One of our goals is to develop a reward system for content creators. For this, we will use Albedo, which allows anyone to securely reward/donate content creators. Albedo allows other Stellar apps to request transaction signing or identity verification without ever exposing your secret key, here you can find more details about how Albedo works: https://albedo.link/ . For the moment, we have implemented a “Login With Albedo” feature, check out the video below: And now we will focus on developing the payment widget that will be used by users and content creators to securely send and receive payments on the Stellar Network.

About us link updated. User registration and validation. User email validation with Nodemailer. Login Redux state fix. Profile creation. Resources section updated (added stellarbeat.io). EduNode's vision is to help community members to learn about Stellar, connect with other members and to facilitate them with the necessary resources to start building on Stellar. If you have any question or feedback, it will be highly appreciated.

Hello Stellar Community, here are some additional updates for EduNode: New projects (Astrograph and StellarGuard) have been added to the Resources list. New list called "Community initiatives" including StellarBattle, Lumenthropy and Armajeddon. New page called "Projects", including some of the most innovative projects on Stellar Feel free to check them out -> https://edunode.netlify.app/ , and as always your feedback will be highly appreciated.

Some further updates: Added a icon + link to the Keybase team of some of the projects (thanks to @Jay7 for the suggestion). Moved the location of the map (from the upper part to the bottom), in order to allow a better visibility of the community page (thanks to @magofox for the suggestion). Added DSTOQ to the list of projects. Login with Google enabled.

OlvisGilRios Great idea to unite everyone from the Stellar community by marking locations on the map. This would greatly bring together those who are nearby but even have no idea about it)

OlvisGilRios Hi, good to see there is more educational work going on. We are doing meetups in Munich and workshops online for Stellar. As Vienna is not far from Munich there might be a chance to meet up sometimes.

See more details on our activities here: https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/Stellar-org-Munich-Meetup-Group/

Scopuly Thank you very much! Indeed, I noticed that there were many communities of enthusiasts in Keybase and Twitter, so I thought it would be useful to gather them into a single map where anyone can easily find them and connect regardless of their location.

OlvisGilRios

smartstellar Cool! I believe that educational work is key for adoption. And absolutely, I will be more than happy to meet. By the way, I have updated the "Meetups" section and have included "Stellar Munich" on the list 🙂. -> https://edunode.netlify.app/community
