Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

From FAQs: To prevent spam, each transaction burns 10 microstellars (that is, 0.00001 stellars).

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.

Cool makes sense. Maybe some messaging on the login form would be helpful.

Site seems to have broken. It never finished connecting to Facebook, and now when I go to the dashboard the steps are missing entirely. When I go to Settings and try and enable password recovery I get "Server error". In the Console it says it got a 502 from api.stellar.org. That's in Chrome. In Safari, I don't even get a response to clicking on a settings toggle. Merely loading the dashboard gives me a CORS error.

Sorry, our web client is currently down under the load. We're on it.

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 bot…

This sounds like a stable currency that is well worth my time and interest

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…

Hello, we check various properties of your Facebook account to determine that this was not a spam account created simply to exploit the giveaway. This is our first day out, and we apologize that legitimate users like yourself aren't able to receive the giveaway. Please check back in the coming days as we continue to improve our spam detection algorithms.
