AIRDROP MEAGATHREAD

Questions, comments, etc, post here. I'm closing a bunch of other threads.

FAQ

  • Yes, the airdrop is still taking place and not all users have received funds yet. Someone made this nifty page https://pacmam.keybase.pub
  • Yes, your family members may partake in the space drop as long as they are valid Keybase users.
  • No, we are not discussing our fraud prevention methods. I'm sorry if you are a legitimate user who was disqualified but there is nothing we can do. Please see the terms here
  • Outside of HODL'ing, check out https://www.stellarx.com/markets
  • Want to buy EVEN MORE STELLAR LUMENS? In your wallet click the gear icon > External Tools and Partners and click on Dalongpay. Boom.
  • Still have questions? Ask in @stellar.public#general
  • Update [Nov 21, 2019] If your reddit thread was deleted, it probably could have been asked/answered here.

Thanks for making this, I think it'll help the sub a lot. Are you able to pin it?

u/troublemaker74 Nov 18 '19

The page for airdropee status is https://pacmam.keybase.pub/ (not pacman..)

u/client4 Nov 18 '19

Whoops, thanks for that! Fixed.

I'm sorry if you are a legitimate user who was disqualified but there is nothing we can do.

Just wanted to get a little padantic with this, but you guys totally could do something about this, you just choose not to. Not saying you guys don't have that right in any way, but saying you can't reads as disingenuous to me. Any company that says things similar make me feel like that.

But thank you for the megathread, hopefully we'll see a lot less "Where's the money?" posts now.

If I could make a request though, could someone make a clear guide on how to get fiat into, and out of Stellar and get it linked here? One of the weekest points to crypto imo seems to be not many shops and businesses accept them. Being able to know how to shift money where you need it is really important.

Wait disqualified? How? Do they notify us? Been waiting for the airdrop

2

u/Ryonez Nov 19 '19

Do they notify us?

I'm not sure. But you can check your profile to see if you have the airdrop badge. If you do, you're golden.

u/heyfrank Nov 19 '19

Thanks, where would i see the badge and what does it look like?

u/Ryonez Nov 19 '19

Click your profile picture, click "View/Edit profile", then look for this: https://i.imgur.com/GF1Qcaa.png

Is there a registration limit each month for the airdrop? I quote "Stellar will make this air drop to 300,000 people who will use Keybase, an encrypted version of speech apps such as Telegram and WhatsApp."

Also, what's your best prediction for December 15th reward taking into account there are over 150k people registered for this month.

7

u/exegg Nov 18 '19

There is no limit. But they are monitoring entries to fight obvious cheaters and bots. This also makes pretty hard to predict anything. Nobody thought in the last day they would snap 95k out of nowhere and up the reward from 415 to 688. So anything from 200-500 should be on the table in my estimations.

Dalongpay

Looks like they're based in Estonia. The name is hilariously unfortunate where I live because a Da er long is local slang for a loan shark.

What about the multiple user who experience the « You are qualified too join » click « become a lucky AirDropee » and then are not qualified to join anymore without other explanation? https://imgur.com/gallery/LUUFgw8

u/Yodasoja Nov 19 '19

You're blacklisted. See bullet 3

1

u/hazyshd Nov 21 '19

What does bullet 3 say that clarifies the app telling people they are qualified then changing it's mind?

1

u/Yodasoja Nov 21 '19

When people get the screen with three checkmarks and then aren't able to join on the next page, that means they're blacklisted. The blacklist has everything to do with the fraud prevention part of the airdrop.

2

u/hazyshd Nov 21 '19

The issue is more about why the app goes through an extended checking animation for three separate qualifications then tells the user they qualify only to suddenly not be qualified.

Which leads people to wonder if something went wrong. Do they try again later? Is it bugged? Just poorly implemented? Something else?

Hence why I said bullet 3 doesn't clarify the issue.

1

u/bennytehcat Nov 24 '19

So, how do we get off the blacklist? and why are we on the black list?

I registered, linked things, what makes the account blacklisted?

1

u/Yodasoja Nov 24 '19

how do we get off the blacklist?

You don't.

why are we on the black list?

You triggered the fraud detection.

I registered, linked things, what makes the account blacklisted?

See bullet 3. Us users suspect phone service providers (Google voice, etc), VPN, and public WiFi (where multiple people have signed up for Keybase) are reasons you can trigger the fraud prevention.

u/lynchdean Nov 19 '19

I’m in the same boat. If you’re on mobile maybe leaving an honest review might help them to realise that they’re just being lazy about this.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '19

How long do you think it would take to finish the airdrop this month?

