Stuff?

No, we are all in a huge simulation, run by dolphins on some other planet somewhere.

That's not true. The approval is instant[sic]. The settlement takes at least 24 hours.

To me, swiping a card and getting an approval is the same as sending bitcoin to an address and seeing the tx in the mempool. You see the transaction in your wallet within seconds too, just like Visa.

So, if you are talking about the time it takes for a fungible asset to move from one person to another, bitcoin has visa beat.

I can send you bitcoin, and you can spend it after one confirm, which is usually about 10 minutes, say even in the extreme 60 minutes.

If I go into a store and swipe my credit card, the merchant can't spend that money, since they won't get it until settlement... which is at least 1 day, could be more depending on the merchant's account.

So, yea, Bitcoin settlement, which is the point at which the fungible asset has exchanged hands, is much faster than Visa. That's assuming you don't get a chargeback too.

Neither is instant.

Of course, lightning will change that and make the settlement almost instant too. So, much better than Visa.

Well, he was "expecting" it to confirm in 25 minutes based on some fee estimate/confirm time estimate web site. Since reality didn't meet that estimate he concluded it took to long so no one would use bitcoin.

I still say that is faster than a Visa transaction and millions of those happen every day. No one complains that they are too slow since people use Visa constantly.

It depends on what you are measuring. What are you measuring?

It's faster than Visa.

Scam in what way? Seems like you are just here to spread FUD.

Not sure if any of the games have been released yet.

That's not me... but I can answer...

It's different rewards.

There are like 4 videos you can watch, they each get you $2.

Then you get up to 5 referral credits of $10 each.

Each reward is its own transaction.

(As I was already a verified coinbase customer, because I used it as a fiat to BTC onramp, I had nothing to lose. Also, I didn't "lose my identity").

This is why they require KYC identity verification before giving the coins away, so bots can't just collect a huge chuck.

You can complain about cheating or you can complain about KYC... but one prevents the other.

I use StellarX.com. I haven't done a huge amount of trading, but I have done a bit, like Buying White Wallet USD, sending to the white wallet, redeeming, send it back, etc.

Told twice, YES. All your tokens, anchors and native coins are associated with your Ledger S private key.

When you say web wallet, you mean one not using Nano Ledger? Anyway, go to Stellar.org and you can see all the wallets available. https://www.stellar.org/lumens/wallets/

I would suggest StellarX which doubles as both a wallet and an Exchange Client. It also supports Ledger or you can create a keypair. They don't have access to your private key, although, it is stored encrypted (with your password) on their servers. So, use a strong password.

Yes. Nano Ledger 2 supports Stellar. All your XLM, Native Tokens, and Anchored Tokens are stored in the blockchain and linked to the public key.

You can go to a stellar block explorer and see all the assets in the account by searching for the public key.

I think the answer it is that the token is listed in the Dex's once you've met all the asset issuance requirements and have tied it to a valid domain name.

You can set one up on testnet to see how it works.

Has anybody sent stellar to Coinbase?  I did a small test send, did use the memo, don't see it yet. It's been 10 minutes. Stellar should take seconds.

Also, I notice there is now a new memo value when I go to receive.

EDIT: Well, spoke a minute too soon.

Do you have your private key?

Stellar Lumens were just added to Coinbase and Coinbase Pro as well.

IBM Signs 6 Banks to Issue Stablecoins and Use Stellar’s XLM Cryptocurrency

--not sure how this will affect Lumen price, but it certainly lends credibility to the Stellar network.

I would be nice if it didn't drop from $.48 all the way back to the ICO price.

I recall some people have stated receiving it in this thread.

So, buy it back. It's still basically at the IPO price.
