that he sent bitcoin to some bitcoin address.\n\n\nwe published a [blog post](https://www.coinqvest.com/en/blog/coinqvest-integrates-with-vetted-stellar-anchors-for-seamless-cross-currency-settlement-feafae806e32) on that topic, which covers the process in more detail. another blog post [here](https://www.coinqvest.com/en/blog/why-we-chose-stellar-as-payment-rails-for-cryptocurrency-settlement-3f53b6715245) explains it even more.\n\n\nour competitors are bitpay, coinbase commerce and similar companies. we think that working on stellar gives us a competitive edge over them because of its anchor system. we can add new crypto payment options as well as fiat off-ramps in a snap, as soon as they are anchored on stellar by some trusted entity. it takes a **whole lot** of resources and jumping through hoops for our competitors to add new currencies. for us it's just another interface to sep-6/24/26 compliant anchors. as the stellar network grows, so do we.\n\n\non a side note:\n\n\nwe started working with select merchants since our soft launch/poc release a couple of weeks ago and it works really well so far. in our experience, almost all sales are done in native bitcoin. disappointingly, we haven't seen a single stellar payment yet. you already mentioned that this isn't a big surprise. according to this [source](https://en.cryptonomist.ch/2020/04/02/top-15-cryptocurrencies-active-addresses/?utm_source=cryptonews&utm_medium=app), bitcoin has around 0.75 million active addresses a day and stellar only has 75 thousand active accounts per day. the stellar ecosystem is still very young but moving super fast - we're excited to contribute.\n\n\ni think it's worth pointing out that, in a sense, coinqvest uses the stellar network in the very fundamental way it was originally imagined. our platform is a tool that takes an arbitrary asset from some entity, pulls it onto the network, transforms it, and finally takes it off the network in a different shape, to a different entity.\n\n\ncheers!\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "good answers. i'm glad you thought through these

definitely makes sense for your application. but there is a problem with horizon streaming. when you subscribe to horizon `operations` or `payments` endpoint in a streaming mode, it pushes objects one by one resulting in the queue delay – on practice, it delivers only about ~2 operations per second. this is usually not a problem if the expected rate is under 10 payments per ledger on average. however, in case of spikes horizon starts lagging behind the ledger, and if the activity spike is large enough, the payment confirmation may be significantly delayed – for hours or even days.\n\n\nto deal with such situations, we use another approach in our notifier. the dispatcher listens to the ledgers stream to detect the moment when new ledger arrives, and then fetches all transactions for the last ledger (200 per batch), parses raw xdr to retrieve operations, and schedules them for the delivery. for your case, it makes sense to fetch all payments for the deposit account starting from the last recorded cursor instead of transactions as you don't really care about trades and other operations. this will allow you to receive all payments notifications immediately once the ledger is

that deep, we've put together a few screenshots to show you what the platform looks like from the perspective of registered merchants.\n\n\nonce a merchant integrates with the coinqvest api, he can start getting paid in **native** bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, xrp, xlm or any other assset on the stellar network. completed payments are instantly added to the merchant's dashboard and transaction history.\n\n\n![dashboard](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/dashboard.png)\n\n\nthe above screenshot shows payments originating on the stellar network, bitcoin and xrp ledger. the payments have been captured on their native blockchains by our [crypto anchors](https://www.coinqvest.com/en/env-asset-issuers) and been settled as usd using path payments on the sdex.\n\n\na payment can be inspected in detail and includes information about the related charge, customer, api requests, blockchain transactions and accounts associated with the payment, as well as additional context information collected during the checkout:\n\n\n![payment details](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/payment-details.png)\n\n\nin above example, the customer paid the equivalent of 25.00 usd in **native** bitcoin and the merchant opted for settlement in usd. payment information is exportable to a csv file by itself or in bulk alongside all other payments in e.g. a fiscal year. a payment can be refunded, if the merchant is willing to do so.\n\n\nan invoice is generated from the payment details and can be printed to paper or pdf:\n\n\n![invoice](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/invoice.png)\n\n\nmerchants create relations between customer and payment objects when specifying a charge. a customer can be inspected and edited via ui or api and is linked to its payments, blockchain accounts and related api requests.\n\n\n![customer](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/customer.png)\n\n\ncoinqvest keeps track of a merchant's customers and provides interfaces to create, edit or delete them via ui or api.\n\n\n![customers](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/customers.png)\n\n\nwhenever an api request is made, the platform keeps an extensive log, which includes the http request body and headers, as well as the http response and additional context information. this is extremely useful for developers.\n\n\n![api log item](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/api-log-item.png)\n\n\na merchant can opt to withdraw captured funds via [api](https://www.coinqvest.com/en/api-docs#post-withdrawal) or using a web browser. below is the withdrawal ui flow, demostrating a withdrawal from a usd wallet directly into an ngn bank account.\n\n\nin the first step, the merchant decides how much he wants to withdraw.\n\n\n![wd1](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/wd-1.png)\n\n\nin the second step, the merchant decides whether to withdraw to a blockchain (e.g. bitcoin or the stellar network) or directly into a bank account.\n\n\n![wd2](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/wd-2.png)\n\n\ncoinqvest currently integrates with anchors for and supports ngn, eur and usd. we are adding more fiat off-ramps as they become available on the stellar network. two more fiat currencies launching soon.\n\n\n![wd3](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/wd-3.png)\n\n\nthe merchant is presented with the calculated withdrawal amount. in this example he's converting 86.67 usd into 37,721 ngn. this happens using the sdex and stellar path payments in the background.\n\n\n![wd4](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/wd-4.png)\n\n\nthe merchant provides his bank account information. in this case he's withdrawing to a nigerian bank account on the nuban network.\n\n\n![wd5](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/wd-5.png)\n\n\nin the last step, the merchant reviews the withdrawal information and confirms the request. once submitted, 37,721 ngn are deposited into the merchant bank account within **literally** two minutes. this is thanks to the excellent service provided by our ngn anchor [cowrie](https://cowrie.exchange), who are connected to the nuban banking system.\n\n\n![wd6](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/wd-6.png)\n\n\nall this is currently live and we started processing payments for our first live merchants. it took us two years to get here but our roadmap only keeps growing. we'd love to get your vote and support! please let us know anytime if you have questions. thanks!\n\n\nmore info at

