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.
My username is michaelmcmillan. I'll send 1000 back to the first who sends to me. Let me know here. Let's get a proper chain going on reddit: http://reddit.com/r/thestellar

#94100% pre-mined? No thanks. People complain about the distribution of Bitcoin being imbalanced. This is 100x worse.
Hi, I work at Stellar. The FB auth is the first of several methods to receive stellars so we will add more methods soon. Also, mining obviously has many benefits, but it's still limited to people who are highly technical and/or who have money to spend. We wanted to provide much broader access to digital currency, and so stellars will be given away for free at the click of a button. To encourage transparency, anyone c…
Without the inclusion of mining and the incentives to establish a mining infrastructure, how do you intend to provide safe decentralized verification of transactions?

#96I 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.
A better way to phrase what you just did:
Maybe the values are stored as a float? But that would be silly, so there must be a better reason.Re: Stellar
#97Can anyone give an insight to why they decided to have the stellars pre mined? Wouldn't that make stellars not valuable...
We want to give them away as fairly and to as many people as possible. Stellar doesn't require mining and so there's no need to give them away to the people with the most CPU cycles. Anyone can participate regardless of technical ability or income.
Re: Stellar
#98Curious how much do people think one Stellar is worth? Or will be in future?
Now, about 1 Stellar. In the future, about 1 Stellar.

#99It 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…
Yeah, see, I would probably find that incredibly suspicious as well. Though, most spam accounts try to get around this by sending out hundreds of friend requests to random people.

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!
Hi, I'm excited about Stellar, but disappointed in the initial offering scheme. People with lots of real-looking Facebook accounts can grab some extra funny money and the rest of us get shafted. I'll check back later!
