Earlier quoted context omitted.

It captures the metaphier of “you do nothing further on your end, and stuff of value falls in your lap”. This offer doesn’t do that and requires active steps on your part. If it’s air-anything, it’s “air rendezvous” :-p

ah, well, for preexisting Keybase users with linked GitHub accounts it fits that description - I found out about it because I got given some without doing anything.

I thought you specifically had to approve the participation even if you already met the criteria?

How to join the drop: 1) install Keybase: https://keybase.io/download 2) add your device 3) in the app, go to devices (second to last item in the nav) and add two paper keys 4) click on your avatar (top of nav) and select "View profile" 5) click "Prove your [GitHub, Hackernews]" and follow the steps (HN might take a while to update, took about 2 mins for me) 6) now you should be able to join the drop

I have the same problem as the comments above

Am I correctly interpreting the clause as saying that pretty much only Americans are eligible? I'm confused because if that is the intent then the clause is really burying the lede when it starts out by excluding "users in certain countries".

No. That doesn’t exclude other countries - it means you are not illegally living in the US (“non-resident alien”). They are just complying with US sanctions/international law.

So what if you're temporarily in the US on a tourist (B1/B2) visa? Or on NAFTA status? Or as a non-resident using H1-B (which is dual intent)?

Non-resident alien doesn't mean illegal immigrant at all. As the name implies, it means you're a non-citizen who is also not residing in the US.

Hi. Does anyone know how I can join the xlm airdrop? I dont have a keybase account or a github or hacker news account. I created an account for keybase today but they say I am too late and need to connect an account which was registered before the 9th September? Any help please. Thanks.

To avoid bots they don't seem to be allowing new github or hacker news accounts. So it looks like you are out of luck if you didn't already have those accounts.

Previous topic that got flagged for some reason: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20919736

I flagged that one (and this one) because a cryptocoin giveaway isn’t newsworthy at HN, any more than “free iPad contest” or “get a $20 gift card” deals would be.

The funny thing is that it seems that the amount of XLM you get (according to https://keybase.io/a/i/r/d/r/o/p/spacedrop2019 ) is related to the number of people who sign up. It appears that the amount of airdrop money is being divided equally amongst all the people who sign up. So in a round-about way, after you have signed up, you are actually incentivized to not spread the news. As it stands right now, if nobody e…

From the top of the bottom part: > The Finest of Fine Print > No individual recipient will get more than $500 USD worth of Lumens.

The question is: How long is your wallet worth $500 USD. The value dropped in the last months significantly.

Otherwise - it´s free money.

I think Keybase is great but I'm not really much interested in the Crypto Currency stuff. I would much rather they focus on good authentication services, there is so much great things you can do with what they have now.

I think i'm interested but unfortunately my karma point isn't enough to prove my HN identity. Maybe, some help would do smiles
