01:39 <stellar-slack> <dzham> @john: Shouldn't complain. My uncle is out of his coma (hemorrhagic stroke), my father-in-law had TB, but is recovering fine. I justed signed the contract for *one* job, and am working informally for another one already.

03:22 <stellar-slack> <lab> I thought he was commenting on our community though not. http://joi.ito.com/weblog/2016/02/22/my-view-on-the-.html

03:28 <stellar-slack> <lab> and what a pity that our respected advisor didn't even mention stellar besides ethereum and ripple. :(

04:44 <stellar-slack> <dzham> @lab: thanks for the coffee, maybe it’s time for me to start drinking that black stuff. Two jobs might sound bad, but it’s quite OK. So far I’m averaging 55h/week

04:47 <stellar-slack> <dzham> > Jordan Lee Now Hiring 2 Full Time Devs to Finish Building Peershares Based B&C Exchange, $50-100 an Hour (Also a 10% Reward to Whoever Finds the Devs)

04:47 <stellar-slack> <dzham> Now we’re talking. Wish we could have something like that *here*

05:51 <stellar-slack> <lab> yes, we have. https://www.stellar.org/jobs/#job-Serious_C better payment.

05:59 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> @lab sounds more like an aplication for free coders "because we have been getting a lot of applicants, we will not be able to respond to everyone but will reach out to folks who we want to interview within 2 weeks."

06:07 <stellar-slack> <lab> so stellar has better (more stable) core dev team.

06:08 <stellar-slack> <lab> compared to PPC's contractor :)

10:05 <stellar-slack> <john> @dzham: Glad to hear your uncle & father in law are recovering. All the best for your new jobs! Me too I got some work lined up for the next few months with regular trips in & out Turkey & EU.

10:26 <stellar-slack> <john> Interesting post re: joi.ito He's right to be concerned about Bitcoin... Everyone is concerned! Between a divided community, miners, core dev & a bankrupt foundation, we don't need to be a genius to conclude that Bitcoin will fail and it's total marketcap will get surpassed by emerging companies such as Ripple & Ethereum. I personally think Stellar has great chances to list itself as one of the big 3, but to my hum

10:26 <stellar-slack> with regular press announcements & start releasing some amazing features.

10:34 <stellar-slack> <john> Imagine a smartphone pre-loaded with amazing Apps such as "Women Safety", WhatsApp (and why not a pre-funded Lumens wallet such as Lobstr), a smartphone capable to empower citizens, even in the remotest rural and semi-urban centres of the world, with the latest in digital technology at an incredible affordable price... less than $4...

10:34 <stellar-slack> <john> http://freedom251.com/home

10:39 <stellar-slack> <john> Stellar should focus it's attention in building & releasing a breakthrough innovation, that is easy to use, understand & accessible to all!

10:44 <stellar-slack> <maduramaha> http://www.toonexplainers.com/blog/top-10-best-internet-marketing-tools-for-2016/

12:25 <stellar-slack> <dzham> @john: I think they debunked the whole thing about the $4 phone

12:27 <stellar-slack> <dzham> It would have to be heavily subsidized for that to work

12:28 <stellar-slack> <raymens> @scott: thanks for the TLS in horizon, works great! :)

12:29 <stellar-slack> <dzham> @john: I could kill for a proper kebab/shawarma BTW. They just don’t do it the *right* way outside of my hometown in Sweden. I reckon the Turks are quite OK though

12:44 <stellar-slack> <john> @dzham: well somehow I liked better the Kebab made in UK & Ireland, with garlic sauce :yum: but here in Turkey they made them a bit dry to my taste.

12:50 <stellar-slack> <john> @dzham: According to a teardown report from a research firm, the components and manufacturing cost of a 16GB iPhone 6 cost Apple $200.10. The device is selling for $649 in the U.S. That gives the device a profit margin of about 69% so a plastic low quality smartphone made with outdated components and subsidised by Network firm could be easily build for less than 4$

12:50 <stellar-slack> <dzham> I’ve had amazing Lebanese food in London on Edgware Road, so I can just imagine.

12:59 <stellar-slack> <john> My favourite Kebab ever was in Zaytoon, a Persian restaurant in Parliament St, Dublin.

12:59 <stellar-slack> <john> 2nd place for an unforgettable street food taste experience is Camden market. I've been there a douzaine time... Every time I go to London, a visit to Camden Town is compulsory :yum:

13:00 <stellar-slack> <john> Going there again this September! Yum!!!! Looking forward to it now ;P

15:19 <stellar-slack> <dzham> @lab: I was thinking more about the need for 3rd parties willing to pay for development

15:46 <stellar-slack> <scott> @raymens: great to hear! you’re welcome :)

18:42 <stellar-slack> <eva> @john: re focusing on an innovation that helps everyone, that’s actually why we’re focused on developers right now. Instead of working on one innovation that reaches everyone, we’re seeding the ecosystem for a thousand+ innovations that help reach more people. All about that localization :) https://stellar-public.slack.com/archives/general/p1456223955000423

18:42 <stellar-slack> <eva> Also, best kebab I’ve ever had was in the UK, but I’ve never been to Sweden

23:41 <stellar-slack> <dzham> @eva: No big loss, in General. My hometown is ~30% immigrants, making everything feel a lot more continental. Lots of Persians, Arabs, people from the Balkans. That kind of reflects in the food that's available, which is just awesome.

23:42 <stellar-slack> <eva> Sounds kind of amazing @dzham. San Francisco isn’t at all bad on the food front though - just expensive.

23:42 <stellar-slack> <eva> Though certain areas still have cheap local shops
