3dba4a3ad3b4b071dec6bc2f7b13c6fc | i've noticed that there aren't many usd anchors around. and no surprise; dealing with dollars is hard. hopefully some serious financial institutions will come around to stellar in time, but for now small businesses have some tools to deal with money. one such tool is the stripe api, and in fact using stripe you can run an entire anchor which takes deposits and allows withdrawals. what's an anchor you ask? look here:
<https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/anchor/>
my sbc entry is a full-stack software package which, with minimal setup, runs a website, stellar bridge, and backend server and talks to the stripe api. thanks to stripe, you never touch user payment information, so you're not subject to some of the more tricky regulations.
the package can be found here:
<https://github.com/jackkleeman/stellar-stripe-anchor>
and the readme contains a full set of instructions for getting everything up and running. it's genuinely really easy to become an anchor. i really hope that people help me develop this and build on top of it, and soon we might have many options for usd anchors. please, give it a try; stripe provide great testing tools so it's really simple to test.

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/>

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>

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.

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/>

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.**~~

1745a6c9c63b3412b0452d1c3b400705 | new to this and looking for any thoughts on the following scenario:
* i sent stellar lumens xlm from bittrex to stargazer desktop app (mac ios)
* confirmed receipt and balance present in stargazer app
* when i set up the stargazer app on desktop i established password
* 2 weeks after depositing xlm into stargazer, went into stargazer and account "empty"
sound like a theft? or, anything i can do to try to recover? i can't find any sort of support to contact for stargazer app. thoughts welcome. thanks in advance.

d7ab34105a34777385564774d70f05a0 | hello stellar community, we are a **social enterprise** based in germany looking for a payment providers that allows us to transfer small amounts of money globally at low costs. we have developed a tool that allows customers to **tip in online shops.** the tips are then sent to factory workers for example in pakistan and vietnam. i am wondering if your solution would be feasible for us since some recipients do not have a smartphone or access to internet. would mass payouts work in your system? conventionally this would be done with api integration or csv upload. does stellar have an option for this?
thanks a lot!!

out such a system on the mainnet without thoroughly describing the process from a ux perspective. currently, it looks more like a playground for developers with all those scary contracts.\n> \n> \n\n\nyes, this is the first concrete example of how p2p lending can be made possible with stellar's multisignature, atomicity, sequence and time bounds features. the reason i post it on the public network comes from numerous tests i have done to make sure the contracts are working smoothly. i am preparing the galactictrade testnet subdomain version for those who want to test the contracts deeper.\n\n\n\n> [orbitlens](https://galactictalk.org/d/2325/39) also, i don't understand the collateral requirements and don't see a forced liquidation option – arguably the most complex part of the

this mechanism exists in many projects that use ethereum smart contracts, but risk management is left entirely to the contract there, and if there is an error in the contract, people's funds may disappear and i have seen this many times. therefore, the \"margin calls\" mechanism is left optional in some projects. this is something i am working on and trying to find a solution, but it is not a must. the risk-taking party can secure itself by adjusting the haircut, interest and maturity values according to the risks envisaged before starting the credit transaction. trying to make dynamic \"margin calls\" with existing stellar features will complicate this system and lead users to sign numerous contracts.\n\n\n\n> [orbitlens](https://galactictalk.org/d/2325/39) without such an

\n\n\nif lender thinks that the value of the asset he accepts is fluctuating, he can determine a loan period, haircut value and interest value and protect himself. here, they determine the risks of the lender and the borrower themselves and accept this and start this process. i am working on different solutions to protect both sides, but my priority is that both parties always approve something on the system at the minimum level.\n\n\n\n> [orbitlens](https://galactictalk.org/d/2325/39) that's a good starting point, but please don't roll out this on the mainnet until you make sure that both

p2p lending and borrowing possible on stellar, and no doubt that it will continue to evolve and improve. perhaps we will see new caps and side-chains that will steer this, and then much more dynamic contracts will be possible.\n\n\nthe reason i posted it on mainnet was to show that the contracts are more than theoretical. it's really easy to control it with the limits i set. for example, to be able to open a lending-buying offer for a maximum of $ 50. i am sure that this worry will disappear with the testnet version i will release.\n\n\nthe only thing i think might be a problem here for a long time is \"surge pricing\". that's why i set the maximum credit period to 30 days in the current version. when the network enters the \"surge pricing\" mode and the preauthtxs are sent to the network, if the predetermined transaction fee for the contracts is insufficient, it will receive the error \"tx\\_insufficient\\_fee\" until the network becomes normal, but this does not prevent the contracts from still being valid because it does not affect the sequence number of the escrow account.\n\n\n",

2d4e2e14d03aafd1630600bd4e911686 | i often chat with people in the stellar slack who want to build something similar to venmo and they tend to struggle understanding how different concepts apply for what they are trying to do.
for this sbc i'll be working on a set of tutorials to create a complete walk through on how to create an app similar to venmo using stellar and include an open source reference architecture that others can use to get started quickly.
in the stellar universe, an entity like venmo is called an anchor. from the stellar documentation:
> anchors are entities that people trust to hold their deposits and issue credits into the stellar network for those deposits.
>
>
the [official documentation](https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/anchor/index.html#customer-accounts) to create an anchor suggests two ways to maintain customers accounts. the first one is to maintain a stellar account for each customer and the second one is to maintain a single account and use the memo field to identify who is the recipient. the documentation then expands on the second method without covering the first one.
in this set of tutorials, i'll maintain a stellar account for each customer and making it transparent that i am using stellar. users will use their twitter handle or something similar to send "dollars" to each other and our back-end will take care of signing transactions on behalf of the customers.
by the end of the series i will have:
* a react-native wallet similar(ish) to venmo released under mit license.
* a node server to sign transactions, create and setup accounts.
list of articles for this series:
* creating your own asset: how to create an asset representing fiat and information on trustlines.
* understanding multisig: how to manage accounts with a multisig schema and considerations.
* using the stellar-sdk in react-native: introduce the stellar-sdk polyfill and how to display an account data in a rn app.
* creating an user signup flow: very simple user signup flow based in user name. it shows how to setup stellar account, multisig and trustline schema.
* depositing "fiat" into your wallet: a fake implementation in the wallet similar to transferring money from a bank.
* showing account transactions: implements the transaction history in the rn wallet.
* sending payments: flow for doing p2p payments.
* cashing out: a fake implementation for transferring money to the bank account
note: for a production level application using aws directly instead of heroku would be a better idea but for this tutorial i'll make some assumptions and then leave notes where things will require better security considerations.
looking forward to hearing your comments and learning what would you like me to write about with these articles.

0dfafdd3f71c7e387a1d58130c15f242 | here's a space to discuss and ask questions about the ayadee trak supply chain system. our work has started out focused on agricultural supply chains, since in developing countries over half the economy is in agriculture, and thus we could make a bigger economic impact focused on these markets. we use stellar because it is fast, light, cheap and reliable, and we built a very easy to use app on top of this for our pilots. the initial pilots, with turmeric produced by a women's cooperative in india and coffee produced by a very environmentally friendly farm in costa rica tested the idea that there was demand to track this info, and to have a simple and easy to use app, but now we have made the app even simpler (four buttons total, and hitting send automatically adds the date, time and gps location as a hash of the data is sent into the blockchain), and of course with this second round the data is going into the blockchain, as opposed to the pilot where data went into aws.
we have had a lot of requests about using this kind of traceability for non-agricultural use cases, and we'll post in this space about some of the other pilots that are launching to verify provenance of goods, as well as preventing fraud and counterfeiting.

**project title:**
stellar’s blockchain academy, a decentralized center for technical and functional knowledge exchange.
**summary:**
the blockchain academy will be a not-for-profit decentralized center focused on collecting, maintaining, and sharing technical, functional, and general knowledge of the stellar ecosystem.
this npo will embody the stellar development foundation (sdf) mandate and will be created to foster and empower the stellar network through open source collaboration and continued improvement in partnership among stellar members, schools, regulators, and industries chambers of commerce.
**category:**
resources & content
**goals:**
to develop collaboration and the sharing of knowledge on 3 initial fronts or workstreams:
* create and broadcast seminars
develop the infrastructure and materials required to instruct new technical and functional talent in the classroom and virtually.
encourage new comers into the ecosystem to join the community, participate, learn, and master stellar’s blockchain technology.
* facilitate regular showrooms of blockchain use and success cases
present success stories across the ecosystem
carry out of both presence and online meetings to discuss and analyse different blockchain-based future use cases and brainstorm about real-world implementation.
promote the participation of companies to show how stellar’s blockchain could be useful for their industries.
space for internal crowd funding, alliances, and partnerships.
* facilitate collaborative think-tank forums to gather input from the ecosystem brainstorming solutions for:
untapped spaces in the blockchain space as a whole that could warrant investigation;
unfulfilled needs and wants from the ecosystem and brainstorm solutions; and
regulatory issues and challenges
**timeline:**
initial milestones:
* register the non-for-profit organization : april 2020
we will establish a non-profit organization to start operations immediately, it will be established in the province of san luis, argentina.
* set up the academy’s base of operations inside the technology park. : april 2020
our team has already been approached by pilp (information technology park at universidad nacional de la punta). the have offered free infrastructure and university resources to have stellar by part of their intended it cluster with the objective to strengthen the relationship between the academic profile of students trained by the university and the needs of it companies for highly qualified professional developers.
* build seminars : june 2020
build specific training seminars around technical aspects, architecture, protocols and solutions provided by stellar’s blockchain. current participants in the stellar ecosystem will be encouraged to contribute by sharing their inputs and knowledge.
these seminar classes will be broadcasted online so any member of the global community or new comers can participate.
* create think tank and thought leadership forums : may 2020
develop and manage brainstorming forums around current and future challenges and disruptions to the banking system by identifying high-impact areas and subjects of interest.
* the goal is to understand the current and anticipate the future evolution required from stellar’s ecosystem with the support and buy-in from supervisory and regulatory bodies.
* set up sdf governance as a design authority for all initiatives : on going.
blockchain academy will aim to align itself under the governance of sdf in order to initiate and manage all initiatives with the required alignment and support from sdf’s leadership.
* community engagement for open collaboration : on going.
the key deliverable of the academy is to manage open collaboration in and for all matters. in the same spirit that today projects are reviewed, criticized, and selected for community fund awards, seminars and thought leadership will be requested or proposed, developed, reviewed, criticized, approved, published, and further improved in open collaboration with a clear governance structure and quality assurance process in place.
**description:**
stellar’s blockchain academy will be a not-for-profit decentralized knowledge exchange center that will provide seminars and facilitate forums to help share and expand stellar's blockchain know-how.
this not-for-profit entity will embody the stellar development foundation (sdf) mandate and will be created to foster the stellar ecosystem, committed to driving blockchain innovation by providing education, promoting research and entrepreneurship among stellar participants and perhaps with other schools, universities, regulators, and industries chambers.
the base of operations will be based inside a well-known educational and technological park of argentina, located at san luis state and named pilp (parque informático de la punta). this park contains several well established technologic companies that join together to leverage and exploit their synergy and is one of the most technology advanced educational centers (universidad de la punta) within the country. dozens of developers and it professionals graduate every year, starting their careers first in the companies within the region.
initially, we want to start with virtual seminars for the ecosystem while hosting face-to-face workshops and seminars for local students and developers. all seminars will introduce the technology and key concepts of stellar’s protocol allowing remote participants to interact and collaborate.
as a next step, we will continue with stellar’s blockchain use cases workshops, focused on showing how this technology is being implemented to solve real world problems, and how it could be used to help other industries. we will encourage companies to get involved, share and learn so that they can pull ideas and resources into their own projects for implementation of improvements or development of new solutions.
stellar's blockchain academy will aim to align itself under the governance of sdf in order to initiate and manage all initiatives with the required alignment and support from sdf’s leadership.

as an important part of [@papayabot](https://galactictalk.org/d/378-papayabot-stellar-wallet-in-telegram) i'm currently working on prototype of anchor for erc20 ethereum tokens. at the moment i'm testing it with icn.
it is generic enough to support any, but as a precaution i'll be enabling them one by one, once everything is tested.
i'll make my prototype available in a few days.
i'm intentionally not using smart contract yet, want to have it working in production for some time, before i understand all caveats.
at the moment process works as following:
- you submit ethereum and stellar address to the endpoint, receiving random string in response
- you sign that random string to confirm ethereum address ownership and submit it
that's it, now token sent from your registered address to anchor address will be forwarded to your stellar account. and vice versa.
i'm looking forward for your questions, ideas and suggestions. what do you think is important for that kind of service?

hi lumenswap community!
the lsp auction is here! if you want to remind yourself why we are launching our native token, and what our goals are for lumenswap and enabling defi functionality on the stellar network, take a look at our [lsp tokenomics](https://medium.com/lumenswap/third-milestone-lsp-asset-ac0557e7c80c?source=collection_home---4------6-----------------------) post.
read on to understand all about the $lsp auction and how you can participate in it.
### community first
we have had no venture capital investment or a private token sale. this is a community-first auction, entirely transparent, for the lumenswap ecosystem. no private equity lockups, no vested interests.
### auction type
we have decided to use an english auction for the sale of our asset, $lsp. we believe this is the fairest form of the auction for the lumenswap community and will maximize meritocratic participation in the ecosystem.
in order to ensure fairness, participants will have a predetermined amount of time to place their best bids.
once the auction has concluded, lsp will be distributed to all successful participants, starting with the highest bidder. from then on, the next highest bidder is selected in sequence, until the auction pot is depleted.
this auction consists of two main parameters:
**1. base price**
this price is set by the auctioneer and bidders must be willing to pay values equal to or greater than this price.
**2. auction time**
applicants can send their bids during this period.
winner selection and asset distribution
after the auction time is over and all the bids are received, the auctioneer ( stellar network) distributes the assets from the highest bid to the lowest.
to better understand how the auction works, let’s look at a few cases.
suppose alice, bob, and george want to participate in a ford car auction where five ford model x cars are to be sold.
**the first case**

according to the bids, alice will receive 2 cars at a price of $3, bob will receive 3 cars at a price of $2.5, and george will not receive a car because we have ran out of them!
**the second case**
now, let’s consider another scenario.

this time, george now will receive 2 cars at a price of $3, alice will receive 2 cars at a price of $3, and bob will receive 1 car at a price of $2.5.
as this example shows, if demand is less than or equal to supply, one can win the auction with the base price.
**the third case**

according to the bids, bob will receive 4 cars for $3 and 1 car goes to either alice or george, but to which one?
since they’ve both offered the same price, we use “time” to prioritize participants. the person who sent their offer earlier will have the priority.
### auction rules
**there is no kyc**
due to the nature of the blockchain and the specific mission of lumenswap, which is decentralization, we allow anyone to participate in the auction without enforcing any kyc.
**the base price of the asset is 0.002 xlm**
your bid must be equal to or greater than 0.002 xlm; otherwise, you will have no chance of winning this auction.
**there is no limit on the number of bids you can send**
you can bid as many times as you want, for example, you can send a bid for 0.002 xlm and another bid for 0.004 xlm.
**there is no upper limit on the price you can bid**
you can bid as huge as you want, 0.002 xlm or 10 xlm.
**you have until (2021-07-29 14:00 utc)to send your bid**
starting from the moment you read the article until the due date, you have time to send your bid.
**the price is not the same for everyone**
everyone receives assets according to the price that they bid on, which means that the asset price will not be the same for everyone.
**keep an eye on the bid chart**
the key to your success in this auction is to pay attention to the status of bids constantly.
**do not be surprised if you do not receive lsp after sending a bid**
until the end of the auction (2021–07–29 14:00 utc), no one will receive lsp assets. after the auction is over, the network will start distributing assets to the winners.
**unsold lsps will be burned.**
from the 120 million lsps that are available for sale, any remaining amount that has no demand will be sent to an address with zero weight. they’ll be completely out of circulation and will be burned.
### how to participate in the auction
to create a great experience for the auction, we designed and implemented the lumenswap auction section, which will help you review the latest auction status. you’ll see lots of details, including the number and the size of the bids.
<https://app.lumenswap.io/auction>

let’s talk about the different sections of this page.
**1. the latest bid price**
it shows the last sent bid. of course, the last does not mean the highest.
**2. total amount of bids**
the total amount of purchase bids shown in both lsp and xlm.
**3. total number of bids**
shows the total number of sent bids to buy lsp.
**4. volume/price chart**
this is the most important part of this section. when you click on a price in the chart, you can see the total bids offered.
how can this chart help you participate in and win auctions?
as you know, 120 million lsps are going to be sold at the auction. for example, when the chart shows a price of 0.004 xlm to 140 million, it means in order to win the auction, your bid needs to be above 0.004 xlm.
note: that this chart may change based on demand and changes in the number of bids and their prices. so, keep an eye on this chart until the final seconds of the auction.
**5. latest bids**
in the recent bids tab, you can see the last 200 bids that participants have sent.
**6. my bids**
in the my bids tab, you can view or delete the bids you have sent.
**7. send bid button**
to send a bid, first click on the send bid button and then enter the amount and price in the module. you have to enter the value to lsp and the price to xlm.
after sending the information and clicking on the send button, you have to sign it using your wallet, and then you will receive a confirmation message.
**note**: all the information above works with bids above the base price, i.e. 0.002 xlm. so, if an bid is placed below this price, it will not be included and analyzed in the statistics we just discussed
note: all of the operations in the lsp auction take place on the stellar network. this means that the auction will be completely decentralized and transparent.
**note**: we have built the auction section on horizon, which limits each person to 3,600 requests per hour. to avoid limitations, try not to refresh the page too many times and do not send unnecessary requests to the network.
### send a bid on sdexs

you do not have to use lumenswap to participate in the auction. although using the special section will make your job a lot easier, we don’t want to restrict our users. you can send your bid in the lsp/xlm asset pair on any platform you like, such as stellarterm or lobstr, or stellarx.
**how to place a bid on stellarterm**
to get started, first go to the [stellarterm](https://stellarterm.com/) site and connect your wallet, then watch the video below.
**how to place a bid on lobstr**
if you do not have lob store installed in your phone, first go to the [lobstr](https://lobstr.co/) website and install the [android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lobstr.client) or [ios](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lobstr-stellar-wallet/id1404357892?mt=8) version, then create a new account and watch the video below.
**how to place a bid on stellarx**
if you do not have an account in stellarx, first log on to their [website](https://www.stellarx.com/) and create an account. then, enter this [url](https://www.stellarx.com/markets/native/lsp:gab7sthvd5bdh3eeyxpi3om7pcs4v443pyb5fnt6cfgjvpdlmkdm24wk) and then watch the video below.
**how to place a bid in lumenswap**
to get started, first go to the [lumenswap portal auction](https://app.lumenswap.io/auction) and connect your wallet, then watch the video below.

### **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

**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:
“your 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 ‘active orders’ section.

**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

**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 ‘xlm’ for xlm asset.
for example:
lax -> xlm
lumenswap.com/lax-gazzb5kpowewk4c5s5h5b6ypr2eqmuijeffbnq6mwyyag7doeelbohlw/xlm

93307f3019fdb483090102c2034b93ab | good day good day..
so i'm hoping to get some help for my issue pretttty pretty please -- here are the facts of this stellar case:
1. i was running a stargazer 1.5.3 wallet which i hadn't checked for several months.
2. when i logged on and tried sending out my remaining balance to my ledger account.. the send button would open a new window and show a signature window but upon pressing ok to send not thing would happen.
3. i got frustrated and tried to export my qr code to a new wallet but i didn't realize it password protected so it wouldn't transfer over to my new wallet on my new computer..
4. my computer that held my original wallet blacked out on me and now i have no way i retrieving my account again- i have the qr code and g wallet address (but from what i've researched its password protected) - when i try to import it to a new wallet - it reads the qr code but the information opens a page that reads the following {{vm.back}} {{vm.heading}} page... etc. etc.. at the bottom theres a blue button to press that reads {{'account.import ...... }} but when i press it nothing happens.
im sort've out of ideas..
5. i don't have my secret phrase ... but i have my qr code (i believe pass protected) & g wallet address..
can anyone please assist -
much appreciated!

**project title:** sdk for stellar qt
**summary:** new developments to the stellar ecosystem!
**category:** applications, tools, infrastructure
**goals:** as qt/qml allows to program once and deploy it to linux/x11, ios/tvos/watchos, windows, android, universal windows platform, webassembly (etc.) the sdk aims to bring new developments from different tech areas to the stellar ecosystem
**timeline:**
• already two years of maintenance & updates on the sdk
• continuous maintenance and updates on the sdk >> from now until more sdk users; it can stay updated by collaboration from others
• user guides: basics of qt & how to use the sdk >> asap
• declarative qml version of the sdk (queries only) >> end of april
• declarative qml version of the rest of the sdk (operations) >> end of july
• sign up to publish the sdk on <https://www.qt.io/marketplace> to promote the sdk and stellar >> once qml side is ready
**description:**
qt is a free and open-source widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces as well as cross-platform applications that run on various software and hardware platforms such as linux, windows, macos, android or embedded systems with little or no change in the underlying codebase while still being a native application with native capabilities and speed. (source: wikipedia)
the sdk for stellar qt enables developers to build applications using qt/c++ and introduces the stellar community to qt developers. this helps bring new users and ideas to stellar as qt professionals are working in areas different to web-based developments (such as desktop applications, iot, embedded software..). the sdk for stellar qt offers all the operations and queries available in horizon in an asynchronous way.
one of my goals is to extend this sdk to permit to program directly from the declarative qml language. qml will be a higher-level abstraction that makes the creation of apps easier and allows reusable interfaces.
**links:** <https://github.com/bnogalm/stellarqtsdk>
**tags:** sdk, c++, qt

hi since the panel selection phase of lab fund has been over i taught it would be nice to open up discussion channel on project i have started a little over a month a go. its about [crypto link](https://communityfund.stellar.org/lab-fund#/entry/fc1e974917945952eb2da95c6ee8a9e78f39ede8ad920d3b1f48b116388651cb) which is a discord multi functional and multi community bot currently running currently on stellar testnet. leveraging the characteristics of stellar lumen and issued token on stellar chain, allows for execution of peer-to-peer crypto transactions, token icos/project promotions, and discord community monetization opportunities.
currently the project is a "two-man band" running on as we started little over a month a go and has been till now self-funded.
lab fund [details](https://communityfund.stellar.org/lab-fund#/entry/fc1e974917945952eb2da95c6ee8a9e78f39ede8ad920d3b1f48b116388651cb) are a bit outdated as a lot has been changed.
### why discord
in recent years discord has gained popularity across all spectrum of users. still considered as a gamers platform, in recent years, drastic increase of crypto and other topic specific communities has been observed.
from year 2016 - 2019 user registration count has gone up from 25 million to drastic 250 million with monthly active users set to 100 million. there is 6.7 million discord active servers where total daily activity is set to 14 million users. more on statistics can be found in this [article](https://www.businessofapps.com/data/discord-statistics/#:~:text=discord%20other%20key%20stats%201%20four%20billion%20minutes,at%2019%20million%20%28%20engadget%29%20more%20items...%20).
taking beforementioned statistics, ease of discord server creation, and support for bots, represent an enormous potential and opportunity for stellar ecosystem to gain additional exposure, and bring its unique characteristics of fast low-cost transactions and low-cost token creation to the masses.
having that in mind, we have therefore set on the road to create crypto link discord bot, a "bridge" between stellar ecosystem and discord platform. through its use, every discord user and discord server will be able to create tokens on stellar network, execute payments, and create full blown economy as they see fit for their daily operations.
additionally, crowdfunding activities costs a lot of resources before ideas can obtain initial funds for project development. therefore we have decided to expand crypto link beyond the limits of the bot. its ecosystem will involve as well project accelerator program, where potential projects/ideas will be granted crypto link staff support, in order to shad a light on the idea and make a first step in crypto-sphere.
### ***some of the functions:***
**- crypto link uplink**
its a service allowing guild owners to link-up with the crypto link(cl) system and get all notifications on what is happening around the discord communities which have integrated cl into the system.
[](https://postimg.cc/qkkmqt25)
**- peer to peer off chain xlm and token transactions**
currently we have two transaction types available for p-2-p xlm and tokens. one type is public, where content of the transaction and value are displayed to cl uplink and the other one is private where content and value of transaction is known only to the sender and recipient. to be able to identify type of transactions we have selected emoji🕵️ for it. both participants receive transaction report with conversion rates. example as a sender for public:
[](https://postimg.cc/94ynpsyz)
example as a sender for private
[](https://postimg.cc/qzrn3q6s)
**- merchant activity**
merchant allows guild owners to sell discord roles to their members which vary in duration and price. fully customizable it give the opportunity to structure the community and services to 100% fit the needs. once user purchases, funds are transferred to guild owner wallet and role given to the user.
[](https://postimg.cc/94qfxhxj)
[](https://postimg.cc/p52g4cyk)
**- crowdfunding, ico's, project promotions**
cl will allows projects which will fit the standards, to organize as well part of crowdfunding, ico's over discord. they will have their own assigned wallet in the system, where users will be able to purchase tokens with xlm.
**- command list to operate with cl**
all currently integrated commands (user accounts, merchant, guild owner, etc) into the system are briefly explained in [cl command map](https://github.com/launch-pad-investments/crypto-link/blob/master/docs/commandmap.md)
there will be other areas expanded in the future but a being a two man band and both coders (one professional, and other just a fan) we are running short on time and skills. if someone would like to join the team and contribute in some other area than development, please feel free to contact us.

5bf3f3152c6e62740893db2be0f7d4e2 | ### timeline:
the stellar community fund will be held quarterly throughout the year.
the first scf round will begin today and end on june 30. final voting will begin on june 23 and run 1 week. we expect this program will evolve significantly after the first round. in the spirit of the space, the first round will be a “beta test”. participant feedback is welcome and will help shape future scf rounds.
### proposals and proposal guidelines:
if you’ve participated in sbc, this section will be familiar!
all proposals should be submitted as a new thread to [galactictalk.org under the scf category](https://galactictalk.org/t/scf). proposals can be for applications, tools, content (such as tutorials, books, and videos), or events. do not submit strictly proof-of-concept proposals. submissions must have a live element and be available somewhere that people can use/review them.
### proposals should contain:
**project title:** the name of your project. please adhere to the [stellar brand policy](https://www.stellar.org/brand-policy/).
**summary:** a simple sentence summary of your project.
**goals:** what your project plans to accomplish broken down by objectives.
**description:** the description should answer questions like “what does your project enable users to do,” “why is your project valuable for stellar,” and “how does your project utilize stellar.” it should also cover what platforms the project supports (ex; windows, chrome, etc.) and relevant documentation. this section should be very detailed.
**link:** 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.
**anything else:** any additional information you think the community should know about your project!
after submitting a proposal, it’s important to stay active and answer any questions the community may have about your project.
### voting
voting will take place in two rounds. a nomination round and award round.
nominations will be ongoing throughout the proposal submission window. for this beta round, nominations will be based on the most liked proposals on galactictalk (discounting likes/nominations from accounts made after march ‘19). though this will lock out new community members from participating in the nomination process, we still highly encourage new users to sign up and participate in proposal discussion so they can participate in nominations next round. this account lock-out will not affect who can submit a proposal. the top 7 most-liked proposals will move on to the final voting round.
final voting will be held on [/r/stellar](https://reddit.com/r/stellar). after nominations close, we will open a poll thread with the names, descriptions, and links of the nominee proposals. users will vote by selecting one of the seven options in the poll and by also leaving a comment only confirming the name of the project they are voting for. votes from duplicate accounts and vote manipulation will be discarded. please only comment the name of the proposal you are voting for in the voting thread. any other comments will be removed. there will be a second thread for proposal discussion linked.
voting will last 7 days. for this round we will not be using photon weighted polls. votes will be counted based on poll results, subtracting any votes that do not also leave a comment confirmation.
### awards:
the stellar community fund is being allotted 12,000,000 lumens for the year. each round will award 3,000,000 lumens. winners will be awarded proportionally out of this pool based on final vote percentages.
### eligibility and legal
please only submit one proposal per person/organization per round. winning entries will not be eligible for future rounds. all proposals must have some proof-of-use of the stellar protocol or the benefit to the stellar ecosystem. we recommend all proposals be completed in english. proposals must have a functional element (no purely conceptual proposals) and be accessible in the united states.
unfortunately, if you’re a national or resident of cuba, iran, north korea, syria, sudan, or crimea, regulations prevent us from sending you any lumens. additionally, we cannot send lumens to residents of the us states of alabama, new york, georgia, connecticut, new mexico, hawaii, vermont, and washington.
sdf intends to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. in accordance to us law, all winners will be required to submit kyc documentation and fill out the relevant tax form. failure to do so will result in your rewards being forfeit. these tax forms will be used for accounting and reporting purposes so please be aware of your countries applicable laws regarding tax-filing. lumens will be reported at closing price on the day they are sent to you.
if you intend to utilize the stellar logo in your project, it must follow the brand policy. lack of adherence to these standards may result in disqualification. use of the words “official” in regards to or ambiguity of connection with the stellar development foundation may result in disqualification. avoid using stellar in your project name since it could be confusing for the community.
engaging in vote manipulation will cause your proposal to be disqualified. this includes botspam, fake/sock puppet accounts, and brigading.
all participants will retain the intellectual property associated with their submission.
ps: feel free to join the stellar community fund [keybase team](https://keybase.io/team/stellar.communityfund).

