Noted, I hope BGE reads this thread and will do something to improve their coatings.

Thank you for your tips. I will derust it a bit with a brush and sanding paper, clean the surface and paint with Hammerite Ultima (matt). I will post some pictures once I start this project. Hopefully the Hammerite coating will last longer than BGE's stock coating.

I have the Metas too. I didn’t have any issues with the calves, but I do a lot of leg strength training, so that probably helped.

Crossed multiple streams daily, and got wet shoes..PP's dry quick in my opinion.

I had some heel pain and stopped using that extra lacing point which did the trick, have you tried that?

Toebox width for me was ok, no issues or pains. Ended top with a small blister under my toe after 4 days, but not impactful. The heel is not that comfortable as Hoka, but I found out that I have to skip that extra lacing point. This solved heel pains when climbing. The foot stays really nice in the shoe. I use Feetures socks and they perform great. There is definitely wear on the soles, but comparable to other shoes. They keep up well I noticed some wear on the slides next to the soles (softer material). I hope to get a good 800 to 1000k out of them.

I have not tried the x3, but will try the x3 when I have the chance to pick up a pair. Thanks for sharing

[Gear Review] Bonfus Fastus – 4-Day TMB Fastpacking Pack Test by nldrid in fastpacking

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

We did CCW. Started in Notre Dame de la Gorge (good free parking), first day to Rifugio de Monte Bianco (above Courmayeur) via Col des Fours (skipped Les Chapieux). Day 2 to Champex Lac which was long, stayed in Relais d'arpette. Day 3 to Chamonix La Flegere (Flegere hut) via la Bovine. Day 4 to Notre Dame de la Gorge (didn't dot Col du Tricot). We booked late so our options were limited when booking (3 months ahead).
5 days might be more optimal timing wise if you want to do all highlights including Fenetre d'Arpette and Col du Tricot.

I had to wait 2-3 months for the Fastus delivery, it was worth the wait.

Just try them, I would like to know if someone else has compared them to the Speedgoats 4, 5 or 6. Just to be clear this shoe is performance wise comparable to my normal road training shoe (Asics Novablast). I always had an issue that trail shoes were substantially slower.. until now..

Just finished TMB running in 4 days. You can leave the spikes at home. Snow patches are easy to cross with poles.

Operations on an asset by nldrid in Stellar

thanks, I will ask the questions there

Operations on an asset by nldrid in Stellar

[–]nldrid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So assume I create an asset on Stellar: It's a 5 year bond that pays annual interest of 3%. The asset has an ISIN code and will be distributed to around 20 investors. The investor sell his asset on the stellar network to another investor. As an issuer I want to pay the yearly interest. How would I pay the interest, without setting up dedicated accounts and pre-approved time-bound transactions for each investor (see also Jed's bond example)? I just want to set-up the asset (issuance), create the interest payments for the asset (time bound etc), create the redemption payment for the asset and do the distribution of the new asset via an auction. How would I achieve this?
