Stellar must be very confident with SatoshiPay if they are going to give the first 100000 users €13 that’s £1.3m

This is massive confidents and commitment from Stellar IMO

Starting in 2018, all of SatoshiPay's transactions are expected to be via the Stellar network. As part of its marketing program, SDF has pledged to credit the first 100,000 users creating a wallet through SatoshiPay with 500 Lumens each which have a current value of approximately 13 euros.

Looking promising.

Hi Kim, looking very promising, launching in Dec when we get news of the publishers this is likely to miti bag not from here but possibly from 1p

Satoshipay: Ask Me Anything session

https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellar/comments/7geyxp/ama_w_meinhard_founder_of_satoshipay_now/

Bit of movement today ahead of SatoshiPay December's launch and hopefully some big publishers on board, hold on to your hats if there is..

StockMarketWire.com
Blue Star Capital has subscribed for €200,000 of convertible loan notes issued by its investee company SatoshiPay.

Blue Star has an existing 31% equity interest in SatoshiPay.

The LNs have been subscribed for by Blue Star at nominal value (€200,000 in aggregate) and are redeemable in cash on 31 Dec 2018 together with interest accrued at a rate of 4% per annum.

Alternatively, Blue Star may elect to redeem the LNs early in full upon completion by SatoshiPay of a fundraising in excess of €750,000 or in the event of certain circumstances including SatoshiPay being in financial distress.

Blue Star may also convert the outstanding LN into fully paid ordinary shares in SatoshiPay in the event that:

- SatoshiPay completes a fundraising of at least €750,000; or

- in the event of a change of control of SatoshiPay; or

- at any time after 30 Jun 2018

In the event of conversion of the LN into SatoshiPay shares, the outstanding LNs would be converted at a 15% discount to the valuation of the relevant equity fundraise undertaken by SatoshiPay on or prior to the date of conversion or the valuation of SatoshiPay at the time of a change of control of SatoshiPay.

Blue Star said that for illustrative purposes, conversion at a 15% discount to the valuation of SatoshiPay of approximately €6 million (being the valuation at the time of SatoshiPay's fundraise in January 2017) would result in Blue Star increasing its holding in SatoshiPay by approximately 3.8%.

SatoshiPay intends to use the proceeds of the LN for working capital purposes as SatoshiPay seeks to commercialise its technology.

Looking good here with the latest RNS a RTO does look on the cards now with Blue Star getting even more involved, the new year is all set to boom for SatoshiPay and BLU when we have full commercialisation of its technology.

Also liking this bit
"Significant marketing support from Stellar Foundation. Since announcing our partnership with Stellar the value of their marketing pledge to SatoshiPay users through the allocation of 50m Lumens to the first 100,000 users is now over €3m at today's price."

Some of the questions from yesterdays Ask Me Anything session..with Meinhard

Hi everyone, welcome and thanks for attending the AMA! I am sitting here with my tea and I'm ready to get started. Looking forward to your questions during the next hour! :)

Hello Meinhard – can you please confirm you already have clients secured wishing to use SatoshiPay’s technology? Note that is “already secured” not “trying to secure”.
Adoption is obviously so important so just keen to understand this. Thanks.
permalinkembedsaveparentreportreply
[–]meinharrd 4 points an hour ago
Yes, we have secured some clients for pilot projects. And let's not forget about the 1000 publisher signups that we have had over the last year or so. We will actively reach out to them an let them know about our improvements.
permalinkembedsaveparentreportreply
[–]loftgroovv 1 point an hour ago
Thanks for answering - sounds very encouraging. Best of luck!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAQ portion of your website appears outdated - are we to replace Lumens where we see Bitcoin?
If so, the network fee mentioned of 5000 Satoshis to pay the miners ... will this fee now be 0.00001 lumens?
Thank you for being here.
permalinkembedsavereportreply
[–]meinharrd 4 points an hour ago
Yes, we will of course update our website once we switch to Stellar on 7 Dec.
Correct, the transaction fee for Stellar is close to 0.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know everyone is hounding you on the Visa Rumors, sorry about that...My question is that now you have partnered up with Stellar Lumens, what are you're long term goals with them, and what do you want to achieve? As the leader in being the first major partner with them, we know there will be others to follow you, what is the big picture that you are trying to create on the platform with the other future partnerships that may happen?
permalinkembedsavereportreply
[–]meinharrd 5 points an hour ago
I will address the Visa comments in a second.
permalinkembedsaveparentreportreply
[–]meinharrd 4 points an hour ago
Our long term plans are to use them as a solid backend and focus on our core business, which is to work closely with publishers and consumers. We are happy to have solved our ledger related headaches now, so we can move on in terms of sales. The 50m free lumens should help a great deal! :)

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'm a HUGE fan of both you and Stellar Lumens, I can't wait for you two to take over the payment industry, even if the Visa rumors are false!
permalinkembedsaveparentreportreply
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Meinhard,
Great to have you here. The questions I have for you are:
Will you be offering a fiat gateway to Lumens via your platform?
Without naming names of course, would you mind sharing your sense of the market appetite for incorporating micro-payments into our social experiences beyond wordpress?
Do you have projections for transaction volume on your network over time that you can share with us?
Will you be launching a 'Satoshi pay' token on the Stellar network, transacting in xlm directly, or both?
Are you now partenerd with Stellar only, or have you joined the Universal Payments Solution platform as partner or market maker?
Many thanks for your time and attention
permalinkembedsavereportreply
[–]meinharrd 4 points an hour ago
Yes, this is on our roadmap.
There is a healthy appetite. Many people face inefficient pay-out systems and bad UX in web payments in general.
We do have projections, but not too much data at this point to make reliable predictions we would like to share at this point. 2018 will give us a lot of data to share.
We will start with transacting lumens, but plan to use a less volatile token in the future. We are speaking to partners regarding this.
Currently we are partnered with Stellar and IOTAm but not with UPS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for doing this AMA, my question is; why Stellar and not any other coin?
permalinkembedsavereportreply
[–]meinharrd 5 points an hour ago
Stellar has a very solid architecture, is scalable, production-ready, cheap in transactions, supports tokens at protocol level, is well tested and documented. In short: It just works! Also the Stellar.org foundation is very accessible and helpfuLL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone talks about the great strides we have made in crypto but what are the biggest challenges you have experienced at SatoshiPay in this cryptospace and how did you overcome them?
permalinkembedsavereportreply
[–]meinharrd 4 points an hour ago
Very easy: Bitcoin fees went up from 0.5ct to $10, much faster than we anticipated. This led to us changing to a different ledger technology: Stellar! :)
Another big issue was that traditional finance does not trust crypto companies. It took us quite a while to get a bank account and to build trust with fiat payment partners

For everyone asking about Visa - there is a 'Visa - coming soon' option under Payment Methods in the SatoshiPay widget

Oh! No you're not.--------------well it is the season. Thanks for your posts driver, I confess I know less than nothing about BLU and it's fair to say I only put several £100's into it and i'm up 50% or so.

Cheers George nice to have you on board. This could multi bag from here will be interesting tomorrow when Satoshi goes live.

Count down. Going live tomorrow.

I've only got fifty quids worth including charges (10,030) @0.40p bought last Wed 29th driver. Last of the big spenders. It does look promising. Am a complete newbie trading penny shares so reluctant to put the house on any of them. Ditto LION, MORSE and VRS. :0)

Chris, we all had to start some where welcome..
