  are we the same? no word like " you are on the waiting list?"

Yep, and as I said this method should be used also to spread the next pre-mined alt-coins

Maybe it's time to ask some kins and friends their login passwords...

Welcome to the club, first they promised we get paid the rest in two days, then it changed to three days, now it's changed to a week. It wouldn't surprise me if they changed it to two weeks after we have been waiting for a week.

i registered 3 days ago but no sign of waiting the 3500 coins..

only crossed out the "you connected your facebook" ... but the other had like you are on the waiting list ....


it means i iwill not receive anything?

which good blackhat hackers have access to thousands of

the person you're describing is a programmer not a hacker

What if some dark hacker makes a bot to create fb accounts,emails and simulates autoclicks?

Then all this becomes injustice, he could get hundred of thousands stellars

Aheem ?? Did you see a software of STR? Because I sure didn't. All I know is, that STR could be a centralised ledger system.

Or do you run a client?

It is truely impressive when looking at the numbers of stellars. Lets hope this developement also helps bitcoin. Kind of like many people learned about doge first but then realized BTC is the true deal!

I wanted to post a snapshot of Stellar's first week for everyone, so here it is!

Traffic

We launched at 9 am Pacific time on Thursday, July 31. At 9 am today, just one week later, our Facebook auth count stands at over 240,000 people. In our mandate, which we determined pre-launch, our goal was to fund a minimum of 10,000 people in the first month, and 180,000 people total by the end of the fourth month. We ended up reaching the former goal in the first day, and now the latter goal in the first week. This level of response seriously exceeded our predictions, and we want to thank everyone (and especially those who invited their friends and family to sign up!) for that.

We'd expected that we'd have a launch day traffic spike and then a lull, but instead our launch day traffic (56,000 uniques) has been increasingly surpassed (147,000 uniques yesterday). 50% of our traffic comes from repeat visitors, and it's been exciting to see this forum, Stellartalk, be created by community members and grow to almost 2000 users. Two channels have particularly pushed in new users at a very high rate: Mechanical Turk (after people saw this blog post) and viral growth in Southeast Asia amongst early adopters.
 
Adapting to the growth
 
The unexpected Mechanical Turk-ing caused consumers to learn about Stellar earlier than we had planned and led to virality sooner than we were prepared for. Unfortunately, all this additional traffic caused our Facebook giveaway to have some scaling issues, which we believe we've addressed (though please be patient if load spikes cause issues in the future — we are as excited for you to have your stellar as you are!).

The signup rate continued to increase, but we wanted to make sure we could handle the growth. So at approximately 10am PST on Sunday, we activated the waitlist we'd built pre-launch. New signups were placed on a queue rather than receiving initial stellars. Yet this still did not slow down the signups and within a few hours, the waitlist had over 17,000 people.

Since launch, we made a few adjustments with the goal of 1) stabilizing the rate of new stellars entering the market and 2) providing people immediate access to some stellars for education. These adjustments included:

• Staggering the stellar reward amount into two parts, an immediate portion and one to be rewarded later. (Saturday)[/*]
  
• Turning off the waitlist but keeping the staggered payout (Sunday night)[/*]
  
• Adjusting the stellar reward amount to *approximately $10 (Monday morning)[/*]
  

• Total potential reward went from 7000 stellars (approx. $18 USD at time of posting) to 4500 stellars (approximately $11.70 at time of posting).[/*]
  
• Upgraded our database server and removed a bad web server that was responsible for intermittent errors (Tuesday morning)[/*]
  
• Preparing the distribution for the staggered payout of stellars (by end of the week)[/*]
  

Those changes have stabilized our technical issues and allowed us to continue to operate the giveway. But providing uninterrupted access to stellars to people in conjunction with some kind of educational outreach and something for them to do with stellars has proven to be a difficult challenge.
 
Towards the future
 
In our mandate, we stated:
 
We will now activate the waitlist again. People will be let off waitlist per the factors listed above: availability of in-language educational material, tools and local gateways, and an invite system we'll be releasing soon. To ensure reasonable distribution, they'll be given a number of stellar (still targeting $10) depending on when they're taken off the wait list, not when they're added to it.

Our goal from the start has been to provide digital currency education. Our early growth in Southeast Asia reminds us we need to focus on adding more global scope to the open source developer community and our educational outreach. To that end, we will prioritize translating some of our content into local languages. Having grown up in a bilingual home, I know how important language accessibility is and want to make sure it stays a priority.

Over the next few weeks, we will be experimenting with different ways to keep the giveaway stable and to make sure we are achieving our goals of providing educational content alongside the giveaway. No digital currency has ever had this kind of open distribution, and we are learning every day. Thank you for being part of this with us.
