<fredolafritte> hi folks, will it be possible to issue assets with a name longer than 3 characters ?
miracle2k_ has quit [*.net *.split]
so has quit [*.net *.split]
<stellar-slack>
<scott> @fredolafritte: I wouldn’t recommend it on the legacy stellar system. although I believe there is technically the capability in the behavior that was forked from ripple, I don’t believe it works very well with clients and integrations. As for the newer stellar network that is currently in development, we currently only support 2 currency “types”: the native currency, and an “alphanum” currency that d
<stellar-slack>
alphanumeric code. That said, the newer system represents currencies in a way that it is feasible to add further currency types into the system, so it would be feasible for you to propose a new currency type for the protocol and get it incorporated.
<stellar-slack>
<scott> I’m happy to answer any questions you may have that helps explain the above better
<stellar-slack>
<jed> > btw, the new stellar protocol is backward compatible with the current one ?
<stellar-slack>
<jed> nope
<stellar-slack>
<jed> fredolafritte: it would be very easy to add a 12 character id type to the currencies. If you want to email me to explain what you are doing we can maybe stick it in there
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> + 12 chars, just because
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> muh ledger, Jed
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> (maybe the "add" threw me off)
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> Jed, those types of questions are already solved, I should think
<stellar-slack>
<scott> @epsilon: adding a new currency type would definitely be an extension to the protocol, if that is what you are asking.
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> @scott hey mate! Nah I wasn't asking
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> was just sayin'
<stellar-slack>
<scott> word
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> what's the deal with the ISO shit, tho?
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> I *need* NNN
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> (no, I don't)
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> maybe that's what peeps are really asking
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> imho it's a client thing
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> "Super Scott Bucks"
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> core says: "xxx"
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> ===
<stellar-slack>
<scott> so, the new protocol doesn’t specify ISO… it just has an “AlphaNum” differentiated currency, which uses 4 alphanumeric characters to establish identity
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> yeah, and still short, (apparently)
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> so lay it out to us laymen
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> "Your IOU can be called:"
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> superscottbucks
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> client or ledger
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> ISO + 1 in the ledger
<stellar-slack>
<jed> yeah the client can display it as whatever
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> but in the ledger
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> iso, and an extra just to be degy
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> edgy
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> because we're ledgy
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> srsly the client can do wtf it wants
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> core runs the show
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> you blokes have got some pretty fucken awesome p2p here
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> protocol is what you say it is
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> not what someone else dictates
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> you know how you blokes (blokes=crypto people) reckon money will be like email
<stellar-slack>
<epsilon> take a fucken hint on how we fucked SMTP