"text": "i'd like to address a few things here because i think it'd be good for a little bit of time to reset. i've spoken to many of you but i think it will be good to aggregate a bit of those conversations in one place.\n\n\n1. this is the first of 3 rounds of scf that will happen this year. there will be 2 more. this is not the one and only round of scf. they are ongoing. the next one will begin after this one.\n\n\n\"the stellar community fund will be held quarterly throughout the year. \n\nthe first scf round will begin today and end on june 30. final voting will begin on june 23 and run 1 week. we expect this program will evolve significantly after the first round. in the spirit of the space, the first round will be a “beta test”. participant feedback is welcome and will help shape future scf rounds.\"\n\n\nwe know that the current setup isn't perfect and as we mentioned in the introduction, the program will continue to evolve and improve based on community feedback.\n\n\nin case you missed it: \"we’ve started work on a separate web app featuring weighted votes based on a handful of signal items. we’ll still encourage discussion on galactictalk because i think it's important - but the voting/project-sorting will not be on gt or reddit. it will be a site specifically designed for the scf, iterating on what we’ve learned from this round and what we’ll learn in future rounds.\"\n\n\nthe web app will likely not be ready until round 3, so the current system will need to continue with some tweaks until then. however, we will definitely be utilizing the community fund channel discussion to figure out how to best weigh signals.\n\n\nbut, the next round will start right at the heels of this one. since individual projects can only win once - the intent was that this will help foster some innovation and provide feedback to projects that are working hard! the intent wasn't to stoke the flames of war. i feel like the spirit of the scf should be collaborative and not combative. my hope is future refinements will help ease some of the tension - but there's also got to be some consideration of how we treat each other during this process. constructive criticism is always welcome but it has to be done with some level of respect.\n\n\ni've also said this isn't the replacement to sbc. this is an ongoing experiment for community distribution. i would really like to see it continue on.\n\n\nas outlined in the original post. \"one of the major requests we’ve heard has been a method for the community to participate in guiding lumen distribution. we also wanted to make it possible for more than just developers to participate in growing the ecosystem.\" there are all kinds of people participating in the stellar ecosystem. some of them aren't developers and haven't had an opportunity to present their ideas. i am eager to see what kind of projects come from both developers and community members with other backgrounds.\n\n\n2. the rules\n\n\ngoing off of the above, since winners can't resubmit the same project - we have not limited participation to a certain threshold. anyone can participate. while it is currently up to the gt community to nominate - in the future it should be open to everyone during nomination round. this will open the pool of voters from the onset. the ico rule was placed not because of a \"funding limitation requirement\" but to protect the community from potential token scams. having a token is not grounds for disqualification - we just don't want to push the overall community to having to buy into a token sale in order to see how a project functions.\n\n\nwe have been recording all of the feedback we've seen and the rules will be expanded to clarify some of this in the next round.\n\n\n3. disqualification and brigading\n\n\nif you've followed what i've said before - there's a heavy emphasis on the spirit of things. the last thing we think is productive is disqualifying anyone. disqualification really should only be on the grounds of blatant manipulation (buying votes) and abuse (overtly being hostile). if someone is breaking the stellar code of conduct (<https://www.stellar.org/community-guidelines/>) - this is something we are very serious about.\n\n\nhowever, we did outline that vote manipulation is against the rules. \"engaging in vote manipulation will cause your proposal to be disqualified. this includes botspam, fake/sock puppet accounts, and brigading.\"\n\n\nsince this wasn't deeply defined, we aren't going to kick anyone out who has used dummy accounts to vote - but the gt team did add additional constraints to remove extraneous accounts from this round. however, please try to avoid self-nominations. we'll be expanding the definitions for this next round to clarify what exactly constitutes vote manipulation versus clever promotion.\n\n\n4. everything else\n\n\nscf exists inside of its own program. that being said, it won't be the last new program from sdf. we are recording feedback. moving forward i'd like to keep the conversation in the scf channels focused on scf - ways to improve it moving forward and especially on project feedback and discussion. i'd also like to see less instigating and gatekeeping. i believe everyone should have a voice and have the ability to have their project seen. please refrain from attacking each other. kolten and i are always happy to talk about the community fund and are eager to hear your perspectives. we greatly appreciate the feedback and suggestions we've heard so far. we'd love to hear any additional criteria that the community thinks should be included for proposals as well.\n\n\njust remember, this is the first of many rounds and eventually it should run smoothly, on-rails without the friction of this \"beta\" round. i have seen a lot of interesting and unique proposals and i'm eager to see how these projects grow over time with participants sharing in the spirit of community collaboration.\n\n",

7e0586770abbab7800a8ac5b9a1a3b96 | hello all, i'm looking for some feedback on a non-technical project on the stellar network, and even though i'm not submitting it to the stellar community fund (scf), token projects aren't allowed i believe, i figured i would put the information in that format to make it easier to read.
**project title:** xh5 life token
**summary**: a not-for-profit charity that i can run from my smartphone, from anywhere in the world, which helps me to stay on track towards my goal of being a more prolific writer, by building an economically incentivized social network.
**goals**: to add value to the xh5 token by both limiting supply over time and contributing a portion of my income from book sales for a token buyback program. the value of the xh5 token is derived from the assets held in the life token account, and each token represents an equal portion of that value.
monthly reports are released which cover the progress of the project, including token burns, account growth and buyback purchases, as well as information about upcoming book releases whose revenue will fund the xh5 account.
**description**: this is a long-term project for which i have a road map, that i call a trail guide, for the next year and a half. i currently write books under two names; cleanshave, which covers stories from my life as a long-distance hiker, and eve shaclan, under which i write cozy mysteries. the links to the amazon profiles can be found below, and a portion of the revenue from book sales will go towards xlm purchases to fund the account. once assets have been added to the xh5 account they cannot be removed except for asset purchases and the token buyback program.
the cozy mystery series i am currently writing involves the adoption of the stellar network as a central part of the main character's story.
eventually, i would like to be able to donate the xh5 token to people or projects that inspire me, for them to hold or to liquidate at a time of their choosing. i would also like to build in an executor for the account so that upon my death the account would be liquidated and all outstanding life tokens would be repurchased for the value of the account that i have managed to build over the course of my life.
if you want to know more please read the xh5 grey paper. and thanks for your interest, i look forward to any feedback.

ec2e385dfbec21171e5be0aaee57d455 | galactic vision is a space themed web application that serves as a 3d explorer for the stellar network. the goal of the project is to give the average stellar enthusiast a resource to better understand what is happening on the stellar network. since the stellar network has a heavy emphasis on asset transfer, i wanted to create a way that shows this activity that is both entertaining and informative. standard stellar explorers revolve around displaying plain text about transaction data, which can often be hard to make sense of.
this first release will focus on live data and representing the most important and easy to understand information. the presentation and ease of use for the stellar community will be prioritized before more complex information is considered. the current release supports desktop browsers. mobile layout may be implemented in a later release.
the project is split into two areas, stellar explorer (visualization of stellar horizon data) and quorum explorer (visualization of stellar core data).
**stellar explorer**
--------------------

stellar explorer represents live data about user activity 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 most popular cryptos are colour coded (click the ? icon to view this legend). the particles travel to the space station to be processed, then are directed to the destination planet to finish the operation.

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. there will also be a transaction view to replay any transaction animation and view additional data.

**quorum explorer**
-------------------

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. credit to stellarbeat.io for the data.
there are three ways to navigate to nodes. you can either use the side bar navigation on the left, click the pins the globe, or use the node info sidebar on the right to travel to related nodes.
**end goal**
------------
this will be an ongoing project that is constantly maintained and upgraded with new features. the vision of the project is to make a complete 3d hub that covers all areas of activity on the network. the popularity of projects such as the iota tangle visualizer show that interactive visualizations are one of the most effective ways to inform members of the community about the activity on the network. being able to screenshot images of network activity and share them on platforms such as reddit is a useful way to generate discussion and raise awareness.
**coming soon**
-ui improvements (more readable text to describe operations, cleaner navigation)
-more node information
-more account statistics
-account search (view your own accounts planet!) [x]
-planetary quorum explorer [x]
-space station upgrade
-tutorial/instructions page [x]
**in the future**
-transaction view (replays asset transfer animation between two planets)
-exchange activity view (same concept as the base view, but isolated to an exchange)
-asset activity view
-unique planet generation for each account
-quorum history and statistics (that make sense at face value)
-walkthroughs/tutorials on network functionality (explain how the network works with an interactive scene)
the project is still relatively early in development and more features will become available as stellar horizon & core apis are further developed. the horizon api still has a lot of work to be done for trades related commands. the initial launch of this app includes a manually created trades stream until it is implemented officially. i will also be looking for feedback on how to improve current features as well as new features to be implemented. if you have any requests on features to be included in this app, please request them in this thread and they will be considered! thanks.

f334a9f3c692ff9de847c2d7abab8f24 | why isn't stellar doing anything about establishing anchors. we need more anchors on the network but there just aren't any entrepreneurs willing to take on the task because the incentives are low. they offered grants through the partnership program but then took it away. i'm ready to establish 10-20 anchors for the most transacted currencies but now can't do so because of lack of grants. i have my team in place ready to go to make this happen, we just lack the funding.

***-submitted as part of the galactic talk content creators challenge-***
*author's note: this is more of a recollection of steps that i took to get my own lumens, than a fully complete comprehensive guide. however this method works for me - so i see no reason for it to not work for you. happy reading!*
### **converting fiat to btc**
getting your hands on btc is relatively easy if you know where to go.
i buy my bitcoin through an australian service called coinjar - which was easy to setup, verify and exchange. i highly recommend it if you reside in australia or have an australian bank account. coinjar is not only an exchange - it is also a good online wallet.
if you live elsewhere this is an [awesome list](https://www.weusecoins.com/en/how-buy-bitcoins-online-best-bitcoin-exchange-rate-bitcoin-price/) to get you on the right track. obviously, i cannot review each one - but my best advice is to do plenty of background research, read other's reviews and use common sense.
### **converting btc to xlm.**
i found that the most convenient way for me to get xlm was to set up a bittrex account. an alternative to bittrex is poloniex which is also a popular choice. bittrex is a cryptocurrency exchange based in the usa - but it will work just fine anywhere around the globe as long as you're trading non-fiat only (which we are in this guide). (*that being said, they do have some restricted areas of use and other rules - check their t&cs.*)
once you've traded you'll want to send your xlm out of your bittrex wallet - to your cold or hot wallet asap. this will ensure that *your money* is in *your hands*.
### **storing your xlm securely.**
#### *cold wallet*
a cold wallet is a wallet that is meant to be as secure as possible and not for day-to-day transaction funds.
there are multiple ways to set one up but these are the steps i personally took to setup my cold wallet.
> 1. download the latest version of this [wallet](https://github.com/stellarchat/desktop-client/releases), appropriate for your os.
> 2. extract from the .zip file and open the program.
> 3. click 'create a new account', then 'create empty account'. select a location for the *wallet.txt* file to be stored.
> 4. set a secure password, that will act as the key to un-encrypt the *wallet.txt* file - which stores your public and private key.
> 5. follow the instruction to finish making your wallet
> 6. backup your *wallet.txt* file to secure locations.
>
#### *hot wallet*
hot wallets are good for day-to-day transactions and are usually based on the web. this [website](lumenwallet.com), has a nifty collection of hot wallets w/ short descriptions.
the only hot wallet i have tried is *lobstr.co*. i cannot really give it a solid review as i still haven't used it properly, but from what i have seen it seems like a good wallet with ios and android support. it gives you 25 free lumens - which is 5 xlm over the minimum amount to have to be included on the stellar blockchain.
unfortunately, there are not a lot of reviews of these wallets yet - so my number one advice for storing xlm in a hot wallet right now is - be careful. never store more than you can afford to lose in a hot wallet as they are mostly web based.

2478ed579e25b78e6aceb73e11a7a029 | 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 “submission template” section be sure and leave the “before 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 “participant eligibility” updates:
1. you may only win scf a maximum of once per year (block of 4 rounds). while you can resubmit ‘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. ‘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.
### the submission phase
during this phase, participants submit their proposals to [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.
### 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 | [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 ‘developer’ category. if your project is built on stellar—or is a tool that supports developing on stellar—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.
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: 1200x630 image preview of your project or brand
title: the name of your project. (please adhere to the stellar [brand policy](https://www.stellar.org/brand-policy))
summary: a simple sentence summarizing the why of your project
category: choose one the three categories (applications, tools & infrastructure | resources & content | events & programs)
goals: what your project plans to accomplish broken down by objectives
description: the description should answer questions like “what does your project enable users to do?” “why is your project valuable for stellar?” and “how does your project use stellar?” it should also cover what platforms the project supports (ex; windows, chrome, etc.) and relevant documentation. this section should be very detailed.
links: 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: tag your project. examples can be “sdk, javascript, party, game, book, event, etc.”
voting
------
voting will take place in two rounds. a nomination round and an award round.
voting takes place on [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 ‘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.
‘losing’ proposals may re-enter twice per year, pending there are improvements to the entry.
current [ecosystem infrastructure grant](https://www.stellar.org/foundation/mandate#ecosystem-support) 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 ‘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. don’t ask for votes. 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. 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. 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, [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.

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 xlms](https://ai-fi.net/bounty.html): ai-fi has several novel designs that make the privacy protection \"provably strong\" and highly user friendly, which is absolutely necessary if we want to reach popular adoption. we have lifted the krypton token feature out of the package and turned it into a bounty program to evangelize its power and reliability.\n\n\n[github](https://github.com/mingtai101/krypton-web): this is a place holder for now. only the code related to the bug bounty has been published. we will add the rest of the system

"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",

"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, that would be a great fit for the scf in my estimation.\n\n\nyou can also always reach me on keybase `tyvdh` or via email `[email protected]`. happy to chat.\n\n",

**interstellar™** - wallet and exchange
summary:
--------
a powerful, feature rich and multi-platform non-custodial wallet and exchange app built on stellar and serving hundreds of thousands of stellar users since 2017.
category:
---------
applications, tools & infrastructure
goals:
------
to continue to build the most inclusive and diverse wallet, exchange and defi app serving the amazing stellar ecosystem, especially in emerging markets where financial inclusion is a major challenge.
description:
------------
the interstellar platform is a 3-year-old non-custodial wallet and exchange, an asset issuer (6 top assets), a tool (multisigplus coordinator) and a service provider (kycplus, fiatanchor.io and cryptoanchor.io) all built on stellar.
our current release is version 4.0 and we will be releasing our latest and greatest version 4.5 in a few weeks, built on the latest stellar core 13.x and stellar horizon 1.x. the interstellar app also had a dedicated testnet version over the last 3 years.
**interstellar versions release timeline**
* version 1.0 - [big bang](https://bit.ly/2yfzhrz) - september 2017
* version 2.0 - [proxima centauri](https://bit.ly/3hpg0se) - may 2018
* version 3.0 - [sirius](https://bit.ly/2y4yybq) - september 2018
* version 3.5 - [pathfinder](https://bit.ly/3hvqqqn) - december 2018
* version 3.6 - [vega](https://bit.ly/3e5rmwl) - march 2019
* version 4.0 - [voyager](https://bit.ly/3ft47zl) - november 2019
* version 4.5 - (*supernova*) – *coming soon*, july 2020
we will dive deeper into our description with a bit of history so you can better understand what our project has been doing for the last 3 years and why interstellar is valuable for stellar.
the interstellar app has its humble beginnings in the spring of 2017 in a country in central africa called cameroon (**trivia:** we have some of the best soccer players in the world). we've been involved with blockchain technology since 2010 and we were early adopters of projects such as bitcoin, peercoin, feathercoin, litecoin, ethereum, ripple and darkcoin (dash). however, it was only with the arrival of stellar that we saw the potential for blockchain/dlt to truly address many of the financial inclusion challenges faced in cameroon and other developing nations, especially in africa. it did not take us long to realise that stellar was an equalizer, and after many months of reading, research, and planning, we decided to build on stellar.
we would also like to preface this submission by stating that in the past some users have confused us with inter/stellar, the company created from the merger between lightyear and chain in september 2018. our interstellar which was launched **before** in 2017 is not in any way affiliated with inter/stellar. the only thing we have in common is the passion to build kickass apps and services for the advancement of the stellar ecosystem.
when we first introduced our interstellar app to the stellar community on october 24th, 2017, we only had a web app and a few hundred users (<https://galactictalk.org/d/501-introducing-interstellar>). our app was well received by the community which motivated us to apply for our first stellar build challenge (sbc5). we were among the winners selected for sbc5 and because of this recognition by the sdf and the larger ecosystem, we committed ourselves to help the stellar ecosystem grow globally.
we received 410,345 xlm as our award. (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, **“why 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.

**who we serve**
in addition to our hundreds of thousands of users, there are many successful projects on stellar that 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'être 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 *à 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.

### intro & summary
the opensolar project and platform leverages the stellar ecosystem to host lot-driven smart contracts for disintermediation and contractual automation in financial processes. it hosts a three-sided marketplace (investors, developers and recipients) to drive deployment of community-owned solar energy projects.
over the last two years, we have been developing the open source platform to streamline the flow of securitized crowd-investment funds (eg. bonds and equity) to finance the deployment of solar assets , and allow the end-users to own these resources through regular utility-like payments, driven by energy generation and consumption data retrieved from iot sensors. we built the architecture so as to extend applications beyond solar to include other sdg critical infrastructure such as water purification, sanitation, and internet connectivity.
the opensolar project was initially incubated at yale and mit by a group of engineers after hurricane irma and maria devastated the electricity grid of puerto rico and its surrounding caribbean islands. the project’s model received significant traction, deployed high impact pilots in the island and span off as an independent nonprofit project and organization. we are now creating partnerships with programs at the united nations to roll-out pilots in asia-pacific. for this, we will need to scale software efforts and new features— which is what this grant will support.
### category
applications, tools & infrastructure
### goals
opensolar’s goals are to:
1. remove investment frictions to provide a reliable, green and affordable source of energy to regions having limited energy options
2. demonstrate the efficiencies, improved energy security and broader social gains to be extracted from the automation afforded by iot devices, smart contracts and digital currencies
3. investigate the effectiveness of the stellar blockchain for decentralised and securitized crowd investments
4. provide a stable source of income and financial sovereignty for marginalised regions and groups through solar energy and digital technology.
### problem statement & project motivation
#### financial frictions preventing a sustainable energy transition
by 2050, the world needs to achieve a net-zero carbon emission state. the transition to renewable energy is accelerating, but is still not on pace to meet this global target. solar energy is now affordable and increasingly accepted as a viable alternative to legacy energy systems. it's also a solid generator of jobs.

there are many options for financing solar energy around the world. however, the underlying contractual frameworks to finance renewable energy are not fit for the purpose of a radical mobilization of capital to achieve global sdg goals. most long-term power purchase agreements (ppa), lease-to-own models and procedures to capture tax benefits and green attribute credits are cumbersome and require economies of scale to be affordable. the result leave the needed decentralized community projects will little access to capital.
furthermore, the industry lacks a common platform and standard to seamlessly integrate a full array of investors— overseas, institutional, public and private— with beneficiaries using accessible debt and equity securities.
below are the specific impact investing frictions that open solar directly addresses:

#### towards a just financing model of critical infrastructure for communities
investors should be able to finance solar photovoltaic systems around the world using a seamless and low-cost cross-border payment network. multiple project finance and blended capital features should be used to de-risk investments and certify the social and environmental value of projects. end-users (or 'receivers') should receive the solar systems with no down payment, pay for the energy per kwh just like they do with the current utility, but once they pay off the cost of the system plus a low interest (i.e. a return to investors), they would fully and legally own the system (zero energy cost thereafter). this is the model we believe we can democratize and roll-out at low-cost through full digitization and automations. this blueprint has motivated the development of opensolar and its use of stellar’s functionalities.
### solution summary: the opensolar platform
opensolar enables accredited and non-accredited impact investors to invest in green energy projects, and helps offset their carbon emissions. with a kickstarter-like interface, users can navigate through projects they like, choose the project they are interested in, and invest upwards of $5 in any project instantaneously. we designed the platform to be compatible with securitized investments so that, with the right approvals, investors can acquire equity or bonds from projects structured as security issuers.
through opensolar, people can publicly advertise investable solar projects at different stages of development, and leverage the power of decentralised funding to make a positive impact on earth. in addition, projects can create and offer renewable energy certificates (recs), which they can use to offset their emissions or sell on a marketplace to others wanting to offset carbon emissions.
opensolar also provides solar developers and contractors with a central platform they can solicit projects from. all legal contracts for projects are turned to digital templates, such as those associated with security issuance, power-purchase agreements, blended finance insurance and installation process. these are handled from within the platform and stored on ipfs, a decentralised database. as a result, opensolar avoids and automates costly legal processes when doing robust financing of solar devices. we wish to democratize sophisticated project finance deals so that marginalized communities around the world can benefit from their investment structures.
#### technical walkthrough
opensolar is built on openx, a broader "platform of platforms" architecture we developed for generic project investments using stellar. opensolar’s web interface is built using react.js and a pilot version of opensolar is up at <https://www.openx.solar>. opensolar’s backend api and smart contract is written using go.
openx is a modular framework that can be used to build platforms seeking stellar investments in different projects. openx possesses handlers for cryptocurrency operations, kyc verification, buying and selling stablecoins, and more. openx is built on stellar, and currently supports complyadvantage and anchorusd for the above mentioned operations, and is looking to add more partners.
opensolar uses stellar smart contracts and has various entities like investors, recipients, developers, and more performing different roles on the platform. these entities interact with the stellar blockchain through the react.js web interface. the platform makes extensive use of stellar assets for investment confirmation, for debt tracking, and to potentially enable secondary markets where people can trade debts and investments.
the web interface performs its interactions with the backend through json-rpc apis. entities on opensolar can also choose to interact with the backend directly, and a detailed list of supported endpoints is available at <https://apidocs.openx.solar/>.
opensolar currently supports anchorusd as a dollar anchor in the us. users are required to perform kyc on anchorusd.com in order to transact and invest using anchorusd. anchorusd purchases and withdrawals are processed on <https://www.anchorusd.com>.
#### iot-to-smart contract integration for financial automation

a piece of software called the “teller” is installed on the iot device, which is responsible for transmitting energy production data to the opensolar platform. energy payment transactions occur between the electricity end-users (recipient) and the escrow smart contract that accrues funds, pays back investors and coordinate payments flow (i.e. the central circle in the diagram) . once the accrued funds can cover the original principle, the contracts pays off investors and the bonds or security issuance matures.
### how opensolar uses stellar
1. opensolar uses stellar to provide almost-instant project investments, faster than fiat processing on any crowdfunding (eg. kickstarter) or crowdinvestment platform (eg. startengine).
2. opensolar works with stablecoin providers like anchorusd to enable usd payments for listed projects, and plans to work with other anchors in the future.
3. opensolar uses stellar assets to tokenize investments and debts, and makes use of trust limits, flags and multisig.
### benefits of opensolar to the stellar network
1. opensolar spreads adoption of stellar by familiarising a huge market of climate conscious, non crypto native audience with stellar and its concrete functionalities for the finance world.
2. opensolar works closely with anchors to enable fiat payments, and helps improve their revenue streams and overall market liquidity.
3. opensolar partners with the united nations bodies and leading climate change organisations around the world to both integrate carbon and climate accounting procedures, as well as roll out high impact real-world pilots.
4. opensolar will run its own validator and horizon instance once it transitions from the pilot stage.
### project status
opensolar has deployed two pilots (jan ‘20 and oct ‘18) in puerto rico, with one on standby to deploy real funds, pursuant to sec and legal authorization. the pilot is live at <https://www.openx.solar>
### timeline

each scf round consists of 4 phases.
**the submission phase:**
during this phase, participants submit their proposals to 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.
**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 will last 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 | [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 ‘developer’ category. if your project is built on stellar—or is a tool that supports developing on stellar—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.
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
please copy this template below and replace the text after the colons with your content. **this is critically important** as it allows us to regex off the template to display prettier and more detailed project previews on the voting site and in promotional material. break this template and we may disqualify your proposal.
**image header:** 1200x630 image preview of your project or project brand (keep margins in mind).
**project title:** the name of your project. please adhere to the stellar brand policy.
**summary:** a simple sentence summary of your project.
**category:** choose one the three categories (applications, tools, infrastructure | resources & content | events & programs)
**goals:** what your project plans to accomplish broken down by objectives.
**timeline:** how and when you will accomplish your goals.
**description:** the description should answer questions like “what does your project enable users to do?” “why is your project valuable for stellar?” and “wow does your project use stellar?” it should also cover what platforms the project supports (ex; windows, chrome, etc.) and relevant documentation. this section should be very detailed.
**links:** 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:** tag your project. examples can be “sdk, javascript, party, game, book”
### voting
voting will take place in two rounds. a nomination round and award round.
voting takes place on <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.
winning entries will not be eligible for future rounds.
you may only win scf a maximum of twice per year (block of 4 rounds). while you can resubmit ‘losing’ proposals, individuals who submit new proposals after winning 2 scf challenges within the current year will be disqualified from consideration for the award.
current [ecosystem infrastructure grant](https://www.stellar.org/foundation/mandate#ecosystem-support) recipients are not eligible to participate in scf.
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 ‘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. don’t ask for votes. 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 people, or attempt to "game" the system in any way. people should upvote things 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. 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, [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.

