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…

This is an interesting/generous giveaway... I'm not sure what to think about XLM. On the one hand, I am very pessimistic about all altcoins, but on the other, I am impressed with Stripe, Keybase, and the teams behind those products.

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.

for HN, they also require at least 2 karma. a little annoying because i only use my account for lurking and only have 1 karma.

Mee too :-)
