Sorry Blu - didnt intend to preach :-(

Blu - thank you
yes I agree, monetisation is the goal here and accordingly profit for you and I.

In reality monetisation for Pendulum is probably 12 months away which allows the Parachain to be up and running which opens up Fiat to DeFi, Forex AMM to be active, and Spacewalk bridge allowing liquidity for Dtransfer to finally enter the Cross border payments market (predicted to be 250 trillion USD by 2027)

Dynasty is a difficult one as we were all expecting a listing or sale by now., and in truth the market was misled by info coming out of Dynasty management late 2021. But they are a private company and can say what they like (lessons learnt) The last RNS basically made it clear that with the current growth prospects all that is on hold to focus on monetising new contracts. This should benefit all in the long term as any listing/sale will be of greater value but in the meantime we are in a bot of a hiatus in afraid - and markets are all short term at present. Frustrating I know.

Slug - The forex AMM is a dApp being developed by Amber to be launched on Pendulum when the Polkadot launch takes place. Quite a vital part of the jigsaw actually - nothing ‘scatterbrain’ about it.

Interesting survey from Deloitte : Jigsaw pieces all falling into place - just taking longer than many here would like.

The european Central Bank have published. a working paper - Towards the holy grail of cross-border Payments
https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/scpwps/ecb.wp2693~8d4e580438.en.pdf?972bbc119868c193467dc86f4a7cf706
.
The holy grail of cross-border payments is a solution allowing cross-border payments to be immediate, cheap, universal, and settled in a secure settlement medium. The search for such a solution is as old as international commerce and the implied need to pay. This paper describes current visions how to eventually find this holy grail within the next decade, namely through (i) modernized correspondent banking; (ii) emerging cross-border FinTech solutions; (iii) Bitcoin; (iv) global stablecoins; (v) interlinked instant payment systems with FX conversion layer; (vi) interlinked CBDC with FX conversion layer. For each, settlement mechanics are explained, and an assessment is provided on its potential to be the holy grail of cross-border payments. Several solutions are suitable for improving cross-border payments significantly, and some could even be the holy grail.

Sorry everyone as this is slightly off topic for blu (although very related industry news)

Gazzleberry - good news for XLM - I’m accumulating at present.

Gazzleberry - sorry for delay in replying - im not posting much at present as taking most of the summer off - I have to say ive been quite impressed how robust XRP has been since the SEC case. I notice in the last quarter the average daily use dropped 22% but conversely their cross border payment offering was up 800% . Ive cone to the conclusion that there is space for both XLM and XRP depending on the final SEC outcome. I dont hold any XRP but keeping a close eye on.

Coinbase have published a whitepaper on stable coins and regulatory policy - anyone here interested in the Pendulum project should read - note: the Pendulum spacewalk fiat/crypto bridge is based on use of Stellar stablecoins.

Bowlers - bit of patience required - try and relax and enjoy the summer things will start to take shape Q4

For info it looks like the Pendulum Portal is nearing launch (currently stated as coming soon on website) https://pendulumchain.org/

All the coding relating to this is currently in a repository named Pendulum-Webapp but yesterday this was updated with - Note: this prototype repo will soon be deprecated.

And a new repository was created 3 days ago simply entiltled Portal.

I also notice that Polkadot Parachain date has the Amplitude lease slot as leasing August 11, 2022 - July 18, 2023 so I think its safe to assume Pendulum will be working to utilise that slot as quick as possible by getting the mainnet live as close to that date as possible.

Glebe - ADVFN is infested with several long term trolls simply spouting anything and everything negative about GB and DVRG - They (or it could just be one with multiple avatars) make up,stuff all the time so I wouldnt take any notice of anything over there.

Smeeno -

Just for info a new Pendulum repository was crested today entiltled - stellar-experiments - not quite sure exactly what it represents at present but looks like the Spacewalk stellar bridge is getting ever closer