"text": "[torkus](https://galactictalk.org/d/2294/39) as you seem to be reasonable here i'm going to respond in kind as i think this discussion is worth having and may help guide further improvements and clarifications around the scf.\n\n\n**important technical details aren’t outlined.** \n\ni actually agree with you here, there is subjectivity in the evaluation, however it isn't a minor point particularly in areas which have been problem areas for entries in the past. key storage and management is an area ripe for scams and mismanagement particularly when dealing with solo entrepreneurs. it's a trigger area for us and while i agree it can seem subjective we will require more details, demos and likely code available for review when submitting projects of this nature. remember entries set patterns so while one entry may be fine due to underlying, unseen factors if that’s not obvious you set a pattern for bad actors to come in next round. you're absolutely right to think that there's a time for the community to pitch in but there's also a responsibility we have to guard the community from potentially dangerous or mismanaged projects. your job is to prove the value and security and never assume your history or promises are enough. i've made that mistake before personally and been disqualified. it's unfortunate in the moment but in the long term i get it and support it as it puts me in the community's shoes not necessarily knowing me or my history nor having the time to deep dive mine and 30+ other projects. assume nothing, prove the value and security every time.\n\n\n**for technical projects the scf should be viewed as a grant for completed work not for promised work, particularly if you’ve abandoned previous scf entries.** \n\nagain you are right that projects are abandoned for many reasons however there is a fundamental misunderstanding here of the purpose of the scf in your statements. the scf grant is primarily an opportunity for the community to partner with developers and content creators not the other way around. it's putting funds in the hands of the community at large to distribute to those projects and initiatives which they find value in. the assumption is that the projects which receive support don't immediately cease development, that the developers aren't in a mindset of money grabbing with another latest and greatest flashy new toy each round.\n\n\nyou've built a ton of stuff, like actually so many things, and that's amazing! so many of your projects seem that they could be great, could take off, but it would appear you're unable or unwilling to push them forward, and that's absolutely fine. if there's no business or no desire for you to pursue a business in them you have no requirement to do so. however that attitude and pattern isn't one the scf is designed to support. the community is voting for your entry, your project, your event or service, not you. you are involved in your project and loyal developers are often our biggest winners in the scf but if after winning, those projects the community voted for in hopes of delivered promises go nowhere and disappear we cannot continue to support that as a long term pattern. money is a problem, business is hard, but that's not a problem unique to stellar and in fact there are for-profit businesses running on stellar right now without any involvement or payment from the sdf. there are also so many other means of fundraising out there, especially these days, i would strongly suggest projects looking for early stage or ongoing support default to looking outside the sdf for funding.\n\n",

"text": "[tyvdh](https://galactictalk.org/d/2294/40)\n\n\nso you don't want me to participate anymore? that's fine. does jed know about that? because the scf is not for funding projects, it is for growing the ecosystem, and that includes sharing ideas with fellow developers to further expand the reach of stellar in the hands of more people and that's what i've been doing since i started working on stellar, all my projects have been copied/extended/inspired by others and that's a good sign because that further increases awareness. i, personally, don't have ceo skills, my job is to program, to develop ideas that can be of high interest for the community, just like you when you brought to us graphql as an excellent idea but someone else took the prize from your hands by further developing your initial idea. how did that feel? not good for you but very good for the ecosystem, people got inspired and they finished something of utmost importance for all. my swift sdk inspired others and someone won the prize and even inspired a kotlin sdk for android, my paywithstellar tool inspired others that adapted it to wordpress and shopify, my starboard project was copied line by line (now modified) to build the very own stellar network analisys tool, no credits required since i gain satisfaction from my projects inspiring others. when i started galtex, i was the first to offer crypto, forex, stocks, commodities, all in one exchange, a world changing idea that had to be shut down or face jail time.\n\n\nso yes, i know everybody here piles up against my submissions because i've won many times and i haven't continued development on any of them, some trolls even called me \"milking the community\". now take for example paysapp, a billion dollar idea that needs millions of dollars to comply with all the laws and regulations, that can be a total pain to implement due to all the hurdles that messaging platforms require in order to meet their terms of services or get banned. do you think ten thousand dollars would be enough to lift that project up? there are only two options, one, comply and raise millions, and two, go underground and shut off whatsapp, twitter, and all messaging platforms reducing the posibility for virality and multi-app communication losing its appeal.\n\n\nno, this field is not easy, it is a minefield full of booby traps, a thousand projects will fail and only a handful will survive, even facebook with their libra project understands all the risks and legal/political mountains they must climb but at least they have the resources, and you can not expect all thousand dead-end projects built on stellar to continue development without proven monetization plans or even law compliance. does that disqualify me? then let me know not to waste my time or yours anymore.\n\n\nand remember, stellar has money allocated for development, that money should be used to expand the ecosystem no matter what, and that's what i've been doing since day one, my day one in november 2017 once i learned about this awesome project, not awesome anymore i guess. and no, i don't want special treatment, i took my disqualification with pride and will work hard for the next scf only if you all stop looking at us developers as \"community milkers\" and change your attitude against us. there are tons of scammers and shitty projects on every round even in this one, so open your eyes and learn to differentiate those who provide value from those who don't.\n\n\nthanks for the good times. a great learning experience.\n\n",

### summary:
a reporting system for the stellar community to report scams, crime and fraudulent acts being committed on the stellar network or its participants. information will be verified and echoed across the stellar community via multiple communication channels in order to ensure future prevention of said crime. educational material will then be created to educate the stellar community and its participants in order to prevent future crimes of similar caliber. intelligent software and bots will be developed in order to assist our activities.
**stellarscam[dot]report helps others recognize scams and avoid them.**
### category: resources & content
### goals:
goals are split into 4 different sections, but they all complement each other at the same time: website functionality, educational content, bots (these are information-relay bots), and community orientated security discussion groups. for the purpose of this proposal and our poc, we have omitted goal sections: investigation services, smart bot detection, and scam alert initiatives. they will be discussed at a later date.
**website functionality:**
* [x] - a secure basic webpage for anyone to report
* [] - statistics page (shows active, reported and unactive scams)
* [] - report follow-up page (for individuals to see the results of their report or if further information is required)
* [] - archives page (shows all types of scams committed since genesis and/or data that can retrieved up to the present time)
**educational content:**
* [x] - 3 minute tips page for quick and efficient education (meant for community members to share and for new-comers to read)
* [x] - definitions page (on front page)
* [] - 10 minute tips page (more detailed than the 3 minute)
* [] - "define stellar scams": a blog that documents every type of scam (example: airdrop impersonation with fake account viewers is one blog article; email-spoofing impersonation etc)
* [] - monthly security review article blogs every month with statistics (highlights anything new that differed from previous month)
* [] - [to be updated]
**bots (relay information):**
* [] - social media bots
**community orientated security discussion groups:**
[] - have weekly discussion groups with the community (on reddit and keybase) in order to discuss security standards and guidelines within the stellar network.
### description:
before i start, i would like the community to know that others in the past have done this before (calling out scammers). i want to give my sincere gratitude to those specific people who try to look out for the community. i would like to collaborate with like-minded people so please stay tuned for the future as i unravel methods community members can take together to combat crime on the stellar network!
being in the community myself i have called out a handful of scams and have gone as far as to prevent a fraudulent event from happening to the community by blowing the horn before it happens.
none of this was done for the motivation of money or fame and was purely meant to prevent harmful acts on the community. however, the task to continue turned out to be difficult as the scammers themselves kept repeating and multiplying, adding onto the fact of my personal issues and life itself, i was forced to stop doing what i enjoyed (stopping bad actors!). i am now back hoping to jump-start a long-awaited project and to work with other like-minded individuals who want to shut these scammers down for good!
now is the time more than ever to educate everyone and all new-comers on the security guidelines they should be taking. whether you know them or not, it's wise to know that scammers are getting smarter everyday and constantly attacking new-comers who are trying to join our community. it's time to change this for good.
**why use our project?:**
to report scams. as it currently stands, our reports are all done manually. our response time is anywhere from 6 to 10 hours. with the community's support and funding we hope to become an active force that is live 24/7/365 with response times as short as 5 minutes. when our bots are fully programmed and tweaked for production, this will help us even further with our operations and our future goals.
**who should use our project?:**
anyone who sees a fraudulent act on the stellar network.

"text": "[titor](https://galactictalk.org/d/2442/5) thank you for your question, titor.\n\n\ntruth be told, there are countless of portals out there right now doing exactly what i will be doing. thousands of content and educational material that will help prevent future crime can be found across billions of google search results.\n\n\nwhy is fraud still being committed today? there's millions of content out there in order to educate people to be vigilant, yet crimes still happen.\n\n\nwhy am i doing this when there's already all that work already done? well for over 2 years of moderating this community i have noticed that when it comes to safety and security, it's kind of a one-way street with how people think they are secure. they either believe they won't be scammed because they know of some tips and guidelines, or they they truly believe someone will be able to fix their mistake if they ever make one.\n\n\nthis misconception is as real as it gets in the real world, as the only true way to protect yourself is you. adding onto the fact that crypto-currency is new, not many people know it and the educational curve on crypto itself is quite steep for some people.\n\n\nas you and everyone in the community are on the front-line of the stellar network, we are all defenders of the community. each of us has an obligation to protect each other, and by doing that we must first protect ourselves. it's all a chain-effect. similarly, when a scam appears, you can see this in live action with community members sticking out for each other.\n\n\nthis project is made to do specifically just that:\n\n\n* marketing marketing marketing! we will be doing a marketing campaign that literally just educates people on simple tips. it's not as easy as telling people to stay vigilant, sometimes you need to do marketing campaigns or games so others can learn, have fun and share their knowledge they learned. i believe marketing to new-comers is a priority for stellarscam.report and it's one of our main goals for this proposal.\n* become a beacon of verification for others to verify scams between official links (usually this is a one-time event where they educate themselves on security guidelines; always good to refresh some memories as well!)\n* act as a type of 'shrill alarm' where community members can report crime happening on the stellar network; i will be adding community members to a task force group which will have privilege to go on our website and verify scams or not which will then be echo'd across multiple social media bots to spread the warning further\n* tackle scams head-on as it is happening\n* report the crime to other entities in the community, other watchdogs, and justice enforcement agencies in their respective countries\n* and much much more\n\n\ni could keep writing but realistically i have to keep coding in order to make this project worthy of anything that the community can use.\n\n\n**scf funding** is essential to support the project's future, financially. as it stands, the frontend of this project is not past its prototype stage and i have been working on multiple backend software that will help me challenge and stop scams that appear. it is an experimental phase and i will go into detail with the community in a future blog post with my results.\n\n\nwhether this project becomes what i want it to be, or someone else makes something better, or other community members group up with me so we can make something even bigger, the end goal is to protect the community and educate them the instant they join. the reason for this is there are scammers who joined crypto-communities and they are specifically targeting new one as they join.\n\n\nthis is not only a crime, it's disgusting and has no use in our space. i want to stop this for good. these are sophisticated scams that have been built by someone who has been in the space for over 4 years. whether our portal educates newcomers and the community more than other portals, the point is this crime will not stop and the only true way to prevent this is to educate the community, continuously, and on new tactics criminals are using. which is why i am trying to commit more time on educational content and hoping this will be finished before nominations phase, in which case i can continue on other backend material (bots).\n\n\nfor over 2 months i have been implementing certain bots but have already come across hardware constraints. aside from my hardware constraints, the ability to fully commit to being a watchguard for the stellar network requires man power. even the sdf members who spend their time to protect the community have to spend their own time in their day that could otherwise be spent in other ways. as a moderator for over 2 years in multiple community channels, i have to say it would be quite worth to have a fully-automated security watchbot overlooking the entire stellar network and its community, that's also available for any community member to use. i would even go as far as that our project won't be the only one (we hope), and others in different industries and fields will join together to make a bigger security apparatus for the stellar network, and the extended traditional financial system. there are very talented developers in this space and so all we need is a good collab team to get things rolling. i hope to create discussion groups soon so people can brainstorm security guidelines, not just for themselves and their services but for the entirety of the community.\n\n\nsetting up a donation box will be on our to-do list but as it stands we are hoping for a size-able investment from the community to guarantee our operations for the future. i have estimated that an scf funding of 100,000 xlm would secure our operations for the next 14 months. anything more will be escrowed for future operations and/or to hire talent.\n\n\nthis project is in for the long haul, so whether we win this scf or not, we will still be doing what we are doing. scf funding will just help us reach our goals quicker and guarantee our operations for over a full year. i hope to unveil more content and features to the website that will show our worth.\n\n\nthank you for reading.\n\n\n",

### **advantages of a lumink**
**currency converter with 170 national currencies**
you can generate links in any currency without worrying about xlm price fluctuation because the conversion to xlm happens right before the payment is made.
**pleasing user experience**
lumink is based on a beautiful ui and creates a pleasing payment experience.
we've also created a qr code feature that generates a qr code containing the amount and address. this feature makes it easier for mobile users to make payments.
**no processing limits**
you can send the payment link to as many people as you want. a link can handle hundreds of thousands of links since we make the transactions unique using data.
### **how to use lumink?**
log on to lumink and enter your information (amount, currency, and address) to create your payment link.
then click ‘create’ to generate your payment link.

congratulations! you have just created a payment link you can share with anyone.

once you share the link with someone, they can log on and pay the requested amount. after making the payment, the user will receive a success message.

each payment is associated with an identifier string that starts with a p. the identifier can be used to track payment status. all you have to do is log on to the check status page and enter your payment id.

### **whose account are the funds transferred to?**
all the funds will be transferred to the address you provide when creating the link.
this is an initial version of lumink (an mvp). we have an update coming up in three weeks (around july 10th) which will include fixing the bugs you reported and adding dashboard sections to the to see payment links generated from an address as well as payments made by that address.

bbe30c427b2533600f0833c0c6e69c6e | 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.

summary
-------
cosmic.vote implements the first building blocks for decentralized organizations on stellar: majority judgment and passive contracts. majority judgment is a robust voting system that is suitable for achieving both community and automated consensus. a passive contract is a mechanism that achieves trustless turing-complete computations under specific conditions. cosmic.vote provides an open-source implementation of those, as well as three real-world use cases: polls, contests w/ decentralized prize pools, & oracles.

description
-----------
**cosmic.vote is about running votes, prize distributions, and oracles without having to rely on a third-party.** this quality, referred to as "trustless", is fundamental to cryptocurrencies. what has achieved bitcoin? the first digital currency that doesn't require a trusted third-party to exists. what has achieved ethereum? contracts that don't require a trusted third-party to execute. what about defi? same principles.
in cryptocurrency-related development, trustlessness is more than a nice quality to have: it is a requirement. while stellar can't execute arbitrary code as ethereum does, in some cases, it is possible to achieve similar results using alternative mechanisms.
cosmic.vote introduces some of those mechanisms as the firsts building blocks for decentralized organizations on stellar. it shows how those can be combined together to build trustless systems that would normally require turing-complete smart contracts.
**majority judgment** is a voting system first described in 2007 by r. laraki & m. balinski as the least bad solution to [arrows's impossibility theorem](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/arrows-impossibility-theorem.asp#:~:text=arrow%27s%20impossibility%20theorem%20is%20a,principles%20of%20fair%20voting%20procedures.&text=arrow%2c%20is%20also%20known%20as%20the%20general%20impossibility%20theorem.)
this theorem, pivotal in social choice theory, states that it is impossible to create a voting system that is fully resistant to aberrant results. in his work, kenneth arrow went over the many ways voting systems can be (and are) abused. the research that leads to majority judgment capitalized on that work to figure out a system that would, at least, mitigate those issues as much as possible.
what is beautiful about majority judgment is that, despite being the most robust voting system known to that day, it is simple enough to be understood & put in practice by everyone. thus, it is a suitable alternative to traditional voting systems, be it a simple online poll or national elections.
**passive contracts** are a way to build contracts that makes it possible to run complex programs such as voting systems without having to rely on a third-party. the principle is to store the contract parameters on the ledger and to have the clients perform the computations. for a particular family of programs, which is referred to as "fully functional", this facility provably achieves trustless layer 2 contracts.
the limit here is that passive contracts cannot mutate the ledger. in simple words, they can do pretty much everything except sending money.
**operated contracts** are an extension of passive contracts, that are already being used in many systems, but those have the limitation of requiring third-party for settlement. that's why, while possible on stellar, this family of contracts is often left aside as unsuitable. however, under certain conditions, they can be leveraged to achieve a near-optimal level of robustness.

0e63e7c831d063b3ed80ddea0c4fa4a3 | hi all, i'm working on a new ledger explorer which i'm now hosting at <https://steexp.com>
please take a look and let me know what you think.
the source code and issue tracker are at <https://github.com/chatch/stellarexplorer>.
all data is coming from horizon and the raw responses can be viewed by clicking on the json buttons. i've tried to be info complete but i think there is still some stuff missing, on the accounts view there needs to be a couple more tabs. let me know if you'd like to see something that's not there.
i'll look at making it faster next as it's a pretty fat download on first load. though after this it should be cached (thanks to react create-react-app setup). also i might look at changing styles depending on feedback. how's the dark theme?
if anyone wants to add a language see the "help translate" link under the language picker. you just need to add a new json file with translations there.
cheers.

micropayment solutions for content publishers and online gaming companies.
4. tourism and leisure
companies in travel can also leverage our payment api to allow secure, fast, and compliant international payments.
5. tokenization of assets
we also offer tokenization services that can be used for issuing equity or real estate assets.

**technical details**
* the front-end of the platform was built using reactjs and material ui.
* mozartpay restful api has consistent resource-oriented urls, returns json-encoded responses and uses standard http response codes.
* we also offer a javascript sdk for the mozartpay api implementation.
* we use secure cryptographic algorithms to encrypt private data.

**project title:**
liquid mortgage: a digital asset and payments platform for traditional debt markets
**summary:**
liquid mortgage is a digital asset and payments platform. we tokenize a loan at origination or purchase, then capture all borrower payments, trades, and transactions on-chain over the life of the loan. our mission is to increase transparency and efficiency across debt markets while drastically lowering costs for borrowers and loan investors. while we have chosen to start in the u.s. mortgage market, our product applies to any debt product around the world.
**category:**
applications, tools, infrastructure
**goals:**
*customers*: we seek to partner with loan holders (investors) to grow the platform. customers may include banks, asset managers, hedge funds, fintech partners, or other investment vehicles. we are currently onboarding one asset manager and have two additional in the pipeline. in total, these three customers will lead to 50 loans coming onboard over the next three months. our goal is to onboard at least 100 loans by december 2020, with hopes of onboarding closer to 250.
*phases*: during phase i (current phase), we will not be accepting borrower payments directly, but rather mirroring all payments and transactions on-chain. this is due to licensing requirements in all 50 states and is explained more in the timeline/regulatory section below. phase ii will be full integration of borrower payments directly to loan investors. we hope to begin phase ii within 12 months.
*expansion*: our goal is to expand to other debt markets and geographical areas over the medium term (2-4 years). other markets may include: student loans, consumer debt, auto loans, equipment leases, aircraft loans/leases, etc. other geographical areas of interest include: central and south america, europe, and asia.
**timeline:**
*funding*: we are currently in the process of raising a seed round from potential strategic partners, venture capital firms, and other industry players. our goal is to have this complete within the next month or two.
*product*: the product is built and fully functional from ach to stellar integration. we are currently onboarding our first portfolio and this should be completed within the coming weeks. additional product development will occur as needed.
*regulatory*: part of the capital raise is dedicated towards legal expenses. we are required to obtain money transmitter licenses in all states and may require servicing licenses. once capital is raised, this should take 3-6 months.
**description:**
liquid mortgage has set out to better the current infrastructure by making it more transparent, efficient, and cost-effective. this is accomplished in a two-step process.
once a loan is originated or purchased, the loan is onboarded onto the liquid mortgage platform. the entire loan file is uploaded, which then receives a hash to validate its contents on an ongoing basis. all parties are then asked to validate this loan file and agree the information matches original purchase agreements. signatures may include any parties, but particularly the originator, loan investor, and sub-servicer are responsible for sign-off. at this point the loan investor defines which portfolio(s) the loan should be assigned.
when all signatures have been received and validated, a digital asset is created with a unique identifier, lqm00001, for example. let’s assume the loan has a $200,000 balance, so 200,000 tokens relating to that single loan are created. the token issuing account can be locked in order to freeze the maximum amount of token outstanding, which is a good security practice. those tokens are then delivered to an escrow account specifically for the loan, which will then be distributed once the loan is funded. when the loan investor funds the transaction, proceeds go directly to the originator or loan seller and tokens are released to the investor’s portfolio(s) defined previously.
in its simplest form, we have created two items: 1) validation of the loan’s existence by servicer, originator, and loan investor and 2) validation of ownership of the loan tokens (investor portfolio account). this base infrastructure makes possible the second layer of payments and is replicated for a single servicing token belonging to the servicer on record.
on a monthly basis, the borrower logs onto liquid mortgage to make a payment. as the borrower will likely pay in fiat, a bank account is linked. the borrower initializes payment from that account and liquid mortgage searches the blockchain for all loan investors, or token holders, to direct funds.
each loan investor may receive fiat directly or receive a usd credit backed by liquid mortgage. if a usd credit is chosen, borrower funds are transferred to liquid mortgage and usd credit is issued to the loan investor’s portfolio account on the blockchain. this credit may be redeemed at any time for fiat usd. if the investor chooses to receive fiat directly from borrower, the borrower pays loan investor directly and liquid mortgage mirrors the payment on chain. either route, we now have a record of payment on a blockchain from one borrower to all loan (token) holders.
this simple, but effective infrastructure will reinvent entire segments of intermediaries including loan recorders, servicers, clearing houses, prime brokers, and loan data providers to name a few. additionally, this infrastructure allows for the creation of new financial products, structures, and risk profiles not previously feasible.
it is probably obvious to this community, but the stellar ecosystem is at the center of this entire process, from digital asset creation to monthly borrower payment tracking. we chose stellar for the speed and transaction costs since we plan to begin fractionalizing loans in the short-term. one borrower payment may end up going to several loan investors, therefore efficiency and cost are extremely important to the liquid mortgage solution. we believe the product will enhance the ecosystem by bringing all borrowers, loan investors, originators, and servicers onto the platform. given the size of the u.s. mortgage market, this could be significant volume and exposure for the stellar ecosystem.

5de8b53b7443774d1e82bc9a994c5b8d | for this sbc round i’m digging in deep. my original plan was to rebuild colorglyph directly into the stellar mainnet and offer/asset system. however it quickly became clear that for that to actually work well or at all i’d need much better and more powerful access of the stellar databases.
so i fired up a horizon/core docker droplet and started building an api one request at a time.
this went on successfully right up until a wild idea hit me. with all the classes and structure from the postgresql database would it be possible to essentially port right to graphql and not have to fool with all of these specific endpoints.
a little googling and i soon had <https://github.com/postgraphql/postgraphql> installed and delivering a fully featured graphql interface queuing anything and everything in the core and horizon databases.
absolutely amazing.
this will change the game for stellar frontend application development.
the rest of my time will be spent building up a wiki of useful boilerplate graphql queries as well as writing up a detailed tutorial for getting this set up on your own stellar nodes.

> hi there! i have been around the stellar ecosystem helping here and many other places to new users and i decided to create my own wallet which is the one my business is using for its projects. everything related with the wallet is here: [https://xbull.app](https://xbull.app/installation/#building-the-extension?utm_source=galactictalk&utm_medium=websites&utm_campaign=organic)
>
>

***still in alpha stage***
==========================
*this version is still in alpha stage, please be aware of this and use it with precaution. we are still making lots of changes and it's possible that future versions won't be compatible with this one. some features might not work currently but the app is pretty stable.*
*security is a priority but we can't promise it in this early stage, all your private keys are encrypted but please use this wallet with secondary accounts or with test accounts. if you use accounts created by the wallet, please always keep your mnemonic phrases to be able to restore them later.*
*after every update the documentation will be updated with the correct information, once we hit the version *1.0.0* we will separate each version of the documentation.*
---
xbull wallet
============
xbull is a wallet to serve as a bridge between websites/users and the stellar blockchain.
### our goals with xbull are:
* be part of the infrastructure to boots the stellar network adoption.
* offer a curated and flawless user experience.
* be a reference in the stellar blockchain wallets options.
* make the interaction between users and the stellar blockchain easier.
---
**why another extension wallet?**
---------------------------------
we are a software development team, we (and our partners) have specific requests for businesses. instead of telling other extensions that they need to add the features we want, we decided that we will create our own extension and at the same time provide more options to end users... competition is the key to increase the stellar ecosystem.
but even if our wallet is aimed to serve our businesses, we designed it in a way it can be used by anyone so it's most likely that you will never notice that it was built with our projects in mind.
**features**
------------
xbull tries to be an *easy to use* but powerful wallet so you will find lots of features, some of them are:
* generate keypairs from mnemonic phrases or import one (you own the private keys).
* support of multi wallets and different horizon apis.
* trade assets with offers, limits and swaps operations.
* advanced features like manually signing xdrs or generating a chain of operations (similar to the stellar laboratory).
* integrated sdk so sites can talk with the extension.
* encrypted private keys and protection of public key from websites until the user accepts to share it.
we are constantly adding new features, want to know all of them? visit the [docs](https://xbull.app/?utm_source=galactictalk&utm_medium=websites&utm_campaign=organic) and check all this wallet has to offer.
operations handled by the wallet
--------------------------------
the stellar blockchain supports multiple kind of transactions, xbull is designed to handle all of them. at this moment the supported operations are:
* [x] create account
* [x] payment
* [x] path payment strict send
* [x] path payment strict receive
* [x] manage sell offer
* [x] manage buy offer
* [x] create passive sell offer
* [x] set options
* [x] change trust
* [x] allow trust
* [x] account merge
* [x] manage data
* [x] bump sequence
* [ ] create claimable balance
* [ ] claim claimable balance
* [x] begin sponsoring future reserves
* [x] end sponsoring future reserves
* [ ] revoke sponsorship
* [ ] clawback
* [ ] clawback claimable balance
* [x] set trust line flags
xbull "sdk"
===========
our wallet is shipped with an internal "sdk" which helps website owners to interact with the wallet. you can read all the details in the site, the sdk helps you talking with our wallet like this:
**request permissions to the wallet:**
```
const permissions = await xbullsdk.connect({
canrequestpublickey: true,
canrequestsign: true
});
```
**request the public key:**
```
const publickey = await xbullsdk.getpublickey();
```
**request signing a transaction:**
`const signedtransaction = await xbullsdk.signxdr('your xdr here')`
roadmap
=======
you can check the roadmap of the development [here](https://xbull.app/roadmap/?utm_source=galactictalk&utm_medium=websites&utm_campaign=organic) or check in what we are working right [here](https://github.com/creit-tech/xbull-wallet/projects)
faqs
====
if you have any question about the functionality of the wallet, please check our documentation [here](https://xbull.app/?utm_source=galactictalk&utm_medium=websites&utm_campaign=organic) where you can find all the details about our wallet.
source code
===========
xbull wallet is open source and its code is public, you can check it or download it from [here](https://github.com/creit-tech/xbull-wallet/)
how to build it myself?
=======================
xbull wallet is available to use by anyone and it's on the google chrome store once it's version is at least beta (version 0.5.0), but just like everything in the blockchain space, you should always question it.
because of this, xbull wallet is possible to be audited and built by anyone. you can pull the source code and generate the build which you can then import into your browser, that way the extension you don't need to trust the version that is hosted in the google chrome store.
if you want to learn more about this, please read the documentation [here](https://xbull.app/installation/#building-the-extension?utm_source=galactictalk&utm_medium=websites&utm_campaign=organic) where we explain you how to manually do it.
proud from creit tech
=====================
xbull wallet is developed by the creit tech team with the goal of providing a bridge between the stellar blockchain and users/websites. our businesses needed a capable but at the same time easy to use wallet and that's why we created xbull, that way our clients and the community can use a wallet with a friendly ui and powerful features.
we are proud of what we have created and we are excited to create more businesses on top of the stellar blockchain.

