Why Stellar Network Could Be Your Best Bet for Token Launch

While Ethereum often steals the limelight when it comes to launching tokens, its limitations are impossible to ignore. With its snail-paced 14 transactions per second, many businesses are setting their sights on alternative blockchain platforms like Stellar Lumens.

Advantages of Using Stellar

Before diving into the step-by-step guide, let's explore why Stellar stands out:

Decentralized & Open-Source: The hallmarks of a robust blockchain system.
High Throughput: Capable of supporting thousands of transactions per second.
Rapid Confirmations: Transactions settle in a mere 3–5 seconds.
Smart Contract & Multi-Signature Support: Expands the utility of the platform.
Low Inflation: A mere 1% fixed annual rate.

What You’ll Learn Here

This guide aims to walk you through:

Creating issuance and distribution accounts.
Establishing a trustline between these accounts.
Locking the issuer account post-token creation.
Distributing the newly minted tokens.

Step 1: Setting Up Issuance and Distribution Accounts

Go to Stellar's Laboratory.
Generate a keypair.
Note down the secret and public keys.

Fund the issuing account using Stellar's Friendbot tool. Follow the same procedure to create and fund a distribution account. You can verify the accounts' balances by appending your public key to this URL: https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org/accounts/[Your Public Key]

Step 2: Trustline Establishment

Go to the Transaction Builder.
Input the distribution account's public key.
Fetch the next sequence number.
Choose ‘Change Trust’ as the operation type.
Enter your chosen asset code and the issuing account’s public key.
Set the trust limit and complete the transaction.

Step 3: Locking the Issuer Account

Go back to the Transaction Builder.
Use the issuing account's public key.
Choose ‘Set Options’ as the operation type.
Set master weight to zero.
Sign and submit the transaction.

Your token is now live on the Stellar testnet!

Step 4: Ready, Set, Distribute!

You can distribute tokens through multiple avenues, such as decentralized exchanges within the Stellar network. Consider pre-authorized transactions, issuing dividends, or even running auctions to distribute your tokens.

Wrapping Up

Stellar Network offers a cost-effective and rapid alternative for token issuance compared to Ethereum. With its promising features, it's worth giving Stellar your attention if you're planning a token launch.

Cannabis and The Financial System

While cannabis is widely accepted worldwide by most adults, there are still a lot of concerns about incorporating cannabis into our current financial system. We needed an alternative to cash that could be implemented worldwide, so we came up with Cannacoin ($CCC). Cannacoin was initially created in 2014 and deployed on the now defunct NWGT.org, an online medical cannabis forum. It was meant to circumvent the banking ban placed on cannabis businesses through federal prohibition. Cannacoin is ideal in many ways. It is cheaper and more secure than most payment methods. In a world where cryptocurrency is quickly becoming ubiquitous, Cannacoin is the best choice because Bitcoin is too precious to spend on everyday purchases.

Hemp, CBD, and THC

Cannabidiol (or CBD) is a constituent of the hemp plant that is associated with physical healing properties. It works on the body's endocannabinoid system as an agent of equilibrium between the various systems of our bodies. Hemp is said to be the original cultivar of the human species. It was the first plant grown on purpose by humans over 6,000 years ago. It can be used for its strong fiber for cloth, rope, and to feed livestock. My theory is that many of the strange diseases and food allergies that arose in the 20th century are due to the fact that hemp was removed from the food chain in the early 1900's during criminalization efforts. CBD is non-psychoactive unlike it's "neighbor" THC (also found in hemp but in lesser degrees) which is well known for it's psychoactive properties and sometimes can cause adverse effects in the overall experience of the ingestion of cannabis. Such effects as paranoia, anxiety, hallucination, and "time shift" amo...
