I wonder how the Lumen value is being derived. I assume whatever current worth is on Coinbase Pro at the time the amount is sent, considering they namedrop Coinbase Pro as a place to buy Lumens.

CoinMarketCap's paid API. We're open to considering other data sources.

I would suggest OpenMarketCap instead. CoinMarketCap is known to include exchanges that fake their volume and I wouldn't be surprised if their price data is somewhat manipulated too.

If I have a good understanding of how the bitcoin protocol works, and is well versed in cryptography, does anyone have a tip on what to read to understand about the Stellar protocol?

Just some quick Googling on my phone led me down cryptobro low quality content, unsurprisingly.

EDIT: And also, this implementation looks really neat, congrats! It made me excited about crypto currency again!

Yey, why not let's adding some cryptocurrency functionalities when the client/android application is still a mess.

> On the android application is impossible to upload a file into the encrypted filesystem unless they are images or videos, really?

> on the desktop and android chat is impossible to send audios

> In the android application there are a lot of bugs relatives to the download of files

> why should I use repositories on my phone?