### 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.

356a38ab001d6aa1a8babd5a44c5a83c | hi,
i'm working on a stellar-based app. part of our protocol requires us to submit transactions from users accounts. we'd prefer to have users enter their secret keys when their accounts need to submit the transactions. then we wouldn't need to store the secret keys. what would be the best way to securely pass the users secret key between the user, us, and stellar? we need to pass the key over api to our backend. is caching the key on the users device considered secure?
alternatively, would it be considered more secure to have users set up accounts on our application that are associated with stellar accounts that we store the secret keys for?
thanks

we have discussed with the stellar team regarding the submission of two projects. while this did not violate any rules, we understand that there has been some frustration over this matter so we have decided to withdraw this proposal from the competition.
while we are officially withdrawing this proposal from the competition, we would still love to hear your feedback! if there is interest, we will continue to improve this project and submit it next round 🙂
**image header**: 
**project title**: stellar hunter
**summary**: stellar hunter is a web app that enables developers to add bounties (completed through the stellar network) on their github issues, simultaneously driving quality and timely resolution while rewarding the hard-working developers addressing the issues. ultimately, stellar hunter helps bridge gaps within the open-source community by **propelling faster turnaround for issues on github** while helping **support hard-working open-source developers**.
**video demo of bounty creation**: <https://youtu.be/awnqjxbxbg8>
**video demo of rewarding a solution**: <https://youtu.be/8x1drgxpapm>
**category**: applications, tools, infrastructure
**goals**: goals after we receive funding:
completely flesh out the app and add security in the backend
integrate smart contracts in stellar transactions
to attract the initial user base, we will use part of the funding to create some initial bounties in widely used open-source github repositories as well as in stellar related projects.
we will also post media and advertisements about our platform on stellar community pages and group chats across various platforms, including twitter and keybase.
ideally, we would also collaborate with the stellar community and stellar projects within that ecosystem. that should provide some exposure to the existence of these bounties to the stellar community, who follows the stellar open-source development closely.
**timeline**:
* over the next month: create a fully functional poc that is production-ready (work is already in progress as you can see in the video demos). incorporate community feedback.
* over the next month: develop branding for the stellar hunter service. incorporate community feedback.
* after 2 weeks: investigate smart contracts as a (potentially optional) method of decentralized bounties
* after one month: begin bringing users onto the platform by a) creating bounties in popular repositories and b) encouraging project maintainers to add bounties to some open issues. in this stage, funding from the scf would be particularly helpful with hosting costs + as capital to fund these bounties (where the money would go back into the open-source and stellar communities). hopefully, this proves the utility of our service and allows us to battletest the app with actual users.
* after 1.5 months: promote the service through social media channels
* after 1.5 months: pursue business development opportunities with organizations to incorporate stellar hunter
* after 2 months: continue improving and refining the product based on user feedback
* after 2 months: consider new features such as donations/grants. avoid overcomplicating the app as other bounty systems have 😛
**description**:
open-source developers spend a lot of time and effort contributing to the world’s largest digital tools and resources. however, many are not rewarded for their efforts. furthermore, many open issues in these numerous repositories are often ignored or addressed behind schedule. stellar hunter tries to solve both issues by bringing the global open source community on github together through the implementation of bounties.
developers who are stuck on a tough bug or want a new feature in a repository can create an issue on github and create a bounty on stellar hunter. our **github bot** will then post the bounty information on the issue, notifying the creation of the bounty. this will draw the attention of other developers in the github community who will help resolve the issue. this interaction not only provides quality and timely resolutions to issues, but also rewards the solver for their contribution.
stellar hunter uses the stellar network to provide instantaneous transactions through any asset with minimal fees so developers can receive their reward as fast as possible. we also plan on implementing smart contracts in the future to facilitate bounty transactions. this would help make the bounties more secure and better integrate the stellar network.
we facilitate these bounties through our web app, stellar hunter, which provides each user with access to our bounty-hunting service. we use **react** in the front end and **go** on the backend. each user authenticates their github accounts through **sso** in order for us to retrieve all the issues they have requested, as well as pull requests they have submitted addressing issues with bounties.
on the issues side of the web app, users can select an open issue and create a bounty, or they can select a closed issue with a bounty they created and reward the bounty to the proper solution. when creating a bounty, the user has the option of choosing which asset they want to use. since the stellar network supports an unlimited amount of assets, the possibilities are endless. we are currently focusing on usd and xlm. once the user creates the bounty, we will generate a **sep 7 uri** for the user to deposit the bounty into the holding wallet of stellar hunter. the user can choose to withdraw the bounty as long as the github issue remains open. after the issue is closed, our bot will notify the user and they must select a pull request to reward the bounty. we plan on implementing stellar smart contracts in the future in order to eliminate the need to deposit the bounty into a holding account.
on the solutions side of the web app, the user can view all the pull requests they have submitted to address github issues with bounties. if their pull request was chosen to be rewarded, it would show up on the web app for them to claim. all they need to do is enter their stellar public address and the bounty will immediately appear in their account through the stellar network, with minimal fees.
overall, stellar hunter aims to utilize the immense open source community on github to drive faster development on the tools and resources that many of us rely on, and to reward the open-source developers for their hard work. by integrating the stellar network, we provide stellar with **exposure to the entire open source community on github**. developers who seek the rewards (bounty hunt) on stellar hunter must create a stellar wallet in order to claim their bounties. these transactions would no doubt drive growth on the stellar network.

"text": "[tmacshaq](https://galactictalk.org/d/2326/3) thanks for your feedback! yes, more established projects like gitcoin do the same thing, but none of them are built on top of the stellar network. we chose stellar because stellar transactions are simpler and cheaper than those on the ethereum blockchain (which gitcoin is built on). we think that stellar provides a better cross border transaction system that helps cut down fees and overall provides a better experience for users.\n\n\nby building this bounty system on stellar, we hope to redirect bounty traffic from existing projects on the ethereum blockchain to stellar, which would drive more volume in the stellar network. for end-users, they benefit from the much lower transaction fees.\n\n\nwe also found that gitcoin's interface is very complex and isn't extremely focused on the concept of bounties. our solution will be a simple, easy to use service that makes it easy to create bounties on github.\n\n\nanother thing to note is that gitcoin is mainly used for ethereum based projects. we want to expand the implementation of bounties to stellar-related projects and other projects as well. these would be new markets for us to enter that wouldn't clash with gitcoin's own community.\n\n",

### summary:
a reporting system for the stellar community to report scams, crime and fraudulent acts being committed on the stellar network or its participants. information will be verified and echoed across the stellar community via multiple communication channels in order to ensure future prevention of said crime. educational material will then be created to educate the stellar community and its participants in order to prevent future crimes of similar caliber. intelligent software and bots will be developed in order to assist our activities.
**stellarscam[dot]report helps others recognize scams and avoid them.**
### category: resources & content
### goals:
goals are split into 4 different sections, but they all complement each other at the same time: website functionality, educational content, bots (these are information-relay bots), and community orientated security discussion groups. for the purpose of this proposal and our poc, we have omitted goal sections: investigation services, smart bot detection, and scam alert initiatives. they will be discussed at a later date.
**website functionality:**
* [x] - a secure basic webpage for anyone to report
* [] - statistics page (shows active, reported and unactive scams)
* [] - report follow-up page (for individuals to see the results of their report or if further information is required)
* [] - archives page (shows all types of scams committed since genesis and/or data that can retrieved up to the present time)
**educational content:**
* [x] - 3 minute tips page for quick and efficient education (meant for community members to share and for new-comers to read)
* [x] - definitions page (on front page)
* [] - 10 minute tips page (more detailed than the 3 minute)
* [] - "define stellar scams": a blog that documents every type of scam (example: airdrop impersonation with fake account viewers is one blog article; email-spoofing impersonation etc)
* [] - monthly security review article blogs every month with statistics (highlights anything new that differed from previous month)
* [] - [to be updated]
**bots (relay information):**
* [] - social media bots
**community orientated security discussion groups:**
[] - have weekly discussion groups with the community (on reddit and keybase) in order to discuss security standards and guidelines within the stellar network.
### description:
before i start, i would like the community to know that others in the past have done this before (calling out scammers). i want to give my sincere gratitude to those specific people who try to look out for the community. i would like to collaborate with like-minded people so please stay tuned for the future as i unravel methods community members can take together to combat crime on the stellar network!
being in the community myself i have called out a handful of scams and have gone as far as to prevent a fraudulent event from happening to the community by blowing the horn before it happens.
none of this was done for the motivation of money or fame and was purely meant to prevent harmful acts on the community. however, the task to continue turned out to be difficult as the scammers themselves kept repeating and multiplying, adding onto the fact of my personal issues and life itself, i was forced to stop doing what i enjoyed (stopping bad actors!). i am now back hoping to jump-start a long-awaited project and to work with other like-minded individuals who want to shut these scammers down for good!
now is the time more than ever to educate everyone and all new-comers on the security guidelines they should be taking. whether you know them or not, it's wise to know that scammers are getting smarter everyday and constantly attacking new-comers who are trying to join our community. it's time to change this for good.
**why use our project?:**
to report scams. as it currently stands, our reports are all done manually. our response time is anywhere from 6 to 10 hours. with the community's support and funding we hope to become an active force that is live 24/7/365 with response times as short as 5 minutes. when our bots are fully programmed and tweaked for production, this will help us even further with our operations and our future goals.
**who should use our project?:**
anyone who sees a fraudulent act on the stellar network.

"text": "[titor](https://galactictalk.org/d/2442/5) thank you for your question, titor.\n\n\ntruth be told, there are countless of portals out there right now doing exactly what i will be doing. thousands of content and educational material that will help prevent future crime can be found across billions of google search results.\n\n\nwhy is fraud still being committed today? there's millions of content out there in order to educate people to be vigilant, yet crimes still happen.\n\n\nwhy am i doing this when there's already all that work already done? well for over 2 years of moderating this community i have noticed that when it comes to safety and security, it's kind of a one-way street with how people think they are secure. they either believe they won't be scammed because they know of some tips and guidelines, or they they truly believe someone will be able to fix their mistake if they ever make one.\n\n\nthis misconception is as real as it gets in the real world, as the only true way to protect yourself is you. adding onto the fact that crypto-currency is new, not many people know it and the educational curve on crypto itself is quite steep for some people.\n\n\nas you and everyone in the community are on the front-line of the stellar network, we are all defenders of the community. each of us has an obligation to protect each other, and by doing that we must first protect ourselves. it's all a chain-effect. similarly, when a scam appears, you can see this in live action with community members sticking out for each other.\n\n\nthis project is made to do specifically just that:\n\n\n* marketing marketing marketing! we will be doing a marketing campaign that literally just educates people on simple tips. it's not as easy as telling people to stay vigilant, sometimes you need to do marketing campaigns or games so others can learn, have fun and share their knowledge they learned. i believe marketing to new-comers is a priority for stellarscam.report and it's one of our main goals for this proposal.\n* become a beacon of verification for others to verify scams between official links (usually this is a one-time event where they educate themselves on security guidelines; always good to refresh some memories as well!)\n* act as a type of 'shrill alarm' where community members can report crime happening on the stellar network; i will be adding community members to a task force group which will have privilege to go on our website and verify scams or not which will then be echo'd across multiple social media bots to spread the warning further\n* tackle scams head-on as it is happening\n* report the crime to other entities in the community, other watchdogs, and justice enforcement agencies in their respective countries\n* and much much more\n\n\ni could keep writing but realistically i have to keep coding in order to make this project worthy of anything that the community can use.\n\n\n**scf funding** is essential to support the project's future, financially. as it stands, the frontend of this project is not past its prototype stage and i have been working on multiple backend software that will help me challenge and stop scams that appear. it is an experimental phase and i will go into detail with the community in a future blog post with my results.\n\n\nwhether this project becomes what i want it to be, or someone else makes something better, or other community members group up with me so we can make something even bigger, the end goal is to protect the community and educate them the instant they join. the reason for this is there are scammers who joined crypto-communities and they are specifically targeting new one as they join.\n\n\nthis is not only a crime, it's disgusting and has no use in our space. i want to stop this for good. these are sophisticated scams that have been built by someone who has been in the space for over 4 years. whether our portal educates newcomers and the community more than other portals, the point is this crime will not stop and the only true way to prevent this is to educate the community, continuously, and on new tactics criminals are using. which is why i am trying to commit more time on educational content and hoping this will be finished before nominations phase, in which case i can continue on other backend material (bots).\n\n\nfor over 2 months i have been implementing certain bots but have already come across hardware constraints. aside from my hardware constraints, the ability to fully commit to being a watchguard for the stellar network requires man power. even the sdf members who spend their time to protect the community have to spend their own time in their day that could otherwise be spent in other ways. as a moderator for over 2 years in multiple community channels, i have to say it would be quite worth to have a fully-automated security watchbot overlooking the entire stellar network and its community, that's also available for any community member to use. i would even go as far as that our project won't be the only one (we hope), and others in different industries and fields will join together to make a bigger security apparatus for the stellar network, and the extended traditional financial system. there are very talented developers in this space and so all we need is a good collab team to get things rolling. i hope to create discussion groups soon so people can brainstorm security guidelines, not just for themselves and their services but for the entirety of the community.\n\n\nsetting up a donation box will be on our to-do list but as it stands we are hoping for a size-able investment from the community to guarantee our operations for the future. i have estimated that an scf funding of 100,000 xlm would secure our operations for the next 14 months. anything more will be escrowed for future operations and/or to hire talent.\n\n\nthis project is in for the long haul, so whether we win this scf or not, we will still be doing what we are doing. scf funding will just help us reach our goals quicker and guarantee our operations for over a full year. i hope to unveil more content and features to the website that will show our worth.\n\n\nthank you for reading.\n\n\n",

**title:** xlet
**summary:** open stellar hardware wallet
**category:** applications, tools & infrastructure
**goals:** bringing cheap and full featured hardware wallets to everyone through easy to use software that can be installed on cheap, readily available devices
**description:** i realized there is a big gap in the stellar wallet experience. users have the choice between expensive and hard to find hardware wallets, or cheaper nfc cards that don't allow users to externally validate transactions before signing them. i searched high and low, experimenting with many devices before settling on the esp32 microprocessor.
there are many cheap devices available such as the ttgo and m5stack products (many of which are available with screens for us$10 - us$30), and the processor has built-in bluetooth le as well as flash encryption, secure boot and a hardware random number generator that is perfect for stellar key generation. all that was missing is the software, and that is what i have been building.
i have already spent a significant amount of time on the project and made a great deal of progress, as you can see in the demo video showcasing the ui and communication capabilities. i decided to make the software open source so everyone can use it, and it is designed to adapt to other architectures than esp32 so that it can scale out to even more devices in the future. my ultimate dream is for a manufacturer to use the software to build physical wallets so that consumers could walk into a retailer and buy a cheap wallet off the shelf for under us$20, perhaps even starting off with a built-in airdrop of us$20 worth of xlm to essentially make it free. i feel the ability to buy a truly secure hardware wallet for such a low price will be a huge benefit to stellar over other crypto assets, as well as for making it accessible to the public in general.
the project includes building the actual wallet software (in c++), as well as a companion wallet app for ios/android (in c# with xamarin) and i have created a demo website that shows how you can even interact with the wallet from your pc over bluetooth le. the basic framework is there, i just need to finish building out the signing and security featureset. i'm hoping to get support from scf to allow me to spend more time working on the project and accelerate getting it into the world. with the solid software base i have built so far, i will be able to add support for smartwatches/smartbands built on the esp32 platform (see the xlet.io site for some example pictures) and i have plans to eventually support screenless hardware security keys for use with servers.

b6a592962cf7b2ba01f21fca93c4373e | hi guys.
i would like to introduce our token creator and toml generator.
the token creator allows you to create your token on the testnet or mainnet easily by filling in basic details in a form, tokens are generated immediately based on what you input.
toml generator allows you to create the required info needed for your token toml file which you would host as .well-known/stellar.toml on your website.
with these two, it should be easier for anybody to create a token on the stellar network.
[token creator](http://token.xlmanchor.com/) / [github repo](https://github.com/protocoh/stellar_token_generator)
[toml generator](https://xlmanchor.com/en-us/toml-generator.php)
we are almost done with the anchor/remittance software we are building and will announce it soon.
feedbacks will be appreciated.

49d182f794f3e6d3aa94339a9ee909b4 | we would like to announce galacticbot.com, an open source trade bot for the stellar platform!
we believe stellar is the perfect platform to build and run a trade bot on. first of all many exchanges have a percentage based fees per transaction. the transactions costs of stellar on the other hand are flat fee and neglectable. second, compared to other blockchain platforms, stellar settlements are one of the fastest and usually settle within two to five seconds. and third, stellar is trying to be fair and inclusive. everyone can connect to the sdex (stellar decentralized exchange) and start trading. and all in the spirit of open source technology! what’s not to love?
we have developed galacticbot.com in the same spirit. our goal is to build an open source trade bot library that can be run on the stellar network. a library that we can work and improve on as a community.
features
--------
* an abstract bot class which you can extend to do implement your own trading logic
* bots can be run both the stellar public net as well as on the stellar test net for testing
* bots can be run in real time or as an simulation to test out bots and settings
* exponential moving average (ema) bot implemention which is currently being live tested (see below for links)
* demo project to show a working implementation of the library and to allow you to get a bot up and running in minutes
url: <https://www.galacticbot.com>
live running bot: <https://www.galacticbot.com/demo/> (no you are not allowed to edit the settings 😉
source code & documentation: <https://github.com/unwindnl/galacticbot/>
faq: <https://goo.gl/6o3taj>
two teaser shots of both the base library and the software-as-a-service included below.
we would like to use this announcement as a conversation starter, please ask away!

7d8ff17afc0947983239668a4feccdc6 | greetings, everyone.
some time ago i get aquainted with stellar, have build several projects on it. and have had some practice. so i think in context of operating/programming - it's the best crypto/payment system. ( once i needed system for micropayments, and i have searched and investigated most of popular crypto-systems, and.. i found stellar - is the best of them. )
so on topic.
stellar is developed as a system suitable for micropayments. with minimal commission. so it is also suitable for money collection between people, and also for crowd-funding.
what about idea to build such a system/tool based on stellar? i think it would be nice to have crowd-funding system based on crypto-currency.
i cannot suggest it only as my idea, cause it connected to stellar anyway.
but my suggestion - the system should be free, with commission 0. so everyone can use it.
i have found that idea nice and suitable. and i can build it by myself.
but i have found one bottleneck, that spoils the idea..
well, i live in cis. and as i found i cannot just exchange usd from my debit/credit card on stellarx-exchange. it is not supported.
so the bottleneck is - the commission on buying and selling stellar and converting it to fiat-money. in cis, not usa.
my countings are following: if i can buy/sell xlm via stellarx, my 'commisson' would be 2%. it's good enough and almost 0.
but now, as i cannot exchange it via stellarx - my commission would be 10% - via other exchanges. 10% - it's very much, and no one would use a system with such high and difficult procedure of funds withdrawal. and that fact spoils the idea, and make it useless...
so my suggestion to developers and community. how about support for debit/credit visa/mastercard from cis, and generally for any visa/mastercard? so that withdrawal of funds would become easy for everyone. or maybe visa-cards.
is it possible? so that idea explained here would be implemented.

"text": "if i am understanding the problem correctly, the main issue you are facing is getting in and out of crypto from your fiat currency in the jurisdiction you live in.\n\n\nit seems that what is lacking in the ecosystem is either:\n\n\n* an *anchor* in your jurisdiction that works with your local currency or usd and sufficient volume so you would be able to exchange xlm/other stellar assets to your currency and then withdraw it to your bank account\n* a stellar *anchor* that provides an international debit card against the deposited in the anchor. here it would be likely that you would have enough transaction fees that it would still make it not feasible.\n* an actual *exchange* in your jurisdiction where you can trade, deposit and withdraw directly.\n\n\nyou might want to look into fostering, encouraging or creating an anchor in the place where you live. that makes the ecosystem larger and attracts more interest to the stellar platform. it might not be easy but it seems to be a hard requirement to build other stuff on top.\n\n",

**title:** ayadee trak supply chain tool
**summary:** easily and simply create transparent and secure supply chains for your products
**category:** tools & infrastructure
**goals:**
through our use of stellar, we are building a universal supply chain tracking tool that is fast, easy to use and will function in environments with low-internet connectivity.
now more than ever the accurate historical origin of a product or document is more important than ever. the rise of global import tariffs has created a raft of regulatory compliance around a product’s point of origin and subsequently a range of deceptive schemes to get around these. from fake origin certificates and labelling to “transshipping” schemes where products are sent via 3rd party countries for origin relabeling there is now a multi-billion-dollar industry in such fraudulent schemes. beyond tariffs we also see a rise in deception around environmentally sustainable or social good products being replaced with cheaper or inferior products sourced from locations with poor social or environmental records.
other blockchain-based supply chain tools are too costly, or they use too much energy, or they are just too complicated for the workers who would need to enter data so they are not implemented widely. we have created an easy to use tool which is starting its second round of pilots with partners globally. ayadee trak is a tool that had in mind coffee farmers in el salvador who had limited educational opportunities making entries about their coffee that would go into the blockchain. the mobile entry tool only has four buttons on the screen, and whatever entry is made the gps location and timestamp are added automatically when data is submitted.
designed to be easy to use for consumers using standard qr codes. to see the history of a product that is on our system any consumer can simply point the camera of your phone at the qr code on its package, and then they’ll see photos, comments, and gps locations and timestamps of entries connected to each specific batch of a product being tracked.
finally, from a perspective of management controls, the company administrator can see the full supply chain, giving access to suppliers, processors and transport partners upstream to securely enter data about products with certainty that nobody in the supply chain could have edited this data once it was in the system. for further analysis, export this data into your traditional business intelligence systems. if there is an audit of your supply chains and procedures, you’ll have much more granular data than relying on traditional and disconnected supply chains of your various business partners.
**description:**
ayadee trak is the first supply chain tool to be built using the stellar blockchain. trak enables consumers to see the full history of a product, from inputs used in its production, to processing, to transport, to retail.
the current tool uses is a web-based application and can be used on all platforms.
ayadee trak uses the stellar blockchain to solve this problem by publishing a cryptographically secure public record hash of each trak product point entered by trak users on the mobile app. this secure publicly available record or signature on the stellar blockchain is unalterable by anyone and can be used by customers and regulators to prove the validity of the data surrounding a products history. clients are issued trak tokens, a stellar-based token, and one token is used for each time data is submitted into the system. a hash of each entry about a supply chain is entered into the stellar blockchain.
the open token architecture allows clients to be able to purchase unused trak utility tokens from other clients at their own agreed market rate without being dependent on ayadee. this open and transparent architecture allows future development around the trak product system for both ayadee and 3rd party developers in the future.
among the additional pilots launching in the coming month are mango and coffee farms in el salvador, a high-end women’s handbag producers in el salvador, a women’s handbag producer in ethiopia, a medical equipment provider in india and we are in talks with both us government agencies as well as one large european government about tracking textile supply chains, especially with a view towards preventing child labor. we are working to add new partners and a sampling of them can be found here: <https://ayadee.io/partners>.
the trak tokens themselves are a pure utility token used to publish each of the signatures directly to the stellar blockchain 1:1. and while they will have a value they are not a store of value and the purchase price of these will be controlled by ayadee to be always cheaply available for practical utility purposes. the client themselves has access to the sending account so they can transfer these trak tokens to other accounts or sell unused trak tokens on the open stellar markets however they do not have access to the receiving account which provides the record of the clients signature history.
how will we use these funds? we will use them scale beyond our pilots to reach out to new partners globally so that we can help more producers globally begin to track their supply chains, creating transparency that will bring spillover benefits to consumers ranging from greater certainty of the origin and quality of goods you buy to more detailed knowledge of your products than a simple label from a certifying agency could provide.

who are we building for?
supporters - deposit xlm into project accounts for distribution to contributors.
contributors - receive xlm when they contribute to projects.
why are we building this?
the software industry is lacking an incentive platform for building developer communities around projects outside of bounty offerings, employers paying developers hourly/salaries, or maintainers receiving donations. contributors to open and closed source projects should be incentivized for the value they bring to a project beyond just their time. we have been tracking contributions internally at revelry for over a year and this project will start bringing some of our concepts public.

1. how could my anchor interoperate with stellar network officially. do we have to contact to other anchors, or contact to sdf ?
2. how could our stablecoin has exchange rate with others stablecoin, both directly and through xlm ?
3. how could our stablecoin be listed on stellar decentralized exchanges ?
4. what actions do we need to take (besides technically development) ?

