Stakenet’s vision: Part VI — The future of trading
By: Stakenet Team
Tags: Lightning Network, Bitcoin, Xsn Articles, Strike, Connext Network

The future: Layer 2 and above

In the near future, we expect to see almost all decentralized trading taking place on layer 2 as Bitcoin and Ethereum adoption grows and their blockchains’ transaction pipelines become more prized, urgent, and more important to optimize.

This means no more on-chain trading or spending and no more moving funds back and forth between the blockchain and layer 2 payment channels.

Instead, we will see direct fiat-to-layer 2 ramps (and the other way around) and all trading and movement of funds will occur instantly for minuscule fees that equal fractions of pennies across multiple chains. The most famous lightning on-ramps are Strike, Bottlepay, and Lastbit.

This could result in the following scenario:

A user, let’s call him Bob wants to increase his XSN position. He currently has no BTC at his Stakenet wallet or on an Exchange. Because Bob is expecting an increase in the price, he wants to be fast. Depositing USD at his exchange might take from hours to days and would include on-chain transactions, so he is using the fastest way possible:

He easily buys Bitcoin, for example, at his Strike app with his credit card, which gets executed within seconds.

Some seconds later Bob goes on to buy some XSN with this newly bought Bitcoin. For this, he needs to deposit some Lightning BTC to his Stakenet light wallet. As this isn’t his first transaction, he already has existing channels in his Stakenet wallet.

The withdrawal from his Strike app gets executed via the Lightning Network, therefore the deposit to his Stakenet light wallet gets confirmed within seconds. The same goes for a trade, where BTC and XSN are swapped by using Lightning Swaps.

Bob has gone now from USD on his credit card to XSN in his own Stakenet light wallet within seconds and very low transaction fee. What a time to be alive! he thinks.

This was only a short scenario to explain easily how fast and cheap things will be once (almost) everything is happening on Layer 2.

Stakenet DEX — Fee Structure. With the Stakenet DEX we want users to…
By: Stakenet Team
Tags: Lightning Network, Masternodes, Bitcoin, Xsn Articles, Cryptocurrency

Channel Rental Fees

It is often the case that you send one currency to an exchange in the hopes of trading it for one or more different currencies. If this is the case, then this is the section for you:

With the DEX, you can send your chosen currency and open a Lightning Channel with it. Once opened, you can then rent an additional channel in the currency you want to trade.

To give you a clearer picture, say you’ve sent over your BTC to your wallet and you’re in the mood for buying LTC but you don’t have any of that. You can use some of the balance within your BTC channel to rent a LTC Lightning Channel which will allow you to receive LTC over the Lightning Network.

That sounds pretty cool, but what’s the cost to me? The cost of renting a channel is related to how much capacity you want that channel to have and how long you want the channel for. The DEX will charge you 0.004% per hour, based on how much you want that channel to be able to receive. In addition to this, there is a one-off network transaction fee that is applied at the same time as renting the channel. This is the same fee that is applicable if you were to send a transaction.

So if you rent a channel with a capacity of 1 LTC and you want it for a couple hours. This means that you will be charged 0.00008LTC and this will be converted into BTC at market rates (as you are choosing to use your BTC channel to pay for this rental), which would only be 0.000000372683568 BTC or $0.003410613672552.

Renting A Lightning Channel is as simple as this:

Tutorial to convert Lightning Network BTC balance to BTC balance (via Coinkit or any LN wallets) Macovei Claudiu Feb 29, 2020·3 min read

We will discuss in this article how to change your LightningNetwork BTC BALANCE to BTC BALANCE.

You will need a BITFINEX EXCHANGE account which you can setup for free if you do not own one, where you will convert LN to BTC.

*If you do not know what Lightning Network is, please head to lightning.network to get familiarized*

Let’s start

First of all you have to deposit your LN satoshis balance that you want to convert to BTC balance into BITFINEX account you created earlier.

WALLET -> DEPOSIT

Click on Wallet -> Deposit as you see above and after that you will see the deposit page as you see on left.