it!\n\n\na brief overview of an update that went live today: **coinqvest for non-developers**.\n\n\nit is now possible to get paid without the use of apis. merchants now have a \"request payment\"-button in their dashboards. upon click, a dialogue opens with a ui to create a charge, specify billing and settlement currencies and provide customer information.\n\n\n![request payment](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/rp-1.png)\n\n\nthe ui provides an interface to easily specify all charge details, including line items with product descriptions, quantities and product ids, shipping and handling costs, potential discounts and relevant tax items.\n\n\n![create charge](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/rp-2.png)\n\n\nin the next step the merchant provides customer information and a billing address. these are subsequently associated with the charge and required to generate invoice information and compliant transaction reports for accounting teams.\n\n\n![specify customer](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/rp-3.png)\n\n\nin a last step, the merchant reviews the information and submits the payment request.\n\n\n![specify customer](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/rp-4.png)\n\n\nupon successful submission the merchant receives a hosted checkout url, which he can share with his customer to complete payment.\n\n\n![specify customer](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/rp-5.png)\n\n\nthe checkout url contains all the information needed for the customer to complete the payment in their favorite cryptocurrency or token on the stellar network. the checkout page is responsive and works equally well on phone screens, tablets and desktops.\n\n\n![specify customer](https://www.coinqvest.com/images/scf-images/screenshots/rp-6.png)\n\n\nthe customer makes a payment in a cryptocurrency but can opt to get paid in his preferred fiat currency/token instead. the conversion happens in real-time using anchor integrations and path payments on the stellar decentralized exchange.\n\n\nupon completion, both the merchant and the customer can obtain a formal invoice and the transaction is added to the merchant's accounting reports.\n\n\nso far this is an mvp of the ui checkout process. we have more features in the pipeline for it. i guess it's also a good first step/prototype towards a retail pos application for tablets later on.\n\n\nas always, we'd appreciate your feedback in the comments below or feel free to hop over to our

![](https://i.ibb.co/nfhfwlp/0-3.png) ### **title** [lumenswap](https://lumenswap.io/) is a swap interface for the stellar network that allows you to swap assets on the network using a friendly, minimal interface. ### **video** ### **goals** lumenswap aims to create a simple and minimal platform for swapping assets on the stellar network. this allows users to learn about the power and fundamental features of stellar for moving assets. ### **the benefit of lumenswap for the stellar network** having more applications that allow users to move their assets will make it easier for users to work with the network. this, in turn, increases the liquidity of the assets on the network. however, these applications can only achieve their goals if they have beautiful user interfaces and create enjoyable experiences like stellarx and stellarterm. ### **structure** **overall structure** client -> lumenswap-> horizen -> stellar network ![](https://i.ibb.co/vqwrqnv/how-it-works.png) **swap** ![](https://i.ibb.co/bvn5f2w/swap-2.png) here, you can convert your assets. here’s a more detailed, technical explanation: once you submit a swap request (e.g., 1 btc for 10 eth), we send the request to the network using horizon api and perform a path payment strict send operation (with you as both the sender and receiver). depending on your order size and stellar’s order books, if the order can be handled, you’ll receive a success message and the swap will be performed. if the network cannot handle your order based on that moment’s order books, you’ll receive the following message: β€œyour order is too large to be processed by the network. do you want to register it as an active order on the network?” if you approve the message, we’ll run a manage buy operation using horizon. the order will remain open and active and it’ll be executed to the possible extent. the remainder will remain open and can be managed in the β€˜active orders’ section. ![](https://i.ibb.co/c2tngrx/swap-request-2.png) **send** there are two types of requests: 1- basic send ![](https://i.ibb.co/vlkyzph/send-6.png) this is a normal asset transfer to an address on the network exactly like you do in your wallet. after submitting the send request, it will be sent on the network using horizon api and a payment operation will be executed to transfer the assets to the specified address. just like that. 2- send + swap ![](https://i.ibb.co/jzvnvxv/send-swap.png) this is perfect for when you want to send one type of asset and have the other end receive another type. this is like hitting two birds with one stone: first a swap and then a send. suppose you want to send $200, but the receiver specifies eth as their preferred asset type. to do this, you need to activate a send+swap switch. as usual, a request is sent to the network using horizon which involves a path payment strict send operation (with your address as the sender and the entered address as the receiver). if the network can handle the order based on its order books at the moment of request, the operation will be executed and you’ll receive a success message. otherwise, you’ll receive an error message. in this case, you can increase the tolerance to reduce the minimum received value so that the network can handle the request. ![](https://i.ibb.co/xmyhbkw/send-request.png) **minimum received** ![](https://i.ibb.co/swkcrs1/minimum-received.png) this is the minimum amount of an asset you’ll receive after the swap. the network will always give you the best recommendation, but this specifies the minimum amount. **set slippage tolerance** ![](https://i.ibb.co/6btv42p/set-slippage-tolerance.png) with set slippage tolerance you can set the minimum you’ll receive. higher percentages mean you’ll receive less. **path** ![](https://i.ibb.co/mycbbgs/path-2.png) this represents the best path to convert the specified assets based on the order books on the network. **orders page** ![](https://i.ibb.co/0ffv22r/orders-page.png) this part consists of two sections: 1-active orders here, you can view and delete your open or active orders. 2-completed orders here, you can view the completed orders or trades. **calculator for the estimated price** ![](https://i.ibb.co/f7cryz2/exchange.png) lumenswap calculator uses the last registered orders on the network to estimate asset prices on the network (the calculations are performed using pairs of xlm and specific assets). suppose you want to get eth in exchange for usd. once you input 1 eth, you’ll automatically get 200 usd. how are these values calculated? in the example above, we’ll obtain the usd/xlm price based on the last buy order on the network and determine eth price based on the last eth/xlm sell order. the calculated number is then displayed on the interface. note that this is an estimation and not an exact number. note: based on our observations of the order books, the best paths mostly consist of xlm pairs. for example: snt -> llo best path: snt -> xlm -> llo **connect wallet** ![](https://i.ibb.co/f7wpsr4/connect-wallet.png) to use lumenswap, you need to connect your account. right now, there are these ways to do this: 1-private key: to use this method, you should directly enter your private key. the key will be stored locally on your browser and deleted as soon as you log out or refresh the page. (lumenswap is an open-source application and you can review our source code to make sure everything is normal). 2-ledger: in this method, you must first have a [ledger](https://www.ledger.com/) hardware wallet, this method is very safe because you can be signing or identity verification without ever exposing your secret key. 3-freighter: in this method, you must first install the [freighter](https://www.freighter.app/) browser extension, this method is very safe because you can be signing or identity verification without ever exposing your secret key. 4-albedo: in this method, you must first install the [albedo](https://albedo.link/) browser extension this method is very safe because you can signing or identity verification without ever exposing your secret key. **listening assets** ![](https://i.ibb.co/3dymfd6/listening-assets-3.png) given the free and distributed nature of blockchains, we designed lumenswap to let anyone swap any assets. right now, popular assets with sufficient value are available on the platform. ### **what features are being developed and will be unveiled in the future?** **add the analytics section:** this section gives you detailed analysis of assets, trades, and pair volumes on the network. check out our design prototypes below: ![](https://i.ibb.co/rcmztjn/image.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/qps2c38/image.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/hnqxstq/image.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/wvf7thm/image.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/ybhxqft/image.png) **a new model of path selection:** we plan to use aggregations paths to improve path selection. our team is also developing an artificial intelligence robot for path selection. **improve ui:** we will make changes in the swap box to improve the user experience and increase your access to page elements.

