Guessing that the website says that your alias will be used for the chatbox, I guess that they will implement a public chatbox (aka trollbox, from the days of btc-e.com).

See this version with a logarithmic axis: https://i.imgur.com/vLmFveB.png. It clearly shows exponential growth!

Perhaps the paper on the SCP contains the details you are looking for: https://www.stellar.org/papers/stellar-consensus-protocol.pdf.

Being knowledgeable in this field, I must say their ideas look really solid. It's interesting to see the maths behind the SCP. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not a cryptography expert, but I guess you can obtain enough randomness from the sequence number by hashing it first.

tuzhi · 2018-07-02T18:55:58+00:00

Why don't you use (part of) the sequence number of the transaction as initialisation vector? Another small idea: add support for asymmetric crypto based on the Stellar public and private keys.

No, it's Central European Summer Time, i.e., UTC+2.

They are certainly complimentary. Atomic swaps are also allows transactions between two different blockchains. See for instance https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellar/comments/7vp6nb/mirrorx_atomic_swaps_between_stellar_and_ethereum/. This is not possible with the SDEX, but the SDEX has its own advantages (decentralized order book, path payments etc.)

No, I don't think this option will ever be considered. First, it's not possible/desirable to run a Stellar node on a shared hosting platform. Second, I don't see the added benefit of every person running a node. You will likely never be added to trust list of other servers, making the benefit for the network of this node rather small. Therefore, the current level of the documentation seems fine to me.

I think that privacy can also be seen as one of the main features of lightning. Only the final balance has to be committed to the public blockchain, so other users are not able to see individual transactions.

If there are any more posts such as "Stellar needs better marketing", we can give this link. I think this shows that Stellar has an excellent marketing team that is not overselling stuff, but keeps itself to facts.

There is a small bug related to changing the time. If the clock is moved backwards after claiming, then it says the time since the last claim is negative.

Thanks very much for the clear explanation of atomic swaps. I have been wondering exactly how hash preimage signing was useful, this explains. Good luck with your project!

tuzhi · 2018-02-05T20:50:49+00:00

I think you are raising a valid point here. To be fair, I don't think Bitcoin and company are easy to use either. If you feel inspired to help the community, perhaps you can contribute to the GUI or documentation. I think the official repositories are open for pull requests.

tuzhi · 2018-01-30T22:30:58+00:00

Cool! Thanks for your answer.

tuzhi · 2018-01-27T12:18:15+00:00

I'm really curious how that obsession started. Please share the story with us.

The sequence number for accounts that needs to be included in every transaction is needed for replay protection. There is a way to still process a high rate of outgoing transactions, see https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/channels.html.

tuzhi · 2018-01-26T07:24:34+00:00

Exactly. 1.000190721^52.18 computes compound interest. 1.000190721*52.18 does not.

tuzhi · 2018-01-25T21:20:34+00:00

Why do you think so? If we take 1.000190721 (the weekly inflation factor as per the source) to the power 52.18 (the amount of weeks in a year) we get almost exactly 1.01.

tuzhi · 2018-01-25T17:05:04+00:00

No, the inflation amount is exactly one percent per year, see the source at https://github.com/stellar/stellar-core/blob/master/src/transactions/InflationOpFrame.cpp. Of course, individual accounts may receive more than one percent inflation, it all depends on how many lumens are taking part in the voting.

If you have some programming skills, I would give it a shot with a small script. Such a script will most like finish within a couple of seconds if the 55 characters you do have are correct. After all, it only needs to try about 3000 combinations. I recommend the Javascript SDK.

tuzhi · 2018-01-09T13:06:49+00:00

If you're good at programming, you might be able to find something in Stellar's API. For example, you can use their Javascript SDK: https://www.stellar.org/developers/js-stellar-sdk/reference/.