Here on deposit page, search in CRYPTOCURRENCIES for Lightning Network and you will find :

BITCOIN (Lightning Network)

Select it and you will be moved to LN deposit page

On the deposit page you will be asked following :

For our example we will found Exchange Wallet with 1000 satoshi ( 0.00001000 BTC )

Generate the invoice for deposit and you will have a LN invoice generated :

Now it’s time to pay the invoice we just created.

You can use Wallet of Satoshi or BlueWallet or any other LN services that allows you to pay invoices.

I will use tipbot Coinkit_ which have integrated LN services. to pay this invoice.

I will copy the invoice from BITFINEX and from TWITTER @Coinkit_ DM I will use 2 commands:

1./changecoin BTC

2./withdraw <invoice> <amount> ;

Our example will be :

<invoice> -replace this with your invoice you generated on BITFINEX : lnbc10u1p095uydpp57tapt559df8cpwmpqfkdleusew7qhxe7r89ff9eu6z0pusvgth7qdp5vdjrvwf3vgurge3nv5mnzwpevdnrjwfsvvurycfsvfskgdm9xs6qcqzpgxqzjcsp5mugan9z0c9ltecyz7vwhc3xy74amjg9r2ajzy8vp8dsxtckg53vq9qy9qsqpek6e0p3wqcmpran4dhjdzp9h5fctauyk37j9004hk2ze4vl53jxyz9h7kt6ac0shdm0znkduzd8jt7kjsw5gzn9kpy7safr57g5mzcqs20h4q

<amount> -replace this with the amount you will pay : 1000 SATOSHI

This command will pay the invoice from BITFINEX :

Perfect !!

Now we have 1000 LightningNetwork satoshis ( LNX ) on exchange and it’s time to convert from LNX to BTC

For converting your 1000 LNX you need to go to Wallet -> Wallets:

From here look for CURRENCY CONVERSIONS:

So if we want to change our 0.00001000 LNX -> 0.00001000 BTC we will use following convert details there:

Click on CONVERT and your LNX will be transformed into BTC:

As you can see my 1000 SATOSHI from LNX transformed into BTC.

( I had 100 satoshi from initial testing that’s why balance is 0.00001100 BTC )

And that’s all , now if you want , you can use your fresh BTC BALANCE to trade on BITFINEX EXCHANGE :

Hope that you like this tutorial and that you learned how to change LN BALANCE to BTC BALANCE.
Chaincode Summer Residency 2020

Tags: Residency, Lightning Network, Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin, Chaincode

Lightning: June 1–5; Bitcoin: June 11–19

We’re thrilled today to be announcing our fifth residency program, hosted in our office in New York in June 2020.

Over the last 4 years, we’ve hosted a series of residencies to help train and develop the next generation of Bitcoin and Lightning protocol and application engineers.

Chaincode’s mission is to support Bitcoin, and we believe a critical part of that work is creating a welcoming, inclusive environment for less experienced contributors to find their start in Bitcoin.

We’ll host two seminar sessions, one for Lightning and one for Bitcoin protocol development (applicants can apply to both):

The Lightning session (June 1st — 5th) will cover the history of payment channels and the Lightning Network; the BOLTs; routing and liquidity; attack vectors and privacy considerations; and the future of Lightning. Previous guest speakers include Tadge Dryja, Alex Bosworth, Christian Decker and Fabrice Drouin.

The Bitcoin session (Jun 11th — 19th) will cover the history and philosophy of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Core; how to be an effective contributor; the categorization of threat models; consensus issues and soft forks; and fungibility, privacy and scalability concerns. Previous guest speakers include Pieter Wuille, Matt Corallo, Giulia Fanti and Ethan Heilman.

