Hard to say.  Awarding the lumens to people building things built on stellar will hopefully cause more things to be built on stellar which could make the whole system more valuable.

ashapasa: Things are going really well in Nigeria. We should have some news from there in the next month.  The thing about stellar is that you can use any type of currency in the network. So most people will just use their local currency so they aren't issues of currency volatility. People in Nigeria using stellar will be sending around Niara not lumens.
I agree speculation should be left to the people that can afford to do it.

Well just btc holders. We are doing the xrp one in the next round.

enet: yeah you will need some anchor https://www.stellar.org/learn/explainers/#Anchors_trust_and_credit that you use. Once an anchor is on Stellar you can send and receive that anchor's credit without being a bank yourself. There should be a few on the system in the next month.
Which exchange do you run?
46  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: 2B+ lumens will be awarded to projects built on Stellar on: June 28, 2016, 04:48:18 PM
No it is still there. They haven't updated the currency symbol so it says STR instead of XLM.
47  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: 2B+ lumens will be awarded to projects built on Stellar on: June 28, 2016, 04:38:49 PM
Stellar allows you to send and receive any type of currency. So it just means allowing people to deposit and withdrawal via Stellar in addition to whatever other deposit and withdrawal methods the exchange supports.

For example now on Kraken you can send a Sepa payment to deposit Euros. They could also accept Euros sent in via Stellar.

HarrKPeters: We are doing something like you suggest now: 2B+ lumens will be awarded to projects built on Stellar more info here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1529992.new#new
and here: https://www.stellar.org/blog/build-challenge/

Emerger: We are limited on how we can do it by US regulations. We have to ensure that we are not giving lumens to people on the US sanctions list. So we need some way of verifying who they are.

 Crypto*Digger:  yes the distributed exchange is working but it depends on 3rd parties to become what we call anchors to put other currencies into the network.
50  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / 2B+ lumens will be awarded to projects built on Stellar on: June 28, 2016, 04:08:39 PM
2 Billion or more lumens to be awarded to people building out the stellar ecosystem.

To encourage creativity and development in the Stellar ecosystem, we’re announcing the Stellar Build Challenge.

Stellar.org will grant awards in the following four categories: Anchors, Applications, Exchanges, and First-Time Submissions. We’ll announce the first round of winners on October 1, 2016.

Build Challenge awards will be funded by unclaimed lumens from the bitcoin-lumen program. This pilot challenge is simple by design: it’s an experiment to find ways to develop services that are fair, affordable, and community-driven, and at the same time drive uptake of the Stellar network to maximize efficiency and reach. We plan to learn from it and offer similar programs in the future.

Read more: https://www.stellar.org/blog/build-challenge/

Look forward to seeing what people build!


51  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Stellar on: June 24, 2016, 04:37:19 PM
It doesn't even have to do that.
Stellar is perfect for remittances.
The majority of remittance traffic through stellar will use lumens as the bridge currency since it is much easier. So the market makers will have to maintain some float in lumens.
Let's assume we gain some traction in Nigeria.
There are ~$21B in remittances sent to Nigeria every year.
If you are interested in the potential price, you should calculate how much that float would mean the lumen price would have to be. That is one country and it is the floor and doesn't include the mark up for speculation.

What do you mean? Do you mean if it is *not* needed to transfer money then it won't rise?
53  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Stellar on: June 24, 2016, 10:47:42 AM
Not at all. We have a ton of integrations in progress:

We should have another really big announcement next month.
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][XLM] Stellar - Decentralized trading platform on: June 22, 2016, 03:37:30 PM
Yep really me.

Yeah we are really excited to be out of the building stage. Stellar is in really good shape technically now and it is time to get people to start using it.

The advisory board is there to bounce ideas off of, get feedback on strategy, help with connections, and basically give advice Smiley  How often we talk to each member really varies depending on what we are up to and what decisions we are trying to make. For example when we were thinking of becoming an apache project we spoke a lot to Greg Stein since he obviously knows the Apache Foundation really well, etc.

Tons of improvements.
Safer with a solid consensus mechanism: https://www.stellar.org/developers/learn/concepts/scp.html
Much more scalable.
Much easier to develop against as it uses a normal SQL DB to store state and the API is very good now.
Now has multisig and smart contract features: https://www.stellar.org/blog/multisig-and-simple-contracts-stellar/  http://jedmccaleb.com/blog/bitcoin-lightning-stellar/

I'd make your decision based on looking at the code and the paper and how the system works rather than from rumors and innuendo spread about me.

