<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> Morning y'all :sun_with_face:
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> waz up?
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> I've just started digging in to the (web) user interface. Where can I find a list of gateway address?
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> you must be speaking of the original old network?
TheSeven has quit [Disconnected by services]
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> I've just created a Stellar account, so that's a view from the http://Stellar.org|Stellar.org portal

<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> ok so I will still have to assume that's the old and only real money running system then
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> I'm unsure. I'll hope on over to the _start-here_ channel to Q&A
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> my data is very old on the present live network so I'm not sure any of this is acurate any more
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> I'm presently more focused on development of the new system
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> Thanks for your input. Good luck with the upgrade
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> to get a real view of the old network you would need to get the original stellar node software running so you could take a close look at transactions and activity on the database
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> I failed to even be able to do that as it requires at least 8gb of mem to run
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> Is the account that I've just create redundant?
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> redundant you mean absolete? I assume at some point you will be able to transfer the assets from one net to the other when they go full live on the new one
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> Obsolete would be a better description.
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> but if your working to develop any software you should be running on testnet not with real money
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> wether it be on the old network or the new
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> For sure, but I'd like to experience the usability of the ecosystem, as a real-user.
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> Did I onboard using the wrong portal? How do "normal" users onboard and get started?
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> that more dependent on what your plans are. it is confusing as there being two networks with one not fully live
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> but I first ended up on the old network and did my first development on that as it was the real working network
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> it was or is very stable and easy api interface as compared to the new that is more complicated with more features
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> from a normal user point of view I guess they would just want to add funds and spend them. there are funding points and there are stores and services sellers that allow payment from stellar
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> or gateway movement of funds from one point of the planet to another were your interest would be more at the gateway points of deposit and withdraw
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> but there is also the trading aspects of stellar with it's uncentralized trading platform to exchange between currencys that some users would be a part of. so without knowing your intenstions....
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> Is funding not possible from the http://Stellar.org|Stellar.org portal?
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> I don't think stellar in itself is a gateway as far as I know
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> the websites in the text I gave you above are funding points
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> with the list of there stellar address and http
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> So, If you sign up for a Bitcoin account with one of the BTC merchants (online), you can create an account and buy/sell bitcoin. Where do locate gateways/merchants in my country (South Africa)?
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> I guess this is the published list of known stellar gateways https://stellartalk.org/forum/5-gateways-exchanges/
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> but I'm not sure I see one in south africa but I have heard word in the grapevine that one will be soon if not already
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> if you are now in south africa then you can be that gateway. anyone can be one
<stellar-slack> <sacarlson> to do so you just have to build trust
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> Thanks again. For now, I'll try get up and running on _testnet_
<stellar-slack> <jed> mitchwongho: did you see this: https://www.stellar.org/blog/stellar-network-upgrade/
<stellar-slack> <mr_selenio> So it will change the name to lumens?
<stellar-slack> <mitchwongho> Thanks @jed . Its clearer now.

<stellar-slack> <raymens> Is there a Horizon SQL schema script to be found somewhere?
<stellar-slack> <jed> @scott ^
<stellar-slack> <raymens> I've managed to edit https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stellar/horizon/master/src/github.com/stellar/horizon/test/scenarios/base-horizon.sql somewhat so Horizon would start with a standalone stellar-node
<stellar-slack> <bartek> @raymens: you can use https://github.com/stellar/horizon-importer to create a DB. here's a command: ``` STELLAR_CORE_DATABASE_URL="postgres://username:password@localhost/stellar?sslmode=disable" DATABASE_URL="postgres://username:password@localhost/horizon_development?sslmode=disable" ./bin/rake db:batch_import_history ```
<stellar-slack> <raymens> @bartek: thanks :)
<stellar-slack> <scott> @raymens: for now, the actual schema is here: https://github.com/stellar/horizon-importer/blob/master/db/structure.sql
