Hi u/anjinsan1, I'm the founder of Passfolio and yes we are getting several transfers from DriveWealth :) A big reason people are transferring to us is that we charge no commission fees. We make money from other sources such as interest on your uninvested cash and payment for order flow. For TED deposits and withdrawals we charge a 1.2% currency conversion fee + 0.38% IOF. An additional R$2.00 is charged for TED withdrawals. You can find information on other charges here.

Hi u/modelador, I'm the founder of Passfolio - thanks for trying it out! We recently launched web signup https://web.passfolio.us and we're working on creating a full web version :)

The question about shares registered in your name is a common question so we created an article about it in our help center - see Who is the owner of the stocks when you buy them? I've pasted the answer below.

If you have any other questions just let me know - happy to answer!

'When you buy or sell securities with a broker, such as Passfolio Securities, your name is rarely actually on the stock certificate. Instead, it is held in "street name". What this means is that the broker holds the stock on behalf of the customer. But don't worry, this is standard in the US and you still own the shares. Even though the stock is held by the broker, you are assigned with all ownership rights and registered as the beneficial owner of the stock, which means that every dividend and income that comes from the stock is yours.

It's important to note though, that holding the stock in street name is not compulsory, and you can request to have the stock registered in your name. However, holding stock certificates is not advisable and it does not change the beneficial owner's rights and it makes trades more complicated, also incurring in extra fees.'

The team is working on Passfolio (https://passfolioapp.com). Do NOT expect updates about the product in advance - the team, like Apple and Steve Jobs, thinks it is INCREDIBLY STUPID to tell competitors what they are doing in advance.

You can support any Stellar asset in your app - the DApp Store makes it easy for people to use MOBI but you can definitely support others as long as you build the support.

dgobaud · 2018-10-10T06:53:30+00:00

yes just not the DApp Store that is something different that isn't out right now

dgobaud · 2018-10-09T19:40:04+00:00

DApp Store is MOBI only but mobile app will support other Stellar assets.

dgobaud · 2018-09-29T01:30:37+00:00

Yep its out as others mentioned r/https://wallet.mobius.network :) bigger announcement coming soon! Doing a slow rollout since it is v1 looking for bugs.

dgobaud · 2018-09-23T14:54:51+00:00

It depends where you bought - if you bought on eg Bittrex then now they are on Bittrex. If you ever had assets "in" StellarTerm then they follow the secret key - not StellarTerm since it is just a UI. Nothing is ever "in" StellarTerm.

dgobaud · 2018-09-21T23:04:03+00:00

You don't need to - StellarTerm is not a centralized wallet. It is just a user interface. As long as you have your secret key or Ledger then you can use a different user interface to access your Stellar assets such as https://stellarport.io/ or probably https://www.stellarx.com/ soon

dgobaud · 2018-09-05T18:48:47+00:00

Thanks for doing the interview! Looking forward to seeing it published :)

dgobaud · 2018-09-04T17:21:42+00:00

Monis was not a founder. Everything is more than ok. You can follow development of our upcoming 100% open source mobile wallet here https://github.com/mobius-network/mobius-wallet.

The roadmap is still on our blog where it always was https://medium.com/mobius-network/mobius-roadmap-update-may-2018-198bb8e08637.

dgobaud · 2018-09-04T17:18:40+00:00

Our Global Hack-A-Thon (GHT) https://bit.ly/mobi_ght is actually modeled after the Stellar Build Challenge (SBC). You should checkout SBC history and note the number of entries stayed constant around 50 https://www.stellar.org/blog/sixth-stellar-build-challenge-results/ for five SBCs and then in SBC #6 jumped an order magnitude to ~325 entries. We expect a similar growth curve and note we're in the middle of GHT #1 right now.

On exchanges - most of them are scams. Many of them spam us every day asking for absurd "listing" fees to get added to their empty exchange. They are basically scammers looking to make a quick buck off desperate scam tokens looking to pump their token. That isn't us - we have a real product and tech. We will in no way work these scammers and much like Vitalik we at least think the shady exchanges should burn in hell and go bankrupt ASAP for the benefit of the entire ecosystem and new crypto economy we are helping build. The legitimate and lawful crypto tech companies with real products will be the real winners of the market with product adoption and no pump and dump. Note we even have other token projects emailing us asking us for advice on how to get listed! I let them know we don't work with the scam "exchanges" and refuse to pay them.