We’re extremely proud of our ressies, and of the work we’ve done to help onboard deserving new contributors into the Bitcoin developer world. Our alumni have done extraordinary things across the Bitcoin ecosystem, whether that’s joining companies to contribute to open source projects (Carla Kirk-Cohen, Alex Bosworth and Johan Halseth at Lightning Labs; Amiti Uttarwar at Xapo; James O’Beirne at DG Labs; John Newbery and Antoine Riard at Chaincode Labs), running organizations (Neha Narula at MIT DCI), starting their own companies (Chris Stewart at SuredBits; Andre Neves at Zebedee) or becoming influential individual contributors (Rene Pickhardt as an educator; Will O’Beirne by launching Lightning Joule; Pierre Rochard as a developer and advocate; Fabian Jahr as an OKCoin-sponsored full-time Bitcoin contributor). Our residents have diverse backgrounds and come from all over the world, but they have some things in common: they’re talented and passionate about Bitcoin and Lightning.

So if you love Bitcoin or Lightning, you’re eager to learn, and you’re ready to make impactful contributions to the open source ecosystem, then we’d love for you to apply. We truly believe the Chaincode Residency offers a unique opportunity to catapult your Bitcoin career.

We’ll provide lunch and a beautiful workspace located in Midtown Manhattan. Travel and accommodation are provided on a case-by-case basis. Come join us for a life-changing educational experience in one of the most vibrant cities in the world this summer.
Lightning in the Wild: Victoria Kayak
By: Roy Sheinfeld
Tags: Point Of Sale, Lightning Network, Kayaking, Bitcoin, User Experience

In the story of the 47 Ronin, there’s this great quote:

No matter how spectacular their beauty, the deer hunter never sees the mountains.

It expresses the idea of tunnel vision, focus. The deer hunter is so focused on his activity and his prey that he becomes blind to the implacable beauty of his surroundings. He’s so engrossed that he missed billions of tons of rock covered in picturesque trees and softly falling snow.

Whether shooting an arrow or a picture, background matters. (Image: BLM Wyoming)

Building a Lightning platform is sometimes like that. It’s a constant stream of technicalities: rebalancing a channel, chasing down a bug, wrestling with an intransigent API, rebalancing the channel, responding to users’ queries, rebalancing the channel, pushing out a new release, taking a call with a VC, finishing that blog post, rebalancing that $#%& channel.

It’s all too easy to let the backend become our deer, the thing we focus on to the exclusion of all else. But the backend is just a means to another end — the frontend, to be exact. And we know that most Lightning users live in that frontend. That’s where the future of the Lightning economy will be decided.

Lightning is only as good as its UX: how users use it and how they feel when using it. Therefore, it’s important to gather that data, to go out and actually, y’know, ask them.

That’s the point of this post, which is likely to grow into a series. The idea is to shift the focus from abstract “use cases” back to concrete users. Let’s have a look at the people actually using Lightning, how they use it, what they need it for, what they love about it, what they don’t, and what they’re hoping we’ll yet be able to realize.

So without further ado, allow me to introduce you to a fantastic, visionary business that has Lightning up and running: Victoria Kayak.

How a Kayak company got their feet wet with Lightning

First, the vitals: Victoria Kayak is located in the lovely inner harbor of Victoria, Canada (contact info below). They rent out equipment and run kayaking tours around the southern tip of Vancouver Island, showing off the breathtaking coastline and charming aquatic megafauna.

Bitcoin is not a bank-funded or country-funded fund. It is actually a virtual currency. Bitcoin is a virtual currency as you know about currencies like rupee, dollar, pound, etc., and can be taken or given digitally as well. This is different from the rest because we can touch and see the notes and coins of other currencies, but Bitcoin cannot be touched. It can only be stored in a digital wallet. And you can spend it according to your usage.

You would be surprised to know that five years ago the value of one bitcoin was only five rupees. Today (22 March 2021) the price of a bitcoin is close to around 42 lakh rupees. It is a different matter that this coin is not visible to anyone because it is a kind of digital coin

Bitcoin is the first decentralized currency in the world (ie it has no parent, no control of RBI or any other financial institution) which is created only for the digital world. Bitcoins can be used anytime, anywhere in the world. .Through bitcoins, any person can send money to any other person in the world and therefore no help from any bank or any third-party agencies is required.