update: this post is outdated. on the forum you can find much better reviews of wallets now, like [@nogueiraluisa](https://galactictalk.org/u/nogueiraluisa)'s posts about [stellar desktop client & stargazer](https://galactictalk.org/d/302-more-wallets-and-trading-clients), [stellarterm & ecliptic](https://galactictalk.org/d/299-wallets-and-trading-clients) or [centaurus](https://galactictalk.org/d/239-my-experience-with-wallets). to see all available wallets visits [this page](https://www.stellar.org/about/directory#wallets). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- introduction ============ a stellar wallet is an application that allows you to send and receive different currencies/assets on the stellar network. if you come from bitcoin or another cryptocurrency you may already be familiar with wallets. usually cryptocurrencies differentiate between wallets that are [full nodes or thin clients (spv)](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/thin_client_security). there is no need to have a full node as your wallet. reason for bundling everything together are mostly historic. the first bitcoin implementation was a full node, wallet and miner in one. stellar started from scratch and used a much better separation of concerns. all stellar wallets are lightweight applications and don't need to download the full ledger history. here is an overview of the most popular stellar wallets. stellar.org account viewer ========================== the minimal data that represents an account is a public/secret keypair. you can generate a new keypair on this site: <https://www.stellar.org/laboratory/#account-creator?network=public> **it is important to safely store and never let anyone get access to your secret key. or she/he will have complete control over your assets in this account. if you lose access to your private key you will also lose access to all assets that this account is holding.** now you can use stellar.org's account viewer to see your account balance and send lumens: <https://www.stellar.org/account-viewer/> ![account viewer screenshot](http://i.imgur.com/tyxxib0.png) the account viewer is a simple application that gives you only a minimalistic interface without much functionality. you are left on your own to secure your account's secret key. another drawback of the account viewer is that you can only send lumens (xlm) and no other assets. centaurus android wallet ======================== centaurus android wallet is more feature rich. you can get it here: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.xcoins.centaurus> ![centaurus wallet](http://i.imgur.com/ntwquz1.png) it will automatically create an account for you and keep the secret key stored in your phone. **you should export the secret key and store it in a secure location in case you lose access to your phone.** while using the wallet i noticed some small bugs, like the camera view for scanning qr codes is stretched vertically on my galaxy s6 and it's hard to get the qr code to be recognised. the description of the application also says: > don't hold more lumens in this app than you need for every day purpose and you can afford to lose in worst case! use at own risk. > > during my usage i never noticed major issues in the centaurus wallet. scotty's wallet =============== another web based wallet is scotty's wallet: <https://sacarlson.github.io/my_wallet/> it is the most feature rich wallet exposing almost all options of the stellar platform. it allows you to hold multiple assets, place orders on stellar's distributed exchange and perform many other actions. this makes it also the hardest to use. ![scotty's wallet](http://i.imgur.com/onavpjp.png) notice that the wallet points to the test network when you first navigate to the website. if you want to use the live network you need to go to **advanced => change settings** and set it to live network. i noticed some small issues while using it. like the export qr code for centaurus not being accepted by centaurus, but most of the core functions work as expected. lobstr ios and android wallet ============================= the lobstr wallet has a really nice design. you can get it here: <https://lobstr.co/> ![lobstr wallet](http://i.imgur.com/7zyqvgx.jpg) i had it previously installed on my phone, but didn't use it. after i sent some lumens to the wallet the transaction didn't show up in the view, but the account balance showed that the lumens arrived. then i tried to send some lumens but it asked for a password that i couldn't remember. i went to their website and reset the password. ~~**and i lost access to all the lumens i had inside.** it looks like it removed the secret key from the wallet when i reset the password. this was not clear during the whole process and looks like a really dangerous behaviour from the wallet. it still lets me receive lumens, even the wallet doesn't have the secret key and i will not be able to get the lumens out. something like this should not be allowed. the interface should clearly state that the wallet is not holding anymore the secret key and not only prompt you to enter one when you decide to send lumens away. **i would not recommend anyone to use it for serious amounts of lumens.**~~ update: see [pitsevich](https://galactictalk.org/d/6/6) response below.

