Hello, Andrew from Stellar here. We're using Facebook as our identity verification mechanism for our giveaway, and we've added additional spam prevention checks to ensure lots of Facebook accounts aren't created just to claim the giveaway reward. We will be tweaking these checks in the coming days to ensure legitimate users like yourself will be let in. Please check back soon!

Hi, I'm excited about Stellar, but disappointed in the initial offering scheme. People with lots of real-looking Facebook accounts can grab some extra funny money and the rest of us get shafted. I'll check back later!
Welp, I guess I won't be using Stellar
Hi, Andrew, please realize you are depending on the desire of people on HN not to be assholes to acquire imaginary currency.
A part of me was sorely tempted, out of annoyance, to simply acquire enough facebook accounts that would bypass your check just to point out how little value it has. I've long since quashed the urge but not everyone will.
