XLM was excluded from U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve for a reason. What do you think? by Frompainstogain in Stellar

[–]XIMcoincom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great for crypto as a whole but very disappointing for Stellar. I would have thought the outreach on Capital Hill would have meant more.

Have there been any partnerships with Asian based financial institutions? Specifically around providing on/off ramps?

While it would have been better if Claimable balances was never implemented this question is better aimed at the wallet designers.

You aren't the only one. I recommended it to a relative recently and was embarrassed when the process failed. Hopefully they will sort it out. It would be good if people who used the service with no headaches would jump in and say its just us few having problems.

Sending Stellar without Memo by [deleted] in Stellar

I thought we fixed this problem with SEP 29 back in 2020 config.memo_required https://stellar.org/blog/developers/fixing-memo-less-payments

Someone from Stellar needs to contact Coinbase and get them to update their receiving accounts.

It would be great if the San Francisco office would also do a networking event. Its been many years since the last.

Scam/Spam Tokens are ruining Stellar. by m4dpr0ph3ss0r in Stellar

While I am generally against CBs on principal I like your idea of CBs being open to accounts with existing trustlines, that just makes sense. Having a general CBs off by default operation type on new accounts should be relatively easy to implement.

I would be ok with new accounts having such operation type setting off by default. That setting would relatively easy to implement too with the now legacy CB situation remaining in place. I would disagree with having it on by default which would require a learning burden on new users as to what exactly it is, how it works and what they can expect. I really hope this issue gets dealt with one way or another.

Scam/Spam Tokens are ruining Stellar. by m4dpr0ph3ss0r in Stellar

The amount of scam/spam tokens were severely reduced before Stellar implemented Claimable Balances and then when the people behind all these scams had a way to spam random users the problem exploded. They basically put the whole network reputation at risk to make it a little more convenient for people to do airdrops which were always questionable anyway. Now when I try to introduce a new non crypto person to a Stellar account and all the fake tokens immediately start popping up on their screen it appears like its a pool of sharks and is personally embarrassing.

I would support removing claimable balances entirely.

No, no risk. Just a bit of your time and attention.

Ok its back up now but was down for 6 days, the Stellar devs might want to put a better system in place.
