#152Earlier quoted context omitted.
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
Well, the one thing Stellar has going for it is that Stripe is on board. Though afaict Stripe is not yet integrated as a Stellar gateway.
The only thing keeping Ripple alive is the fact that Bitstamp is a Ripple gateway.

#154Seems off that they give you 5000 "stellars" to access your Facebook friends list and photos...
I work at Stellar. We wanted a method by which we could fund people once (to prevent someone from spinning up a lot of fake accounts to claim) hence the decision to move forward with Facebook. I know it isn't perfect, but we are doing our best to make the giveaway broadly accessible and not game-able. And we are working on other claim methods so yes, totally hear your concerns.
Good to hear, I'm looking forward to the other claim methods now after reading your mandate

#155Site 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.
Looks like it's working now. Thanks!
Edit: Spoke too soon. My wife can't sign up. Button just says "Sending" indefinitely.
Edit 2: She just got an email confirmation code, despite the signup eventually failing outright. But she can't log in, says the username is invalid. So what is the confirmation code associated with?
Edit 3: It finally worked. Yay!

Seems to be responding better but the recovery code process is a little off. Says that the email address I'm trying to use is taken (it's the one I used at registration after the nag message) and that my recovery code is invalid.

#158Something weird seems to be going on: at first I didn't get any compensation for making my first transaction, then I got 1000 STR from StellarFoundation 34 times. Now my account has 39000 STR in it...
Weird. I'm one of the Stellar devs -- could you email your stellar username to jed@stellar.org? Thanks!

#159Re: Stellar
#160Tried signing up but after a minute of waiting I was told my username was already taken. Then, I received an email saying I successfully signed up (with that same username), with a broken link to "forums.stellar.org". Managed to visit "forum.stellar.org" without an issue. I think you may have launched a little soon... EDIT: now unable to log in with my username and password combination.
Same problem here. My account seems to be in an inconsistent state. I can't log in, but my username and email are "already in use".
