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

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 if its to make it harder for us to all start selling drugs to each other.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I just sent you 1000 stellars :-) We could set up a chain where we each give to the previous user so all of us get +1000 :-) My username is "lck"

+1 for the chain idea.

Can anyone give an insight to why they decided to have the stellars pre mined? Wouldn't that make stellars not valuable...

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…

Ya, that could be it.

Your site isn't ready to be launched when you try to hurd people through Facebook auth, after registering my email, and then it doesn't even work....

By that logic, any site with any bug in it should never been launched. If it broke, report the bug. It's Open Source: https://github.com/stellar.

So people can't create bots to farm Stellar money. You get free Stellar when signing up.

Hello, Andrew from Stellar here. We're using Facebook as our identity verification mechanism for our giveaway, and we've added additional spam prevention checks to ensure lots of Facebook accounts aren't created just to claim the giveaway reward. We will be tweaking these checks in the coming days to ensure legitimate users like yourself will be let in. Please check back soon!
