Hi all
What is the unique selling point of lightning on stellar, if stellar does already "scale enough" well and is "cheap enough"? What are possible use cases on stellar when lightning will be online? Are there any good articles already reviewing lightning on stellar? Thanks :-)
Many people believed and still do hope, that Tron, and Verge, and Ripple will go to $5 dollars, maybe $15-20 dollars
Tron, Ripple, and Verge all have over 50 billion in supply each. It amazes me how people have to take TRON seriously and VERGE seriously because those are SERIOUS real crypto currencies, but doge coin is just a silly one.
Doge coin has accomplished on accident, what all those other coins are attempting to accomplish on purpose.
Doge is truly the one, to rise to the top, and be adopted for everyday use.
Doge can absolutely become a Trillion dollar thing. Doge can absolutely become a multi billion dollar thing.
Doge coin will absolutely go to $1 dollar. if anyone can justify Ripple going to $15 dollars even though there are $50 billion XRP tokens. BECAUSE RIPPLE IS A SERIOUS CRYPTO COIN !!!! FOOLS!
DOGE WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST USED CRYPTO COINS IN THE WORLD
DOGE TO $1 DOLLAR $5 DOLLARS $20 DOLLARS
TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOON
- Unconfirmed: Chain.com Acquisition
“Using Sequence, organizations can securely manage their financial assets in a token format on private ledgers and, soon, seamlessly transfer them across public networks.”
Fortune is reporting that "Stellar is in talks to acquire Chain" with payment in the form of lumens.
This is unconfirmed, and, if it is true, it may be more likely that the acquirer is Lightyear, not SDF.
Chain applies cryptography - digital signatures, zero knowledge proofs, etc - to cloud-based ledgers (read: modern databases for money) for fintech customers like Visa and Nasdaq.
These customers already use the cloud for everything else, and now they want to run their ledgers in the cloud, too.
Chain’s Sequence product - a "ledger-as-a-service" - provides:
1- Digital Signatures:
Instead of having to run their own ledger inside their own security measures, customers pay Chain to run and manage their ledgers, but Chain itself cannot change these ledgers.
To update a ledger, a customer has to sign every transaction with their private key that sits behind their own security measures.
The amount they have to manage goes down significantly to just a private key.
2- Zero Knowledge Proofs (or something to that effect):
The data in the ledger is encrypted in such a way that Chain and third parties cannot see the data, but they can perform computations over that data.
- According to Chain;
“Using Sequence, organizations can securely manage their financial assets in a token format on private ledgers and, soon, seamlessly transfer them across public networks.”
If Stellar is that public network, this pairing would be similar to the Hyperledger/Stellar pairing that IBM provides: businesses perform their internal transactions on a private ledger and move balances on the Stellar network when moving money across borders and between businesses.
Issues with this acquisition might include greater centralization, depending on the acquirer.
Benefits of the acquisition would include using Sequence as a foot in the door for Stellar with big fintech companies, Chain’s talent, and putting lumens on the balance sheets of companies Visa and Nasdaq (who are also Chain investors, not just customers).

Hi all
is the stellar consensus protocol pair reviewed? If yes, could you share some resources pointing to the pair review? If not, what would need to happen to have a pair review of this part of the stellar whitepaper?
Thanks
