398 on coinmarketcap right now, up and down over the weekend, but most coins down today.

Lads, Little help here.

I didn't even know I had an account with it, Never use the email account for anything & for some reason I signed up when the original thing went around.

I went to log in & Safari had luckily saved my password.

According to the account details I have: 1100.999975 STR

So... What does this mean exactly? According to Hulacoins.com, it's worth €410.34 - is this right?

It's saying I need to upgrade - How?

I have a coinbase account, can I get this transferred into it?

If it worth sitting on it?

A nice read here from a blog post on the Stellar website https://www.stellar.org/blog/Q1-2018-stellar-and-state-of-crypto/

And also an interesting Stellar related tweet from the co-founder of Reddit https://twitter.com/alexisohanian/status/955531298902228992

A Dutch article predicting a potential 1000% increase in Lumens in 2018

https://slimbeleggen.com/trends/cryptomunt-maakt-volgens-4-experts-meeste-kans-om-1-000-stijgen-2018/

They do say the price by the end of 2018 could range between .75c and $20. They are really leaving some wriggle room for themselves with that prediction

I'd wet my pants if it went to $5. I'd require urgent medical attention if it went to $10.

I believe they will be going to 1000 euro. You probably bought a few thousand at a penny. How's your heart?

Is that a prediction you're making about lumens or euros value

Euros.

MIT review.
Real time transactions (2-5 seconds)
Regulatory compliance
Automatic currency exchange
International reach with a single integration
Cryptographically secure transactions
Payments that move with the smoothness and speed of email
Low fee for micro-transactions ($0.01 handles about 600,000 transactions)
With its Swiss Army Knife-like versatility Stellar has the potential to revamp peer-to-peer transactions on a global scale.

With IBM, KlickEx, Deloitte, Parkway Projects, and Tempo using Stellar for real-world adoption, Stellar lumens’ potential is finally being tapped into. And with everything going according to plan to make Stellar the future of currency exchange, things sure looks bright for the layman’s Ripple.

That would give it an 22 trillion dollar market cap

Stripe (who back Stellar) will remove support for Bitcoin payments. hence the price increase today.

moneymad · 24-01-2018 1:04pm

Stellar is an actual technology, that people will actually use. Most other technologies are nothing more than hype.

Bitcoin in its current form is a pos compared to stellar. I own bitcoins since2013.

I posted an article from Stripe on that in the alt coin thread yesterday. Interesting read.

XLM just overtaken Litecoin to go to #6 on cmc.

Is it a case of either or for Ripple and XLM or can they both co-exist ?

This is something I would be interested if anyone could weigh in on, whichever project you really look at they are all saying they will be better than the competitors, so its hard to find an unbiased opinion.

I keep a (relatively) small investment in both! Hoping the gains of one will offset any losses from the other.

moneymad · 24-01-2018 7:21pm

Xlm and ripple are both able to exist along side each other.
Money will pour into both in the coming years.
Visa have a blockchain which will compete with both. There's plenty of competition.
Ask yourself would you use xlm yourself? I would.

Whelo79 · 24-01-2018 7:23pm

Why would people think they can't both work at the same time? They are similar but have their own working differences and long terms goals.

Think of all the different banks that exist worldwide. All the different methods there are to currently transfer money around the globe and the people and institutes who would want to transfer money.

Ripple is more aimed at the banking sector and Stellar is aiming for companies and public adoption.

There are also the differences between being centralized and decentralized and for profit (ripple currently hold 60% of all RPX in existence) while Stellar are non profit and their excess supply of XLM are controlled by the Stellar Development Foundation which has no stock or profits passed out to individual investors.

There is absolutely no onus on any financial institute to use XRP as part of an implementation of Ripple xCurrent technology. In fact I’m genuinely struggling to see why they would do so, unless they needed access to some sort of ‘digital liquidity’ bound to FIAT. Even then they’d just launch their own version private ledger version of the coin to support such a transfer. The coin is being mixed up with the ripple block chain implementation

Yea, I've noticed XLM always seemed to ride on the coat tails of XRP (up and down together) but recent weeks not so much which is good news for XLM and investors see it on its own merits.

There's a 15BTC buy order sitting on Bittrex at 5123Sat's. That's gonna keep things afloat nicely for a while!

Edit: And just as I say that it got pulled, as did an 8BTC buy order at 5090 Sats.

XLM up to $0.62 this morning. Currently on a nice run

ECookie13 · 25-01-2018 11:41am

Can someone direct me to a nice little guide or tutorial as to how to withdraw stellar from the stellar account on their website, all the way to withdrawing to a bank account ?

Just so I am prepared. Thanks

You can go from XLM - Bitcoin - Euro - Withdraw

I think so.

It looks like you can do the Reverse

Deposit Euro - Bitcoin - XLM

OU812 · 25-01-2018 1:24pm

Kicking myself here

Locked out of my Coinbase where I’ve got bitcoin & cant get verified on kraken because I’m on a work computer. & meanwhile price has gone up 20% or so in 24 hours.

Gah!!!

Don't think so, I've always used SEPA going into Kraken. Credit cards are a very expensive way of buying crypto.

It wasn't heavy on the technical side but there was some very interesting info. SDEX and Lightning being the two biggest pieces of news.

I like how the operate, no fan fair, no hype. Just getting on with the work in the background. 37 partnerships signed up in 2017, that's pretty amazing too. A LOT to come from this company in 2018.

On a nice run at the moment. Would love to see a nice solid weekend of steady progression.

The_B_Man · 01-02-2018 11:08am

It's been dipping there now since Saturday. I bought more there, but if they keep going down, as they're my main coin, i'll have to do some thinking about what to do next...

I usually keep a bit of ETH on Binance for such dips, but I used it all up on that buy-in this morning.

OU812 · 01-02-2018 3:51pm

Where do you guys buy?

The_B_Man · 01-02-2018 5:18pm

I use Binance.
Give us a shout if you need instructions how to get setup.

brendanwalsh · 01-02-2018 6:57pm

I was very disappointed with the road map.

It seems to be holding up slightly against the onslaught to bitcoin from the butcher

Very sharp drop to $0.34 in the past day.

HONKEY TONK · 02-02-2018 11:39am

I got out at €0.50

I will jump back in if it hits €0.25

rapul · 02-02-2018 11:41am

stiil bought alot of stellar cheaper than it is now, im just holding everything , if I sell I will no doubt regret!

The_B_Man · 02-02-2018 12:32pm

I got out of XLM this morning and went all in on EOS.
Will see where that takes me in a few hours, and buy back into XLM.

Was grand.
Made enough in under 2 hours to buy a further 300 XLM at $0.36. Up to $0.42 now so I'm €150 better off than if I held.

Actually, tbh the only reason I sold the EOS and bought XLM at that time was coz I was leaving work to drive down the country for the weekend so I'd have no chance to sell while driving. Probably could have made a few more quid but sure it worked out grand.

howamidifferent · 02-02-2018 7:57pm

Likewise I traded some xlm for btc yesterday and switched back to xlm today for a gain of 700 extra xlm. Nice.
