What are the incentives for running Stellar nodes? This information is nowhere to be found.

anyone tested already StellarSigner? It's a secret key store app to sign Stellar transactions. Curious to put my hand on that

Why does a centralized Paypaltoken needs Lightning at all ?
underlaying colored data stuff ?

To be cheaper, faster, more secure and more universal then Paypal could ever be. Everybody could run a node on Steller and the plan is to distribute most of the tokes that are held by the foundation. And Jeb was thinking about lighting for a long time. http://jedmccaleb.com/blog/bitcoin-lightning-stellar/

I’ve been thinking about how to expand support for smart contracts on Stellar, looking at use cases to learn what we need to make them viable. One of the most compelling things I’ve found is my friends Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja’s smart contract-based proposal for bitcoin. It’s called Lightning Networks. 

Lightning allows you to set up a channel to send transactions securely between two parties, off blockchain. Neither party needs to trust the other—they only go to the blockchain to settle a dispute or to close the channel. Theoretically, any given channel could stay open for years and have millions of transactions flow across it without ever settling to the public ledger.

The two parties involved in the channel exchange pre-signed transactions without introducing them to the network. These transactions vary the fraction of the escrow amount sent to each end of the channel, a setup that is effectively equivalent to sending money between the two ends. Only the latest signed transaction should be valid between the two parties, but the network doesn’t know that—every transaction seems valid to the network. The trick is to set the channel up so that if either party introduces an old transaction, the malfeasor is penalized. Read the Lightning paper for a more thorough description.

Maybe now so far the prices fell perhaps the best moment for purchase of coins, just that moment. Of course nobody can definitely tell where the bottom will be. So who wants can buy coins by parts.

Until now it still leads to bearish, mid year will be the answer and it will wake the whales who are hibernation.

And when will there be a reversal to the growth of the course? it seems to me that it is time to turn on the regulation of spending by the team. Perhaps our investments will be able to stabilize slightly and we will be able to report to our funds.

Some interesting comments from the founder of Stellar.

Jed McCaleb, the co-founder of Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM), as well as the creator of the infamous Mt. Gox cryptocurrency exchange, claimed that cryptocurrency and its underlying technology, Blockchain, should remain decentralized in order to succeed in the future, CNBC reported Friday, March 23.

It is of course excellent news to community. Because any exchange, any exchanger it is good. Just this exchange had problems with a conclusion quite recently, inquiries long hung in applications. Tell as now the hitbtc exchange works?