3c20f5b5862ee0f4d5d19aeece0a1afe | hello, i am one of the developers and maintainers of the award winning soneso stellar ios sdk.
and today, i would like to present our new **soneso stellar flutter sdk**.
it is a sdk for flutter developers, a dart package, that facilitates integration with the stellar horizon api server and submission of stellar transactions. it is now ready for beta testing.
if you are a flutter developer and interested in using it for your app or wallet, please check it out.
here are some examples of typical usage:
1. keypair generation
```
// create a completely new and unique pair of keys.
keypair keypair = keypair.random();
print(keypair.accountid);
// gcfxhs4gxl6bvucxbwxgtitrowlvyxqkqlf4yh5o5jt3yzxcypafbjzb
print(keypair.secretseed);
// sav76usxijobmeqxpanuoqm6f5liotlpdidvrjbffe2mdjxg24tapuu7
```
2. check account
```
string accountid = "gasykqxv47tptb6hkxwznb6irvpmtq6m6b27im5l2lymnybx2o53yjal";
// request the account data.
accountresponse account = await sdk.accounts.account(accountid);
// you can check the `balance`, `sequence`, `flags`, `signers`, `data` etc.
for (balance balance in account.balances) {
switch (balance.assettype) {
case asset.type_native:
print("balance: ${balance.balance} xlm");
break;
default:
print("balance: ${balance.balance} ${balance
.assetcode} issuer: ${balance.assetissuer}");
}
}
print("sequence number: ${account.sequencenumber}");
for (signer signer in account.signers) {
print("signer public key: ${signer.accountid}");
}
for (string key in account.data.keys) {
print("data key: ${key} value: ${account.data[key]}");
}
```
3. send payment
```
// load sender account data from the stellar network.
accountresponse sender = await sdk.accounts.account(senderkeypair.accountid);
// build the payment operation.
paymentoperation paymentoperation = paymentoperationbuilder(destinationid,asset.native, "100").build();
// build the transaction containing the payment operation.
transaction transaction = new transactionbuilder(sender, network.testnet)
.addoperation(paymentoperation)
.build();
// sign the transaction with the sender's key pair.
transaction.sign(senderkeypair);
// submit the transaction to the stellar network.
submittransactionresponse response = await sdk.submittransaction(transaction);
if (response.success) {
// ...
} else {
// ...
}
```
4. stream payments
```
string accountid = "gdxpjr65a6exw7ziwwiqpo6rktpg3t2vwfbs3eahjznfw6zxg3vwttsk";
sdk.payments.foraccount(accountid).cursor("now").stream().listen((response) {
if (response is paymentoperationresponse) {
switch (response.assettype) {
case asset.type_native:
print("payment of ${response.amount} xlm from ${response.sourceaccount} received.");
break;
default:
print("payment of ${response.amount} ${response.assetcode} from ${response.sourceaccount} received.");
}
}
});

{
"text": "hi guys, thank you for your feedback!\n\n\nin the meantime the beta phase of the flutter sdk is finished and i added implementation for [sep-0001 stellar.toml](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-protocol/blob/master/ecosystem/sep-0001.md), [sep-0002 federation](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-protocol/blob/master/ecosystem/sep-0002.md) and [sep-0005 key derivation](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-protocol/blob/master/ecosystem/sep-0005.md)\n\n\n#### stellar.toml (sep-0001)\n\n\nthe data can be parsed from a string or loaded and parsed from a given domain.\n\n\n##### from string\n\n\nto parse the data from a string you can use the default constructor of the `stellartoml` class.\n\n\n\n```\nstring toml = '''\n# sample stellar.toml\nversion=\"2.0.0\"\n# ...\n''';\n\nstellartoml stellartoml = stellartoml(toml);\ngeneralinformation generalinformation = stellartoml.generalinformation;\nprint(generalinformation.version);\n```\n\nafter parsing, the `stellartoml` class provides: `generalinformation`, `documentation`, `pointsofcontact`, `currencies` and `validators`\n\n\n##### from domain\n\n\nto load and parse the data from a domain you can use the fromdomain constructor of the stellartoml class. it automatically composes the needed url. in the following example the data is loaded from: <https://soneso.com/.well-known/stellar.toml> - only the domain \"soneso.com\" has to be provided:\n\n\n\n```\nstellartoml stellartoml = await stellartoml.fromdomain(\"soneso.com\");\ngeneralinformation generalinformation = stellartoml.generalinformation;\n//...\n```\n\n##### linked currency\n\n\nalternately to specifying a specific currency in it's content, `stellar.toml` can link out to a separate toml file for a given currency by specifying `toml=\"https://domain/.well-known/currency.toml\"` as the currency's only field.\n\n\n\n```\nversion=\"2.0.0\"\n#...\n[[currencies]]\ntoml=\"https://soneso.com/.well-known/testc.toml\"\n#...\n```\n\nto load the data of this currency, you can use the static method: `stellartoml.currencyfromurl(string toml)` - as shown in the example below:\n\n\n\n```\nstellartoml stellartoml = await stellartoml.fromdomain(\"soneso.com\");\nlist<currency> currencies = stellartoml.currencies;\nfor (currency currency in currencies) {\n if (currency.toml != null) {\n currency linkedcurrency = await stellartoml.currencyfromurl(currency.toml);\n print(linkedcurrency.code);\n }\n}\n```\n\n#### federation (sep-0002)\n\n\n##### resolving a stellar address\n\n\nto resolve a stellar address like for example `bob*soneso.com` we can use the static method `federation.resolvestellaraddress` as shown below:\n\n\n\n```\nfederationresponse response = await federation.resolvestellaraddress(\"bob*soneso.com\");\n\nprint(response.stellaraddress);\n// bob*soneso.com\n\nprint(response.accountid);\n// gbvpkxwmab3fiujb6t7lf66dabkka2zhrhdoqz25gbaefzvhtbpjnoji\n\nprint(response.memotype);\n// text\n\nprint(response.memo);\n// hello memo text\n```\n\n##### resolving a stellar account id\n\n\nto resolve a stellar account id like for example `gbvpkxwmab3fiujb6t7lf66dabkka2zhrhdoqz25gbaefzvhtbpjnoji` we can use the static method `federation.resolvestellaraccountid`. we need to provide the account id and the federation server url as parameters:\n\n\n\n```\nfederationresponse response = await federation.resolvestellaraccountid(\"gbvpkxwmab3fiujb6t7lf66dabkka2zhrhdoqz25gbaefzvhtbpjnoji\", \"https://stellarid.io/federation/\");\n\nprint(response.stellaraddress);\n// bob*soneso.com\n\nprint(response.accountid);\n// gbvpkxwmab3fiujb6t7lf66dabkka2zhrhdoqz25gbaefzvhtbpjnoji\n\nprint(response.memotype);\n// text\n\nprint(response.memo);\n// hello memo text\n```\n\n##### resolving a stellar transaction id\n\n\nto resolve a stellar transaction id like for example `c1b368c00e9852351361e07cc58c54277e7a6366580044ab152b8db9cd8ec52a` we can use the static method `federation.resolvestellartransactionid`. we need to provide the transaction id and the federation server url as parameters:\n\n\n\n```\n// returns the federation record of the sender of the transaction if known by the server\nfederationresponse response = await federation.resolvestellartransactionid(\"c1b368c00e9852351361e07cc58c54277e7a6366580044ab152b8db9cd8ec52a\", \"https://stellarid.io/federation/\");\n```\n\n##### resolving a forward\n\n\nused for forwarding the payment on to a different network or different financial institution. here we can use the static method `federation.resolveforward` . we need to provide the needed query parameters as `map<string, string>` and the federation server url:\n\n\n\n```\nfederationresponse response = await federation.resolveforward({\n \"forward_type\": \"bank_account\",\n \"swift\": \"bopbphmm\",\n \"acct\": \"2382376\"\n}, \"https://stellarid.io/federation/\");\n\n// resulting request url: \n// https://stellarid.io/federation/?type=forward&forward_type=bank_account&swift=bopbphmm&acct=2382376\n```\n\n#### key derivation methods for stellar key (sep-0005)\n\n\nmethods for key derivation for stellar are described in [sep-005](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-protocol/blob/master/ecosystem/sep-0005.md). this improves key storage and moving keys between wallets and apps.\n\n\nin the following examples you can see how to generate 12 or 24 words mnemonics for different languages using the flutter sdk, how to generate key pairs from a mnemonic (with and without bip 39 passphrase) and how to generate key pairs from a bip 39 seed.\n\n\n##### generate mnemonic\n\n\n\n```\nstring mnemonic = wallet.generate12wordsmnemonic(); \nprint(mnemonic);\n// twice news void fiction lamp chaos few code rate donkey supreme primary\n\nmnemonic = wallet.generate24wordsmnemonic(); \nprint(mnemonic);\n// mango debris lumber vivid bar risk prosper verify photo put ridge sell range pet indoor lava sister around panther brush twice cattle sauce romance\n```\n\ndefault language is english.\n\n\n##### generate other language mnemonic\n\n\n\n```\nstring frenchmnemonic = wallet.generate12wordsmnemonic(language: language_french);\nprint(frenchmnemonic);\n// pouvoir aménager lagune alliage bermuda taxer dogme avancer espadon sucre bermuda aboyer\n\nstring koreanmnemonic = wallet.generate24wordsmnemonic(language: language_korean);\nprint(koreanmnemonic);\n// 합리적 채널 침대 달걀 기념 정성 세종대왕 한식 불안 독창적 착각 체계 순서 학급 평화 마약 냉면 멀리 남매 초반 치약 여권 지방 물음\n```\n\nsupported languages are:\n\n\n* english\n* french\n* spanish\n* italian\n* korean\n* japanese\n* simplified chinese\n* traditional chinese\n\n\n##### generate key pairs from mnemonic\n\n\n\n```\nwallet wallet = wallet.from(\"shell green recycle learn purchase able oxygen right echo claim hill again hidden evidence nice decade panic enemy cake version say furnace garment glue\");\n\nkeypair keypair0 = wallet.getkeypair(index: 0);\nprint(\"${keypair0.accountid} : ${keypair0.secretseed}\");\n// gcvsebhb6ctmehuhiuy4ddfmwq7pjthfzgok2jud5eg2arnvs6s22e3k :

hey! i'm alexis, a french it student and stellar holder since 2k14 8)
i've been working on blackwallet the last weeks/months, tried many things, started over again and again (dev routine 😆) but finally, today, i'm proud to be here, introducing the first, but not least version of blackwallet!
link
----
---
the project
-----------
blackwallet is a web stellar lumens wallet, it was built using javascript & stellar horizon. i like to describe it as an enhanced account viewer as it doesn't require users to create an account - all you need is a private key.
however the stellar's account viewer and blackwallet share no code at all, i built blackwallet from scratch.
my goal is to create an easy but powerful wallet with as many features as possible. the idea is that blackwallet could be used by new users for its simplicity while at the same time being used by the confirmed users for its advanced features.
that's ambitious i know. but i truly believe this can be achieved - at least, i'm doing my best to make it a better wallet everyday.
as i said, blackwallet is a web wallet, but can be used on any device that can execute javascript code - it can also be used as a web-app on ios (by simply enabling the mobile mode in the settings and adding blackwallet to the screenboard).
i'll post here what i'm working on, the changelogs and what may come in the future - feel free (and i'd love that you do so) to post some feedbacks, ideas, bug reports here, this would really help! many brains are better than one!

26d0277c2c5b30273b49299c560eb489 | currently cryptocurrencies are not used for things beyond investment, few businesses accept them. in part this is due to the lack of platforms for non-expert users, leading to fewer businesses that accept these types of payments. not counting the problem that merchants have to accept such volatile currencies such as bitcoin.
the existing platforms are not intuitive to use and the current payment gateways make the user pay high fees of each blockchain making payments of less than $ 5- $ 10 unprofitable. for example, paying directly with ethereum costs around $ 4 in network fees and a 5 min wait.
we believe that platforms for all types of users is something that is not abundant in any part of the world. in the united states there are beginning to be platforms that implement payment gateways, in europe they are almost non-existent.
we want to create a platform that in addition to allowing businesses to accept cryptocurrencies, without prior knowledge, exchanging the payment instantly to stable currencies or fiat, also allows to handle, exchange and buy cryptocurrencies in an intuitive way for any type of user.
we seek to solve this by creating an intuitive interface and allowing a lot of flexibility, for example, allowing the user to decide if they want to manage their own passwords or that we safeguard them. using stellar we can allow instant payments and with a minimum cost, making all types of payments for all types of users possible.

**timeline**
* wolfbridge: mar 2021
* wolfwallet: jul 2021
* wolfpay: nov 2021
* wolfweb: feb 2022
**wolfbridge**
we will create anchors with which you will not only be able to introduce currencies but will also allow more interoperability allowing calls to smart contracts of other blockchains directly from stellar.
the list of accepted blockhains will increase over time but the first will be bitcoin, ethereum, cardano, polkadot, monero, eos, tron, tezos. of the blockchains like ethereum we will allow the vast majority of tokens (dai, maker, aave, uniswap, tether, ...) since we will allow you to specify the address of the contract by automatically creating an anchor.
you can interact directly with a smart contract or with functions of each blockchain. for example, you will be able to interact directly with compound or aave contracts from stellar making the transaction cheaper since the cryptos will go from stellar to the contract without going through a third wallet, our bridge will detect if you have received another token (ceth in the case of compound) and will send it back to stellar.
another advantage is the way to receive crypto. while most anchors and platforms create a wallet for each user, which increases the costs of having to pay a second transaction (your wallet -> your address in the anchor -> central anchor account) we will give you several options. the first is the aforementioned address to send your cryptos to, the second is the possibility of specifying a memo in all the blockchains that allow it and the third by means of a digital signature with each wallet, making it possible to send cryptos directly to the wallet of our anchor from any wallet, (metamask, atomic, etc)
**fee schedule**
**deposit**
method 1 (getting a custom address to send criptos)
* blockchain fee + 0,05%
method 2 (memo code)
* 0,05%
method 3 (wallet signing)
* 0,05%
withdraw
* blockchain fee + 0,1%
calling a contract
* blockchain fee + 0,15%
**wolfwallet**
we will create a wallet that allows you to freely manage your cryptos, in addition to being designed to obtain maximum interoperability, you will have your cryptocurrencies in an organized way, for example, if you have bitcoin and wbtc they will appear together and you will be able to see it in detail in the bitcoin section. in the wallet there will be a tool that will allow you to send crypto from one blockchain to another very easily, either using existing bridges, as in the case of wbtc or using wolfbridge.
this wallet will be in the form of a mobile and desktop app, we synchronize all the data (accepted currencies, wallet names, etc.) through ipfs with orbitdb so that you do not have to configure the wallet every time you add a device.
**wolfpay**
this will be the tool that gives cryptocurrencies that utility we are looking for.
we will create a payment gateway that will allow you to pay with your cryptocurrencies in ecommerce and allow them to automatically receive the local currency, thus attracting both a crypto audience, and stores that only want to have one more payment channel.
thanks to using stellar we will be able to allow micropayments making it profitable to pay less than € 5, (current gateways do not allow it and you can pay more than € 3 in blockchain commissions, in addition to a wait of more than 5 min in the case of ethereum ).
we guarantee very high security using high security standards and using serverless technologies. in addition to offering very high speed and scalability.
**wolfchain**
this is the final platform. we will create a tool, both web and app, that allows you to access all services (wolfbridge, wolfwallet, wolfpay) but without the need to have extensive knowledge of the world of cryptocurrencies, offering a very intuitive interface , key custody, without handling tokens or assets. allowing both advanced users and new users to manage their crypto more easily without losing the wide range of options we offer.
wolfchain will have a business section, where an ecommerce or store will be able to manage the payments made in their store, having access to detailed statistics and special data management and export options.
about us
since september 2020 we have been incubated in emprenbit, located in the palma de mallorca technology park called parc bit. in this incubator, in addition to having a place where we can work, we enjoy various advantages such as professional help in the field of starting and organizing our company and also talks from different entrepreneurs who have managed to succeed in different areas.
the project of wolfchain has already received an award for young entrepreneurs organized by carnet jove and the government of the balearic islands.
if you want to meet our team, you can look at it on our website, which you will find in the links section.

stellar payments in whatsapp, telegram, keybase, matrix, discord, slack and twitter!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
send money to more than a billion people in the world using your preferred messaging app, any currency, any asset, in seconds with the unbreakable security of the stellar network.

### goals:
reach the whole world sending stellar assets using whatsapp as a wallet. with a few simple text commands you can send any asset to your family and friends, businesses, fundraising campaigns, any recipient, any currency, any asset, any time. money can't be simpler and that's the whole concept of a truly modern banking experience, welcome to paysapp.
### description:
in a few words, just take a look:
**pay 100 to caroline**
that's how simple paysapp is. with a handful of actions you can send money all over the world, check your balance, handle multiple assets, trade them in the stellar marketplace, and to make it even simpler you can use your phone number or any vanity name you like.
the messaging platform will be provided by whatsapp and the unbreakable ledger by the stellar network, a match made in heaven.
in order to test the platform you have to add +14155238886 to your whatsapp contacts and send the following message 'join official-pleasure' to access the testing sandbox. once greeted by the whatsapp bot all comunication will be between our servers and your commands, now send 'hello' to activate your wallet and we will create a stellar account with 10000 xlm for you to test. if you want to set a vanity name just send the command 'name caroline' and that name will be reserved for you if not already taken, then people can send money directly to your phone number or paysapp name. isn't that awesome?
from now on all you have to do is use the 'pay' command to send money all over the world. 'pay 100 to george' and i will receive 100 xlm in my account. the default asset is xlm but you can easily change it to any of the 150 currencies in the world with this simple command 'asset usd' using any 3 char currency code. want to send gold or slvr? goat or hugs? easy peasy, we can trade any imaginable asset in the stellar exchange, but that'll take a bit longer, we're working on all the amazing features a modern wallet should have.
join us in this incredible journey, try paysapp in the testnet while we finish some details and prepare for the countdown. lift off in 3, 2, 1...

**title:**
edunode - meet, learn, and build on the stellar network.
**summary:**
we are your educational platform on the stellar network, we help you build open-source tools on stellar.
**category:**
resources & content
**goals:**
* develop an easy to use platform that connects members of the stellar community
* support developers and enthusiasts with the necessary resources to start building.
* create an engaged community of enthusiasts and developers.
* educate people and increase awareness about the stellar network.
* facilitate the necessary tools and resources in order to start building on the network.
* organize events such as meetups and workshops which allows participants to learn and develop apps on the stellar network.
**description:**
my name is olvis gil, i am a colombian currently living in vienna, austria. i am the co-founder at [experio](https://www.experio.at/), and i also organize the [stellar austria developers meetup](https://www.stellar.org/events/stellar-austria-developers-meetup) (which was organized together with bernard from galactictalk), you can join the keybase team: stellar\_at.
one of our goals is to develop a reward system for content creators. for this, we will use albedo, which allows anyone to securely reward/donate content creators. albedo allows other stellar apps to request transaction signing or identity verification without ever exposing your secret key, here you can find more details about how albedo works: <https://albedo.link/>. for the moment, we have implemented a “login with albedo” feature, check out the video below:
and now we will focus on developing the payment widget that will be used by users and content creators to securely send and receive payments on the stellar network.
**why edunode?**
edunode was born out of a need to increase the awareness about the stellar network. we support developers and non-developers to understand which are the best ways and resources needed in order to start building applications using the stellar network.
**technical details**
* the front-end of the platform was built using reactjs, material ui and react-boostrap.
* community map implementation with mapboxgl.
* user registration system built using redux, nodemailer and nodejs.
* front end deployed on netlify and backend deployed on heroku.
* we use mongodb for database management.
**timeline**
01 2020 - idea and conceptualization.
03 2020 - first stellar austria developers meetup in vienna, check out the post on [twitter](https://twitter.com/edunode_).
03 2020 - landing page.
04 2020 - list of resources and tools.
05 2020 - community map.
06 2020 - registration system and sign in with google.
07 2020 - account, profile and dashboard
08 2020 - albedo auth implementation
09 2020 - identicons implementation for user accounts (developed by lbstr)
**benefits of edunode for the stellar network**
our project is valuable for stellar because we help to increase awareness about the stellar network by creating engaging events that help attendees learn more about stellar and to join the #stellarfamily. we want to become the go-to open-source education platform for the stellar ecosystem, and in order to achieve this, we will need your support and feedback in order to reach our goals.
**resources**
we are working on a list of resources and tools that helps developers get started

**blog**
any registered user will have the possibility to create stories and be rewarded. you can find our blog here: <http://edunode.org/blog>

**community map**
the idea behind this map is to be able to locate community members of the #stellarfamily around the globe, which will serve as a great source for newcomers to easily find stellar communities

**workshops and meetups**
we also organize events that educate attendees about the benefits of building on stellar. we support them by providing the tools they need in order to start building on stellar.
our workshop help participants to understand basic and advanced topics such as:
1. what is stellar?
2. introduction to stellar nodes
3. what are the order books
4. supported languages and community sdks
5. developer tools and resources
6. operations and issuing assets
7. wallets and exchanges

cc1744be11fe8183c44fae0bcdcf5f93 | ### summary
blocknify allows you to easily add legally binding e-signature to any stellar transaction with privacy and trust built-in.
our solution allows you to legally sign documents that can be independently verified at any time (without blocknify) and can be tied to any asset transfer on the stellar network.
stellar has allowed us to be the first full e-signature saas solution with entirely transparent signatures through client-side operations and decentralization in every step. we use the stellar network as our immutable public notary for each signature. instead of blocknify being the black box of truth, stellar allows us to give each signer all the tools and data to verify against stellar for each signature at any time and independently from us or anyone else.
our signature audit trail (attached to every signed document) contains everything you need and directions on reconstructing the signature hash within the stellar network.
we believe in the power of lowering the barrier to operate in a fair system. legal contracts are vital to setting the context and terms of a business transaction so that all parties can be treated fairly.
many payments are made according to a contract, such as loan agreements, payments around a service or product, tokenization agreement, equity agreement, and many others. however, payments are often detached from their context. our solution allows you to tie a legally binding e-signature and pdf to your payment. this process ensures that if there is a dispute, the proof can easily be provided, and all the needed information can then be validated within the stellar transaction.
### details
* currently, our product allows you to:
* sign or send a document (pdf) to be signed within two clicks using our chrome extension or initiated via our api.
* signers receive an email with a unique link to sign the document via our web application (no installation needed).
* signers verify themselves via sms (id verification pending), create a signing pin, and then view their document and sign.
* the signature is packaged with the information we have collected from the signer, hashed, signed (with the signers private key), hashed again, and submitted to the stellar network as a memo.
* once all signers have signed the document, everyone receives the final document with an attached audit trail. this audit trail contains all the needed information to verify any signature at any time without requiring any input from blocknify and the linked transaction on stellar.expert.
* the audit trail contains the document fingerprint (hashing of the document's visual content) and the signer's public key, name, phone number, and raw signed data. at any time, a signer can use the audit trail and instruction to reconstruct any one of the attached signatures and going from their identity, document, time information to our signature hashed posted to the stellar network with standard tools.
**with additional development funds from sdf, we will be able to:**
* signers will have two options to tie an existing stellar account via sep: 0007 or albedo.
* the poster will be able to request payment within a specified asset and sign the document.
* the signer will then be able to select which asset they will pay with.
* we then create the transaction with the signature and asset transfer. this transaction will then be presented as a uri link, qr code, or requested for signature from albedo. the transaction will then be signed and posted to the stellar network.
* we then monitor the transactions for the account and confirm the integrity of the transaction.
* once all signers have signed the document, everyone receives the final document with an attached audit trail. this audit trail contains all the needed information to verify any signature at any time without requiring any input from blocknify and the linked transaction on stellar.expert.
* to verify signatures at any time, signers can use our open-source tools and the final document with the attached audit trail. this tool will then recreate the document fingerprint hash, pull the signer's information, recreate the signature hash, and then match the hash and account within the stellar network's transaction.
### what this means for the stellar ecosystem
it lowers the barrier to creating fairer and legally enforceable asset transfers within the stellar ecosystem.
an additional tool for transacting assets on the stellar network.
our apis can easily be added to any existing platform or solutions using the stellar network by using an iframe.
we provide white labeling of our web application and chrome extension.
we support templating to allow for easy pdf generation.
ability to get documents signed in complete privacy.
we know creating a legal document itself can be unfair. therefore we would love to work with our legal network and other for-profit and non-profit groups to make it easier to generate contracts. our template solution allows us to sign the template, allowing signers to feel safe that this "standard" contract is a word for word copy of the known standard agreement.
### how are we different from other e-signature solutions:
we have focused on creating a solution where technology creates trust rather than marketing.
while there are many other e-signature solutions, however, almost all of them are centralized black boxes requiring you to trust them / rely on them. keep in mind most of these solutions are quite old (in technology years) and have the benefit of the doubt from their users that "they have this figured out." for example, many cloud e-signature solutions keep a copy of your document as the source of truth, control the identity, and key management. this is the easiest way to do this process. one issue is that you must rely on them to verify the document signed and provide all the identity records and internal system time stamps, as they only provide some basic information. these programs are also expensive. other non-saas methods are privacy-focused but are painful.
while i don't believe they have any malicious intent, we see this centralized black box as an unnecessary risk, especially with new technology (e.g., stellar).
instead of holding the document forever, we came up with a way to clean the document and verify its visible elements on the client-side. files can collect a lot of noise as time goes on; however, a signature is only concerned about the visual elements. we use standard pdf parsing to breakdown the pdf to its visible elements and create hashes of hashes. this process ensures that even if one pixel is changed, then the document fingerprint is entirely different while ensuring the document's complete privacy. however, this also enables us not to require centralized control or require blocknify to store a clean source of truth version and allows our signers to reverify their documents at any time client-side.
as other solutions create their black box immutable timestamps, we use stellar as our immutable public witness.
instead of holding all the information in a black box and making you trust us, our signature can be independently verified with the attached audit trail sent out to all the signers after everyone has signed.
### we support our goal of building trust and privacy in three ways.
first, our solution is built to the specification of one of the most strict e-signature laws, eidas (eu) advanced electronic signature. by following eidas, we also satisfied e-signature laws of over 60+ countries who follow eidas, such as switzerland, or have less strict rules. due to our signatures being transparent, signers can verify how we created their signature, ensuring we follow the rules. our e-signature solution is currently being used by law firms (<https://www.karanovicpartners.com/k-signing/>), financial services, and other regulated industries.
second, our signatures and document verification are constructed entirely client-side and allow for decentralized verification. because you can't blindly trust the front-end, the signature should be validated. for our public solution, we validate signatures on our backend. however, we can delegate this verification to another backend. our new library will provide an easy way to verify the document and signature info against the posted stellar transaction. this will allows us to still facilitate signatures without needing to view any sensitive information. in the future, we would like to use zero-knowledge-proofs for all identity info, which allows us to verify the identity information on our backend without knowing the real information (let us know if you have experience in this!).
third, our audit trail contains everything you need to independently verify any signature, without any data from blocknify. after every signer has signed the document, a final document is sent with an attached audit trail. this audit trail is just the collection of the signature documentation, and because of that, it can be constructed without blocknify for high privacy uses. it has all the needed information to re-construct signatures and independently verify each signature on the stellar network. while this can be manually done today, we're currently working on making an open-source version of our signature verification to make it even easier to validate.
### blocknify has been around since early 2018
we graduated from the f10 accelerator (managed by the swiss stock exchange) and startupyard (the oldest accelerator in cee). we have clients and partners from financial service companies (raiffeisen international bank), law firms (<https://www.karanovicpartners.com/k-signing/>), and other regulated industries (<https://big-swiss.com/about-us/#network>).
### why the stellar network?
in beginning, we used a private ethereum network. we then tethered our private network to the main net for accountability and control of our cost. however, running our own private network created additional complexity and undermined our mission for trust to be built-in.
we choose stellar because of the ease of use, excellent documentation and community tools, mission, cross-currency transactions, specialization around asset-backed tokens, and low cost.
we believe in stellar's future and the ability to lower the barrier and cost of transferring assets anywhere in the world. we believe stellar's mechanism of creating trust and legitimacy is a massive factor in reducing the barrier of using dlt. we hope we can play our part in lowering that barrier by making it easier to sign contracts and tying them to asset transfers to help encourage fair and safe transactions.
### what will we do with the funds?
we are only in step one of our stellar integration. currently, we use our account to post the signer's signature hash to the stellar network (the signer uses their key to sign the document). our chrome extension currently supports all chromium browsers (chrome, brave, edge, etc.), and signers can sign on any device through our web application.
we plan to finish step two, three, and four in our stellar integration with these additional funds.
* step two: allow our users to create their stellar account.
* step three: allow users to use their existing stellar account to sign documents and submit their signature to the stellar network.
* step four: allow users to tie their document signature to a payment.
* step five: allow users to request a payment, which will be paid with the attached signature.
* step six: allow users to pay in any stellar token.
* step seven: enable complex signature and payment use cases.

select your trading pair and view the order book that displays the top 5 buy and sell offers. submit trades at the best market rate or submit an offer at your desired rate. in the market view, you can enter the amount of the asset you want to offer and you're shown how much of the other asset you would receive. you can also switch from market order to a limit order to submit an offer. you can easily view and cancel your open orders as well as view your trade history.
note: market rate swaps are temporarily limited to the amount available at the best rate. any amount offered above this threshold will be posted as an offer (which you can wait for it to be fulfilled or you can cancel the offer in the open order section).
**2. add & remove stellar assets**
by entering the asset's code (ex: pts) and issuer address (ex: gbpg7kryc3ptkhbxqgrd3gmz5db4c3d553zn2zlh57lbaqiulvy46z5f) you can add trust lines to your favourite stellar tokens. you can also remove the trust line as long as the balance is zero.
**3. join inflation pool**
easily join the lumenaut.net 0% fee inflation pool to receive your weekly distribution of stellar's 1% annual inflation and transaction fee pool.
**4. balance summary**
by default we display your available balance which is your total balance minus your trustlines (0.5 xlm each), open trade offers (0.5 xlm each), and your minimum balance (0.5 xlm). you can see how this balance is calculated in your xlm wallet's balance summary (arrow next to xlm).
**5. exchange address recognition**
we have compiled a list of 21 exchanges that list stellar lumens (xlm) and identified whether they require memo text or memo id. when a user enters one of these exchange's address, either the memo id or memo text field becomes required depending on which memo type the exchange uses.
**6. dual memo field**
since exchange addresses were the primary use case of memo's, we made a dual purpose memo field which recognizes whether you are entering a memo id or memo text field. when you enter only numbers it will be sent as a memo id, when you send with alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers) it will be a memo text.
**7. pin settings (ios only)**
toggle pin settings on/off for 3 main actions: launching the app, sending, and trading.
**8. security feature: anti-screen shot (desktop only)**
helps to prevent users from taking a screenshot of their 24 word recovery phrase. we encourage users to write down their recovery phrase and store it in a safe place. anyone with access to your phrase will be able to spend your funds.