here there are two projects: a c++ sdk and the vega stellar wallet introducing: vega stellar wallet vega is one of the most luminous stars in the sun's neighborhood. this version uses the test network (but can be switched to public network). to access it: * android <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.bnogal.vega> if you want to help me to test the last version, sign up at the next link and download from the store the last beta. <https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.bnogal.vega> * windows (same interface than the one for phones, i will make a desktop version later) <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0b0salpz9xoojukltvlzttkkycu0> * gnu/linux <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0b0salpz9xoojsureyudwbnlltwm> > repository to the sdk source code: > > <https://bitbucket.org/bnogal/stellarqore> > > current functions on the wallet (for the sdk go to the repository wiki) : - generate wallet. (some devices produces insecure random numbers, so i mix them with "human noise") - import/export wallet. - send/receive transactions, using qr codes or contacts. - fund other wallets. - set a password to save and use your wallet. encryption of the wallet. - create a contact list. - resolve federations. (that is, you can send xlm to <phone number>*coins.asia) about the encryption: it uses aes256. the password encoded in utf16, so you can use any char in any language, is derived byte by byte using pbkdf2 in a memory intensive way, merged with previous bytes results and hashed all together again. that way i use the hashing power while typing, this way short passwords requires still a big amount of work. everything is salted with the public key and some pepper to make dictionary attacks harder. it is ready to upgrade the hashing algorithm in future versions, as i plan to use argon2 when i find out a nice implementation. > wallet updates > > update 04/07/2017 1.0704 * fixed an error when sending fractional amounts. * history now get updated by pull event, this way you can access older elements or refresh for new ones. * button to refresh account balance. * button to fund the account. useful for testing as we are in the test network. * improved usability. update 14/07/2017 1.0714 * auto refresh when a transfer is received using stellar stream protocol. * option to choose qr mode: compatible encodes in ascii format, fast makes smaller qr codes. * text can be selected on contacts window and export wallet. * warnings when address or password are incorrect. update 28/07/2017 1.0726 * federation support. * button to switch to the public network. use it carefully. * wallet is now encrypted if a password is set. wallets were and are stored in the android application private area, so they can't be accessed easily. now they are also encrypted, just in case as a second protection. update 28/07/2017 1.0728 * compatibility to read/display stargaze qr codes. "compatible" qr mode now encodes in this way, "fast mode" will work with centaurus wallet. click on the qr code to switch the mode. * page to share your contact. stargaze wallet and compatibles can't read it from the receive page. update 07/08/2017 1.0807 * fixed an error in the sdk that caused errors sending transactions with memos. * option to select memo type. * removed button to refresh wallet, no needed anymore as streaming updates is working properly > original post: > > well, i have still lot of things to do, but i wanted to introduce my project so later i can get more feedback. i have been working on porting the sdk to c++. the main reason is to bring more developers to the stellar ship. as this sdk will help even more developers to build tools around stellar. of course i will make it opensource. it should work in almost all the platforms, windows/linux/ios/windows phone/android/watchos/raspberry pi/etc... and i have lot of plans with this amount of targets. the official sdk is huge, so i doubt i will have all the options ready for the deadline, it may take more time, but i already have the very basic features in a nice structure and from this point it is all about write more lines. from now to the deadline, i will focus on the sdk and make use of it on my new wallet. i want it to have new stuff compared to other wallets. i plan to update this post during the next days, giving more details of the features and answering the questions you may have. now, time to go back to work!

