What Is Lumenaut

Lumenaut is a collective network, enthusiastic about Stellar technology. Lumenaut is a play-on-words based on "lumen" and "naut". The word "lumen" refers to the Stellar's network crypto-asset called Lumen and the word "naut" refers to astronaut or cosmonaut. If you like Stellar and hold Lumens (XLM) then you're a lumenaut, just like us.

Why Use Lumenaut Community Pool

Currently, there are other pools but they charge fees or gamble with the inflation payouts of their users. Due to the lack of a trustworthy or fair pool - we decided to create something better where no fees will be subtracted from your payment. You will receive the full and fair amount of your share of the weekly inflation distribution.

Safety of Lumenaut Community Pool

Inflation destination is a native option of the Stellar network. It's 100% safe because our pool only has access to your Public Key, which is the address you use to vote for our pool so we can know who you are and send you the inflation payment every week.

Lumenaut Community Pool is the public pool with biggest amount of votes, but even it is being used to enter the Stellar Build Challenge, Lumenaut most prominent "product" is not the pool, it is the team. All users involved in the collective are very friendly and new members can join our group any time to help us expand our products or improve the existing ones. I take also this opportunity to invite any developers reading this to join us. Bring your ideas, critique our ideas, audit our code, contribute with your code, or simply just join our slack and hang out with us.

You guys should set up reverse federation on your account. You already have the home domain set, so mapping ...BNAUT to something like "pool*lumenaut.net" would be easy

dzham Hello Johan!!

We thought on that, I also have some ideas that I didn't shared here or even with the group... Some are in our todo list, others pending... I didn't shared it here (hence the "More..." in the "Coming Soon" section) since it may never be released, but federation is one of them. Some of us (on the group) are very sceptical about it, we have high concerns about the security of it so we need to do it right, our image and trust from the user is our top priority so we cannot fail in anything offered by us, it takes a lot of time to build trust and only 5 seconds to destroy it all. The developer of xlmbox.com is on our group and we are thinking about adding his project (or clone it) to Lumenaut services and offer the service for free to everyone, the developer of stellarid.io is also on our group so he may give good support to implement it.

I want a federation service (and more) since the beginning but there's users much more experienced than me so I always listen to them first. Our main concern is the database so we are looking into how to make it secure and "immutable" so no hacking can occur. One of our members (Steve) commented about ipfs.io so I hope someone will look at it.

Unfortunately, we are self-founded and dependent of donations, we do everything in our free time and some things can that longer to implement. 🙁

I know there are security issues.. But you've already set your home domain, and home domains are there to map to a stellar.toml for reverse lookups of accounts.

janc

b1tcc A secure and immutable database? That sounds like a blockchain. Not sure where they're going with that ipfs suggestion. Also, I love Lumenaut. Thanks 🙂

b1tccis is also one of the most well-known and move active moderators on the stellar subreddit. Major props to them for that.

dzham b1tcc What @dzham meant was not a full federation service for users but a simple one just for the pool address.

Actually it reminded me that I should have reverse federation implemented on https://stellarid.io too.

This is one of the most inspiring projects, built by the community with tons of good vibe and intentions to do it well, results speak for themselves. Kudos to all involved.

umbrel

I really love what you're doing guys, especially the fact that you're doing that as a group. Let me know how to get on your slack and if I can be of any help.

b1tcc

umbrel Sure!! It's a pleasure to have you on board. 🙂

I will send you an invite on reddit since it appears we can not send PM here.

Great job! I am a big fan of this project.

@b1tcc @dzham You can setup a federation ID for lumenaut.net pool using https://stellarfed.org
You can use the email associated with lumenaut.net such as pool@lumenaut.net or info@lumenaut.net so that it does the lookup using the email as the email needs to be verified before use.

Nice job.