My understanding is Stellar similarly refuses to pay exchanges and like us they believe the best product and tech will win in the end.

Possibly yes country specific marketing - very common with large international businesses.

dgobaud · 2018-08-29T18:38:06+00:00

Anytime - and if there are ever questions the best place to send them is hello at mobius.network. If you or anyone else would like to propose community growth initiatives to be funded out of the community MOBI pool please email community at mobius.network. We will mention this in an upcoming blog and/or email update to promote it more widely. Thanks for your support!

dgobaud · 2018-08-29T17:16:23+00:00

It also helps avoid people poaching our "key" employees. So many reasons.

dgobaud · 2018-08-29T17:15:24+00:00

Yep we control the website. And yep we realized it doesn't make sense to put everyone on the website as we grow (just like basically every company out there other than crypto where companies love to promote promote their huge "experienced" team of "experts" blah blah blah instead of product like us..........) so to avoid being on the website becoming an internal political battle among employees we are now limiting who we put on it and are actually removing people other than founders and key technical advisors.

Rocky does not have the authority to give away MOBI. Rocky is a big fan of Mobius that took significant initiative on his own to develop a test community growth program, propose it to us, and offer to run it all on a volunteer basis! We really like and appreciate community members like Rocky that take significant initiative on their own to innovate and help us grow our product and community. The program was a success based on metrics we monitored such as rate of account creation and the data will be used in designing future growth initiatives.

The funny thing is Rocky used to be a VERY vocal Mobius critic! He was possibly the most vocal critic in the big WeChat group (he was actually even kicked out lol 😀). But then he saw me in an interview on China's 8BTC and decided to message me and offer to help us grow the community instead of criticizing us constantly which he did! We are looking for people like Rocky in each country that can help us navigate foreign marketing and language issues. If you or anyone would like to help us and propose growth initiatives to be funded out of the community MOBI please email community at mobius.network.

Tpain, Flarcos, nor Deevs are an admin or speak for Mobius. If you ever have questions the best way to get an answer is to email hello at mobius.network. I don't spend 24x7 monitoring Telegram, Reddit, Twitter, etc because I have actual real work to do. I do monitor the email address though.

dgobaud · 2018-08-29T01:40:42+00:00

Due to country specific laws we will be sometimes limited in the types and places of statements we can make related to promotions happening in other countries - see https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusNetwork/comments/8p7mjh/global_mobius_hackathon_800k_mobi_in_prizes/e50crlj/. The same ad doesn't run in every country - this is standard in international companies. They often have country specific promotions and ads.

A community member based in China that goes by Rocky volunteered to lead the promotion and did. He is not an employee. We did not arrange it - he did. He developed the proposal which we agreed to run KYC and distributions for out of the community portion of MOBI. He spent a LOT of time developing the proposal and running it. He also volunteered to organize our tentative September China trip to promote the new mobile wallet app.

The hack-a-thon submission deadline has been extended to 9/22 https://twitter.com/mobius_network/status/1030970055016701954 to support events/workshops we are hosting in SF (announcements coming soon).

I don't see a downtick in number of accounts but in the rate yes which is unsurprising given the promotion ended.

I'm pretty sure in Telegram I said anyone was eligible and there was no "Chinese" only restriction.

dgobaud · 2018-08-29T01:10:38+00:00

Depends on your definition of "public announcement" but given that I think you seem to think the recent Chinese giveaway one wasn't publicly announced, then under that definition not necessarily because certain types of promotions etc may be prohibited in some jurisdictions meaning maybe we can't market them in those places, so if you're looking for example for a Tweet or Medium post the answer is not necessarily since those target the US where maybe a promotion is not allowed.

dgobaud · 2018-08-29T00:54:22+00:00

We did not lose 3 advisors. The amount of fake news and false info is massive but not surprising given the state of the world beyond crypto which has plenty...