![](https://blog-source.stellar.expert/posts/stellar-expert-update-may-2020-revamped-iterface-and-new-apis/stellar-expert-update-2020.png) fresh from the oven – a new breathtaking issue of the world-famous [stellarexpert](https://stellar.expert/blog) updates magazine! well... maybe not world-famous, but at least well-known in stellar community. strictly speaking, "breathtaking" may sound a little bit exaggerated; let's say "interesting". not the right word? ok, how about "informative?" yeah, you are right, it's just another post about software updates. for me, all those changes look exciting because of the countless hours spent on the development. hence i can talk non-stop about the things barely noticeable for our users. here is a brief summary of the progress since the previous overview published in [november 2019](https://stellar.expert/blog/stellarexpert-update-november-2019). first of all, a few words about our current priorities. the last two years were like a roller coaster drive for me since stellarexpert backend and ledger data ingestion engine has been rebuilt from scratch at least four times, not counting hundreds of other significant changes. database, storage formats, api, data aggregation pipelines – everything was revised several times in attempts to optimize performance and introduce the foundation for new essential features. finally, we have a stable infrastructure and a clear vision of the future road, as well as apprehension of limitations that we can't overcome (perhaps, the most valuable information for future planning). of course, there is always a room for improvements – we are trying new approaches, playing with different data storage/aggregation strategies, moving to more robust hardware. it's a constant trial and error research. sometimes really painful. for example, an attempt to implement better filters and sorting for operations history lists (both account and asset history) failed miserably despite a tremendous amount of effort spent on this feature. we even released it (twice!), but had to roll back the changes, remove the corresponding interface fields, and postpone it for now because the database could not handle filtered operations search on multiple fields in some edge cases, resulting in degraded performance across the entire site. it was not a problem earlier as stellar pubnet has been significantly smaller, but now with 1 billion operations, we must invent new strategies for storing and querying stellar history. just a tiny glimpse at the problems we have to deal with. but this research is extremely important for the evolution of stellarexpert and other services built on top of it, pushing horizons even further. for instance, we played a lot with different database engines (neo4j, elasticsearch, dgraph, clickhouse) to prepare a foundation for building a full network graph showing the connections between all four millions accounts from stellar pubnet. maybe you've heard the recent news about the partnership between sdf and elliptic, a provider of the crypto-asset risk management. in simple words, they offer enterprise tools for detecting and preventing illegal and criminal operations. the network graph we are building will allow us to create an advanced system that can help wallets and application to do the same. this service will be available free of charge for everyone, as i believe that dealing with illegal activity is very important for a healthy network. maybe stellar is not widely used by drug dealers or terrorists, but we hear new stories from crypto-scam victims every day. we can make stellar network a safer place by proactively blocking payments to accounts spotted in sending spam transactions or promoting scam websites, so this looks like a very promising research direction. aside from building new features, our next top priority is user interface improvement. now, when we fixed most of the pressing issues, we started to put more effort into the user interface improvements. there are even more changes under the hood. maybe not so obvious, but still very important for the streamlined user experience and further development process. we spent a lot of time cleaning the code, updating libraries, optimizing dependencies. primary goals: * make the interface more responsive by cutting down the amount of loaded js/css. * revise api resource caching and employ rfc 5861 stale-while-revalidate technique for api calls. * unify ui, navigation, and split everything into loosely connected isolated components. we've published some reusable modules already, and we'll keep sharing our codebase with the community. the long-term goal is to make stellarexpert fully open-source, piece by piece, module by module. and finally, here is the list of the most notable interface changes and new functionality. ### offer details interface dex offers were the only ledger entries that looked neglected. from now on, you can check all offer details, trades, and modifications history. the data also includes inactive/removed offers that cannot be obtained from horizon api or core database. navigate to any dex offer using a website search or simply clicking a link from operations/trades history. ![offer changes history](https://blog-source.stellar.expert/posts/stellar-expert-update-may-2020-revamped-iterface-and-new-apis/offer-interface.png) ### reworked explorer home page layout we added assets general stats and xlm circulation/reserved supply, repositioned charts, and top assets list. ![revamped home page](https://blog-source.stellar.expert/posts/stellar-expert-update-may-2020-revamped-iterface-and-new-apis/home-page-layout.png) ### visual blocks we display a lot (sometimes maybe even more than enough) of statistics and network parameters, so we needed a way to unobtrusively group the data, visually separate content blocks. the funny thing is, now it is closer to how it looked in the very first version of stellarexpert back in 2017. a long travel towards the maximum ui simplicity and back again. ![cards layout](https://blog-source.stellar.expert/posts/stellar-expert-update-may-2020-revamped-iterface-and-new-apis/card-layout.png) ### night theme you asked, and we delivered. switch between day/night theme using a toggle button in the footer. ![night theme interface](https://blog-source.stellar.expert/posts/stellar-expert-update-may-2020-revamped-iterface-and-new-apis/night-theme.png) ### enhanced account page now stellarexpert shows organization info from `stellar.toml` on the account page for asset issuers and other accounts referenced in organization toml file, like validator addresses, organization's signing key, and all other accounts listed under the "accounts" sections. this helps to distinguish official organization accounts from malicious impostors. following users' feedback, we decided to highlight current account balances. ![new account balances visualization](https://blog-source.stellar.expert/posts/stellar-expert-update-may-2020-revamped-iterface-and-new-apis/account-balances.png) plus, we added account activity index metric based on the operations count during the last month/year which allows assessing account dynamic at a glance. ![account activity](https://blog-source.stellar.expert/posts/stellar-expert-update-may-2020-revamped-iterface-and-new-apis/account-activity-index.png) ### inline operation memos it turns out that some ecosystem projects extensively use transaction `memo` field to attach extra information to payments and manage offer operations. so we followed the advice of hans from blueorion and show memos directly in the operation history list. ![memos in the operations history](https://blog-source.stellar.expert/posts/stellar-expert-update-may-2020-revamped-iterface-and-new-apis/operations-memo.png) ### fixed protocol changes history the [protocol changes history](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/protocol-history) introduced some time ago had a major flaw. it displayed only those ledgers on which protocol bumps occurred, so other important adjustments (like base reserve amount or max transactions per ledger changes) were missing there. we refactored ingestion engine to store all protocol revisions. ![protocol versions](https://blog-source.stellar.expert/posts/stellar-expert-update-may-2020-revamped-iterface-and-new-apis/protocol-versions-history.png) ### operations live stream you know, stellar network is quite a busy place. with hundreds or often even thousands of operations per minute, tracking recent activity in a user-friendly way becomes a not-so-trivial technical task. a straightforward streaming of all operations from horizon server results in a rapidly flicking interface more resembling a stroboscope. also, transactions and operations have to be grouped together, otherwise the information on the screen will be incomplete. [operations live stream](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/operations-live-stream) interface shows recent operations on the ledger with the smooth ui that automatically pauses the stream on scrolling and allows fetching operations history using infinite scroll. ![protocol versions](https://blog-source.stellar.expert/posts/stellar-expert-update-may-2020-revamped-iterface-and-new-apis/operations-live-stream.png) ### asset rating api endpoint we opened one more api endpoint – a composite asset rating index. it is backed by a system of technical indicators based purely on the ledger activity parameters (like the number of trades, payments, age, volumes). this rating stats return the same data we show on the asset page. the rating is prone to manipulations as it is based only on technical parameters. but still, it can come in handy for wallets and dex interfaces. example: ``` get https://api.stellar.expert/explorer/public/asset/eurt-gap5letov6yie62yam56stdanprdo7zfdbgsnhjqiyggksmozahoos2s/rating ``` ``` { "asset": "eurt-gap5letov6yie62yam56stdanprdo7zfdbgsnhjqiyggksmozahoos2s-1", "rating": { "age": 10, "trades": 5, "payments": 7, "trustlines": 9, "volume7d": 14, "interop": 10, "average": 9.2 } } ``` read full api description [here](https://github.com/orbitlens/stellar-expert-explorer/blob/master/docs/api/rating.md). feel free to use it in your projects. --- as always, will be happy to hear your feedback and new feature proposals. *(cross-post from <https://stellar.expert/blog/stellar-expert-update-may-2020-revamped-iterface-and-new-apis>)*

