Astral have receiving and sending path payments?

12 days later

zain I setup my astral wallet and received some XLM in return recently, thanks. Could you kindly explain how and which xlm pool my coins go towards. Or if easier, point me to a reference on explaining this concept in more detail. I can seem to locate a reliable source on this topic.

@elfbark sorry for the delayed response! We set the inflation destination to http://xlmpool.com/ 's address. XLM never leaves your account. They collect inflation by pooling votes, since 8 million votes are required to receive inflation. They keep 10%, and pass the other 90% directly to you. Other than setting the inflation destination automatically for your address, Astral plays no other part in this. You may read more about inflation here: https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/concepts/inflation.html

@Leki can you please elaborate on your question?

  • Signup flow is mobile responsive
    • One of our major complaints was the difficulty of signing up on a phone

    Astral Dev Update

    • Payment confirmations require 2FA codes

      From now on, a valid two-factor authentication code is required to submit a payment. We realize that this is inconvenient, but after weighing the tradeoffs, it is necessary. We apologize for those that find it a nuisance.

      This ensures that a client-side script injection can't submit payments on your behalf when you log in. It also defends your funds if you accidentally stay logged in to Astral and step away from your computer. We already automatically log you off after 30 minutes of inactivity, but this adds an extra layer of protection.

    • Better browser support for logging in

      Many of you complained that our login didn't work in certain browsers. We've pinpointed the issue, and now you should be able to log in from all browsers, even in incognito / private mode!

      We absolutely realize the value of private browsing.

    Thanks everyone for continuing to provide valuable feedback. We love you!

    Just a clarification on the prior update: there is no way to turn off 2FA authentication on outgoing payments. We realize it is inconvenient, but its well worth it!

    Hello zain Hi Zain - I just created an account at astralwallet.io because I read about the security. I sent my XLM to a wallet I created within my astral wallet. I do not see the balance and clearly see the TXID and the funds on the blockchain explorer.
