Stellar

[Hero0o]

Yup, just think about this:
A lot of people, that mostly doesn't understand cryptocurrencies, are going to get some XXX coins (Stellars)
They have probably heard that "someone" has become rich with this kind of shit (Bitcoin)
They will find they their Stellars value is no more than $10 o likely.

How many of them will want to sell their Stellars just to get only $10!?
My guess is that they will start to hoard them ...

correct, or even they will buy more, if 100,000 facebook users buy 20 usd worth.. thats like 2000 btcs.

So, guess we already have a competitor for btc..

heard from a friend, do you agree?

Bitcoin is 1.0
Stellar is 1.5
NEM is 2.0

1.0
1.5
2.0
Is it some ranking?

Hello,
Not sure about that
Think Bitcoin is Bitcoin and that is.
I am watching at Stellar price these days and noticed today it is going down a bit. Hope this is not a trend.
BTW I am looking to buy some Stellar as the price is little cheap right now. Someone is selling today?

or they can buy btc, wait 6 months, and claim 2000 BTC worth of Stellar for FREE and keep all their BTC.  
20% of the total Stellar has been put aside to be given away to btc holders that claim it, based on a snapshot of the blockchain at an unspecified point in time and their proof of address ownership  
If you want some better start using a wallet and not keep all your coins on an exchange (Stellar has no way to determine if the address owners are individuals or exchanges)

Bitcoin program
20% of the initial stellars are set aside to be distributed to holders of bitcoin and XRP (19% for bitcoin holders and 1% for XRP holders).

We will take a snapshot of the bitcoin blockchain at a particular date and will set up a claim page that will allow bitcoin holders to receive their pro-rata share of the stellars reserved under this program by verifying they control their address from that blockchain snapshot. For example, a user owning .001% of the bitcoins in the blockchain snapshot would receive .001% of the stellars set aside for bitcoin holders under this program, or 190,000 stellars.

For bitcoin holders, distribution will begin within 6 months after Stellar is open to the public. The Foundation will maintain this claim site for at least 3 months.

You are wrong.. you wont get 1 btc worth of stellar if you own 1 btc if not everyone would be stellarionarie.. the rate will be 1500 per btc.. thats about 0.005 btc.

Yes you are right, it is the percentage of bitcoins you own out of the total bitcoins at the snapshot date, and you get an equal percentage of the Stellars they allocated for it.   My point is that as there are billions of stellar, almost anyone with bitcoin will be able to claim a decent amount of stellar at that date.  So why buy now, just hold your bitcoins.

i guess JED want to kill ripple..wow..

hi,
just to share my 8 days on stellar...

i open wallet on 1 august...
i realize that without FC i cant get 5000STR....one bad feeling...
afer...
my password manager software memorized wrong password on stellar.org, and i did not yet verify my email address, so i was not able to recover my password...
i send few emails and ask in forum for help, but after 8 days and a lot of posts and emails, i still can not access to my wallet...
https://forum.stellar.org/t/technical-support/42/118
support is little slow..
on Tuesday i ask my friend to open account on stellar.org and after connecting with Facebook he received 900 STR
yesterday i ask i friend to open an account for stellar, hi has FB account so i log in and he received only 400 STR...
so i asked Mashall Hayner if he can help because my login problems and i sad to him, that i will not ever receive initial amount of 5000STR   and that i'm not able to log in and use my wallet...

this was his response... nothing about my login problems...
Read here:
Hey Kriss,

We adjusted the amount of stellar you will receive to be approximate to $10USD as there is now an official valuation of STR, which you can find at stellarvalue.org

When you sign up now it works like this: 500 STR for Facebook auth, 400 STR for recovery code verification, and 100 STR for sending to a friend. The additional 3.5k STR you will receive over a period of time. Hope this helps.

Best,
Marshalli

can say that i never in my life send so many email and ask in forum for help, that i did in last 8 days...

So basically u will get around 5k stellar with current price is 0.00000445 multiply with amount of 4500 is equal some 0.02 BTC not bad amount i just say for few minutes of work .

It's 99.7% premine and Stellar-Stripe ("SS") controls 94% of all tradeable Stellar.  If someone's dumping then you know who.

It's going to be fun watching the price volatility.  When you control that much of a coin you can pump and dump to infinity and make loads of cash.

[digit]

if they keep making adjustments like that, how will they ever give away the 95% of stellar for free.  they will end up with a huge amount kept in their accounts unless they also increase their giveaway amount when stellar price drops?  Can we see this happening?

I brought this up a long time ago.   Ripple promised to distribute its' coin and it never did.  Stellar seems to be pulling the same stunt where, after causing a commotion by throwing money on the street, has significantly clawed back on the Stellar they are giving out.

Remember there is 100 billion coins
They're still sitting on 99.7 billion coins.  Then they control 94% of tradeable stellar due to their 5 billion coins out of 5.3 billion tradeable.  There's was nothing stopping them from instabuying when it hit the exchanges before most of the public knew.

  Nothing stopping them from pumping and dumping as we speak.  As I said there's huge manipulation here and it's just to make Stellar-Stripe (the "SS") a lot of easy money.



If they're going to restrict it to $10 or less forever, they'll be sitting on a premine that'll never go away.

[iluvbitcoins]

do we receive any stellars after the initial 1000 and when?

[Stepha]

the price of Stellar is very good, but it seems more expensive for me. if it will go down in price, i will buy some to hold.

Really not sure if that is the best option you will do. If price goes directly down most of the people will sell all of their coins.
I had little hope in Latium, but looks like the price of LAT is going into the toilet nowadays.

Kikan, please fill this form - https://docs.google.com/a/gostellar.org/forms/d/1EvLu5w0UPdsl47PJm8dqBkgPiKM7X_j6LbyeiM_e-rg/viewform.
I suppose that we will be able to help afterwards (I cannot tell you exact time, maybe week or so). Next time please remember your password if it is clearly written to do so.

[wizzardTim]

Glad I got some stellar now that they're cheap

[kravchenkopo]

do we receive any stellars after the initial 1000 and when?

Yes, according to the latest announcements (https://stellartalk.org/topic/83-stellar-updates/) distribution is done in several transactions. It can take up to a week.

they should explain this better....I don't get it (ok, i must say I just woke up lol)

[3x2]

I think if now you register you will get 500 Stellar, The amount has been reduced to 500.