![stellar workshops](https://blueorion.cc/images/gt_top_vote.png) ### summary: [freevoting](https://blueorion.cc/votehome) - voting service secured on the stellar blockchain to enable independent, immutable and verifiable elections. ### category: applications ### goals: we want to provide a full working voting platform which can be used in all countries, the objectives are: 1) creation and administration of election settings 2) voters can participate without owning a crypto account 3) authentication based on email and two-factor-authentication (mobile, authcode, ...) 4) automated creation of public election documents secured by hash in the stellar blockchain 5) automated creation of personal voting documents which prove the election participation 6) vote submission from client browser (js) to provide anonymity. 7) creation of election token to enable easy to understand transparency on voting results. ### description: due to the covid-19 situation i see a need of "easy to use" election platforms. with our solution every organization can vote online without the need of meeting in person. i also got inspired by the last scf submission of stellot.com and discussed the blind signature approach with the submitter to enable full anonymity. #### why is the voting platform valuable for stellar? the stellar network will be exposed to a wider community which has not been in touch with crypto or stellar yet. it also will show and prove the unique features of stellar. only with fast transaction times, it is possible to create a responsive blockchain voting solution. this application will enable a free and independent voting solution for all countries with instable government structures . in this sense we see our platform as another solution to enable democratic structures in remote areas. similar to the stellar projects which enable free banking services. #### technical solution to achive the main requirements we created a process which is based on the following aspects: 1) election token: for each election we create a unique stellar token which is used for all voting activites of this election. 2) each voter has one vote: we use the specific stellar infrastructure of channel accounts and sequence number to ensure that one user only can vote one time by javascript within the browser. 3) transparence: the vote submission will be done directly via javascript from the voters browser. the transaction id of the vote entry will be shown immediatly to the voter. this means the vote goes directly from voter (browser) to the network. the server can not interferre into the submission process. 4) proof of documents: there are two election documents: a) the election setup pdf with all voting details and voter emails and b) the election results pdf. the hash of both documents is written into the stellar blockchain to prove all election details for later reference. 5) election audit: we also plan to have a third party to do an audit on the election process. if the election went fine, a thrird party can approve that the election was done according to the rules. #### timeline * q1 2020 create authentication and communication workflow βœ“ * q1 2020 setup website with responsive user interface βœ“ * q1 2020 develop additional stellar modules to handle election functions βœ“ * q2 2020 admin interface to enable election creation βœ“ * q2 2020 email authentication βœ“ * q2 2020 write pdf hashes and document links into blockchain βœ“ * q2 2020 working prototype available βœ“ * q3 2020 prototype testing * q3 2020 finalize design tasks (pdf, email) * q3 2020 setup own domain address * q3 2020 enable hidden results during election phase and additional platform features * q4 2020 integrate blind signature algorithm * q4 2020 pentests, security, stability and scaling tests * q4 2020 2fa authentication with mobile / google-authcode * q4 2020 and 2021 establish ambassador progam and product marketing ### links: website: <https://blueorion.cc/votehome> live election - best covid-19 precautions: <https://blueorion.cc/elinvite-272-gvjry8ejlieyonpd9ubxqck6dzissr29> documentation: <https://blueorion.cc/documents/blueorion-voting-platform.pdf> youtube: [youtube.com/watch?v=mssrzpwulq0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mssrzpwulq0) keybase team: <https://keybase.io/team/blueorion> keybase user: smartstellar [twitter](https://twitter.com/blueorioncc) | [linkedin](https://linkedin.com/company/blueorion) | [meetups munich](https://www.meetup.com/de-de/stellar-org-munich-meetup-group/) ### tags: voting, election, ballot, voting receipt as always feedback and critic is welcome to improve the solution and the user interface. we are also looking out for prototype testers. if you are interested please join our keybase team.

in the invites field will automatically receive email invitations with the survey links (at least that how it works in traditional online survey systems). but you actually send the poll invitation link that has to be sent directly to the respondent by the survey initiator. when i click the link the system asks for the authentication. i had to copy-paste the respondent address email again, and only then the respondent receives the invitation email. if you worried that people will use your system for spamming, ask for the survey creation fee (like, 100xlm) to prevent potential bad actors from exploiting it.\n* when i finally got to the next step, the website returned the following error:\n\n```\nfatal error: uncaught argumentcounterror:\ntoo few arguments to function

