Hi! Welcome to Galactic Talk!

Tell us what brings you here! Do you have a project you are working on that uses Stellar? Are you a Lumen investor? Or do you just like following this great technology?

    Hello. I want to try out (experience) how this technology (Stellar network) works. I want to do something similar like - deposit 0,01 bitcoin, then to convert 0,01 BTC to 6,46Usd and then to convert to 5,85 Eur and then to send these 5,85 Eur funds to my PayPal account or vice versa. This is not possible with Stellar right now or is it? Why? Will it be possible someday? When?

    Yes, I am interested to invest in Lumens, but I am afraid that the market will be flooded with new Lumens (multiple give away programs) and the price could slide a lot, so it is more like donation rather than investing right now, isn't it?

      Hi MindaugasSeo , welcome to Galactic Talk!

      I want to do something similar like - deposit 0,01 bitcoin, then to convert 0,01 BTC to 6,46Usd and then to convert to 5,85 Eur and then to send these 5,85 Eur funds to my PayPal account or vice versa.

      The stellar network is a perfect fit for this use case. In theory you would use a BTC anchor to deposit your BTC on the stellar network. And then you would use the distributed exchange that is part of the Stellar network to convert between different currencies. And in the end you would transfer the Euros to your PayPal account through a PayPal anchor.

      The reason why it doesn't work right now is that there are no anchors accepting BTC or PayPal. As the Stellar network grows and more financial institutions join it, this should be an easy and fluid task to do.

      For me the price of cryptocurrencies always looks a bit random and that's why I don't like to "invest" in them. If I remember correctly Stellar.org was once also accepting donations. I'm not sure if they will do this again, but if they do it's a much better way to donate to the organisation than buying Lumens. On most exchanges you will not be buying Lumens directly from Stellar.org, it will be from other traders. Having a bit of stake in Lumens makes it more exciting to follow how the technology unfolds, as the price is positively reacting to good news. But following Stellar development can also be a rewarding experience without owning any Lumens.

        bkolobara Hi bkolobara, you may have seen my name on the slack channel. I am working on a project called eQuid that is built on Stellar. It has been a bit of a slow process but I am still at it. Is it okay with you if I talk about eQuid on this forum?

            Garth Hi Garth! Yeah, you are free to talk about all projects built on Stellar.

                I want to see Stellar change the world. Learning about the tech is humbling, and the potential applications are inspiring.

                bkolobara Hi I am starting to get some traction with eQuid and I want to direct people here for some tutorials. It could generate some traffic. Are you ok with this?

                    Garth Yes, sure. We can handle the traffic. I just want the topics to stay stellar related.

                        eQuid is built on Stellar and I want people to get a better understanding of that. So this forum will be a good place to accomplish both goals I think. Thanks

                        Garth actually there is a problem with wallet loading still
                        Hope on launch it's fixed

                          bkolobara Is there a way to upload screen shots in a post? I need this for the tutorials I am trying to post. Any suggestions?
