I have never understood how to setup an XLM wallet, so that is another thing that prevented me from investing into this coin.
That I have seen for myself, but still having this crypto in the dark by not making a GUI wallet for non tech savvy users, makes me think that it will take a long while to see XLM sparkle one day. I mean if you want to attract people who haven't been into crypto (or aren't knowledgeable at all of commands) you should have at least a GUI wallet and good things will come for this coin. Just my opinion.
By the way, I still can't even make a wallet since the process seems somewhat confusing for me. That is why I still haven't invested into Stellar, unless they prove an easier way to make one.
Hey Abiky. In order to stay focused on our core mission and encourage community ownership of the ecosystem, Stellar.org does not plan on significant development of a wallet, though there is a simple
account viewer that lets you send/receive lumens. Instead, we’ll continue to improve open-source developer tools so that participants in the ecosystem can build a variety of new services. It seems to be working! You can create a new account with a third-party service such as Lobstr (Stellar wallet for Android, iOS, and web). Developers can also use the Stellar API to directly create an account. Hope this helps
Stellar is probably the most alive cryptocoin on the planet. Their organisation as well as their network is by far the most professional of all altcoins (besides maybe Ripple). Black Rock, Google.org and Fast Forward back this coin.
Subscribe to their mailing and follow them on Twitter. These guys rock the planet like no other dev team of any other shitty altcoin out there.
Thanks Geenstijl! Really appreciate the support. We're pretty excited about Black Rock, Google.org, and Fast Forward, too.
I definitely like this coin, but I have not received news from them, though, and signed to them.
klarki, if you direct message me your email I can check to see if you're subscribed to the mailing list. Or if you prefer you can just try to
sign up here; if you're already subscribed it should tell you, and if not you can sign up directly there. We usually send about one email a month. You can also join slack.stellar.org or #stellar & stellar-dev on IRC (they're mirrored) - it's the most active community channel.
