EDIT: This actually doesn't work, but I thought I was being clever. For those mentioning needing Facebook accounts. It looks like you don't need a Facebook account to game the reward system. Assume a person has a main account (user1) with at least 1050 STR. 1. Create a New Account (user2) 2. Transfer 1050 STR from user1 -> user2 3. Transfer 1000 STR from user2 -> user1 4. Stellarfoundation makes 1000 STR deposit into…

No, that doesn't actually work (just double checked to make sure). Would be a clever hole though :).

It seems like you have to had the account for a while. But yeah, far from perfect protection regardless.

People with networks of fake accounts routinely set them up in advance & run simulated activity. This is normally used for e.g. selling fake likes. It's taken as a given that you will have regular churn as accounts are detected, occasionally high spikes of turnover as fraud detection and safeguards change, that kind of stuff. Often the action of converting network behavior into currency activity is what burns account…

As soon as I signed up, I was thinking of this hole. So why doesn't it work? Is it that you are not permitted to transfer back the money?

I'm in touch with Stellar developers, and they confirmed that this individual is indeed gaming the system.

That is the definition of hearsay. If you have evidence, post it and give it an accurate and neutral title. Until you do, the claim is groundless, and groundlessly accusing people is not ok. Ragebait titles aren't ok either.