**upcoming initiatives:**
- full anchor services via web portal (cad, btc, eth, ltc... and many more coming soon!)
- blockpoints (pts) airdrop to early adopters
- android wallet
we appreciate your feedback in our mission to make the best wallets available.

78a4807671ebfffac72208cfba74c854 | hi, stellar community!
we’re julien and bastien from [cashnotify](https://cashnotify.com/), the app for monitoring stripe payments from your menu bar. we launched it in [june 2017](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/cashnotify-for-stripe) and have a community of enthusiastic entrepreneurs as our customers.
our project for the stellar build challenge is to make [cashnotify](https://cashnotify.com/) compatible with stellar accounts. within the same app, merchants will be able to monitor their stripe *and* stellar accounts.
the stellar accounts feature is in public beta, sign up on [cashnotify.com/stellar/](https://cashnotify.com/stellar/) to try it!
[](https://cashnotify.com/stellar/)
why are we building this?
=========================
we believe in new payment methods for online merchants. we love stripe but it has some disadvantages, mainly:
* only available for merchants in 25 countries
* high fees
* very few alternatives to paying by credit card
we think that we’re going to see more and more merchants accepting cryptocurrencies in the near future. and they will want to monitor payments from their menu bar!
why stellar?
============
we’ve been blown away by the quality of the [documentation](https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/), the [api](https://www.stellar.org/developers/horizon/reference/index.html)’s design, and the [tools](https://www.stellar.org/laboratory/) for developers. the stellar platform make us happy to write code. we believe in its mass adoption potential.
progress
========
* january 29: start prototyping
* february 12: post this first message on the forum
* march 8: update this post's illustration with a preview of our "cashnotify for stellar" marketing
* march 9: sign up page for our private beta is live at [cashnotify.com/stellar/](https://cashnotify.com/stellar/)
* march 13: send a private beta to our first users
* march 23: now in public beta, enter your email to receive a download link immediately
do you want to try it?
======================
[cashnotify](https://cashnotify.com/) was created by listening to our customers. many features wouldn’t exist without their input. we want to keep building this way and we’d love to hear your opinion on the app as we build it.
sign up on [cashnotify.com/stellar/](https://cashnotify.com/stellar/) to try our public beta with your stellar account. 🙂
thanks for reading and good luck with what you’re building today!

d26ad08694cd176cc002ad14d526aa3b | hello,
we started working on a protocol / standard / software to enable fiat tokenization by trusted anchors.
to be clear trusted anchors are regulated entities that everyone can trust that at any point in time they can redeem their tokens.
the idea behind the project is to have one virtual currency like virtual eur being issued by any anchor that respects the standard and uses the open source software that we provide.
we will try to build it from bottom-up, from small regulated entities in europe like payment institutions and electronic money institutions and grow up towards the banks.
as an example: a small regulated payment institution (even a regulated crypto exchange lile bitstamp would qualify) would deploy our software and will be able to issue virtual eur. basically the anchor (in this example bitstamp) will enable its users to issue veur while they keep the eur in escrow, visible to public (also insured by the protocol and software). when a new anchor wants to adhere the the protocol it will install the software and it's users will be able to issue the same kind of veur (fungible).
the goals of the protocol / software are:
* to create a democratic federation of anchors that can all issue same tokenized currency
* no private entity like theter will have total dominance and control over such a token
* total transparency of the monetary base
* total transparency of the protocol and governance
we will release the specifications of the protocol for public consultations with the stellar community, and we hope to have feedback.
we also hope if stellar community will support our idea that also stellar foundation would like to get involved since we believe that if we pull this off and make it very easy for anchors to issue virtual eur this will help the whole stellar project to scale very fast and to get a lot of traction.
thank you !
ps: we are doing this because we need this software because we will be a regulated anchor to issue veur but we think making this part of the software free and open and adding the possibility to create a federation will help adoption and will benefit us all. even if some of our competitors will benefit from this open/free software if this will spark mass adoption we will be better of with a small slice from a much bigger cake.

0890b9da18a211a69813dd690d481629 | hi all, i'm working on a new ledger explorer which i'm now hosting at <https://steexp.com>
please take a look and let me know what you think.
the source code and issue tracker are at <https://github.com/chatch/stellarexplorer>.
all data is coming from horizon and the raw responses can be viewed by clicking on the json buttons. i've tried to be info complete but i think there is still some stuff missing, on the accounts view there needs to be a couple more tabs. let me know if you'd like to see something that's not there.
i'll look at making it faster next as it's a pretty fat download on first load. though after this it should be cached (thanks to react create-react-app setup). also i might look at changing styles depending on feedback. how's the dark theme?
if anyone wants to add a language see the "help translate" link under the language picker. you just need to add a new json file with translations there.
cheers.

61c2f26e7ffc96f51e2eab38c931e25d | hi. a pleasure to greet. my name is dayer chapellín. at the moment i am working on a project with which i want to support a token that i want to use in the commercialization of goods and services. the stellar platform says that any institution and even people, as is my case, can issue tokens.
what is the minimum information that an individual must put in a .toml file to support the token? the idea is to create the initial conditions to start using the token in the testing of services and the commercialization of goods, create the necessary liquidity and then move on to another phase where the idea is to form a company, that is, a private institution so that the project keep evolving, developing and growing.
the fundamental idea is to create the conditions to use the token to trade goods and services and even to use it as a store of value.
at first i want to offer taxi services, delivery, executive transfers, motorcycle taxi and services of a similar nature.
on the other hand, i am currently working with fast food that i also intend to include within the products that i intend to market.

**project title:** skyhitz
**summary:** beats market for music creators
**category:** applications
**goals:**
* create a new income stream for music producers
* create a platform that enables musicians to upload, buy and sell beats
* allow users to get paid in xlm or anchored currencies
**timeline:**
* launched app for ios and android (march 22nd)
* launch app for web (april 1st)
* launch service that allows users to purchase tokens backed by a stripe account in u.s dollars ( april 15th )
* handle withdraws to external stellar addresses ( april 30th )
**description:**
skyhitz enables musicians to safely trade their music creations using the stellar network. this project is valuable for the community because it shows the power of the network, it demonstrates how people can safely transact very valuable assets in less than 5 seconds without expensive fees. stellar is being used at the core of our application to transact money among users and make withdrawals to external stellar addresses.
we also believe in the benefits and transparency that open source brings to the world. we have all of our [frontend](https://github.com/skyhitz/mobile) and [backend](https://github.com/skyhitz/api) code open to the public so they can learn how to create a stellar app.

### **description**
usually when i try to explain to someone what blockchain is and what benefits it has, they don’t understand the concept.
when i understood the blockchain concept my first thought was: *“why ordinary people like my parents or my sister are not using this? why can’t i go to a grocery store and pay with blockchain?”*
this is when i thought: *“how can i make the payments with blockchain, something common to everybody's day?”*
this is our mission, that's how wolfchain was born.
wolfchain is a platform where you can buy, sell, exchange, send and receive currencies, made easy, made close to people. a platform where the only thing you have to do is create an account and start operating.
we want to bring blockchain to stores, ecommerces, applications, etc. that’s why we also want to create a tool for accepting payments, easy to use and easy to implement in an ecommerce or a store.
in our platform people can use ordinary currencies like euro, us dollar and cryptocurrencies, also we are working to add more coins soon.
deep investigation lead us to discover this community and this platform, stellar network, a blockchain that makes it possible for us to carry out our idea. bringing fast, simple and secure payments to everyone.
we have launched an alpha version [wolfchain.dev](https://wolfchain.dev). you can signup and get your own user or use the following:
user: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
password: st3ll4r!
you can also put fake data and photos and create a new user to test our web, it will now be automatically verified.
now the web is using stellar testnet and paypal sandbox
paypal credentials:
user: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
password: xaex-xii0
### **answers & questions**
**what is wolfchain?**
the current objective is to have a place where you can manage your wallet, carry out operations, etc.,
but focused on a user who does not know the blockchain environment.
if we really want non-blockchain-users to use it, they must be allowed to do more, and they must be shown that there are more options than just trading; that's why wolfchain is not just a place to access your wallet, wolfchain is also a payment gateway, physically and online, a place where anyone regardless of their knowledge can use stellar.
**what values is wolfchain adding to the stellar community?**
it is true that we have focused our project on people who doare not familiar with the blockchain environment, but we also want to allow the existing community to use our project, we want to allow adding assets, using your already created wallet or even accessing other stellar places in a way fast with our extension, even integrating tools already created by the community to see more advanced aspects.
**more description:**
we are not just an exchange - dex is a small part of our website. our idea is to develop a much friendlier environment for people who are not used to cryptocurrencies. we tested it with friends who do not know the crypto environment and knew how to manage , understood how to enter or how to exchange.
we want to create a payment gateway both physically and virtually so that all types of business can implement it. create a plugin from wordpress, shopify, etc.
we want to create a chrome extension to be able to access other sites through stellar and to be able to pay on the websites that use our gateway quickly.
during this week we have asked several people in our environment, when entering other exchanges or even on our website when seeing transaction ids, wallet addresses do not understand exactly what they are or what they are doing.
we are aiming for a simple interface.
we want to make it as friendly as a bank, save wallets names to be able to recognize from who you receive or who you send, just like a bank “you have received € 98.00 from marta”, “you have spent € 34.65 in the cloth store”
you can not buy eth, btc on our website. you can buy or add fiat currencies and then exchange them. from what i have been able to see, this purchase is allowed by paypal and once paypal confirms the payment, from our issuer we send the purchased currency to be euro , dollar or pound sterling.
**app:**
in the app you can find the same thing we have on our website, also with a friendly and understandable design for everyone.
in the case of mobile phones with a fingerprint reader, a transaction can be signed by reading the fingerprint. 2fa faster than email or sms
**extension:**
using the extension you can make basic movements and see your account in a basic way, to obtain the balances quickly and without having to continuously login. what will be most useful to the extension is that when you pay in a store through our payment gateway, you will be able to confirm the payment from the extension, making paying much easier, faster and safer.
**payment gateway:**
it would be divided into two parts. the first one, oriented to e-commerces; we want to make it easy to implement, with a wordpress and shopify plugin. the second one would be a pos for physical stores; we want to develop a hardware that through nfc allows to pay by bringing the mobile closer. in my country, physical pos are not usually liked by businesses because the rates are very high and have a high monthly cost.
### **transparency:**
on our platform you can put and remove assets instantly since we always keep all the liquidity, when someone adds funds we do not use those funds, they stay in the account to pay future withdrawals, in this way we ensure that the liquidity in the network be the same as in our paypal account or bank account.
**we will never use your money.**
you can always obtain the secret of the wallet in a secure way by confirming the password.
the user can choose to save the wallet in our database or save it locally using the app or the chrome extension. we want you to always have complete freedom and access to your funds.
**design**
we have been researching two types of design, flat and neumorphism, we also have two themes, light and dark mode.

**features**
view your balance and transactions (dashboard):
this is a transaction model design and a balance graph very easy to use and intuitive.

send
a place to send your assets to another wallet

receive
a place to get your wallet address and a qr code

dex - exchange
a place to exchange your assets

buy
buy eur, usd, gbp via paypal

**transactions viewers**
watch transaction status and information
send and receive

exchange order

prices
a page for seeing all blockchain info including the actual currency exchange rate.

about us
hey, i'm jordi, i'm from mallorca, spain and i'm 19 years old. i have always liked to innovate and look for new ideas, new fields to explore, blockchain has been one of those for a long time that caught my attention. at 17 i applied to a technology campus, emprenbit where we had to present an entrepreneurial idea, i won the first prize and i saw what i liked to undertake. also as an emprenbit award i was a speaker at the miroincube hackathon.

i’m christian from mallorca, i’m 23 years old, i started getting interested in blockchain’s world 1 year ago. i knew that this was the future.at first, it was really hard for me to understand how to use blockchain, so i asked myself , “why don’t you make a web application easy to use for everybody?” wolfchain is that application…

this year we had to deliver a final grade project, we decided to create wolfchain, we liked the project so much that we wanted to take it to another scale, to make a large, useful project for everyone.
we studied medium grade: “it management”, and high grade: “web developer” at “es liceu” in mallorca, which allowed us bringing wolfchain to life.
we are currently presenting the project in a business incubator of the government of the balearic islands, our province, there they will advise us both legally and business. the [“fundació bit”](http://emprenbit.org/?idi=3) incubator is subsidized by the european commission and the government of spain, so they will also require us to comply with all laws and regulations.

"text": "[tyvdh](https://galactictalk.org/d/2413/2) \n\nthank you very much for the feedback. 😃\n\n\nwe are not just an exchange - dex is a small part of our website. our idea is to develop a much friendlier environment for people who are not used to cryptocurrencies. we tested it with friends who do not know the crypto environment and knew how to manage , understood how to enter or how to exchange. \n\nwe want to create a payment gateway both physically and virtually so that all types of business can implement it. create a plugin from wordpress, shopify, etc. \n\nwe want to create a chrome extension to be able to access other sites through stellar and to be able to pay on the websites that use our gateway quickly. \n\nduring this week we have asked several people in our environment, when entering other exchanges or even on our website when seeing transaction ids, wallet addresses do not understand exactly what they are or what they are doing.\n\n\nwe are aiming for a simple interface.\n\n\nwe want to make it as friendly as a bank, save wallets names to be able to recognize from who you receive or who you send, just like a bank “you have received € 98.00 from marta”, “you have spent € 34.65 in the cloth store”\n\n\nyou can not buy eth, btc on our website. you can buy or add fiat currencies and then exchange them. from what i have been able to see, this purchase is allowed by paypal and once paypal confirms the payment, from our issuer we send the purchased currency to be euro , dollar or pound sterling.\n\n\nright now, at least in my country (spain), paypal does not have any rule against buying cryptocurrencies. \n\ni have personally researched about the stellar ecosystem, i have looked at the exchanges, anchors. i know the exchanges you mention, and although they are very advanced and very good, i believe that it is more focused on a trader or people with a more extensive knowledge of blockchain. stellar x, for instance, is very user-friendly but it is more focused on traders; it includes graphs, statistics and trader terminology. i believe that, not being english speakers we have not been able to explain our project well. we have added more content trying to make it more easily understandable. one of the reasons we seek financing is to be able to better advise ourselves legally.\n\n\n",

5fe44f25c4193e223d3cd18766e4ccc3 | hello galactic talkers!
when i first started the forum, i was doing all the moderating myself. as time went on, more users joined and i got overwhelmed checking the forum multiple times a day to remove unwanted content. i noticed a few users that were more active than others, so i trusted them with moderating rights. they have been really helpful over the years and i want to thank all of them.
i never engaged much with the moderators or gave them clear tasks. their judgment was always enough to keep galactictalk in a good shape. i also think that i missed an opportunity here, to create friendships and a strong core team. together we can do so much more. i will be reaching out to them in the coming weeks with my plans for galactictalk's future, and want to more actively involve them in decision making.
**i would also like to expand the mod team again and am looking for volunteers to join. if you are interested please send your application to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). just write a few sentences why you would like to be a gt moderator.**
### why become a moderator?
not only would you get the cool badge next to your profile picture, you would help in actively shaping the future of galactictalk and the stellar community. i will be also creating an exclusive mods section on the forum so we can work together. looking forward to meet you! cheers.

cd2c0276d155aff8f119d0d2a9f85de3 | ### **image header:**

### **project title:**
picl - fast knowledge sharing
### **summary:**
picl is a chat app that allows professionals in any industry to offer micro-consulting to their own clients or the general public.
### **category:**
applications, tools, infrastructure
### **goals:**
**business goals:**
1) allow anyone to get instant help with any issue they may be facing.
2) make it easy for clients to get help from professionals with whom they already have a relationship, at a lower cost than a full session/consultation and without the trouble of scheduling and commuting.
3) allow professionals to answer questions that their clients have, while still generating revenue.
4) provide professionals the opportunity to build a good reputation by doing pro bono work, which can also double as lead generation.
5) facilitating points 1-4 on a global scale by using a borderless currency... xlm.
**philanthropic goals:**
the picl concept was originally inspired by the need to assist students in real-time, while considering the reality that most students across the globe are under-resourced and lack a strong support network. since its inception, the scope of picl has been expanded to include all essential services that draw upon professional networks.
most people globally are not lucky enough to even have access to such networks. they are born into under-resourced circumstances and are held back through a lack of understanding of their options and how to navigate their way through them.
in this way, opportunity is centralized around regions, as opposed to be evenly distributed across the globe. currently, the ultimate determining factor of the probability of one’s success in life is the geo-location at which they are born. this archaic determining factor needs to be supplanted by ability and determination. it is picl’s goal to bring about this change.
### **timeline:**
**step 1:** run a pilot in the bay area. the goal will be to facilitate at least 100 interactions over a 4 week period, across at least three industries. this will take place during july/august (corvid-19 permitting). the award of lumens will be used to fund this pilot, including the give-away of free lumens to all new users to facilitate adoption.
**step 2:** the next phase will be to seek out a seed round to employ additional capacity to improve on the current mvp and to approach more professionals and consultants to introduce picl to their client base. deposit and withdrawal facilities on the app will be improved so that users do not need to fund their account via a 3rd party exchange. marketing to promote the services offered by those professionals already on the app will further stimulate client adoption, as well as generate success stories of clients saving time & money and professionals generating additional income.
**step 3:** promote picl in low-income communities to fulfill the social impact objective of picl. the starting point for this will be in linking universities with communities with poor learning infrastructure. universities are the ideal starting point as they are centers of social change, as well as emerging professionals, many of whom want to have a positive impact on society. the three universities that will make up this initial focus are: brook university (toronto), stanford and the university of cape town.
### **description:**
**what does picl enable users to do?**
picl allows any user to post a description or pic of a problem that they are experiencing, which displays in a chat thread. this streams into the threads of a number of users as a public picl, or can be sent to a specific user as a direct picl. any one of the targeted users can accept the picl and begin helping the op. when the op accepts the response, after having engaged with the assisting user within the chat thread, the xlm transaction completes.
additionally, picl can be used as a wallet to transfer lumens directly to another picl user, or to an off-platform steller account.
the following are some examples of this in action:
legal firm: a small law firm has 200 clients. they have meetings with their clients, draw up contracts for them, etc. however, their clients often have quick questions about what was discussed or a clause in a contract they are struggling with. this may not be a big enough issue to setup a meeting. however, they need to ask a question without the cost of a full consultation. the client takes a pic of the clause, with a question about it. their lawyer responds with that one liner that brings it all together. the lawyer gets paid for their time, but the client doesn't have to pay for a full consultation or suffer unpredictable billing, plus the whole interaction is over within the time it would otherwise take to simply schedule a consultation or draw up an email.
new mother: she is standing in a baby store staring at fifty different brands of formula milk. which one does she buy??? the summer job shop assistant shrugs their shoulders, while putting more effort into chewing their gum than helping her out. time to ask a network of mothers who will be able to share their experience and advice in minutes.
student: the final exam is tomorrow. an engineering student has forgotten when and how to apply green's theorem to find the potential for a charge distribution. the textbook is letting them down and it's 11pm. time to ask the world for help.
people are getting stuck on small problems everyday. sometimes these problems need quick answers, but searching for the solution results in pages of irrelevant info. until ai advances far beyond its current state, we can understand and speak to one another in a way that a search result cannot.
picl enables people to help each other, no matter who or where they are in the world.
**why is picl valuable for stellar?**
one of stellar’s challenges is adoption (as for all crypto-currencies).
to stimulate uptake, picl would provide each new user with a small amount of free xlm upon registration, and subsequent xlm ‘airdrops’ for high engagement accounts.
a closed earning/spending system, such as picl, can facilitate adoption by providing both the source of and need for xlm (a closed one to one system).
once such a system has reached a critical mass of users, their spending power can be directed towards other platforms. this paves the way for a new or existing xlm pay-gate that can link that system’s spending power to other platforms, such as amazon.
at this point, the pay-gate becomes the central driver of adoption, by opening up a many to many network of value exchange, while the original system (picl in this case) becomes one of the platforms (no longer a closed system) for the utilization of xlm.
**why does your project use stellar?**
i started working on picl in october 2017. at that stage i had only ever heard of bitcoin and didn't know much about blockchain or dlt. i started out with a virtual token and got on with the business of building the rest of the app. by the end of 2018 (i've been building picl on my weekends), i was far more familiar with the crypto-industry and, in particular, the speed afforded by dlt. it was time to leverage a dlt based token to bring a real value token into picl. why dlt, because of speed. that was my foremost requirement. the whole concept of picl is built around fast knowledge sharing 'transactions', therefore the currency that backed that had to be just as fast. of the two leading dlt options i could choose from to integrate into picl, steller won out. this was based on it's more open and well documented developer tools, and one of its core values being a social mandate to reach the global unbanked.
### **links:**
picl has a simple info page that can be visited [here](https://picl.website/) (not much to see at the moment, but the video may provide some entertainment).
the picl app is currently available as a beta version on the [google play store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=website.picl.picl).
i encourage android users to install it, 3 free lumens await 😉
access is currently only set for the usa, canada, uk and south africa, with a maximum of 1000 downloads allowed.
upon installing picl, you will find a few bits of info within the app to give you some context, however the below terminology will further assist you in finding your way around the app:
**picl**: the app.
**picl**: the user’s problem or the chat room they create to get help.
**op (client)**: “original poster”. the person in a pickle. they create a picl.
**assistant (professional)**: the person who helps the op. they accept the picl.
note: a user can switch between being an op or assistant on one profile.
**accepting a picl**: this is either done by the assistant to start helping the op, or by the op to accept the assistant’s help.
**rejecting a picl**: this is either done by the assistant to dismiss a picl (before they have started helping), or by the op to reject the help that an assistant has given.
**picl lists**:
• **picl stream (assistant)**: this is where an assistant can view all picls available for them to accept or reject (both public and direct picls).
• **active picls (op and assistant)**: for ops this is where the picls they have created and the ones that have been accepted by the assistant are displayed. for assistants, this is where the picls that they have accepted are displayed.
• **archive (op and assistant)**: for ops, this is where picls they have accepted are displayed. for assistants, this is where picls that they helped with that have either been accepted or rejected, are displayed.
**public picl**: a picl that everyone can see. the first assistant to accept it gets to help the op. it has a standard rate of 1 lumen (in the beta version) and if an op doesn’t accept an assistant’s help, it will be relaunched automatically for the next assistant to accept.
**direct picl**: a picl that is sent to a specific assistant and is charged at that assistant’s picl rate. if it is rejected by the op, it will not automatically be reposted, and the op will only get a 50% refund of the assistant’s rate. the op may choose to relaunch a direct picl after they have rejected it. however, this will need to be paid for in addition to any lumens already spent.
**direct picl rate**: the rate that an assistant sets in their wallet that is charged to ops when they send them a direct picl.
**direct picl code**: every user has a unique code displayed in their wallet. this is given to other users so that they can send them a direct picl. the user can also choose to have this code displayed in the summary of public picls that they assist ops with.
note: lumens can also be transferred from one account to another by using a user’s direct code.
**star rating:** this is a rating out of 5. only public picls that you assist with contribute to this.
**tags**: in picl, you will see the use of tags when creating your picl. they are used to target a more specific subset of assistants when releasing a public picl. they are purely decorative for direct picls.
**notifications**: sent for transactions, message received in public or direct picls and for when a direct picl is received. you will not be notified when public picls appear in your picl stream.

"text": "[samuelconner](https://galactictalk.org/d/2322/7) from picl's inception the idea has been to focus on the tertiary education space as an entry point. this is based on this market being a concentration of people who both need quick assistance with study related problems, as well as those who can offer that assistance (who in turn could also require assistance). this microcosm is also more likely to adopt new ideas and practices. even then, however, forging new connections/interactions on a new platform is a double hurdle. as such, leveraging existing connections between tutors and their clients could increase the chance of adoption by removing one barrier. \n\nthe pitch to tutors would be to alert their clients to picl as an additional support tool, away from their scheduled sessions. based on traction at this level, wider promotion across campuses would be driven. \n\nthereafter, professionals would be approached to aid in assisting students, particularly sectors such as legal and medical. this would promote a quora-like community interaction. the final step would be to direct these professionals towards promoting their picl pressense to their clients.\n\n\ni predict the leap off campus to be the biggest challenge. however, even within the confines of campuses, the model holds.\n\n\nthe point you raise about a graveyard of unattended requests is a good one. this is where the concept of a 'direct picl' enters. the idea is that enduring connections are created on the platform and revisited time and again. the 'public picl' acts as a philanhtopic and/or lead generating channel. think tutors trawling the public picls looking to impress prospective clients, who would then move to a direct picl channel thereafter. \n\nto further mitigate the graveyard effect, admin tutors could easily be recruited to maintain a minimum amount of 'life' in the system. these tutors would be incentivised through the same exchange of value that any other tutor would be.\n\n ",

43da542d23e76d752ce3f8609c254215 | i created this token to use as utility for the golf industry on stellarmint. my intention with this project was to create an online booking site similar to golfnow or teeoff that would accept 5-10 cryptocurrencies and glx would be used more as a loyalty reward. this was started in 2018 and my dev team didn't produce. i'm just a blockchain/golf enthusiast that sees real potential with this union. public courses could save tons of money on processing fees and much more.
since i have already had some new issues finding a developer i have decided to pivot with this project and just act as a wallet swap. i would provided courses with tablets and golfers could pay with their wallet. the lobstr app would be loaded on each tablet for payment. creating another wallet with similar functions is not an interest to me at the moment.
i am committed to the stellar network and would love if anyone has any ideas on how to make this happen. in 2018 i went to several courses and discussed the concept and it was too early to penetrate that industry and it was in the wake of negative press and did not have the traction it needed to get off the ground. i created the standard erc20 protocol for glx on ethereum.
i have been a fan of stellar since 2017 and would love to potentially add value to the network. one of my major concerns is fraud and scams so i would love some guidance on how i can be sure this doesn't happen.
thanks jen

### introduction
share-ledgers record ownership of companies, and most often, companies are legally obliged to keep these share-ledgers readily available to all shareholders and government officials. share-ledgers constitute the highest legal proof of the ownership – if your name is in the newest version, legally, you are the owner. however, the keepers of share-ledger are not required to adhere to a set standard method, and people can use paper, spreadsheet programs, or dedicated services.
in some areas, such as the eu, anti money laundering laws have increasingly been put in place to increase transparency and make ownership records public with mandatory registration of beneficial ownership. this registration requires companies to record direct ownership of shares as well as indirect owners, voting rights, and control through related parties.
the different methods people use to maintain records make it hard for the government to sustain adequate oversight. governments struggle to keep files up to date and rely on self-reporting from shareholders who see it as tedious and a non-value adding task. the result is a problem that creates inefficiencies that result in both economic and societal costs. these inefficiencies hamper the growth of businesses and make the current system prone to corruption.
a share-ledger system built on stellar will allow owners to control their shares while keeping the officials updated in real-time without extra effort and receive benefits from keeping their records neat and tidy. our platform will increase the value and liquidity of shares for the owners and lower government costs.
### background
all private limited liability companies (smes) in iceland are required to do the following:
register the llc with the government registry and get an official id number. (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

summary
-------
cosmic.link is the next-gen solution for signing stellar transactions from various applications without granting them control over your account.
cosmic.link is user-friendly, open-source, vendor-neutral, community-designed, and production-ready.
[live example](https://cosmic.link/?type=changetrust&network=test&memo=hello,%20world!&maxtime=+5&asset=gils:gils*cosmic.plus)
goals
-----
* provide a user-friendly yet secure way to explore the stellar ecosystem.
* provide a standardized solution for passing transaction requests between applications and wallets.
* provide useful open-source libraries to the community.
* raise awareness around issues related to asymmetric cryptography & the cryptocurrency security model.
* more specifically, raise awareness around the one golden rule in crypto: *"never share your private key!"*.
at that time, those goals have been met − except of course the part about informing the community which is a never-ending task. most of the work is currently focused on continuous improvement, communication, and partnerships.
description
-----------
cosmiclink is a project made of several components: an open protocol, a web front-end and several open-source libraries.
please keep in mind that the front-end ([cosmic.link](https://cosmic.link)) is only the emerged part of the iceberg.
