Adding Stellar to your product can go beyond creating a wallet for your business.
You can also use FossaPay to create wallets for your customers, giving each customer a wallet for sending and receiving assets on Stellar.
If customer wallets are part of what you’re building, our API docs are a good place to start: docs.fossapay.com/

At the Solana Fall Class, @jacobvcreech said: don’t wait to be noticed. Share the work.
So here is one recent work
@cap offered to sponsor anyone who shipped a performance PR with benchmarks. I sent one, it got merged and got me my first GitHub sponsor.
Here’s what the PR does:
Importing a video into Cap was slow for two reasons:
The decoder ran on one CPU thread (FFmpeg’s default)
The encoder used a live-streaming mode that handles one frame at a time
I fixed both.
1080p: 62s → 33s
4K: 82s → 43s
Same output quality.

Taking FossaPay into the arena once again, our third attempt so far.
Last time, we made it to the interview stage. Then, we were barely a month into launch and had processed around $15k.
A few months later, we’ve crossed $180k in volume, onboarded more businesses, and shipped quite a lot since then.
No idea how far we go this time, but I’m looking forward to finding out.
For now, here’s our product demo 👇

If you’re going to be submitting for the hackathon, there are a few changes to the number of videos required, how you submit, and the different chains involved. I made a walkthrough video covering everything for our builders at @SuperteamNG. I hope this helps!

Something i learnt the hard way.
Make it exist first, then we can make it good later.
The problem is we think our first tryout will be perfect. Let me break it to you now so it reduces the stress: our first tryout is probably going to be trash. No problem, who cares?
Start it anyway.
Some of us aren't even builders or creators yet; we just want to start the journey of building or creating. Yet, we are putting ourselves under unnecessary pressure because we think our first product or video has to be perfect.
Another breaking news: yes, our first 10 products or 30 videos might be trash. Who cares? Post them anyway! Build that solution.
The only way we can figure out how to make it good later is by starting now.
Not a motivation, rather an experience.

"A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It is where the rich use public transportation."
Oh my days guys!!!! Saw someone standing beside me on the tube just now and thought he looked very familiar.
Tapped him gently and asked:
“are you by chance…Peter?? “
Him: Yes….
Me: Drury?????
Him: “That’s me”
Me: 🤯🤯🤯
Me: (looks around check if any other person spotted this absolute legend)
Me: Proceeds to have a nice chat about the EPL, LFC, City114, Messi..
Loved his perspectives and energy!!
An absolute Legend FR!!🫶

Introducing Bridge.
I built this while working IT at the State Revenue Service. We had several servers running different services, but routing traffic to them was pure friction. Every deployment meant updating a stack of configurations across the board.
So I built Bridge.
Bridge is a lightweight daemon (emphasis on lightweight) that runs on your VMs. It watches services spin up and down, builds an automatic routing table across your fleet,automatic cross VM replication and makes every node aware of every service, no matter where it lives.
What it does: • Plugs into your existing stack: Traefik(@traefik ), Nginx(@nginxorg ), or whatever you already run • Cross-fleet routing: one entry point, multiple servers • Makes a fleet of VMs work like one, bridging the brain so to speak. First class support for @coolifyio
Already in production: • Powers cafx (routing across degen, futures, and AI platforms)
• Runs at AKIRS (task portal, internal staff tools, and AI assistant)
It is Open source. Fork it, change it, add whatever you want, create a PR.

I remember I and Harri promising ourselves to put Nigeria on these sort of maps because they often showed up with us missing.
We also made a conscious effort of to spread the access and footprint beyond Lagos Abuja and PHC. Seeing UYO here is a full circle moment.
We are just getting started. @SuperteamNG will go parabolic with our new plans. Jobs not finished.

If you are in Uyo you shouldn't miss out on this

I grew up playing The Sims 3 and always wondered what it would be like if the Sims lived in a world inspired by ours.🤷🏽♀️
Then I saw @eureka_seamless riding a danfo through Lagos, and it sparked an idea: Lagos Life Sims.
Take a look around. Who knows, you might make a new friend in the Sims world.

So yeah, with the month coming to an end, this is probably a good time to remind founders and finance teams that FossaPay Bulk Payouts exist
Pay salaries. Pay vendors. Pay suppliers. Settle contractors.
From the dashboard or through the API.
