Hey everybody, Just launched an experimental Stellar pool to be able to claim part of the inflation. If you're interested you can go to stellarinflationpool.com to participate. It's easy, free, anonymous (don't need to put your real email or name in the form) and you can get free Lumens if we reach our votes goal. Cheers.

We created a pool months ago but never got the minimal number needed yet to collect interest. https://pool.futuretense.io/ The site also contains the list of accounts of participants and what we now have in the pool. The pool funds are kept in a multi signature account to be sure everyone get's the funds and not just one.

It looks good. Reaching the 0.05% votes isn't an easy task for sure. The only thing is I wouldn't be comfortable entering my secret key.

True but at the time we wrote it no one trusted any of the wallets ether so it made no difference. But now they can use your instructions to change account setting or in my_wallet http://sacarlson.github.io/my_wallet/ at Advanced>Account Options>set_inflation_dest The default value is set to our pool. I think the Centuraus wallet also has default settings for it.

To be fair though, if you're hesitant about trusting someone with you key (which you should be), a wallet is thousands of lines of source code to audit, whereas the code for just setting inflation fits in one screen.

I agree with cedced about secret key. If someone has big number of Lumens, he will hesitate before pasting his secret key in a browser.

We are taking stellarinflationpool.com offline for a while. We have advised our participants to join https://pool.futuretense.io/
By doing that we hope to get at least one inflation pool reaching the required threshold and being able to claim the 1% reward.

Looks like we're about halfway there, at 27M XLM.

At the moment, you Still need 11 million
155 accounts signed up, 39,985,885.18 XLM in the pool
Any millionaire to negotiate with? ?

Which is the safest project so far?

I believe there must be "signer" app that would be very simple and auditable, you would run it in your computer, and would just sign transactions.

All sites out there would just generated transactions and either communicate directly with that service you're running or give you the generated XDR and expect the signed transaction back.

That "communication network" is what I started with https://constellation.futuretense.io/, and what I use for multi-sig/multi-party transactions in Stargazer. Still needs a lot of touching up, and expanding, so very much a work-in-progress (that's not being worked on ?)

What is the status of this pool?
How many XLM are still needed to reach the threshold?

fiatjaf

I don't understand exactly what Constellation does from reading the function names, but you have use-cases I hadn't thought of. So now I think some solution in this space is even more needed now.
