Earlier quoted context omitted.

Of course it does, otherwise I'd be able to register an unlimited number of accounts to get as much free Stellars as I wanted.

I wonder how they'll prevent this with the other authorization options which apparently are on their way

At minimum, N auth options mean an easy N*5000 stellars per unsophisticated user.

(I can create a FB-linked account today, and say an SMS-linked account tomorrow, and then merge the two).

Agh, the Stellar client requires a Facebook login to get a share of the initial batch. :/

You still can if you are willing to contact the people that do the Facebook Ad manipulation. ;)

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.

Are you using Ghostery?

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

Same message and my account is two and a half years old. I have no friends on the account, so maybe "too new" really means "not enough friends". Edit: Because this is generating some discussion, I'll clarify that it is not actually my main account which is why I have no friends or photos, but I don't like giving third parties access to my private main account information. The spam detection seems to have worked well…

Your network isn't valuable enough to datamine, so you get no funny money. That's the message I'm taking away....

Pretty excited for what comes of this. For devs reading, auth doesn't seem to be persistent - if I refresh I get logged out.

This is actually for security -- your password is never sent to the server, and so the client needs to decrypt your wallet again.
