Title: Stellar privacy concern

To get the 5K stellar, they require most of your personal info and picture from FaceBook.

This is a fairly serious privacy issue.

Which is why I don't own any stellar. I saw that and said, "Nah."

The primary motive behind Bitcoin and most subsequent crypto currencies is decentralization and anonymity. Does anybody really need to know who is who for it to work? I think not.

If you fall for this Stellar ploy, then you are a complete and utter fuckwit.

From a glance, it looks like little more than Ripple++ anyway...

Well, it is. Jedd (from Ripple) is one of the developers, so what did you expect? :P

STR is stellar coins which are similar to the XRP coins used in the ripple system. Both stellar and ripple work differently to bitcoin and normal alt coins.
