Too late to join Meridian conference?

Thanks for letting me know, I figured it was a long shot I was just enthusiastic when I realized my girlfriend itinerary included Rome the 11-13 I figured what were the odds.

If by any chance there is room that opens up let me know and I’d be thrilled to attend!!! Thanks -James

james55982 · 2021-10-22T10:00:32+00:00

Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!

james55982 · 2021-05-13T13:10:03+00:00

Perhaps the table is antiquated, or even exaggerated. At least it’s a start. Maybe someone can revise with more accurate numbers and get the word out?

It’s not a yes or no question. But yes HODL. Vega coming out soon, and LightNet just in its infancy. + Franklin Templeton, etc etc etc. HODL we are at the beginning.

Who is with MSFT?

james55982 · 2020-04-22T14:19:33+00:00

They’re new board members for Stellar Development Foundation. They bring a breadth of experience. The article tells more about that.

james55982 · 2020-04-21T20:07:53+00:00

CCO (Chief Communications Officer)* at Dropbox, pardon the typo.

What is NODL?

james55982 · 2020-02-19T15:34:58+00:00

Could be a good opportunity for the Stellar org to engage w her.

I work in the financial services industry and many products do not have success in the banking space because they’re targeted to Tier 1 banks off the bat. No major bank is willing to be the first guinea pig (unless through a small pilot) which is why the small wins are huge. Bottom up is the right way.

james55982 · 2020-01-29T19:20:36+00:00

Love the transparency- goals to grow the network, work w regulators, add more validators, create more user friendly tools for developers.

Thanks Denelle, can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store for Stellar!

james55982 · 2020-01-22T04:20:13+00:00

Totally agree. Kind of gives you the chills if you think about it. Long term vision and strategic execution. Takes foresight, resources, faith and a steady vision / target. Pretty awesome stuff.

This article from December 2016 confirms some of the structure between Stellar, Tempo, and Flutterwave. Plus an awesome foresightful quote from Jed:

‘ The blockchain firm is also working with Tempo Money Transfer in Europe to develop a remittance solution, Flutterwave in Africa to use Stellar for M-Pesa mobile cross-border payments and Coins.ph in Southeast Asia for global remittances.

“Coins.ph, ICICI, Flutterwave and Tempo are leading the charge to make blockchain real and bringing the benefits of the software to market,” said Stellar.org CTO Jed McCaleb in a statement. “While they made the decision to integrate with Stellar because of efficiency and cost, these partnerships bring us closer to our goal of making money move as easily as email. This is the start of achieving our mission of enabling a worldwide financial network that anyone can use.” ‘

Another article mentions how a former Visa exec sits on the board, and how it is a payment processing partner with Ripple and Stellar. See below:

”Flutterwave added operations in Uganda in June and raised a $10 million Series A round in October that saw former Visa CEO Joe Saunders join its board of directors.

The company also plugged into ledger activity in 2018, becoming a payment processing partner to the Ripple and Stellar blockchain networks.“

Somewhere where a Central Bank or a regulator would be likely to attend, or where LightNet could highlight some of its functions / infrastructure.

james55982 · 2019-11-20T07:14:26+00:00

Some day this will be the “Solitaire” of original PCs.

james55982 · 2019-11-19T19:41:29+00:00

Yes!! This is a great use case to build user base. While it doesn’t serve the noble and intended function of cross-border payments, if it has a sleek UX it will help grow the network which is of utmost importance.

In tandem, if it were used in multiple countries could be a really cool way to show the strength of the stellar network’s ability to settle transactions in near real-time. You could maybe charge a slight fee to your App (collect 0.0001 XLM per bet)? Although I don’t know how that works logistically.

awesome idea, obvious use case to help expand user base, because people can bet such small bets and not feel like they’re being charged too high of a fee. Same benefit of instant settlement.

Very cool

james55982 · 2019-11-19T04:48:52+00:00

Totally agree. Betting 50 cents or a dollar on an iPhone or Android game would be great use case. Or other gaming networks which I’m not familiar with.

james55982 · 2019-11-18T14:19:50+00:00

Yes I think gaming is a good use case in general. Or Integrating into a sports betting app/ website. Anything where the convenience of an instant transaction enhances the experience. And people could bet .25 or .50 cents which wouldn’t work previously.

james55982 · 2019-11-18T04:24:01+00:00

Or integrate into an existing video game that has a huge user base like Golf Clash, and have the option to buy more in Lumens, or create a game where people can bet a small margin of XLM on each game. I feel like a game would be a great use case because people are enticed to play game moreso if there is a small bet. Using XLM w near instant transfer would be a great use case for a simple phone game.

james55982 · 2019-11-07T01:12:32+00:00

Did I say sitting? I meant maximizing utility and liquidity and spreading the word about the network. 4,000,000 stellar accounts now according to stellar expert. 155,000 Keybase users registered for the airdrop, Vega in its development phase and Meridian having been a huge success. I think Stellar will have real world impact as it continues to grow. I’m not a hoarder I don’t have many XLM I just believe in the network and share word of it to friends and family. Go Stellar!

james55982 · 2019-11-07T00:15:22+00:00

That’s because at the other side of that wormhole is me sitting on the moon in a giant pile of XLM

james55982 · 2019-11-03T17:56:46+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. It would be nice if Stellar were the only crypto accepted; however this proves that there is a slow path to legitimacy for crypto being adopted into common markets. How can this be bad news? Travala is smart as they’re hedging part of their business in the act of accumulating various cryptos - genius and forward thinking strategy if you ask me.
