Yep, for sure. The goal is to get stellars into the hands of as many people as possible, and so moving beyond just FB is definitely a priority. (If you want, I'd be happy to send you a few stellar to play with in the meanwhile.)

View on HN

I absolutely hate Facebook but I have a Facebook account which I never use (mostly used to look up people). I tried to use this account during the Stellar registration process and I am getting "Facebook account is too new to qualify". Can you please help?

Oof, that's annoying. We probably can't tell the age on your account. If you send me your stellar username, I'll send some stellars over.

Aren't fb user IDs assigned as increasing numbers? You could probably just decide on a cut-off user ID and treat all lower numbers as "older".

They are increasing within any one user database, but there are many of these databases. So useridA < useridB only implies B is newer than A if dbid(useridA) == dbid(useridB).

I've got the same problem as some other users here, my FB account was flagged as spam -- not that surprising since I don't use it, but it's annoying.

same problem here. I hope they provide other methods for doing this soon.

Well, since everyone else is asking, my username is ryanc, and I don't have a Facebook account.

That'd be great, I don't have FB. My username is tripzilch, the same as on HN.

Can I also get some stellar? Same username here and there. Thanks in advance.

Yep, some should be on their way shortly.

Appreciate having some stellar for my account too - 'guyc'

How can I, instead, get in touch with you directly? simone.brunozzi then the weird character then gmail.

Same username as HN, no Facebook account.

Got them, thanks!

"ochoa" wouldn't mind some stellar sans Facebook account.

Thanks - same username as on HN.

Shazam! You have stellars.

My user name is catalyst. Thanks.

I don't have a Facebook account, and register one detected as spam.

Shutdown my facebook a/c a few months back. Could you send to me directly please? Same username as HN

I'm in the same boat -- same username as HN, but facebook login isn't working.

Thanks. Just out of curiosity, how did you get your Stellars?

The same way as everyone else — OAuth'd with Facebook :).

Unfortunately, I don't have a FB account either. It isn't clear that one is required at signup. Any chance of at least a partial allotment? Username is joninasheville. Thanks.

Would appreciate some also. The connect with Facebook button on the Stellar dashboard isn't working. Username is keanemachine ;)

ME too I have same problem with the facebook button. Same username as this one i.e. noso.

Can I have some too ? id = pskl

same user name as here - don't have facebook