It was started by a man named Elias Satoshi. But let us tell you who is a person with this name, no one knows till this day. Some people claim to be Satoshi-Naka-moto, but no one is still aware of the real parent of Bitcoin. Its popularity was also not very special, but today it is a very valuable and hard-to-find currency. Bitcoin trading is being done secretly in India too, although the government has warned about it. The Reserve Bank has also given strict instructions on bitcoin.

Bitcoin trading takes place through the digital wall. The price of bitcoin is the same at a time around the world, so its trading became famous. The price of bitcoin keeps on decreasing according to the activities of the world. It is not determined by any country but…..

Bitcoin the New Currency Becomes a Standard
By: Zapata Ibrahim
Tags: Bitcoincash, Bitcoin Wallet, Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the new currency that has finally come around as a standard for payment by over 100,000 merchants. It’s an exciting new way to pay for goods or invest. Investing in bitcoins or buying goods requires the purchaser to have bitcoins to trade with. There are several ways to get bitcoins.

One way is to buy bitcoins from a bitcoin exchange. If you choose this way it’s best to find a licensed vendor. There are many vendors now who are licensed in their jurisdictions to trade bitcoin. Check in your locale for licensed bitcoin vendors.

Another popular way to get bitcoins is by exchanging them for gift cards. Amazon, iTunes, even Starbucks all offer gift cards that can be exchanged for bitcoins. One of the most popular sites for this is Paxful. Once you sign up for an account you can then trade gift cards for bitcoins. Or use your cash to buy gift cards. For example, if you have a $50 gift card from iTunes, you put your request out there and Paxful will hook you up with a seller. You will almost never get $50 of bitcoins since the seller now has to somehow get their money back on the gift card but you may get $45 in bitcoin for $50. Deals vary from seller to seller. The cool thing about gift cards is you only need the gift card and receipt. No names are exchanged it’s a completely encrypted transaction. Hence the name cryptocurrency.

The drawback of cryptocurrency is it can be used for money laundering and hiding money in general. China, while it hasn’t banned cryptocurrency, has stopped bitcoin ICOS. Some of their exchanges have closed. Bitcoin in China trades at a discount to the rest of the world. Japan, on the other hand, has added more than 10 places to legally exchange bitcoin adding another option for the bitcoin buy/sell experience.

$20 of bitcoin in 2008 is now worth over $20,000,000. The bubble may burst or just fluctuate but it looks like bitcoin is here to stay.

For those who are looking to invest, getting bitcoin is pretty much the same. Buyers need to go to an exchange and buy the coins. Some places allow credit cards, Paypal and bank transfers. After that the bitcoin is yours to hold and sell dear! Whether using bitcoins for making purchases or investing or selling, it’s an exciting new entry in the world of currency.
How to invest in crypto currencies like Bitcoin

The bitcoin wallet is what you’ll use to access your bitcoins and to ship bitcoins to other individuals. You’ll have the option to acquire a bitcoin wallet from a bitcoin dealer reminiscent of Coinbase.

If you open up a pockets by means of an authorized broker, you may be given a bitcoin tackle which is a series of numbers and letters, equally to an account quantity for a bank account and a non-public key which is a collection of numbers and letters as well, which function your password.

You can do three things with bitcoins, you may also make a purchase order, send money anonymously to someone or put it to use as an investment.

More and more merchants have been accepting bitcoins as a type of payment.

By utilizing bitcoins as a substitute of money, you’re basically making that purchase anonymously.

The same factor goes for sending money, primarily based on the truth that you shouldn’t have to submit a mountain of payment so as so that you just can set up a bitcoin anonymously, essentially you probably can ship money to another person anonymously.

The worth of a bitcoin fluctuates from time to time.

Simply to put issues in perspective, again at first of 2013, the average price of a bitcoin was roughly $400 per bitcoin, however by the end of 2013, the value for bitcoin rose to over $1000.

This meant that in the occasion you had 2 bitcoins price $800 in the beginning of 2013 and additionally you stored it as an investment by the end of 2013 these two bitcoins would have been worth over $2000 instead of $800.

Many people store bitcoins due to the reality that the value of it fluctuates.

