I read this whole article and I'm still not sure if this is a real thing or a parody.

My coins that I had since 2014 were 'corrupted', and unrecoverable, even though the only thing I have is the exact code that the stellar website and email sent me. Great stuff!

Any coins that are unclaimed will be reallocated to the Stellar foundation. An optimistic view may hold that they might attempt to give them away to more people. A pessimistic view may propose that they're now able to sell them without looking like they're trying to make money. So maybe they already reclaimed your coins?

Honestly, I don't care what happens to the coins after they were taken from me, just like I don't care if someone steals my car and joy rides with it, or steals my car and drives their grandma to dialysis with it. The fact that they knew there was a technical issue, but didn't try to redistribute the coins at the time they recognized the issue. I realize this is like $1 we are talking about, but hey, that's loss aversion for you.

I recently recovered a bunch of coins I signed up for in 2014 and had no issues.

Same thing happened to me. They changed their infrastructure and now I can't recover mine.

If you lost the 6k coins that they distributed for free back in 2014, you lost way more than $1.

How did you manage to do this? I'm in the same boat. I have the username, password and recovery key yet I can't login and the website tells me that recovery has been disabled for my account.

Craziest part is that the founders have insane $. All they need to do is start selling into the Stellar strength and cash out like the Litecoin dude.

Same. Friend of mine tipped me off to having rediscovered his account, I gave it a try, and everything worked out after the conversion to the new platform (which is when STR became XLM).

This was maybe 4-5 weeks ago.

Exact same here - please let me know if you figure out the solution.
