Rules

  1. No malicious behaviour

However, please note that this community thrives on engagement. The karma and 15 day post limit are in place to encourage new users to interact in the comments, share their thoughts and ideas, and learn about the Stellar ecosystem. By engaging the userbase, in this way, you do a service to your project AND the community. Please do not try to circumvent this practice as it will likely lead to a ban.

    Need help with viewing address on the go!

    Hi,

    I use trezor with a passphrase wallet to send and receive my xlm through stellar account viewer.

    The issue is I need to sign in with my trezor everytime I need to interact with the interface.

    Is there a way how I can view my xlm address to receive funds without using my trezor?

    Newbie question

    I acquired around 5,000 Stellar Lumens many years ago IIRC, just by signing up for newsletters etc.

    About 4 years ago I was scammed out of most of them by a very sophisticated scam that again, IIRC used the Stellar website as an intermediary. Needless to say, I got no official help and despite trying a number of avenues, the currency was never returned.

    I still have around 2,500 and for the longest time, they were worth next to nothing. That seems to be changing, for the moment anyway so I thought I’d resurrect my account and learn more albeit nervously after being scammed.

    Apologies if these following are in an FAQ - please point me at it if that’s the case.

    I seem to have Lumens now. I have a note that they were converted from Stellars some time ago. Do I have XLM or XRP or are they the same?

    I was able to check my balance by (nervously) entering my public key on StellarChain.io and it seemed legit. Is there a better / official place at Stellar.org I should use instead?

    I’d hate for the price to go dramatically up in a few years and then discover the secret key I have is invalid - how can I learn if my credentials are valid? (Sounds like an open invitation to be scammed again doesn’t it - please don’t).

    Thanks in advance. Be gentle with me. I’ve lost so much this year - I could use some good news.

    Lumen most marketable name for currency?

    The only marketable names I can think of for an actual digital currency that gets used on a mass scale are Stellar lumens or bitcoin. "Just sent you the lumens." It just sounds right. All the others have weird acronyms or things that don't roll off the tongue for a digital currency.

    Just a little meandering for amusement here. Are there any others that have this quality?

    10k in at 0.5?

    Nobody has a magic 8 ball, would this be a wise move right now? I see that it’s been moving sideways the past couple of days, it looks like it pulled back to .44 then it’s been steadily .49-.51. Do you think there will be another pullback?

    Sponsored reserved on Stellar Blockchain

    I recently noticed I was a sponsored reserve on Stellar. Can anyone explain to me if this is a benefit to me? The tokens are in a liquidity pool and from what I understand the activity and earnings generated by my coins are now controlled by the account I have sponsored. Do I receive any earnings from my investment? For now it just looks like I lost my initial investment.

    Aqua’s place in stellar system

    How many of you are savvy to the aqua token? I got in during the early release and kinda forgot about it. I know it “provides liquidity” but is this something the community sees being important to the ecosystem long term? I never see it talked about but I use LOBSTR wallet and it seems to be marketed there pretty heavily. I’m just curious how much the stellar community regards this liquidity token. Any insights are appreciated and GO STELLAR

    xInter (Stellar)Face

    Hi Stellar, part of my process lately has me researching my old wallets.

    Are there ways to connect multiple wallets through a dex such as StellarX with some level of a "traditional bank" account feature to clearly label them like savings, retirement, possibly debit, etc?

    Why I went all in on XLM & super stoked to be using it for my own gaming platform!

    XLM has great potential and capabilities!

    I had bought in and out of stellar for a long time until two weeks ago I after selling it off the 2nd time I bought in again at .13 or .14 and ended up saying screw it and liquidated everything to go all in averaging up to .35 lol

    I usually trade ex dividend stocks during the week and crypto on weekends and holidays. I made my final decision to go all in because I’ve started working on building a gaming platform using XLM and Soroban smart contracts to create an innovative gaming ecosystem where assets have real-world value, and players can enjoy secure, skill-based, and interactive gameplay!

    I’m in XLM all the way around!

    XLM and XRP

    I've been analyzing the graphs of both XLM and XRP, and they seem to move similarly. When XLM goes down, XRP tends to go down as well, and the same happens when one goes up. Is there any reason behind this correlation?

    In this situation would the price movements still be similar?

    What is the future of wallets?

    Multichain self-custody wallets could be a potential solution to the fragmentation issue in blockchain.

    These wallets work by making the Web3 ecosystem more user-friendly, functional, and interoperable, unifying crypto and trusting in self-custodial systems.

    Do you believe those wallets will be the ones to onboard 1 billion users?

    The ISO standard managing Digital Token Identifiers (DTI) is ISO 24165.

    So everyone believes iso20022 is old but ISO 24165. is not, iso20022 is evolving and getting closer to it's last phase of adoption with a 2025 deadline

    How much in % do you think Stellar could gain if they announce something truly huge?

    I am talking about something gigantic like from one or more major governments or major companies (i.e. Visa/MC, Apple, etc). Some thing bigger than anything that was ever done so far by Stellar.

    Stellar taking over XRP in position.

    Stellar is slowly proving itself a worthy competitor of XRP and trying to reach the top 5 crypto. 1st BTC, Solana (the ethereum rival) on its way to 2nd place, 3rd place for Ethereum, 4rth or 5th place is were Stellar is aiming right now.
