This guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=719019.msg8416583#msg8416583 is selling his invite codes. Use an escrow if you wanna trade with him, especially if it involves lot of money

Yes, it's a scam, or at least a cheap attempt to get rich by copying Ripple.

Stay away unless you're good at judging when to buy and when to sell.

If you are in any doubt, have a look at the section on the "team". This should tell you all you need to know about the brats running the show.

I still do not understand why someone will receive 3000 stellars and 2 days later only 150  :-\

It feels like a scam alright.

Fork an existing coin, distribute to a first few and then almost stop and sell all the premines.

Early birds get the worm.

All projects reward early supporters because it make economic sense.

No, its because they needed to get some quick publicity. Once that was done they no longer needed to give out to the others.

This is one coin to avoid, will falter soon.

Actually, it was 5000 at first. Next thing you know, it is down to 150.

I can't be bothered to even create an account just for 150 str considering the number of coins in total.

I was one of the first and I got 6000 stellars. Now the new users get only a small fraction of it.