that you write aggregated results in a file upon survey competition and save them on your server. this is not really decentralized or durable, since your server can go offline or switch to some other protocol in the future. how about query and show all results on the fly when a user visits the survey info page? everything is stored on the ledger, so you can fetch all transactions and aggregate results using js on the client side. this sounds like a more \"trustless approach\"; the results calculation logic doesn't depend on your backend in this case.\n\n\nre: open voting – you can list all on-going surveys on the website, but invite users into the poll by sending survey tokens to their accounts when they click a \"participate\" button. alternatively, you can also check additional preconditions before sending tokens and allow only specific users based on the survey participation criteria (e.g. only accounts older than one year, or accounts with at least 100 eurt, or only accounts holding reddit photon tokens).\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[orbitlens](https://galactictalk.org/d/2420/17) thanks again for testing. based on your last feedback, i started working on an open voting version. i still think open elections or surveys might be not the main focus, but it would be good to draw more attention to the platform, as it would be very easy to provide a participation link (without knowing the email). also a participation button towards ongoing surveys on the website is a great idea.\n\n\nhere is my feedback on your last entry:\n\n\n**implemented / solved**\n\n\n* website error: is fixed now (function call was not updated on the prod-server) note: as you posted the authenticated link above anybody can vote using this link. after one time voting the link will be not valid any more.\n\n\n**in discussion**\n\n\n* email subject: \"admin init - 238\": yes true its very technical, as for the prototype i keep it simple, but definitely can be improved\n* automatically receive email invitations: as you write currently the admin needs to send the invitation email to the voters by himself. this has the advantage that the admin can define the email text by himself. i propably will provide the option, if a) the admin wants to send the email by himself or b) the emails will be sent automatically (this is necessary anyway, if we have a higher number of voters)\n* prevent spamming: yes i installed that email verification on election creation to avoid spamming. to ask for a fee could be an option. as for now, giving easy access to test is important and i want to keep it free of fees.\n* decentralized check on results: \n\n a) as implemented: all votes are written into the blockchain and therefore the results can be reproduced any time without the server, just by counting the votes/memos. \n\n b) as implemented: the results pdf is hashed and also written into the blockchain, so if you store the pdf you can prove the results anytime later on without relying on the server \n\n c) currently we check the entries on the blockchain and store it temporary to have a fast access. as you write there also could be a script which creates the voting results on the fly. then this would be a open source script anybody can execute to get the results on a certain election. and our platform is not needed at all. did you mean that? maybe that script could be also provided by third parties/blockexplorer?\n* \"participate\" button: great idea, also regarding the additional preconditions\n", "name": "",

vote failed due to missing connection to the stellar network. make sure you have a stable internet connection, wait some minutes and try again by using your email voting link.` which is not exactly accurate as the problem is not with the internet itself, but the fee surge pricing. current fee stats can be fethced from the `https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org/fee_stats` endpoint. at the time of writing the minimum accepted base fee was 200 stroops.\n* what if the answer option is larger than the memo? probably it worth using answer identifier options – in combination with the answer option

simple trick for dynamic colors generation for a chart with arbitrary number of categories. you define a start color in hsl format, and then increment the `hue` value with a given interval, leaving the `lightness` and `saturation` parameters the same. as a result, you'll get a nice palette with almost unlimited number of colors. it works fine without colors overlap even for 20+ categories given that you choose the `increment` value wisely – it should be a prime number (for example, 17 or 23) to follow the [cicada principle](https://www.sitepoint.com/the-cicada-principle-and-why-it-matters-to-web-designers/). \n\non the other hand, sometimes poll initiators prefer to highlight only the winning category with

![stellar workshops](https://blueorion.cc/images/gt_top_vote.png) ### summary: [freevoting](https://blueorion.cc/votehome) - voting service secured on the stellar blockchain to enable independent, immutable and verifiable elections. ### category: applications ### goals: we want to provide a full working voting platform which can be used in all countries, the objectives are: 1) creation and administration of election settings 2) voters can participate without owning a crypto account 3) authentication based on email and two-factor-authentication (mobile, authcode, ...) 4) automated creation of public election documents secured by hash in the stellar blockchain 5) automated creation of personal voting documents which prove the election participation 6) vote submission from client browser (js) to provide anonymity. 7) creation of election token to enable easy to understand transparency on voting results. ### description: due to the covid-19 situation i see a need of "easy to use" election platforms. with our solution every organization can vote online without the need of meeting in person. i also got inspired by the last scf submission of stellot.com and discussed the blind signature approach with the submitter to enable full anonymity. #### why is the voting platform valuable for stellar? the stellar network will be exposed to a wider community which has not been in touch with crypto or stellar yet. it also will show and prove the unique features of stellar. only with fast transaction times, it is possible to create a responsive blockchain voting solution. this application will enable a free and independent voting solution for all countries with instable government structures . in this sense we see our platform as another solution to enable democratic structures in remote areas. similar to the stellar projects which enable free banking services. #### technical solution to achive the main requirements we created a process which is based on the following aspects: 1) election token: for each election we create a unique stellar token which is used for all voting activites of this election. 2) each voter has one vote: we use the specific stellar infrastructure of channel accounts and sequence number to ensure that one user only can vote one time by javascript within the browser. 3) transparence: the vote submission will be done directly via javascript from the voters browser. the transaction id of the vote entry will be shown immediatly to the voter. this means the vote goes directly from voter (browser) to the network. the server can not interferre into the submission process. 4) proof of documents: there are two election documents: a) the election setup pdf with all voting details and voter emails and b) the election results pdf. the hash of both documents is written into the stellar blockchain to prove all election details for later reference. 5) election audit: we also plan to have a third party to do an audit on the election process. if the election went fine, a thrird party can approve that the election was done according to the rules. #### timeline * q1 2020 create authentication and communication workflow βœ“ * q1 2020 setup website with responsive user interface βœ“ * q1 2020 develop additional stellar modules to handle election functions βœ“ * q2 2020 admin interface to enable election creation βœ“ * q2 2020 email authentication βœ“ * q2 2020 write pdf hashes and document links into blockchain βœ“ * q2 2020 working prototype available βœ“ * q3 2020 prototype testing * q3 2020 finalize design tasks (pdf, email) * q3 2020 setup own domain address * q3 2020 enable hidden results during election phase and additional platform features * q4 2020 integrate blind signature algorithm * q4 2020 pentests, security, stability and scaling tests * q4 2020 2fa authentication with mobile / google-authcode * q4 2020 and 2021 establish ambassador progam and product marketing ### links: website: <https://blueorion.cc/votehome> live election - best covid-19 precautions: <https://blueorion.cc/elinvite-272-gvjry8ejlieyonpd9ubxqck6dzissr29> documentation: <https://blueorion.cc/documents/blueorion-voting-platform.pdf> youtube: [youtube.com/watch?v=mssrzpwulq0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mssrzpwulq0) keybase team: <https://keybase.io/team/blueorion> keybase user: smartstellar [twitter](https://twitter.com/blueorioncc) | [linkedin](https://linkedin.com/company/blueorion) | [meetups munich](https://www.meetup.com/de-de/stellar-org-munich-meetup-group/) ### tags: voting, election, ballot, voting receipt as always feedback and critic is welcome to improve the solution and the user interface. we are also looking out for prototype testers. if you are interested please join our keybase team.

