I have 'Connecting...' on the main screen, so I cannot send out anything. Possibly a bug? And every time I log out, I have to sign in again.

Honestly, I'm impressed that Stripe is that well capitalized. It's an awesome service, way to go guys.

I registered for this and got 5,000.999999 Stellars. Kinda curious about the 0.999999 part...

The values are probably stored in float, which is ridiculous.

This confused me as well. Stellars are stored in fixed point, as millionths of a stellar. But there's a tiny anti-spam fee for each payment transaction, so if you've sent money somewhere you may find an extra 0.000010 gone.

Interesting, this looks like a fork of Ripple (and is by an original creator of Ripple).

Yup, obviously a fork of Ripple. While at Ripple, Jed acqui-hired his gf Joyce (SimpleHoney). Then MtGox blew up (Jed still had his profit-sharing agreement with MtGox from his sale to Mark Karpeles). Then Jed announced he was going to dump his 9 billion XRPs ("fyi, XRP dump incoming") because he didn't like the direction his co-founder Chris was taking Ripple.

Then he launches Stellar, the XRP clone. Didn't even bother to change the total token amount (both XRP and Stellar have a cap of 100 billion tokens).