### what is cosmic.link?
cosmic.link is a solution for signing stellar transactions from various applications without granting them control over your account.
each cosmiclink contains a request that is displayed on your screen. then, you can pass it to your wallet where the transaction can be double-checked & safely signed.
your secret key never leaves your wallet, as it is meant to be.
### why cosmic.link?
before cosmic.link, stellar applications had two ways to have you sign transactions:
* have you create and fund a new stellar account, which they would control.
* ask for your secret key.
having as many accounts as applications is painful, and sharing secret keys is dangerous. cosmic.link solved it all thanks to an innovative solution: transaction requests.
### how does cosmic.link work?
transaction requests get encoded into what is called a `query string` for the purpose of passing them into normal web links:
```
?type=payment&destination=tips*cosmic.link&amount=20
```
transaction requests can then get passed to any compatible service by using their address:
```
https://cosmic.link/${tx_request}
${handler}${tx_request}
```
when applications generate those links, they choose which handler to use (it doesn't have to be cosmic.link). here's, for example, the request on the [cosmic-lib demo interface](https://cosmic.plus/js-cosmic-lib/web/demo?type=payment&network=test&memo=hello,%20world!&destination=tips*cosmic.link&amount=20).
in some cases, it is possible to pass the request directly to the users' wallets. for example, here's the same request pointed at [stellar authenticator](https://stellar-authenticator.org/?type=payment&network=test&memo=hello,%20world!&destination=tips*cosmic.link&amount=20). (you can view it by clicking `guest mode`)
in other cases, wallets don't use the same format for transaction requests, and conversion has to happen. cosmic.link does it under the hood.
### which services are compatible?
thanks to its open design, cosmiclinks can be implemented in any software, independently from any organization or service. there's a growing list of compatible services, some of them being well-known to the community:
**applications:**
* [equilibre.io](https://equilibre.io): portfolio balancer.
* [cgig.app](https://cgig.app): stellar marketplace.
* [stellarpay.com](https://checkout.stellarpay.io/demo/): shopify payment plugin.
* [lumenthropy.com](https://lumenthropy.com): donations to ngo.
* [publicnode.org](https://publicnode.org): community full nodes.
* [r/stellar photons](https://www.reddit.com/r/stellar/comments/e1mek9/rstellar_community_points_on_stellar_blockchain/): reddit community points for stellar.
* [nicetrade.co](https://nicetrade.co): stellar decentralized exchange interface.
**wallets:**
* [ledger wallet](https://www.ledger.com/)
* [trezor](https://trezor.io)
* [stellar authenticator](https://stellar-authenticator.org)
* [keybase](https://keybase.io)
* [lobstr](https://lobstr.co)*
* [stellarterm](https://stellarterm.com)*
* [stellar laboratory](https://www.stellar.org/laboratory) (dev tool)
**: for now, those wallets only support a subset of possible transactions.*
libraries
---------
[cosmic.plus philosophy](https://cosmic.plus/#about) is to provide the community with as many reusable components as possible. some of them are among the most downloaded stellar libraries, which is greatly motivating!
the following libraries have been developed in the context of the cosmiclink project:
### cosmic-lib
this is the javascript implementation of cosmiclinks. it features helpers to create transaction requests:
```
const { cosmiclink } = require("cosmic-lib")
// create a request.
const txrequest = new cosmiclink({
network: "test",
memo: "hello, world!",
maxtime: "+5"
}).addoperation("payment", {
destination: "tips*cosmic.plus",
amount: 20
})
// open the signing interface.
txrequest.open()
```
it also provides helpers for wallets to receive and sign transactions:
```
const { cosmiclink } = require("cosmic-lib")
// configuration.
const network = "public"
const source = keypair.publickey()
// parse, sign & send the transaction.
const txrequest = new cosmiclink(location.search)
await txrequest.lock({ network, source })
txrequest.sign(keypair)
const response = await txrequest.send()
```
[open the documentation](https://cosmic.plus/#view:js-cosmic-lib/web/doc/)
### @cosmic-plus/ledger-wallet, @cosmic-plus/trezor-wallet
popular hardware wallets support, as simple as it can be:
```
const ledgerwallet = require("@cosmic-plus/ledger-wallet")
// connect with the device.
await ledgerwallet.connect()
// get the public key.
const pubkey = ledgerwallet.publickey
// sign a transaction.
await ledgerwallet.sign(transaction)
```
[open the documentation](https://cosmic.plus/#view:js-ledger-wallet/)
### @cosmic-plus/tx-result
a convenient helper that tells you if a transaction has been validated, and if not, what went wrong:
```
const txresult = require("@cosmic-plus/tx-result")
const result = new txresult(horizontxresponse)
// {
// validated: false,
// title: "the transaction has been rejected",
// errors: [
// "operation 1: the destination account doesn't exist."
// ]
// }
```

other contributions
-------------------
the very nature of cosmiclink is to make connections with other developers and open-source projects.
as the cosmic.link maintainer, i'm constantly checking over projects such as `stellar-sdk`, `@ledgerhq` and `trezor-connect`.
i'm writing bug reports and pull requests to them when necessary. lately, this led to major improvements in trezor wallet support. at that time, i'm working on getting the new stellar operations into ledger & trezor firmware (`managebuyoffer`, `pathpaymentstrictsend`). [#ledger](https://github.com/ledgerhq/ledger-app-stellar/pull/6) [#trezor](https://github.com/trezor/trezor-firmware/pull/627)
i'm also cooperating with community projects that are looking into using cosmic.link. for example, i've recently worked with `stellarauth`, `stellarpay`, `lumenthropy`, `publicnode`, and `r/stellar community`.
future
------
the development of cosmiclink is centric to cosmic.plus (hence the name). it's been continuously developed since two years, and there's more ahead. here are the ongoing developments:
* publish comprehensive, not-so-technical documentation.
* ~~publish explanations about how to host an alternative cosmiclink relay.~~
* publish a library that makes high-level integration even easier.
* ~~publish a txrequest library that doesn't depend on stellarsdk (450kb).~~
* design a solution for applications to acquire user publickey/wallet.
* provide helpers for short-circuiting cosmic.link (direct application-wallet communication).

because asking for a public key and then using a delegated signing to confirm the transactions is the worst ux i can imagine. \n\n*case: a new user wants to check the current account balance, see open orders, and maybe exchange some assets.* and when she clicks \"login\", the browser redirects her on some third-party website that proposes to sign a suspicious transaction that she didn't request. such behavior will definitely scare away most users.\n4. poor onboarding flow for new users. \n\n*case: a new user decided to explore stellarterm and see how it works.* when she clicks the login button, the browser redirects her to the cosmiclink website, which is literally hostile to newcomers. what transaction should she sign if she doesn't have any stellar account in the first place? what's the signing method, and which one she supposed to choose, \"stellar laboratory\" or \"copy/paste xdr\"? what does the \"register as web+stellar links handler (sep-0007)\" means? what's an \"automatic redirection\"? i'm developing on stellar for years, have read through all available documentation and standards, but some things are not entirely clear even for me. for newcomers, this may be a huge stopper. and i doubt that stellarterm or any other popular stellar application will be eager to lose ten times more users during the onboarding. it is complex enough process with a low conversion rate even without the delegated signing.\n5. how do you suppose to support mobile platforms? maybe this is covered somewhere, but i didn't find. opening a cosmiclink url from the app is pretty straightforward, but what about returning the response back to the caller application once the transaction is signed? this can be partially addressed with a message like *\"now please close this browser tab and return to the application that requested the transaction signature\"*, although that's so depressing to see such ux in the 2020s. also, what if the application needs the signed transaction back, like in the case of multi-sig aggregation or the public key request(see #3)? i can think of several workarounds, yet each of them requires jumping through hoops. without a unified ux on web and native mobile apps, this all looks questionable.\n\n\nsumming it all up, as i see it, cosmiclink may be used only as an **additional** option (**not for login**, only for transaction signing), and almost exclusively by **advanced** users with an **existing** stellar account. that's like 2-3% of all stellar users at best, not counting ecosystem developers. i'm pretty certain that until the described ux problems are solved, most ecosystems apps will be reluctant to replace their existing key management strategies (namely, requesting the secret key each time or storing it on the server-side) with your service. i'm obviously biased here, but this looks more like a neat playground for developers than a production-ready app for regular users.\n\n\nagain, you most likely know about the limitations of your approach since you are working on this for more than a year. in this context, your attacks on other ecosystem applications look really odd.\n\n",

"text": "i'll go through ux questions. remember that i never claimed that cosmic.link is perfect, and in fact, there are many improvements on the way. yet, i think that it offers a satisfying yet secure experience to its 1.5k regular users, and i invite you to [experience it by yourself](https://equilibre.io).\n\n\nsome improvements on my roadmap:\n\n\n\n> [misterticot](https://galactictalk.org/d/2211/1)\n> \n> \n> * publish a txrequest library that doesn't depend on stellarsdk (450kb).\n> * design a solution for applications to acquire user publickey/wallet.\n> * provide helpers for short-circuiting cosmic.link (direct application-wallet communication).\n> \n\n\n\n> [orbitlens](https://galactictalk.org/d/2211/5)\n> \n> \n> 1. each action takes a lot of time and requires multiple confirmations. case: a user wants to remove two active dex offers and place a new one. each time she has to wait for the redirect to cosmiclink website, confirm the transaction, wait for the redirect to, say, a sep-0007 wallet, confirm the transaction again (this a required step, i guess there is no need to explain why this is important), provide her credentials, press \"submit\", and wait for the redirect back to stellarterm. repeat this 3 times yourself and you will understand why this is frustrating.\n> \n\n\n1. it is possible to shortcut cosmic.link and go directly to the wallet. as mentioned, i'll release helpers to make this easier to implement. nowadays, cosmic.link offers an `automatic redirection` option that shortcuts its interface as well (although technically it goes through cosmic.link).\n2. now, the issue of having to sign each transaction also happens with hardware wallets, which is the very ux delegated signing is meant to mimic. an option here is to pack actions together and to offer to sign everything at once.\n\n\n\n> 2. single-page applications (like stellarterm, stellarx, lobstr, and many others) rely on the client-side state. when a redirect occurs, the application is unloaded and loses the entire current state. so it either needs to encode and transfer the state in the callback url, or save it temporarily somewhere, for example, in the browser local storage. [...]\n> \n\n\n[equilibre.io](https://equilibre.io) is a single-page application that uses delegated signing, [nicetrade.co](https://nicetrade.co) is another one. none of those suffers the drawback you described here as they don't use redirection but iframes or popups. something you can do, when apps have no critical information anymore, is to store client-side state into `localstorage` which keeps data over sessions (the aforementioned apps do so).\n\n\n\n> there is no way to retrieve the user's public key. \n> \n> the only way to implement this with your current logic is to ask a user to sign, say, an empty transaction. we won't ask a user to input the public key directly, right? because asking for a public key and then using a delegated signing to confirm the transactions is the worst ux i can imagine. [...]\n> \n> \n\n\nin [equilibre.io](https://equilibre.io), i simply ask for pubkey/federated. this is similar to what many wallets implement as *read-only accounts*, and transaction signing is required only for *writing*. one nice trick is that we can standardize the pubkey/address field `id` attribute, and leverage browser auto-filling to get a cheap yet efficient *read-only* login solution (sign in with pubkey). the browser will propose your addresses across websites the same way it does with emails.\n\n\n[nicetrade.co](https://nicetrade.co) proposes either login with public key (works as described) or with sep10, in which case delegated signing `callback` property is leveraged (available in both sep7 and cosmiclink). we discussed the fact that sep10 transactions don't make their purpose very clear (a `network: won't be validated` could be clearer). this is mostly a sep10-related problem.\n\n\nin any case, those 2 options have room for improvement. option 1 could be improved by cosmiclink passing pubkeys to the application providing user grant permission, and option 2 could be improved by adding specific ux constraints to sep10 (a specific way to display sep10 tx to users).\n\n\n\n> 4. poor onboarding flow for new users. \n> \n> case: a new user decided to explore stellarterm and see how it works. when she clicks the login button, the browser redirects her to the cosmiclink website, which is literally hostile to newcomers. what transaction should she sign if she doesn't have any stellar account in the first place? what's the signing method, and which one she supposed to choose, \"stellar laboratory\" or \"copy/paste xdr\"? what does the \"register as web+stellar links handler (sep-0007)\" means? what's an \"automatic redirection\"? [...]\n> \n\n\nthis pertains to the cosmic.link ui itself rather than delegated signing. i'm in the process of upgrading the client-side framework i used for equilibre.io and to port cosmic.link & stellarauthenticator on top of it. then, i'll improve the cosmic.link ui.\n\n\nit is also possible to develop an alternative ui on top of `cosmic-lib` and other cosmic.plus libraries, which provides most of the cosmic.link logic at that point.\n\n\n\n> how do you suppose to support mobile platforms? maybe this is covered somewhere, but i didn't find. opening a cosmiclink url from the app is pretty straightforward, but what about returning the response back to the caller application once the transaction is signed? [...]\n> \n> \n\n\nthat's what the `callback` parameter is for. there is also the option of listening for transaction submission from the parent frame, which is something i'd like to implement but designing it is somewhat of a puzzle given the number of configurations involved. we already found out some cases will have to be left unsupported (mobile signing + callback that don't submit = impossible to catch submission from parent frame).\n\n\n\n> [orbitlens](https://galactictalk.org/d/2211/7) [...] but this is not essential because copy-pasting secret at least once is potentially almost as dangerous as using it all the time. the fact is that copy-pasting is ubiquitous and it can't be easily addressed right now because the existing ecosystem tools are not mature enough.\n> \n> \n\n\nmany applications have addressed it already in many ways, and i'd advise against using \"it's difficult\" as an excuse for not implementing solid security. in fact, any excuse that goes toward lesser security should be looked at as suspicious, as in most cases it doesn't hold the test of healthy reasoning.\n\n\n\n> i can start a new thread if you like, as discussing theoretical problems of the whole ecosystem in the stellarterm thread doesn't seem right to me, especially after that heated dispute. moreover, can we please just turn this page and continue debating on the things that really matter for the future? i'm genuinely interested in your opinion about improving delegated signer flow, and it would be cool to hear your thoughts on the highlighted problems as i'm engaged in this matter myself.\n> \n> \n\n\nthen let's do just that!\n\n",

of the signer is guaranteed. \n\n*set of condition (1):* the private key hasn't been shared.\n\n\nthat's how keypairs are meant to be used, this has been settled by scientists & experts more than 25 years ago and i don't think there's any debate going on on that matter.\n\n\nif the set of condition is not respected, then the security model is broken.\n\n\ni agree that there are cases where it doesn't matter so much, but wallets in production are not one of these.\n\n\nif one is looking for a well-implemented usage of cryptographic keypairs, gpg is the way to go. it protects identities, not money, but still: devs were serious and did things \"the right way\".\n\n\ni reiterate my belief that cryptocurrency applications which doesn't respect this security model will hit a disastrous fail on their way toward mass adoption.\n\n",

the public key request form is the first login step at equilibre!\n\n\n\n\n\nso looks like a user still needs to save public key somewhere (or setup a federation record on some third-party service) and the signer app itself is not sufficient for the login. you should know about this tiny nuisance as you are the author of that application, right? so what's the point of denying the obvious facts and trying to spoof the context? it looks like an attempt to ignore anything that doesn't fall in line with your agenda.\n\n\n\n> there's no configuration under which equilibre.io requires 3 browser redirections + providing credential for tx signing.\n> \n> \n\n\nreality denial? let's try to count together. a series of screenshots below shows the transaction signing process using lobstr wallet (the steps will be similar for any other wallet or sep-7 link handler).\n\n\n\n\n\nso... we've seen three browser redirects (or subsequent page loads if you like – loading something in iframe is essentially the same as loading a new browser page), the last screen shows the credentials request form. do forget about one more redirect back to the original site once the transaction was submitted. of course, equilibre does not request any credentials itself (and it shouldn't as delegated signing is all about using other apps for login), but the flow implies that the target wallet always asks for user credentials to authenticate the transaction signing request. and that's exactly what i pointed earlier.\n\n\n\n> mature delegated signing tools are ready right now, and cosmic.link is production-ready since a year and a half.\n> \n> \n\n\ndespite the \"year and a half\" of development, it looks like a prototype coded by students on a hackathon. from my point of view, it is not ready for production usage because of several architectural flaws outlined above. it's a critical part of the ecosystem and adopting it as-is can do more harm than good.\n\n\n\n> here are solutions that have been used to prevent secret sharing, some of them since years:\n> \n> \n> * custodial wallet (papayabot)\n> * pubkey scanning (stargazer)\n> * payment request (stellarkey, stargazer)\n> * keystore (stellarport)\n> * key encryption + local storage (stellar authenticator)\n> * key encryption + distant storage (stellarx)\n> * xdr copy/pasting (stellarlaboratory, stellar authenticator)\n> * sep7 (keybase)\n> * sep10 (nicetrade)\n> * satoshipay (lumenthropy)\n> * cosmic.link (publicnode)\n> * payment plugins (stellarpay, swplug)\n> \n\n\n**each of these applications directly or indirectly requests the user's secret key at least once.** citing my original comment: *\"almost every single stellar-based app requests secret keys in order to sign transactions on behalf of the existing user's account\"*. i don't know how to make it even more clear, maybe a real-world example would help. i own a few stellar accounts myself. to use any of them with, say, stellar authenticator or keybase, i need to import my secret key to this application first. and the only way to do it is to copy-paste the secret key. only those secret keys created inside the app/wallet itself may never touch the clipboard (unless i need to import them somewhere else). therefore, almost any of the projects you mentioned can become the target of your righteous wrath since they allow me to import my secret key, right? or maybe you'll focus only on those participating in the current round of scf?\n\n\n*\"poor technical understanding\"* remarks look especially funny from someone who doesn't understand the basic security principles, and can't comprehend that sometimes associating a blockchain account with a real person (the case when malware intercepts public key on user's device) may be even more severe than stealing funds (malware intercepts secret key). all this public/secret key differentiation is based on the assumption that a person's public key is public knowledge and does not relate to the sensitive data. in the real world, news about journalist tortures and assassinations emerges with frightening regularity. a public key leakage may cost someone's life as it allows to associate blockchain account with a real person and track the transactions up to some fiat gateway. i can't understand how you can concentrate entirely on one side of the problem completely ignoring the other.\n\n\nlet's be honest – if an attacker installs malware on a user's device, the client-side security model is corrupted. delegated signing can't address this issue with 100% certainty. **the process of crypto signing in an untrusted environment is insecure.** period. therefore, the problem of copying secret keys itself has been intentionally exaggerated. i have a lot more to say, but this will be tiresome for all participants of the discussion. anyone who gets to this point should be able to grasp the essence of it.\n\n\nbuilding far-fetched postulates (quote: *\"...the copy/pasting habit itself is what makes most scams profitable\"*) not backed by real-world statistics (quote: *\"it doesn't take statistics to understand that\"*) is **unprofessional**. using such postulates as a foothold to promote own projects by attacking other developers is **unethical**. accusing others of profit-seeking at the expense of their users based on made-up arguments is **immoral**.\n\n\nas a closing note, just wanted to say that i hate the type of people who arrogantly start attacking others, throwing unmotivated accusations, passive-aggressive all-personal comments, and then playing bullying victims when pointed the inconsistency.\n\n",

([stellarexpertid](https://galactictalk.org/d/1192-stellarexpert-id-single-sign-on-app-and-tx-signer-for-stellar-network) got money from the [sbc#7](https://www.stellar.org/blog/stellar-build-challenge-7-results/#semi-finalists) and the [sdp](https://web.archive.org/web/20190312165451/https://www.stellar.org/roadmap/#ecosystem))\n6. my point was about solutions that don't *require* copy/pasting secrets, and you answered that all wallets need private keys to sign transactions. this is true but unrelated.\n7. my \"wrath\" was specifically about one well-known dev who went out of his way by promoting private keys copy/pasting as part of his scf strategy. so yes, it happened during scf.\n8. you're defending private keys disclosure and public keys protection in the same post. i guess you just invented the one-man-pincer-movement.\n9. i said that copy/pasting secrets is insecure and it is. i said that secrets are not meant to be shared and they aren't. ultimately, there are only two ways devs can figure that out: by thinking or by failing.\n10. here's your demonstration: even by doing things the right way some systems won't protect the secrets very well (namely windows) therefore misterticot intentionally exaggerated the issue of copy/pasting secrets. this is not actually logic, and you're not doing good at reading my intentions.\n11. security measures are rarely 100% effective. audits, peer reviews, firewalls, sandboxing, permissions, antivirus, antimalware, antispam, passwords... we only hope several layers of those will be enough to prevent or mitigate the consequences of breaches. let's see why proper keypair handling is worth implementing:\n\n\n\t* as i already explained, this is efficient in defending secrets in several scenarios - including on infected systems - which is in itself a sufficient reason.\n\t* even on insecure systems, people copy/pasting secrets will get harvested before people encrypting keys. security is not about being 100% but about doing better than that neighbor who leaves the doors wide open.\n\t* the threat i mentioned will make the news in a spectacular way sooner or later. why? because there will always be careless developers who don't understand an issue until it blows in their face. and that day, those people who red my article and understood it won't be part of the casualty. this is what \"informing users\" achieves.\n12. only hate is hateful.\n",

7693293ba6dd83d9df40ef40073b1503 | hello stellar community!
guess what… you now have the opportunity to fund a project related to indie game development, and be rewarded in the long run :-)
in the past few weeks i've set up a crowdfunding / mini-ico for friends & family only, but since time's running out i open up my invitation to more people.
i have put custom tokens on sale via the stellar’s inherent decentralized exchange (sdex).
those tokens will have two distinct functions, starting from january 1st 2019, as explained on this basic webpage:
<https://gaudia-tech.com/invest_xlm/>
/!\ this attempt to get funded will last 2 weeks only. remaining tokens will be destroyed after valentine's day, so i can focus on making it all happen for those that supported me!
what's the project all about?
i'm currently developing an indie game & a whole custom token-fueled, specialized distribution platform aimed at the gaming industry. i chose to use the stellar technology to do so!
also, i'm engaged right now in the process of creating a company named gaudia tech based in france, in order to collaborate with other devs, and get more "classic" financial backing.
i'm proud to announce that after careful thought, gaudia tech's destiny is to become a stellar anchor for eur, yay!
the <https://gaudia-tech.com/invest_xlm/> webpage explains how to buy gttpresale1.
you're very welcome to invest, especially if you want to see what kind of magic can happen by associating the stellar network to video games, through an extremely innovative software development!
considering the current price of xlm, the fact i will keep my word and reclaim those tokens 1€ each starting from january 1st 2019 (the automated system to do so will be hosted on gaudia-tech.com), this represents a safe investment that allows every xlm owner to earn money.
"safe" in the sense that the growth in value won't come from speculative activities (like this happens on cryptoexchanges e.g. coinbase, kraken, …) but rather from my hard work as an entrepreneur & indie game dev. i believe 100% that the project will reach completion.
in case you're doubting i have the technical skill to achieve this ambitious project, it may reassure you that i hold a phd degree in cs, that i've been working as an indie game dev for 3 years now, i've self-published two mobiles games and so on.
moreover i can show a prototype of the videogame being built at the moment. sorry it's only in french at the moment but with some effort + google translate, you can take a peek at it:
<http://games.gaudia-tech.com/brutos/intro/>
let me stress this:
all that idea, game design, client and server software design, coding, website, crowdfunding campaign, etc. were brought into existence with barely zero money. i made 95% of the work it by myself. i love team working, but high-skilled work isn't free…
so just imagine what i could do if some guys were kind / trustful enough to help.
p.s.
at this point 4900 gttpresale1 tokens were distributed to friends & family. you can see the history here:
<https://stellar.expert/explorer/asset/gttpresale1-gbso63gmxzkxgy3xl3smqiqj2jhk4usiabooxwxzd7p3fclhny7q64xs>
if you have generic questions please ask em here, for specific ones e-mail me directly: thomas at my website address.
thank you for your curiosity & let me know what you think! best,

**project title:**
6sr options trading platform
**summary:**
a system which uses the power of the stellar decentralized exchange, multi-signature transactions, and smart contracts to provide a safe and secure options trading platform for any asset.
**category:**
applications, tools, infrastructure
**goals:**
* provide a secure web application where traders can a) perform options operations (buy/sell open and buy/sell close) and b) exercise in-the-money contracts at any time.
* develop an usable user interface
* deploy our own horizon node to handle network requests without risk of throttling
* do not require users to provide a private key for funding; all assets not held in escrow remain 100% in user control.
* use stellar smart contracts and multi-signature to secure escrow accounts.
* a simple management system for the creation of assets, markets, and accounts.
* long term goal: implementation of put contracts.
**timeline:**
times given from the receipt of funding ->
* 3 months: a running proof-of-concept that requires private keys and trust of the site owner.
* 6 months: remove requirement of private keys, giving users 100% control over their owned funds and contracts.
* 9 months: implementation of multi-signature escrow accounts, giving users control over those accounts after contract expiration.
**description:**
options trading is usually reserved for high-dollar exchanges and requires large initial buy-ins. using stellar blockchain technology, we can create a system that opens these markets up to the public, provides a secure way of maintaining control over your accounts, and also ensures that contracts are executed only when they should be.
the 6sr options trading platform allows users to trade call options on supported assets. upon expiration, the system automatically assigns options which are in the money. the user also has ability to execute a contract at any time before the expiration. we can accomplish this with stellar primarily by using multi-transaction operations (then if one fails, they all fail, which is what we want). we also use stellar asset creation to create the market for each option (e.g. a btc call $9000 expiring on 2020-08-31). options trading involves risk and is not for everyone. with precision and attentiveness, profit is gained. there are many ways to make money trading options on this platform. the simplest one is the same as any other asset: buy low sell high. however, since an option expires at a known date (unlike a stock, for example), extra care must be taken. here are two other ways to make money in this system:
1. receive a type of dividend on owned btc assets. normally, people who are long term investors in btc just get to watch it sit there. now, by selling out of the money call options, they can receive payments on their balance. the risk is that their btc is called away, in which case their profit would still exist, but be slightly limited.
2. profit from market volatility without the full cost. a user can purchase a contract for a fraction of what it takes to purchase the full asset. for example, a user can purchase 1 in the money call option for one bitcoin for 10 usd. the price of bitcoin often fluctuates 100 usd within a few days. with proper timing, the user could sell it for twice or more what they paid. this is a form of leveraged buying without the risk of loans or margin accounts. the risk is that you have to hold the contract to expiration, because you don't have enough money to purchase the asset. in this case you do lose money, but your loss is limited. with any market, it is likely that some will profit and some will lose. but with this options market, it is at least possible for everyone to profit. we at 6th street radio wish you responsible trading, and high profits!
**links:**
* a bare-bones application is up at <https://trade.6thstreetradio.org> . the ui is plain html and is not responsive. a working ui is one of the goals. automated user registration is not available for legal reasons.
* additional information for end users can be found at <https://trade.6thstreetradio.org/about.html>.
* there is no open source code repository at this time. if we receive community funding, we will open source the project and alter our business case.

* decentralized exchanges (dex)
* banking systems
* online retailers
* bi-directional onchain transactions (inbound and outbound)
* wallet double encryption (one access key is owned by the infrastructure admin and one by the wallet owner, both are required to make the final wallet decryption)
* user chooses how and where to store the wallet encrypted data
* on-the-fly encryption/decryption
* switch between testnet, public or custom blockchain node
* serverless (no need to tackle server configurations)
* multiple stages and environments
* local debugging and development made easy
* one click deployments
**goals:** what your project plans to accomplish broken down by objectives.
* increase the stellar blockchain adoption
* onboard more traditional developers onto the blockchain ecosystem
* engage blockchain developers to build serverless dapps on stellar network
**description:**
**what does the project enable users to do:**
squeezer enables users to build decentralized applications on top of the stellar network using a microservices architecture. a payment system through blockchain, a voting platform or a frictionless login, squeezer has it all. we provide all the tools in order to create serverless dapps, attach smart contracts and deploy them with one click.
**why is the project valuable for stellar:**
our project’s main focus matches stellar’s main focus, which is to increase blockchain adoption, for the blockchain developer community to grow and start building dapps on the stellar network. for all of this, squeezer fits like a glove. building decentralized applications with squeezer has never been easier. working with the squeezer framework to build architectures using microservices, which are suites of independently deployable services organised around business capability, automated deployments with the help of our squeezer platform, intelligence in the endpoints, and decentralized control of languages and data.
**how does the project utilize stellar:**
squeezer will act as a seamless gateway to stellar, for accessing and interacting with it’s blockchain resources, thanks to the squeezer chainkit.
squeezer chainkit supports native stellar assets or custom assets. additionally users can provide custom stellar nodes to interact with by using different environments.

greetings stellar family!
in order to achieve lumenswap’s ultimate goal, which a perfect client for trading and swapping assets on the stellar network, we decided to represent milestones as the evolution stages of a product.
the second milestone of the lumenswap evolution road was implementation and design spot trading.
the spot feature is finally here! <https://app.lumenswap.io/spot>

lumenswap is not an automated market maker (amm). it’s an order book based dex which means it gets its liquidity from open orders that are available on the network. this means that lumenswap users had to use another client to provide liquidity. so in order to have a single, consistent client that can provide all the features of a trade client, we decided to add the spot trading feature to lumenswap.
### structure
**asset pairs**

in this section, you can choose the asset pair that you want to trade by clicking on its respective box. popular asset pairs with high trade volumes are added to the list by default to make it easier to use.
**order book**

in this section, the submitted orders for a particular asset pair are displayed. sell orders are indicated by the red box and buy orders are indicated by the green box.
**asset pair info**

this section displays useful information (such as the trade volume, highest, and lowest prices in the past 24 hours) about the selected asset pair.
the asset issuer of the assets are also displayed. by clicking on it, you’ll be directed to that specific asset page in the lumenscan explorer which can help you identify that asset better and easier. for example, you can see what anchor this asset belongs to.
**sell/buy box**

you can submit an order through this box.
you can enter the price for the asset in the first input field. by clicking on an order in the order book section, its price will be automatically added to this field.
the second field is for the amount that you want to sell or buy.
the third field is for the amount that you’d like to send or receive for this order.
**charts**

graphical charts are one of the most important aspects of a spot client. like most exchange platforms, we decided to use trading view to make our charts.
for now, the candlestick chart supports daily and weekly time frames. we’ll be adding more time frames in the future.
**market trades**

in this section, you can see all the completed trades related to the selected asset pair.
**open orders**

you can check your open orders for all of the asset pairs in this section. you can also easily cancel your orders by clicking on the “cancel” button.
**trade history**

a list of all of your completed trades on the network for all asset pairs.