started working on an open voting version. i still think open elections or surveys might be not the main focus, but it would be good to draw more attention to the platform, as it would be very easy to provide a participation link (without knowing the email). also a participation button towards ongoing surveys on the website is a great idea.\n\n\nhere is my feedback on your last entry:\n\n\n**implemented / solved**\n\n\n* website error: is fixed now (function call was not updated on the prod-server) note: as you posted the authenticated link above anybody can vote using this link. after one time voting the link will be not valid any more.\n\n\n**in discussion**\n\n\n* email subject: \"admin init - 238\": yes true its very technical, as for the prototype i keep it simple, but definitely can be improved\n* automatically receive email invitations: as you write currently the admin needs to send the invitation email to the voters by himself. this has the advantage that the admin can define the email text by himself. i propably will provide the option, if a) the admin wants to send the email by himself or b) the emails will be sent automatically (this is necessary anyway, if we have a higher number of voters)\n* prevent spamming: yes i installed that email verification on election creation to avoid spamming. to ask for a fee could be an option. as for now, giving easy access to test is important and i want to keep it free of fees.\n* decentralized check on results: \n\n a) as implemented: all votes are written into the blockchain and therefore the results can be reproduced any time without the server, just by counting the votes/memos. \n\n b) as implemented: the results pdf is hashed and also written into the blockchain, so if you store the pdf you can prove the results anytime later on without relying on the server \n\n c) currently we check the entries on the blockchain and store it temporary to have a fast access. as you write there also could be a script which creates the voting results on the fly. then this would be a open source script anybody can execute to get the results on a certain election. and our platform is not needed at all. did you mean that? maybe that script could be also provided by third parties/blockexplorer?\n* \"participate\" button: great idea, also regarding the additional preconditions\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "no luck for me... managed to receive invitations and get to the voting page, but couldn't complete the voting. this time because of the fee surge pricing. a few observations based on the analysis of raw xdr of the transaction.\n\n\n* you always set the minimum transaction fee and it's impossible to get it submitted into the ledger when the fee surge pricing occurs. i tried like 8 times during the 15 minutes timespan and haven't succeeded. the horizon always returns `504 gateway timeout`, and your ui shows the followoing error: `connection error. your vote failed due to missing connection to the stellar network. make sure you have a stable internet connection, wait some minutes and try again by using your email voting link.` which is not exactly accurate as the problem is not with the internet itself, but the fee surge pricing. current fee stats can be fethced from the `https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org/fee_stats` endpoint. at the time of writing the minimum accepted base fee was 200 stroops.\n* what if the answer option is larger than the memo? probably it worth using answer identifier options – in combination with the answer option text (`2. the text itself`) or the identifier alone (`2`).\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "\n> currently we check the entries on the blockchain and store it temporary to have a fast

in this case any interesting party could install it on their website to verify or display voting results. we can also host such verification page on stellarexpert once your app goes in production.\n\n\nas a side note, try to play around with existing survey engines, like [surveymonkey](https://surveymonkey.com) or [typeform](https://www.typeform.com/). they are building online surveys for years and have a lot of ready-to-use receipts on how to implement invitations and prevent spamming while offering great ux for the respondents.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, {

an example election. you can participate on **\"best covid-19 precautions?\"** by using this link: <https://blueorion.cc/elinvite-254-ljuh2ixigxybflpfcgo18394t5b8sysu>\n* minimum transaction fee: is fixed now. transaction fees are set to a sufficient price level.\n* we also added the slides used in the youtube-video: <https://blueorion.cc/documents/blueorion-voting-platform.pdf>\n\n\n**in discussion**\n\n\n* what if the answer option is larger than the memo? currently we only allow answer options to a max length of 28 chars. yes, we also thought about identifier options. for transparency we go with direct text options written into the memo field. this could be changed later\n\n\nas always we are looking forward to more feedback.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, {

if you have private keys in there!\n\n\nan alternative solution is to use iframes, which comes with adequate compartmenting. browsers went a long way to make that thing well-secured and that's something we shouldn't overlook.\n\n\ni've been trying many ways to integrate things as my apps are modular & meant to connect with others - and as far as i can tell iframing is worth the trouble,

bars on the chart because they all painted red. \n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/zgszywa.png) \n\nusing different color for each bar might look better for charts with, like, more than 5 options. there is a simple trick for dynamic colors generation for a chart with arbitrary number of categories. you define a start color in hsl format, and then increment the `hue` value with a given interval, leaving the `lightness` and `saturation` parameters the same. as a result, you'll get a nice palette with almost unlimited number of colors. it works fine without colors overlap even for 20+ categories given that you choose the `increment` value wisely – it should be a prime number (for example, 17 or 23) to follow the [cicada principle](https://www.sitepoint.com/the-cicada-principle-and-why-it-matters-to-web-designers/). \n\non the other hand, sometimes poll initiators prefer to highlight only the winning category with different color when they post-process the results. which brings us to another feature request – an option to download or access via api raw poll results, so people could build a chart how they like. would love to see this in one of the future releases.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[orbitlens](https://galactictalk.org/d/2420/30) thanks for your feedback.\n\n\n* different
