<stellar-slack1> <raymens> sacarlson: that's the point I'm trying to make, if you create a QR code of your backup string you just have a string of random characters. If you actually add a prefix like `stellarbackup://` it's clear that's it's a backup string of a stellar wallet. It's no longer just a random set of alphanumeric characters
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> well than I guess that's already been done using the Centaurus method for now
<stellar-slack1> <raymens> Would be great if there were some guidelines for that from SDF
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> that now supports the Centaurus Import QR-code format
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> is that what you wanted @raymens?
<stellar-slack1> <raymens> It's not that I'm looking for a solution right now. It's just that I'd like that all basic wallet operations like payments, backup are formalized. So anyone can switch wallets without any problem (as long as they use the standard)
<stellar-slack1> <dzham> Something like a WIF
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> well to me the first one that is created is the standard until someone creates a better one
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> WIF?
<stellar-slack1> <dzham> wallet import format… bitcoin
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> ah ok
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> so what does bitcoin's look like? is it any better?
<stellar-slack1> <dzham> I don’t think they’re encrypted
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> so your happy with the Centaurus method then? the only thing I see to improve it so far is to take out the public address so we can make a version 004 that does that
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> I also noted today that this qrcode lib will accept the needed number of letters to allow transaction envelopes. so we could add a header for that also
<stellar-slack1> <dzham> yeah, I tried that a month ago, no? ~2500 bytes
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> I was able to scan a simple payment transaction with my android phone
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> there might be big transactions with many signers where it might choke
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> but it's a start and I note they have new versions of qrcode that should be out soon that pack more data in less space using more colors
<stellar-slack1> <dzham> signatures will at most be 1360 bytes, so no problem
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> cool
<stellar-slack1> <sacarlson> oh and we will later need a signing header set that would allow doing multi sign transactions with qr-code maybe using a subset of multi-sign-server json format or other

<stellar-slack> <jed> Raymens yeah there needs to be something like that. Would be great if you would propose something
<stellar-slack> <raymens> jed: maybe start a http://github.com/stellar/sip|github.com/stellar/sip repo (stellar improvement proposal ;)
<stellar-slack> <scott> @raymens: The equivalent to a a sip repo is https://github.com/stellar/stellar-protocol, feel free to post an issue there

<stellar-slack> <p41n3st> Hello, Someone can tell me how it works?
<stellar-slack> <eva> Hey @p41n3st, welcome :) What kind of explanation are you looking for? Basic overview, technical, business-oriented … ?
<stellar-slack> <p41n3st> Thank you. Basic...
<stellar-slack> <eva> @p41n3st Cool! A few resources you might find helpful: 1) 4-minute explanation of Stellar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f98nmidUi8 2) Another video explaining Stellar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QgsJMEcpNg 3) Basic Stellar concept explanations on the “learn” page: http://stellar.org/learn
<stellar-slack> <p41n3st> Oh nice. Thank you so much
<stellar-slack> <englishm> Is anyone currently working on TorCoin-like projects with Stellar?
<stellar-slack> <eva> @p41n3st: you’re very welcome. Let us know if you have any questions!
<stellar-slack> <eva> @englishm: not that I’m aware of. Would you be interested?
<stellar-slack> <englishm> I’m not sure I have much to contribute yet, but I think it’s a very interesting research area, and could potentially be a good fit for Stellar.