Because of the anonymity of bitcoin the gambling trade has taken up bitcoin as a payment method.

Each bitcoin casinos and bitcoin poker sites are coming to life and providing their players to make deposits, play with bitcoin on the tables and withdraw directly to their bitcoin wallet.

Which means there is no taxes or possibilities for government control.

Very comparable to a daily Nevada casino the place do you needn’t register anywhere and all your transactions are anonymous.

In order for you to pay for goods and companies or to ship bitcoins to an individual, 3 things are needed.

Your bitcoin handle, your private key and the individual’s bitcoin address.

From that time, via your bitcoin pockets, you’ll put three pieces of information, that are: input, stability and output.
THE INTELLIGENT CRYPTOCURRENCY REVIEW 2021
By: Naren Godara
Tags: Cryptocurrency Investment, Cryptocurrency News, Bitcoin Wallet, Cryptocurrency, Cruptocurrency

WHY CRYPTOCURRENCY?

Where else do you get a chance to potentially make 10x, 50x or even as much as 277x returns in less than a year?

I believe we’re on the cusp of the biggest cryptocurrency bull market we’ve ever seen. Bitcoin has now traded over $28,000 and I believe it’s just the start of a run to multi-six figures per BTC and a cryptocurrency market cap in the TRILLIONS!

But forget about Bitcoin. the time to buy that was months ago when it was still trading under $10,000. Sure, it may however go up to $100,000 or more in the future, but that’s “only” a 5x and it would take ENORMOUS capital to get it to that level.

yes i want to join intelligent cryptocurrency

In the cryptocurrency world, making a 5x sometimes happens in a week!

There are thousands of cryptocurrencies (known as altcoins) and several of these have the potential to massively better Bitcoin because they have much smaller market caps.

We saw this happen in the 2017 bull market… and I think it’s about to repeat again in the next 12 months (2021).

COULD A SMALL 5% NET WORTH BET QUADRUPLE YOUR NET WORTH?

Smart investors know that when it comes to investments or life in general, nothing is guaranteed. In fact, anyone who guarantees returns of any kind with 100% confidence is a giant red flag.

Smart investors look for asymmetric bets. This means they look for opportunities that have a downside of what’s invested but an upside that is 10x-100x or more.

yes i want to join intelligent cryptocurrency

Why?

Simple. Investing is a numbers game. Most maximum investors have losing investments on a regular basis. You can’t win them all. But. if for every lost investment you make up for at least 10x on the upside with your winners, you’ll end up very very wealthy.

Cryptocurrencies are an asymmetric bet.

On the downside, they could go to zero and you can lose what you put in.

yes i want to join intelligent cryptocurrency

On the upside, they could return 10x, 30x, 50x, 100x, or even more.

We saw this in 2020 with a cryptocurrency called LEND that rose in value by more than 27,144% in a period of just over 365 days. Had you bet $1000 on this cryptocurrency back in September 2019, you could have profited as much as $271,000 by August 2020.

Experts expect cryptocurrency cycles to repeat as they have over the past 4 years. If this will happen, then there will be many cryptocurrencies that will provide enormous returns.

All you need to do is be early and make a few small bets on a few high-potential cryptocurrencies and wait for the cycles to play out. That’s it.

Bitgesell Coin
Tags: Bitcoin Mining, Bitcoin Wallet, Cryptocurrency Investment, Enterpreneurship

Bitgesell is a crypto ecosystem that improves upon Bitcoin’s digital gold model by addressing some of its shortcomings. The platform implements a futuristic model of Bitcoin in the present day, which cuts short the time otherwise required by any cryptocurrency to attain that model as part of their evolution.

The Bitgesell protocol makes use of an advanced SHA-3 based Keccak hashing algorithm, which is much more capable than the current SHA-2 standards used by Bitcoin. The increased cryptographic security as well as superior hardware-based cryptographic routines supported by SHA-3 optimizes the Bitgesell blockchain for energy-efficient mining. The creators of Bitgesell view BGL as a cryptocurrency designed for buying and holding — an essential investment digital coin.

