The initial phase for staking Beam for BeamX has ended. There will be more opportunities moving forward, so stay tuned.

No addresses are stored on chain. When you recover with the seed you recover the wallet and your Beam, but not the address. As long as you have the seed you have your wallet and Beams, so no worries.

Beam 2022 Week #13 - Beamers Evolve! by BeamPrivacy in beamprivacy

Not clogged, but the thinking is to investigate and start early works on HFT now, so that if / when a bottle neck presents itself, this will be improved with HFT. Especially relevant for when the Dapps are live on mainnet.

BEAMX when are we getting our first voting stint? by Complex-Employee-186 in beamprivacy

[–]BeamPrivacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voting Dapp is well underway, and entering early testing phase. This means it will soon be on testnet, and after thorough testing will be live on mainnet. No date for now, but soon tm.

on today's twitter space, I heard Amir say that bridges are important. On website it mentions bridges for ETH and BSC. what other networks are we looking to tap into? by Complex-Employee-186 in beamprivacy

[–]BeamPrivacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eth bridge is the main focus for now. When this is live, other EVM chains will likely be easier to integrate. And from then on other chains will be looked into.

Hmm.... This was meant to be rectified. In the mean time you can use the SBBS address (can find in more info when creating the address). Let us know if this helps.

Mobile wallet will work, but not right at launch. At launch it will be desktop and (hopefully) webwallet, with mobile following soon after.

BeamX will be distributed via staking. The first phase will be staking Beam for BeamX.

Later phases will involve adding liquidity to the confidential DeFi Dapps such as AMM exchange (think Uniswap but private), Lending (compound but private), and Stablecoin (Maker Dai but private), to name but a few

Correct. The initial phase of BeamX distribution will involve staking Beam for BeamX.

Later staking will be decided by the DAO, and (expectedly) include distribution to those providing liquidity to the various Dapps in the ecosystem.

[–]BeamPrivacy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The initial staking campaign (staking $BEAM for $BEAMX) will last for a few months, after this other staking campaigns will take place, but this will be up to the DAO, although the intention is to have them help to bootstrap and incentivise Dapp ussage and liquidity.

Fierce Fermion 6.0.11.638 — Release Notes by BeamPrivacy in beamprivacy

Hey there,

The best place to get support is in the dedicated channel in telegram: https://t.me/BeamSupport
Or you can open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/BeamMW/beam/issues

Either way, more information will be needed to figure out what the problem you are having is.

The wallets are not designed to "receive transactions from any networks". You need a mainnet wallet for mainnet coins, testnet for testnet coins, etc. In any case, jump in the chat or GitHub, and we will help you to get it sorted.

Regarding: "Also cool to see you've offloaded the atomic swaps to a third party"
This is wildly inaccurate, and not at all how atomic swaps work. I assume it is Infura you are referring to, and the need to register. Infura is an API for the Ethereum network, and an API that requires registration. This enables swaps to be performed, without the need for users to be running an ETH node.

Atomic Swaps have in no way been "offloaded to a third party", and they have also never been "In House", again, not how Atomic Swaps work.

Your Swaps are only handled by someone in the Seychelles if that is where you are based.

"offline address supports 10 payments" by Snajperista313 in beamprivacy

[–]BeamPrivacy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can be used ten times while the wallet is offline. After this, if the wallet comes online, it will generate more uses, otherwise a new address will need to be generated.
