Big Blue is making what could be considered its first public foray into cryptocurrency.
In the kind of unveiling that can only come before one of the biggest events in global finance, IBM is revealing today at Sibos 2017 the results of a partnership with blockchain startup Stellar in which it successfully settled real transactions using the company's custom cryptocurrency, lumens.
While currently limited to cross-border payments involving British pounds and Fijian dollars, the early-stage platform is nonetheless designed to scale to handle seven fiat currencies in the South Pacific – including the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar and the Tonga pa'anga.

Quote from Fortune:

The banking network includes “12 currency corridors” that encompass Australia and New Zealand, as well as smaller countries like Fiji and Tonga. It will reportedly process up to 60 percent of all cross-border payments in the South Pacific’s retail foreign exchange corridors by early next year.
The news also comes as an important validation of blockchain technology, which has long promised enormous efficiencies for the financial sector, but has been slow to move from the concept stage to the real world.

IBM will add huge value and will bring Stellar to one of the Top10 coins. I just changed all my bitcoins to Lumens and I suggest everyone who loves money to do the same.
This is amazing increase in such a short time of more than three times. I had feeling to pick more up after seeing how some markets were moved in last days. I just missed this opportunity but glad those who did action in time are enjoy this reward for their risk. I was watching this closely to see situation of next hours how it turns out.
I am very excited that there is partnership with IBM incoming.
Could you please provide specific details what this partnership is exactly about? Thanks.

That's absolutely great, just bought these 2 days ago based on some rumors regarding Stellar and Google partnering - and now IBM as well. This is going to be huge!
I have 100 XLM which is the default amount in my wallet.
Hmm... not sure whats up then. Could be a bug with that site. Perhaps try another site?
Stellar portal https://portal.willet.io/
Or other ones.

I have an account with stellarterm and am confused about how to withdraw or convert my btc on vcbear.net to xlm. I first wanted to withdraw but the admin told me that I need to go to vcbear.net to withdraw. Vcbear only accepts Japan/Hongkong residents to withdraw while I am from India. I tried to convert the btc on stellarterm into XLM then but it says not sufficient balance but I have balance in my account which is saved under the vcbear asset. Why can't I convert it back into XLM when I had earlier converted XLM into BTC on stellarterm? Please if anyone could help me, I would really appreciate that.
What are you doing specifically? You are going to this market:
https://stellarterm.com/#exchange/XLM-native/BTC-vcbear.net
Yes.

And putting in a Buy XLM order?
Yes.

You are using the same stellar private key to login to StellarTerm as the one that contains the vcbear BTC asset?
Yes. And it says that you have "xxx" btc. I tried entering small amounts like 0.001 BTC worth orders and with orders lesser than my balance but all the time I got an error messages that the funds are not sufficient.

There's not really and "account" with SteallarTerm... it uses a Stellar/XML private key "account".
Where else can I use this private key? On vcbear.net directly? Or just any other stellar wallet?
You can use that Private Key on any stellar wallet. Just be sure it's trusted and secure. I doubt you can use it at vcbear. Although, I'm not sure exactly how that works, since I've never used that endpoint.
How much XLM do you have in that address? I assume for the transaction some XLM is needed as a fee... and your XML balance can't go below 20.
Well if you look at the USD value we are recovering. Albeit slowly but still.
For me Stellar is a long term HODL.

USD value is not important as long as you are part of the crypto world.
The price that really counts is the token price compared to BTC or ETH.
Let's hope for a big pump!
