I'm curious and skeptical.
On one hand, I hate having to connect my Facebook. That is a red flag to me.
On the other, check out their team! Holy cow! They have a bunch of really smart people with some very good experience!
Topic: Stellar - page 134. (Read 521248 times)
Went ahead and signed up for an account. Connected with my FB page and received the 5,000 stellar reward bonus as advertised. So far so good.
Interested in what these Hero Members have to say about this blatant scam.
Can you explain this claim?
Although I'm seeing the founder make a sell off after a certain time, the same as he did with ripple.
this is quite bad for ripple 
stellar is being distrubted by 95% in the beginning - this is a statement

Hmmm... how is that snapshot supposed to work if bitcoin is held in an exchange (i.e. BTC-E) or service (i.e. Coinbase)
Or holders of Casascius coins...

Are there any major differences between this and XRP?
Stellar is trying to be Ripple with the evil taken out, i.e. much better distribution, a democratic process with voting on the use of newly generated coins, and an emphasis on regular users and community projects (whereas Ripple's emphasis is firmly on integration with financial institutions like banks).
Edit: Also run by a non-profit foundation rather than as a business.
Very well stated. Given that the Ripple Protocol is impressive tech and much of the Ripple hatred is RL related - I have high hopes for this project.
Connect through facebook? 
Jed, wtf?
Edit: Besides that it looks like ripple.com done right.

This snapshot thing is idiotic. Exchanges are going to get gazillions of coins.
I can see the point of it if it includes addresses containing more than a tiny amount of bitcoins, but excludes addresses containing huge amounts of bitcoins. A small number of people hold a large percentage of all mined bitcoins and they would also hold a large percentage of stellar if their wallets are included. There will be endless complaints about an unfair distribution similar to the complaints about Nxt's distribution.

I saw some block explorers that could guess if a wallet address was on a big exchange, but it's only a guess, and only for some of the biggest exchanges. Does stellar use this to attempt excluding exchange wallets? Even if they do it will still make Satoshi and big early adopters even richer.
Exchanges and services hold their client's Bitcoin in an address different from the deposit address. That is why, when you receive coins, it is automatically transferred to another account (that you don't own).
Free, so its worth a shot lol

Let's see... for the moment I don't really see the point (as I didn't see it in Ripple either) but time will tell.