**adding custom asset pairs**

to add a custom pair:
* first, click on the asset pair box.
* click on the “add custom” button in the newly opened modal.
* add the required information such as the asset issuers and asset code of the asset pair.
* finally, click on “add pair” to add your custom pair to the list.
note: if one side of your pair is xlm, you can also check the “native” option.
thank you for reading this article.

40e6ffb6221aa729aaba2202e3df276e | hello!
long time stellar supporter. currently, i have been very interested in defi and all their possible applications. i see that many of these new protocols fail to provide synergy within exchanges and smart contracts in general due to high gas fees. i have been reading some information on making stellar smart contracts. i realize that the logic behind it is similar to ethereum's but less lengthy and simplified, due to their off-chain features. i would love to see some of your opinions on how to achieve different smart contract solutions as an alternative to ethereum's congested network. in addition, i would appreciate any in depth documentation on ssc's, as the official documentation on stellar.org about this topic is deprecated.
thank you!

d31c5ea0e689544a1b6f5fc86ef11d0e | ### summary
blocknify allows you to easily add legally binding e-signature to any stellar transaction with privacy and trust built-in.
our solution allows you to legally sign documents that can be independently verified at any time (without blocknify) and can be tied to any asset transfer on the stellar network.
stellar has allowed us to be the first full e-signature saas solution with entirely transparent signatures through client-side operations and decentralization in every step. we use the stellar network as our immutable public notary for each signature. instead of blocknify being the black box of truth, stellar allows us to give each signer all the tools and data to verify against stellar for each signature at any time and independently from us or anyone else.
our signature audit trail (attached to every signed document) contains everything you need and directions on reconstructing the signature hash within the stellar network.
we believe in the power of lowering the barrier to operate in a fair system. legal contracts are vital to setting the context and terms of a business transaction so that all parties can be treated fairly.
many payments are made according to a contract, such as loan agreements, payments around a service or product, tokenization agreement, equity agreement, and many others. however, payments are often detached from their context. our solution allows you to tie a legally binding e-signature and pdf to your payment. this process ensures that if there is a dispute, the proof can easily be provided, and all the needed information can then be validated within the stellar transaction.
### details
* currently, our product allows you to:
* sign or send a document (pdf) to be signed within two clicks using our chrome extension or initiated via our api.
* signers receive an email with a unique link to sign the document via our web application (no installation needed).
* signers verify themselves via sms (id verification pending), create a signing pin, and then view their document and sign.
* the signature is packaged with the information we have collected from the signer, hashed, signed (with the signers private key), hashed again, and submitted to the stellar network as a memo.
* once all signers have signed the document, everyone receives the final document with an attached audit trail. this audit trail contains all the needed information to verify any signature at any time without requiring any input from blocknify and the linked transaction on stellar.expert.
* the audit trail contains the document fingerprint (hashing of the document's visual content) and the signer's public key, name, phone number, and raw signed data. at any time, a signer can use the audit trail and instruction to reconstruct any one of the attached signatures and going from their identity, document, time information to our signature hashed posted to the stellar network with standard tools.
**with additional development funds from sdf, we will be able to:**
* signers will have two options to tie an existing stellar account via sep: 0007 or albedo.
* the poster will be able to request payment within a specified asset and sign the document.
* the signer will then be able to select which asset they will pay with.
* we then create the transaction with the signature and asset transfer. this transaction will then be presented as a uri link, qr code, or requested for signature from albedo. the transaction will then be signed and posted to the stellar network.
* we then monitor the transactions for the account and confirm the integrity of the transaction.
* once all signers have signed the document, everyone receives the final document with an attached audit trail. this audit trail contains all the needed information to verify any signature at any time without requiring any input from blocknify and the linked transaction on stellar.expert.
* to verify signatures at any time, signers can use our open-source tools and the final document with the attached audit trail. this tool will then recreate the document fingerprint hash, pull the signer's information, recreate the signature hash, and then match the hash and account within the stellar network's transaction.
### what this means for the stellar ecosystem
it lowers the barrier to creating fairer and legally enforceable asset transfers within the stellar ecosystem.
an additional tool for transacting assets on the stellar network.
our apis can easily be added to any existing platform or solutions using the stellar network by using an iframe.
we provide white labeling of our web application and chrome extension.
we support templating to allow for easy pdf generation.
ability to get documents signed in complete privacy.
we know creating a legal document itself can be unfair. therefore we would love to work with our legal network and other for-profit and non-profit groups to make it easier to generate contracts. our template solution allows us to sign the template, allowing signers to feel safe that this "standard" contract is a word for word copy of the known standard agreement.
### how are we different from other e-signature solutions:
we have focused on creating a solution where technology creates trust rather than marketing.
while there are many other e-signature solutions, however, almost all of them are centralized black boxes requiring you to trust them / rely on them. keep in mind most of these solutions are quite old (in technology years) and have the benefit of the doubt from their users that "they have this figured out." for example, many cloud e-signature solutions keep a copy of your document as the source of truth, control the identity, and key management. this is the easiest way to do this process. one issue is that you must rely on them to verify the document signed and provide all the identity records and internal system time stamps, as they only provide some basic information. these programs are also expensive. other non-saas methods are privacy-focused but are painful.
while i don't believe they have any malicious intent, we see this centralized black box as an unnecessary risk, especially with new technology (e.g., stellar).
instead of holding the document forever, we came up with a way to clean the document and verify its visible elements on the client-side. files can collect a lot of noise as time goes on; however, a signature is only concerned about the visual elements. we use standard pdf parsing to breakdown the pdf to its visible elements and create hashes of hashes. this process ensures that even if one pixel is changed, then the document fingerprint is entirely different while ensuring the document's complete privacy. however, this also enables us not to require centralized control or require blocknify to store a clean source of truth version and allows our signers to reverify their documents at any time client-side.
as other solutions create their black box immutable timestamps, we use stellar as our immutable public witness.
instead of holding all the information in a black box and making you trust us, our signature can be independently verified with the attached audit trail sent out to all the signers after everyone has signed.
### we support our goal of building trust and privacy in three ways.
first, our solution is built to the specification of one of the most strict e-signature laws, eidas (eu) advanced electronic signature. by following eidas, we also satisfied e-signature laws of over 60+ countries who follow eidas, such as switzerland, or have less strict rules. due to our signatures being transparent, signers can verify how we created their signature, ensuring we follow the rules. our e-signature solution is currently being used by law firms (<https://www.karanovicpartners.com/k-signing/>), financial services, and other regulated industries.
second, our signatures and document verification are constructed entirely client-side and allow for decentralized verification. because you can't blindly trust the front-end, the signature should be validated. for our public solution, we validate signatures on our backend. however, we can delegate this verification to another backend. our new library will provide an easy way to verify the document and signature info against the posted stellar transaction. this will allows us to still facilitate signatures without needing to view any sensitive information. in the future, we would like to use zero-knowledge-proofs for all identity info, which allows us to verify the identity information on our backend without knowing the real information (let us know if you have experience in this!).
third, our audit trail contains everything you need to independently verify any signature, without any data from blocknify. after every signer has signed the document, a final document is sent with an attached audit trail. this audit trail is just the collection of the signature documentation, and because of that, it can be constructed without blocknify for high privacy uses. it has all the needed information to re-construct signatures and independently verify each signature on the stellar network. while this can be manually done today, we're currently working on making an open-source version of our signature verification to make it even easier to validate.
### blocknify has been around since early 2018
we graduated from the f10 accelerator (managed by the swiss stock exchange) and startupyard (the oldest accelerator in cee). we have clients and partners from financial service companies (raiffeisen international bank), law firms (<https://www.karanovicpartners.com/k-signing/>), and other regulated industries (<https://big-swiss.com/about-us/#network>).
### why the stellar network?
in beginning, we used a private ethereum network. we then tethered our private network to the main net for accountability and control of our cost. however, running our own private network created additional complexity and undermined our mission for trust to be built-in.
we choose stellar because of the ease of use, excellent documentation and community tools, mission, cross-currency transactions, specialization around asset-backed tokens, and low cost.
we believe in stellar's future and the ability to lower the barrier and cost of transferring assets anywhere in the world. we believe stellar's mechanism of creating trust and legitimacy is a massive factor in reducing the barrier of using dlt. we hope we can play our part in lowering that barrier by making it easier to sign contracts and tying them to asset transfers to help encourage fair and safe transactions.
### what will we do with the funds?
we are only in step one of our stellar integration. currently, we use our account to post the signer's signature hash to the stellar network (the signer uses their key to sign the document). our chrome extension currently supports all chromium browsers (chrome, brave, edge, etc.), and signers can sign on any device through our web application.
we plan to finish step two, three, and four in our stellar integration with these additional funds.
* step two: allow our users to create their stellar account.
* step three: allow users to use their existing stellar account to sign documents and submit their signature to the stellar network.
* step four: allow users to tie their document signature to a payment.
* step five: allow users to request a payment, which will be paid with the attached signature.
* step six: allow users to pay in any stellar token.
* step seven: enable complex signature and payment use cases.

2b37b58d3bfa89fdebd98454f25cfeb2 | i’m hodling a few xlm last year and more than happy to invest more on it because of the coinbase earn video, but i’m quite surprise when i found coins.ph, once cooperating with stellar, is now providing ripple and bitcoin cash instead.
then i read the description of stellar lumens on stellar.org once again carefully:
“we needed to introduce just *the slightest bit of friction* to deter bad or frivolous actors.”
for me this does not really make sense, seems like the meaning of the existence of xlm is equal to “ the slightest bit of friction”/ “transaction fee”, instead of a currency for payment, which makes people doesn’t want to invest in it. it’s like one wants to invest in eth, instead of gas.
strangely, the transaction fee of stellar (xlm) is much more famous than it’s supporting fiat (like anchorusd), at least one can find xlm on coinbase, binance, etoro etc., instead of usdx, which you can only find dollar index when googleing it.
for some altcoin as old as xlm, like ltc or dash, at least on the website one may know where to use them to buy a t-shirt or a cup of coffee or so, and seems like other pos blockchain is dominating the overseas transfer market more successfully.
i’m quite worry about the future situation of xlm, but at least there’s an active forum here, so hope it’s not that bad. anyway i think there’s a need to change xlm into some widely tradable currency, instead of a transaction fee/ staking/ speculating token. i don’t have specific suggestion for now, but i think there will be.
fyi i’m from hong kong, somewhere desperately need a useful cyptocurrency.

"text": "i'm going to give you what is my take on this.\n\n\nfrom my understanding, the objective of the project is not to become an alternative type of currency. but rather for the network to facilitate the connectivity of the financial system, making it easier to generate financial integration. \n\ncurrently, it's not easy at all to do cross-border finance: payments, financing, capital flows, etc. stellar wants to be the mechanism that makes that not just possible but easy and cheap.\n\n\nif we see the project's goal as that, then the lumens should not be viewed as a payment mechanism but rather as the gas or utility token *within* the network. \n\ni have never seen lumens as a replacement for the usd or eur, but mostly as the way to make the network do things. \n\ndon't get me wrong, i'm not saying it is not possible for this to happen, but it is not the objective the stellar network setup to do. \n\non the other hand, that is what bitcoin's goal is and what it set itself to do.\n\n\ni think the best that could happen to stellar is that the xlm price finds a stable price in usd or any other reference currency (it could be bitcoin the point of reference after all). that way the projects that work on stellar are able to accurately and confidently estimate their operational costs for them and/or their customers. \n\nthis is one of the things that, personally, find discouraging in eth, a transaction that used to cost usd 1 three months ago now costs usd 7. it is impossible to have long lasting, inclusive and integrating projects with that amount of variance.\n\n\nto summarize my position, the price of xlm is not of my concern for the time being and i don't see it as currency replacing token but i think about it as a utility token for a network whose aim are financial applications. \n\nit takes time for the network effects to become relevant enough to draw people into stellar but i think it will eventually happen.\n\n",

bab7b036f084f9786300996d8070c963 | sonic wallet is a mobile wallet application service which is based on the stellar network. what's unique about sonic wallet is that it uses exclusive sound waves to transmit data across wallets. and we call each sound wave a "sonic code" (read more in *base technology*).
**about**
sonic wallet aims to be an easy, fast and secure mobile wallet. although stellar offers low fee service to expand access to low-cost financial services to fight poverty and maximize individual potential, it's not quite easy. the process of creating a wallet account is difficult and people need money up front in order to create a wallet. sonic wallet is for everyone to create a wallet and transact at no cost. we will pay for any cost associated with our users transactions. we want to walk hand-in-hand with stellar to expand access of financial services to those in need.
**base technology**
sonic code is a proximity data transmission technology using inaudible sound through a speaker and a microphone. sonic code transmits encrypted audio patterned data quickly and securely across devices. a good comparison of sonic code is qr code. when it comes to safety, sonic code is more safe because unlike qr code, its generating and recognizing algorithms are not open to public. when it comes to convenience, sonic code does not require extra actions of users such as activating camera and focusing on a visible image pattern.
* frequency range used: 16khz - 19khz
* effective range: 10cm - 30cm (4in - 12in)
* recognition speed: 0.04 second
* error detection rate: 99.999994% (crc24 algorithm)
**services**
1. payment (ready to use)
sonic wallet provides quick and easy payment service to our users. users no longer need to show or scan qr code. when a sonic code for a specific transaction begins playing through one's smartphone, this will trigger the other person's sonic wallet on his lock-screen. without unlocking the phone or opening the sonic wallet app, users will be able to receive payment authorization request via sonic code. sonic wallet enables consistent user experience in face-to-face environment, offline and online.
2. user authentication (expected to launch in october)
sonic wallet is not just about payment. it's an ultimate key for user authentication. sonic wallet's user authentication is a 2-channel pki authorization service. the public key (wallet address) will work as the digital id and the private key assigned to each users when creating a sonic wallet account which is saved in the tee zone, will validate and authenticate users via digital signature. our api will allow any services to use the sonic wallet user authentication service. offline services such as building access, membership entrance can also use sonic wallet.
3. digital token (expected to launch in october)
sonic wallet will support the on-boarding of analog token to blockchain based digital token on stellar network. we will launch a platform within our service where retail stores and services can provide vouchers, coupons, tickets, memberships, reward points, etc. such physical, so-called "analog" tokens to completely go digital. any fees associated with this service will be paid by us and no users will bare monetary pressure.
4. wot platform (expected to launch in december)
we believe the most effective platform for iot is web. web is convenient, easy to access and manage, and does not cost too much to develop and operate. like google's physical web uses ble, sonic wallet uses sound to connect users with things. all they need is devices with a speaker and a microphone.
**features**
*security, security, security... it must come before convenience*
1. tee
the security weakness of pki private key in cryptocurrency wallet is management. most users lack knowledge of private-key management and thus, experts recommend users to utilize hardware wallets. sonic wallet stores each user's private-key in the secure world of their smartphones' ap chip called tee zone. this ensures great security compared to any other mobile wallet.
2. icon pin
individual pin is associated with a 4-digit number and an graphic icon. when users create a new account, each of the will be given different icon keypad. those keypads will generate different hash value, making it difficult to retrace for hackers.
3. mnemonics
mnemonic code is used for recovering sonic wallet account in an unavoidable situation such as loss of a smartphone. if users want to recover their wallet, they need to enter the correct 24 words (given when first creating sonic wallet account) in order to recover their wallet properly.
*ux*
1. lock-screen trigger (patented)
in general, users must unlock their phone, find the app, and open the app to activate mobile wallet service. with sonic wallet, those actions are eliminated. user's smartphone will recognize sonic code automatically when in lock-screen display--that is, not when the phone's screen is completely pitch-black-off; it's when the phone is still in locked-mode, but with display on. this will allow much faster money transfer.
2. identity + icon = identicon
wallet addresses are long and complicated. sonic wallet generates an identicon for each wallet to present user's address visually. identicon will allow users to double check their recipients.
3. automatic address input
when a valid stellar wallet address gets copied onto clipboard, sonic wallet will automatically open up and be ready to make a payment to copied address.

### **summary:**
litemint provides a platform for distributing and running any kind of apps and games (i.e. not just dapps), from puzzles, to multiplayer and cryptokitties-like games. the wallet uniquely blends the blockchain, entertainment and digital content—promoting global adoption through valuable and fun experiences for everyone.
litemint enhances games and apps with native and unique blockchain features such as collectible markets, friction-less micro-transactions, cross-currency payments—preserving the direct link (p2p) between creators and their users.
litemint is a far-reaching product toward global-adoption with high-value potential for benefiting the stellar ecosystem.
[](https://litemint.com/collectibles.gif)
litemint is offered as a non-custodial, open source, 100% free and anonymous wallet to end-users. the apps and shopping experience, called 'explore', leverages the stellar dex and path payments to provide cross-currency in-app and blockchain-based asset purchases.
check out these blog articles for more in-depth coverage of the main concepts:
* [doing it right: the tokenization of game assets on stellar](https://blog.litemint.com/doing-it-right-the-tokenization-of-game-assets-on-stellar)
* [the way forward for blockchain apps, 600% user growth](https://blog.litemint.com/newsletter-1-upcoming-games-600-user-growth-the-way-forward-for-blockchain-apps)
* [tradable, breedable, non-fungible tokens now available on stellar with litemint](https://blog.litemint.com/tradable-breedable-non-fungible-tokens-now-available-on-stellar-with-litemint/)
a demo video of the latest platform features can be seen here:
### **description:**
**the problem: worlds apart**
the top dapps are still only gathering [a few thousands daily active users](https://dappradar.com/) worldwide yet the mobile app market alone enjoys over a billion of daily active users. when building on new technology, bridging to the audience is always going to be the hard part—the blockchain is no exception.
on one side you have an infinite number of app users with [billions of mobile gamers](https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/22/mobile-gaming-mints-money/) and opportunities for businesses of all size, and on the other you have technology that could enhance games and apps: cross-currencies, peer-to-peer payments, new and unique markets with collectibles and game asset tokenization offering endless opportunities.
without a bridge, blockchain apps cannot reach out further from blockchain users and unlock the billions of app consumers out there. limiting apps to the blockchain ecosystem is like if google were to unpublish all apps that don’t use 100% of google play api.
**the solution: a native bridge**
built on the blockchain as a crypto wallet, litemint provides full native access to the new technology but most importantly, it also provides a seamless on-boarding experience for users and content. it runs apps and games—blockchain or not. the freedom to pick up just how much of the new technology we use, creates real opportunities that matters, opens new monetization funnels for creators and encourages new experiences for users.
non-custody along with decentralized payments and platform neutrality are also core criteria to help setting up a fairer platform for monetizing content with online micro-transactions.
another important point of the litemint business model is that it does not require content creators to buy any specific currency (like enjin, libra...). both users and sellers can choose their listing and buying currencies.
**the product**
litemint is open-source and cross-platform, available on google play, app store, linux, windows, mac. it can also be launched as a web app on desktop browsers (tested in chrome, safari, firefox, opera and edge).
strong emphasis has been put on the ux, mobile-first and ease-of-use to encourage global adoption.
other features:
* 24-word mnemonic (bip39, slip10, sep05).
* comprehensive access to the stellar dex and trading of any asset pairs.
* multi languages (english, french, german, russian, korean, chinese and greek, more to come).
* federated addresses to send and receive money, also used as gamer id for universal syncs.
* multi account managements.
* [upcoming deep-links for content sharing and indexing](https://blog.litemint.com/litemint-deep-links-embedding-sharing-launching-games-apps-and-shops/).
in term of integration, developers can use as little as the gamer id (implemented via the stellar federation protocol) to provide universal sync of user’s data to their app or implement a full-fledge blockchain-based economy with tradable collectibles. [it is their choice](https://blog.litemint.com/doing-it-right-the-tokenization-of-game-assets-on-stellar/).
**traditional iap.**
developers handle player’s data on their server and redeem player accounts upon payment confirmation on the blockchain. this may be favored by smaller games with lower retention, or in case games already have a set infrastructure and do not want to introduce existing players to a new process flow (trustlines). currently used in [pie.ai](https://pie.ai) multiplayer game for coins.
**tradable collectibles.**
developers issue collectibles (e.g. gold, skins) and [non-fungible tokens](https://blog.litemint.com/tradable-breedable-non-fungible-tokens-now-available-on-stellar-with-litemint/). these items are tradable on the stellar dex. this may work well for bigger games which have higher retention and content.
**mixing both.**
developers can initially handle items using traditional iap and issue them to the players upon (optional) trustline setup for a more streamlined experience and prevent leaving players at the door.
litemint will be monetized with ad placements on searchable content (games, apps, in-app, listings, nft searches) and possibly pre-roll on games, scaling up with user growth and engagement.
### **goals and timeframe:**
litemint is [currently running several apps and games](https://blog.litemint.com/newsletter-1-upcoming-games-600-user-growth-the-way-forward-for-blockchain-apps/) as proof-of-concept and use-case to develop the third-party api and foster the community. initially, the focus will stay strong on content from the gaming vertical due to existing connections to this industry. several game studios are interested to jump in when litemint opens to external third-parties.
the project is a one-man show, started over a year ago (almost full time) with an initial budget of $20,000.
the grant money could help the platform reach escape velocity much faster and scale up to the point where my pitch to content publishers (games initially) has more weight. ideally by the time the platform is ready for third-party publishers, monthly active users are in the 6-digit range (hopefully during q4).
**grant budget break-down**
* user acquisition and marketing 60%.
* partnership & third-party publishers on-boarding 30% (licensing and ip).
* staffing 10% (mainly skill gap on ios, social and support).
**short-term development efforts:**
* finalizing the development of the api for onboarding third-party apps (starting q3 2019).
* implementing additional channels for content and tradable collectibles (deep links, messaging...).
* strengthening the server infrastructure.
* developing original content (litemint.io...).

(sorry, i misused the term arbitrage bellow - what i meant was liquidity provider).\n\n\nvolume happens when offers are taken, which factually removes liquidity. for instance, pathpayment matches offers, hence removes them for the orderbook, hence removes liquidity.\n\n\nthis is an important difference, because bringing people to use pathpayment over an illiquid order book will not increase your volumes nor your liquidity: it will only piss off people because they'll pay a 10% premium or worse due to the high spread/low-volume situation.\n\n\nso while sep-0006 is to bring in customers, providing liquidity is a required preliminary step for them to have a nice & smooth experience.\n\n",

{
"text": "[misterticot](https://galactictalk.org/d/2041/14) sure, put simply, liquidity decreases as the spread increases. however, volume does not factually remove liquidity from markets (only from a theorical standpoint). in fact, the reality is opposite and because of the virtuous circle, markets traded on very high volume maintain a tighter spread and always remain more liquid (e.g. forex, the world’s biggest market by volume is also the world’s most liquid). \n\ni also noticed that when i initially listed items in the mag currency (magnetwork.io). as orders got executed from path payments to fulfill shop purchases, i could spot discussions on stellarport chat from traders who had noticed the volume increase and the order book started to fill up naturally from interest during that period, the spread got tighter at that time. \n\ni do agree that stellar anchors lack liquidity in general and that issuers need to help on this to leverage path payments—bootstrapping as you said. \n\nlitemint purpose is also about drifting away from speculation to derive utility from currency (e.g. from enjoying some in-app product), hopefully increasing interest for the currencies at stake between merchants and users.\n\n",

c69f9e077ab27a4897988b13441eca66 | me as a investor in the early life of stellar i want to make a proposal
if stellar started to pay interest to its investor i think that it would help the coin alot if we are going to be working with banks then we should show the banks that we understand how they work.
the great thing about interest rates is that it gives people incentive to hold there coins how are we going to be the number 1 coin when are typical hold time is only 18 days. i was looking at some talk of the ceo and she was talking about how we can make i more user friendly. in my opinion showing people that other people hold the coin because they get reward to hold the coin would help the company alot. if banks see that people are holding the coin they will trust us more so we will be the best option for them to work with. i think we should start with a 12% interest rate because we will have the highest rate in the market and we will get huge coverage for this but we should wait till the coin goes down to .20 to do this once the bitcoin hype goes away i think we will drop again that will be a good time to try and get more people on board with the coin .as the coin goes up we drop the interest rate.
the down side to this is it will cost the company money if we can have a loans service this will help. if we set up a system where we can buy homes or even cars with lumens then the loan system is a go. it also would be nice if we can find a way to make a debt card with lumens not every one has tap to pay with there phone so a debt card would be nice. i think we should work with master card since they see how much of a problem cross border payment is.
this is just my opinion as a investor in stellar i want to see us go to the moon its just the early days so any way i can help im going to try.

"text": "i'm not sure if i got your point right but if you mean that everybody that uses the chain also needs to pay a dividend to holders then the chain is dead in my opinion. as a developer and as a owner of a business which uses the stellar blockchain to issue stos and pay dividends to holders i don't think paying interest to xlms holders is a good idea because there is a transaction fee and a minimum amount to hold assets in a wallet... if on top of that you also need to pay interest to holders that don't use the chain then why using the chain in the first place?\n\n\nnow if you mean that the foundation should pay dividends then that's another whole story and not an easy one because if they pay dividends then they will be subject to security laws in the countries where they sent the dividends... and that's a little tricky unfortunately\n\n",

"text": "[earrietadev](https://galactictalk.org/d/2666/2) then why hold the coin its all about giving people a reason to buy the coin so that the price of the coin goes up so the company is worth more money this is why you would have to wait for the coin price to drop so the company can buy a big amount of the coin go get a loan and dont pay people the interest unless they hold for a year or more. just get rid of the transaction fee when paying people the interest the more the market goes up the more money you make it would just be a big risk at first but you should match the interest rates to the price of the coin. we need to show people this is the coin to buy we need regulation, bitcoin is dead because any country can just print money and put money into causing inflation. \n\nhow are we going to work with banks if we cant show we know how banks run?\n\n",

b4bebd6d5933e5d3d6b13d618dbcc3a6 | hello!
long time stellar supporter. currently, i have been very interested in defi and all their possible applications. i see that many of these new protocols fail to provide synergy within exchanges and smart contracts in general due to high gas fees. i have been reading some information on making stellar smart contracts. i realize that the logic behind it is similar to ethereum's but less lengthy and simplified, due to their off-chain features. i would love to see some of your opinions on how to achieve different smart contract solutions as an alternative to ethereum's congested network. in addition, i would appreciate any in depth documentation on ssc's, as the official documentation on stellar.org about this topic is deprecated.
thank you!

**title**: terraformationbot.
**summary**: telegram wallet for single users and groups
**category**: applications, tools & infrastructure
**goals**: provide the financial characteristics of the stellar network for groups and users of the telegram service
**description**:
in the current phase of the project it allows (testnet):
* basic wallet to receive and pay lumen
* multi-signature wallet, with survey for group payments
in later phases the following will be added :
* creation of custom assets
* assets exchange
* receive and pay assets
this project tries to bring lumen and custom assets to telegram users, avoiding the creation of new accounts and the installation of new applications, reasons that often make it difficult to start new technologies.
telegram is a multiplatform messaging service, easily accessible to a large number of users.

"text": "[orbitlens](https://galactictalk.org/d/2424/3)\n\n\nhello, thank you very much for your comments, for the first part the intention of the multi-signature features is to make another additional use available to the public by using them as votes for decisions taken in a group where the majority wins, on whether they will use it i do not know but something if i am sure if they don't have it they will never use it.\n\n\ni think the main problem here is who has control of the private keys and in fact had considered it from the beginning, the main problem is the way the telegram bots are thought, but i am thinking of solving it in later versions already be:\n\n\n* encrypt the secret key with a password that the user sends and request it every time they make a transaction. \n\nor\n* do not store the secret key but constantly request it in each transaction. \n\nin both cases the information would be used on the fly.\n\n\neven so, there are still questions to be solved depending on how paranoid i get, i make the source code available to everyone, but even if that is not a guarantee that i use the same code on the server and in the git (which i do not plan to do but for put an example) well then anyone is free to put their own server with the source code that i made available, or based on it, or create their own bot.\n\n\nbut if you are right as this is not very reliable i will try to do the transactions on the fly as a solution, i hope i can finish it before the end of this stage.\n\n\nlastly, the main difference between our bot and others (as far as i could see) is that we give the source code, export the keys (for the moment only direct chat -no group or assets-) and will soon allow transactions on the fly, my intention is that it is the easiest to use and implement, that's why i put buttons, so maybe in the future i will generate a container for docker, including instructions on how to generate the container in case there is no trust in the provided image.\n\n",
