Stellar.org operates as a non-stock nonprofit organization. Our mission is to connect people to low-cost financial services to fight poverty and maximize individual potential. To that end, we don’t charge people or institutions for use of the Stellar network. Stellar.org covers operational costs in several ways: 5% of the initial lumens are set aside for operational costs, Stellar.org accepts tax-deductible donations from the public.
A transaction on the network consists of one or more operations. Payments, offers, and fees are all examples of operations that could make up a single transaction. Depending on hardware and network configurations, a conservative estimate of Stellar’s processing rate is 1000 operations per second.
There’s a nominal fee, referred to as a base fee, associated with each operation in a transaction. The base fee functions as a deterrent: Though nominal, it discourages users with malicious intentions from flooding the network with transactions (otherwise known as a DoS attack). The base fee is currently set to .00001 XLM—a fraction of a fraction of a penny. The sender of the transaction incurs the fee. No one profits from the base fee. The ledger collects the fees and redistributes them in the process of inflation.
Stellar has also partnered with IBM, a supporter of companies all over the globe.

id wait until the hype wears off tho, right now it and ripple are both crazy overvalued and will end up being hit the hardest over the next bear market.
Bentley Miller
you can hold it in any wallet that lets you set the inflation destination
works on the ledger nano as well
Gabriel Cox
you are going to make it
Jordan Bailey
Nice I never knew. how much % do we get a week?
William Williams
Wrong
Jayden Turner
how the fuck do you sign up for this shit
My wallet is binance, how fucked am I
Luke Garcia
dont let your emotions/bags overwhelm common sense
Cooper Hernandez
Tried to explain it yesterday, zero replies. These fags don't deserve to know.
Jose Gomez
Wait a second, how many XLM are you holding?
Dylan Cruz
I have it all on binance. Those fuckers dont pay off the inflation? Fuckers!
Christopher Howard
it's 1% per year plus the number of XLM used during that week for transaction fees
Binance is not a wallet you idiot. You don't own your coins.
Liam Brooks
my xlm is on bittrex. how do i get the free lumies???
Asher Howard
you are not going to make it
move to an offline wallet and set an inflation destination
Levi Hernandez
Oh there you go, makes sense. Jelly.
Hudson Diaz
Alright, I'm done playing day trader. I have bought high and sold low. I have literally seen 7% spikes in price immediately after selling XLM and then bought it back. I have lost money.
I'm getting my Lumens into a desktop wallet tomorrow. I backed up the key on a personal server and wrote it down. The inflation destination is already set for the public pool. I am holding until FairX is released.
Aiden Jones
How many fucking people keep coins on exchanges here, what the fuck.
Owen Brooks
Good job. Day trading is a meme.
Isaiah Martin
I own 50 different coins and don't want to download 50 shitty wallets that will download a 1000GB blockchain each.
Adrian Butler
i followed the guide to set up inflation destination but i have not recieved anything, god damn it
Lucas Cox
Should probably start thinking about narrowing down your choices and put them on your own hardware wallet, so that you actually own them.
Julian Perry
Happens every Monday, not instantly whenever you sign up for it.
Tyler Lopez
So if you owned 1000XLM you would make about 0.2 a week, or 10 a year? So we're talking about a 1%/yr gain?
I think the diversification outweighs the exchange risk.
Ryan Hernandez
Well, bought 2k lumies at .20, I kept em on binance and 3x'd my stack to 6k during the dips last week. Poorfag just screwing around with my $500 investment which is now 4.2k, so not bad. Don't even have a wallet yet.
Logan Foster
Yes 1% of your holding a year is earned free
Jeremiah Ortiz
sorry it is working actually, nevermind
the guide to set it up for the steallar online wallet is here
Good job. I think it's time to invest 60 bucks and get a Ledger.
Camden Cook
I wonder if they're doing this to get a lot of people to put their xlm in cold storage and keep the prices steady?
Jason Hernandez
thanks a ton user!
William Fisher
25.3 free lumens per week crew checking in
Ryan Sanders
2 days might be due to pure luck. Trade enough and you'll get raped by the bots in the long run.
Grayson Rivera
>Be poorfag >Go to transfer off exchange >fee is like 10% of what I am transferring >Keep on exchange Too poor.
Oliver Bell
if this goes x10 from here you can just about neet on that shit
Daniel Turner
They're doing this to compensate for inflation, which is fixed at 1% per year.
Josiah Wood
1% per plus transaction fees collected over the network
Elijah Gray
Cold storage isn't a big thing with Stellar. You can use their desktop wallet. Takes 5 seconds to move lumens from cold storage to an exchange
Jacob Ortiz
This. It's incredibly fast.
Evan Green
>overvalued
Dominic Carter
It's fucking insane how fast the XLM network is. I just sent some from my desktop wallet to my ledger and by the time I clicked over and hit refresh on the account viewer it was already there. Literally less than 2 seconds.
Brandon Roberts
Yeah it's crazy. I can't believe my eyes when I go read corecucks posts on Leddit and it's normal for them to wait days or weeks for their TXs to go through.
