New Streams project for further development of Lykke-Streams:
It's also a very good explanation about Lykke Streams and what it will be:
Description
At Lykke, we’re building a global blockchain-based marketplace. We’re doing it in a new way: we don’t interview and hire; instead, we look for enthusiastic people around the world who want to join us in our mission.
There are commercial contest platforms out there, but we haven’t found one that is flexible enough for us. That is why we have started Lykke Streams, a crowdsourcing initiative to staff and complete all kinds of projects.
Lykke Streams will provide a forum for publishing project ideas and attracting talent from around the world. Project originators can post their ideas on the platform and set aside prize funds to be awarded upon completion. Developers, designers, and other professionals can contribute directly to projects of interest and work collaboratively to earn the prize.
Now Lykke Streams is available in beta at streams.lykke.com, and we are looking for a team to further develop and support it. The winners may be offered ongoing contracts or employment.

Hyperledger Wraps up 2016 By Welcoming Eight New Members

Lykke
“We’re looking forward to being part of the Hyperledger project,” said Richard Olsen, Lykke founder and CEO. “Our company is building a digital asset exchange. Right now, we’re implemented on the Bitcoin blockchain settlement layer, with Ethereum to come within the next few months, but our involvement with Hyperledger isn’t just the next step forward. Providing decentralized settlement on the Hyperledger blockchain with multisignature wallets and atomic swap transactions will benefit both of our user communities.”

Just discovered Lykke, I find it very interesting. Is there any contact for private chat with devs?
This is the public Lykke-channel: https://telegram.me/joinchat/AEGiqkF-_dNaHMwQbRSnAg
...it's also possible to open private chats there. Usually the team is very busy, but especially Sergey Ivliev is pretty active and also Lena Mechenkova and Richard Olsen are on from time to time.
Thanks mate for your help. I will need to install Telegram and add my number to create a profile.
No problem!
There is also some talking if Lykke should open a community-slack since it may be better than telegram. But can't promise anything yet.

is it possible to add lykke to an exchange like bittrex or c-cex?
this would be possible. but i think that the lykke team won't do this. because lyyke is the exchange.
Wow, didn't know that c-cex is that successful.
But to answer your question: It's possible of course and exchanges are free to do so. But the team never asked for it to get LKK on other exchanges, since Lykke is an exchange.
And I agree with what you say above: Most likely it would lead to more attention on Lykke and all what it is about, if LKK would be added on Poloniex for example or C-Cex, Bittrex and so on.
Contra might be: Since LKK represents company-shares it's value will be very connected to the success of Lykke as marketplace and it makes some sense to show proof first, how much potential Lykke as platform has, before it's added on other exchanges with all the manipulative games.
But I believe, once Lykke gets more attention and the Crypto-space really figures what this is about, LKK will be added on other exchanges as well.

Not sure ccex, bittrex won't list because they avoid company share, lykke is a form of company share

Hello, how long it takes to withraw bitcoi from lykke wallet ? It says "blockxhain settlement" from about 30 min.
Thanks for help !
Thanks for help !
Lykke processes it immediately. But the duration of a transaction depends on how much transfer is on the blockchain.
What you can see here: https://blockchain.info/en/charts/mempool-count?timespan=1week
...is the mempool. It shows how transactions are in the queue, waiting to be processed. Right now it's not that much, about 5000. My guess would be that it shouldn't take much longer than 5-15 minutes until the first confirmation and 20-30 minutes that it's done.
(If you go on 60 days in the link, you can see that the peaks are about 10 times higher - then it takes longer)
No problem!
Did it take 1 hour? works fine ! I'm back as soon as I get more btc hahOkay! We can hope that there will be scaling-solutions for Bitcoin in 2017.
Or: Hard fork --> Second chain with a higher blocksize.