Stellar (XLM) is a completely decentralized consensus platform.
It is designed to support any type of currency.
It has a built in decentralized exchange that can be used to trade any type of currency or asset.

Features & Specifications
  • 3-5 second confirmation time
  • Supports thousands of transactions per second
  • Can be used to send or trade any currency, asset, or token.
  • Open-source
  • Uses SCP rather than Proof of Work. Whitepaper
  • Simple, clean API
  • Multisig and smart contracts
  • Decentralized distributed database
  • 100B XLM created initially
  • 1% fixed annual inflation

Coin Distribution
Since the Stellar network doesn't use mining, all the coins exist when the network starts.
The majority of these are held by the non-profit Stellar.org.
Stellar.org is distributing the coins in the following way:
  • 50B XLM: to be given in small increments to as many people as possible.
  • 25B XLM: to be given to other businesses and non-profits to reach people that stellar.org wouldn't otherwise be able to reach through the Direct Signup program.
  • 20B XLM: to be given to bitcoin and XRP holders (announcement about the details of this coming soon)
  • 5B XLM: retained by Stellar.org for operations.
More information about the coin distribution can be found here.
You can see the distribution to date here.

How it works
Decentralized network
A decentralized network consists of peers that can run independently of each other.

This means that the Stellar network does not depend on any single entity. The idea is to have as many independent servers participate in the Stellar network as possible, so that the network will still run successfully even if some servers fail.

Ledger
Like a traditional ledger, the Stellar ledger records a list of all the balances and transactions belonging to every single account on the network. A complete copy of the global Stellar ledger is hosted on each server that runs the Stellar software. Any entity can run a Stellar server.

These servers form a decentralized Stellar network, allowing the ledger to be distributed as widely as possible. The servers sync and validate the ledger by a mechanism known as consensus.
This entire process of coming to consensus on the Stellar network occurs approximately every 2-5 seconds.
Prof. David Mazières describes the technical process of consensus in his white paper, The Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP). You can also explore other resources explaining SCP.

Anchors, trust, and credit
Anchors are simply entities that people trust to hold their deposits and issue credits into the Stellar network for those deposits. They act as a bridge between different currencies and the Stellar network. All money transactions in the Stellar network (except the native digital currency of lumens) occur in the form of credit issued by anchors.
Anchors do two simple things:
1) They take your deposit and issue the corresponding credit to your account address on the Stellar ledger.
2) You can make a withdrawal by bringing them credit they issued.
You have to trust the anchor to honor your deposits and withdrawals of credit it has issued.
Anchors exist in the pre-stellar world now. For example, to use Venmo, you deposit money in from your bank account. Venmo then gives you credit in your Venmo account. You can now send that Venmo credit to anyone that trusts Venmo (anyone with a Venmo account). Someone that received your Venmo credit can convert it to real money by withdrawing it to their bank.
Anchors perform the same function in Stellar. The difference is, all the "Venmos” and other anchors are operating on the same network so they can all transact with each other now – this makes the system way more powerful. People can now easily send and exchange all these different anchor credits with each other.


Distributed Exchange
The Stellar ledger is able to store offers that people have made to buy or sell currencies. Offers are public commitments to exchange one type of credit for another at a predetermined rate. The ledger becomes a global marketplace for assets.
All these offers form what is called an orderbook. There is an orderbook for each currency/issuer pair. So if you are wanting to exchange Virgin Bank/EUR for bitstamp/BTC you look at that particular order book in the ledger to see what people are buying and selling it for.
This allows people to not only buy and sell currencies in a foreign exchange like manner but also to convert currencies seamlessly during transactions.

Multi-currency transactions

Stellar allows you to send any currency you hold to anyone else in a different currency through the built-in distributed exchange. People can receive any currency through an anchor they added.
For example, Amy wants to send Bob euros, using her BTC balance. Stellar will automatically convert her BTC to EUR. The network will find the best exchange rate for the transaction.

Stellar Development Foundation
Stellar.org (Stellar Development Foundation) is a nonprofit organization that contributes to the Stellar network’s development and ensures it remains open and accessible to everyone.
Our mission is to connect people to low-cost financial services to fight poverty. We envision a prosperous world where everyone can improve their own lives through access to affordable payments, credit, and savings accounts.