They also believe that the higher transaction costs associated with transactions of BGL will deter people from using it criminal activities or unfair manipulation of the market and rather use it for capital investment.

Where is my Bitcoin?
Tags: Bitcoin, Blockchain Wallet, Bitcoin Wallet, Cryptocurrency, Blockchain

You’ve just bought Bitcoin. What now?

Now that you have purchased your first bitcoin it’s a good time to review exactly what you’ve just bought, and how to safely store it.

To begin, consider that while it’s easier to think about a bitcoin as an object existing somewhere in cyberspace, this is not exactly the case. It’s more like a balance in an account, known as a wallet. The list of all wallets and their balances is called the blockchain.

Wallets can be thought of as the basic structure of Bitcoin. If you control a wallet, no one can take it away from you without your permission. It is the most secure way to hold a currency or asset in history. Controlling a wallet takes some work and knowledge, but as a Bitcoin user the option is always there for you.

An easier method for new users would be to trust a company like us to hold them for you. Here’s how that works.

You just bought bitcoin through Blockchain.com, or some other provider. That means you have an account with the service you used, and they show you the balance of bitcoins you have.

You own these coins, and we will be happy to send them wherever you like. But it is important to remember that we are holding your coins for you. You trust us. The wallet on the bitcoin blockchain that controls these coins is controlled by us, not you. When you ask us to send your coins somewhere, we make a transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain on your behalf.

Sound familiar? This is similar to how the financial system has worked for ages. You trust the bank to hold your money and when you make a payment you are authorizing them to move it on your behalf.

With Bitcoin however, the revolutionary concept of self-custody becomes possible. The tools are available to you, through longtime trusted services like Blockchain.com, to actually create your own wallet address on the Bitcoin blockchain that you and you alone control.

If you do this, you don’t have to trust anyone, not even us, to keep your bitcoin safer than you can.

You could have 100% control of when and where your bitcoin moves. You can sleep tight knowing that no matter what happens to any cryptocurrency company, you will always have access to your bitcoin. That advantage comes with risks. You could improperly secure your wallet. If that happens and you lose your bitcoin, there is no recourse. In other words, this is an advanced concept but it is worth learning.

There are many factors that go into cryptocurrency storage decisions. There is an ever growing set of standards and practices for securing cryptocurrency that can get as extreme as vaults built into mountains in Switzerland. Or as simple as a private key wallet made through Blockchain.com.

It’s up to you to learn what solution works best for you.

• Pay: Insert your credit card, debit card or cash to make the payment.

Voila!

Quick Crypto Fact

The upside of a Bitcoin ATM is that if often provided more privacy than an online vendor or exchange. Also, the limits of how much Bitcoin you can buy are lower than online, and the fees are often higher.

GLIP Project outline..

GLIP Funding Platform ver.1.0

The GLIP project develops a crowdfunding platform that allows various

cryptocurrency holders to invest in large and small projects around the world. First, we develop a financing platform that supports cryptocurrency on the technical side, and second, we create a system that comprehensively evaluates various projects around the world that will be listed on the funding platform and evaluates expected profitability and legal interests.

The current global crowdfunding platform supports cash, US Dollars, Euros, etc. in the country, so the number of people who can participate is limited to citizens of that country or citizens of some English-speaking countries. However, with the use of cryptocurrency, people from various countries around the world can easily invest in projects listed on the platform, and as the number of investors increases, it will be possible to achieve a successful project by achieving the target fundraising amount of the project more easily than before.

In addition, it is possible to achieve decentralization, which is the goal of

cryptocurrency, by completely excluding bank fees and time required to transfer funds arising from the flow of funds between countries.

In fact, as the technology for the platform is currently developed with technologies that support cryptocurrency, using such technology we can create a highly complete platform in a short time. What is important is the implementation of a system that allows participants to fully objectively screen and validate the areas of the projects listed on the platform. In addition, through this system, the decentralization pursued by the GLIP Foundation can be achieved, and based on such ideology, “equality of opportunity” is realized, so that we can break the “glass ceiling” that has not been broken for a long time.
