stellar account detection mechanism is screwed. you can't do anything about it. :/ A distribution depending on a centralized social network along with a centralized DB to maintain transaction logs is always screwed.

As this is not the main Stellar thread, I hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions, some of which might be difficult, some just plain noobish to the Stellar approach.
I have been to a few meetings with bankers that made their living moving money for Wal-Mart into China to pay for goods. As you may know WalMart buys a significant proportion of its goods from China so it transacts $billions through the banking system. WalMart move so much money they can do so almost at cost.
Stellar is not really for big businesses. It does make sense for the majority of the market, the SME banking system and possibly the remittances market. Big businesses might be interested if it means they can trust Stellar and remove their cost of maintaining their own networks, but that carries various risks including regulatory risks.
But why isn't Stellar subject to regulations?
The only way I can think it would avoid being a regulated entity is if Stellar is a payment gateway where funds are never at risk. Clearly the recent forks demonstrate that funds might be at risk. If there is a chance that trusted funds might not make it to the other end of a transaction then Stellar needs to be regulated and not in just one jurisdiction but in every country that connects through Stellar. Surely?

Hi, I have a couple of questions.
Regarding the XRP and BTC giveaway of 20% of str coins planning to happen before 31 january 2015, when I am right. 1. What happens to unclaimed coins? 2. Being a substantial holder of STR, I am really afraid for a big proce drop after the giveaway, is this a legitimate concern?
Curious to know your ideas?

1. Not too sure about that. I would guess the foundation will keep them and find another way to distribute them. 2. Most of the people expect a sharp price drop after the giveaway (which is possible). But I have also learned that the majority is almost always wrong. I agree, funny thing is, when everyone is afraid of a pricedrop and because of that not buying at the moment, the opposite could be true. Very probable, might be to see a bottom just before the 20% giveaway.

The need to liquidate to get some funds will be widespread.

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. https://www.stellar.org/about/mandate/Let me get this straight: 1. If a bitcoin holder wants to buy STR now, they shouldn't bother, they will get STR anyway. If they buy STR now, they will lose their free STR later and worse, the STR they buy now will be devalued by those getting free STR and dumping them. 2. Exchanges will end up with free STR and the actual owners of the BTC held by those exchanges won't see a single STR. 3. Satoshi could claim most of the 19% giveaway Please tell me someone has thought this through and I'm being completely clueless about the carnage that is about to happen. edit looks like others think the price will collapse for an extended period https://stellartalk.org/topic/6490-bitcoin-program-and-stellar-price/
