Looks like it was pre-mined. They are giving away up to 6k if you connect your Facebook and verify your email.

"One key difference is that 95% of the currency is being given away for free at the outset, the bulk of it from an initial issuance of 100 billion coins created by the not-for-profit foundation that will run the project. New coins will be later added at no cost to the circulation at a rate of 1% per year."

The "Connect with Facebook" button on Stellar's dashboard appears to be broken, or at least for me, anyway. Clicking it results in a "Loading..." message that never seems to go away.

See if you're not blocking FB with AdBlock or Disconnect.

Ah, Disconnect was the issue. Thank you!

It says my Facebook account is "too new" to get Stellars.... I've had it for over 3 months. What's the reasoning?

I reactivated mine to attempt to get access to the Stellars as well. Its also "too new". Ah well. Still a neat idea, I'll just have no use for it until it matures since I can't use it.

I am one of the folks working at Stellar. Yes, FB isn't a login method that will work for everyone. Today is just day 1; we plan on adding more methods soon. Also, anyone can create an account/wallet without even registering your email. FB auth is only for the giveaway.

it says the FB account is too new even though it's several months old?