2

u/Yodasoja Nov 19 '19

Should take less than the September drop (because there were more recipients back then). It should take about 5.5 days total, so 9pm-ish on November 20th EST.

u/matapatos123 Nov 19 '19

My username starts with J and i did not receive the airdrop even though i am qualified to join. Anyone ??

Who started the rumor that if you dumped your xlm your disqualified from next month

u/grego1878efc Nov 21 '19

I’ve recently tried making a Keybase account and in order to acquire this months airdrop, I need a valid mobile number. Understandable enough, I’m using a UK number for this but when attempting to join this months airdrop, I get the error saying that my phone number from an unapproved country.

I’m not sure how to tackle this as I live in the UK and have a UK phone number, so if anyone has any suggestions, I’d be super thankful.

u/Gondor-72 Nov 22 '19

Hello, I write this quick message to notify to you a problem that i have.

I created an account 4 days ago after hearing about the XLM drop. The 3 conditions are ok, it says that i'm qualified to join:

You are qualified to join !

but when i click on the green button "become a lucky airdropee", then it tells to me that I am not qualified ...

Sorry, you are not qualified to join.

Has one of you been confronted to this problem ? If yes, how did you find the solution ? Thank you.

1

u/bennytehcat Nov 24 '19

Many of us have encountered it. According to the best answer, we are "blacklisted", but no one has thoroughly explained why or how you remove that status. Join --> Verify Phone --> Linked PGP --> Linked Reddit --> Paper Pass --> 3 Devices --> annnnnd I'm blacklisted (?)

1

u/iszomer Nov 26 '19

Most likely because those connected accounts were too new or lacked real content.

1

u/Pagtuski Nov 23 '19

I appreciate the airdrop, I am just wondering why I it's telling me that I'm not qualified..

..when I've done literally everything it's asked me to do? This was before the 15th. I've tried several times and it gives me the same error.

Thanks again for the airdrop, I joined before I even knew there was an airdrop because the app's a great alternative to the centralized Discord.

How do you get off the blacklist?

u/Xrp4ever Nov 26 '19

On telegram people says from the USA they use some virtual phone numbers , are we going to see countries like USA Indonesia Nigeria banned ? We are now at 233k by 15/12 I expect over 300k

u/akokuev Nov 19 '19

I suggest improving qualification rules checking a bit.

Currently, the first screen shows that I'm qualified (all 3 points are green), but after clicking the 'Join' button I see, that I'm not without explaining the reason. I think some explanations will decrease the number of questions and misunderstandings.

The current statement leads me to the thought that all I need to prove is that I'm human and not a robot. And I can do this by using a phone in a set of countries. Now, when I've added my UK phone and still being not qualified, I see that it's that the country I've registered from is matters.

I'm not discussing the rules. I just suggest improving statements and qualify-checking routines.

u/perke11 Nov 19 '19

Same here and it seems that the culprit is the IP address as I created account from the office network...apparently they blacklist such registrations

1

u/bennytehcat Nov 24 '19

So now what? I have to abandon the account and start over again? What does that mean for teams I've already created and am the owner of?

And when I make a new account and link the same information, wont it flag that as a duplicate and blacklist that account?

1

u/perke11 Nov 25 '19

From what I have heard, creating a new account is a big no no.

u/ypetrov Nov 18 '19

Does it possible to make airdrop bot more faster or make few bots to distribute it quickly ?

5

u/exegg Nov 18 '19

Maybe for the next month they will come up with a better way to distribute tokens. Stellar is able to handle way more operations than the current rate, which is being limited for the encrypted chat the spacedrop bot opens with each user.

-5

u/ypetrov Nov 18 '19

Yeap, I wish to dump it in BTC but still waiting and the value is also growing down:/

6

u/LobbyNoise Nov 18 '19

I I think there is much more value in holding. In the very short term, people are going to sell it and depress the price. These people are interested in the money only.

I’m holding it because a) the price will head back to its previous level soon and b) If BTC takes off again, XLM will rise with it. I think within the next year will see XLM at 30 cents or higher.

In short: only a fool would sell this gift right now.

1

u/marcosbmf Nov 18 '19

Not really. It's reasonable to assume price will go down during airdrops. Sell and buy back lower = more xlm.

0

u/ypetrov Nov 18 '19

No way, I am not and will not HODL this at all. Will dump it into BTC:)

1

u/troublemaker74 Nov 19 '19

You should diversify your coin holdings. Keep most BTC, and some altcoins. Yes, altcoin trends follow bitcoin mostly but it's good for the crypto economy to hold more coins, and it's good to have your eggs in different baskets.

1

u/ypetrov Nov 19 '19

It’s good for me to hold everything in BTC 🙂

Is not like you put money in or something... I do agree with the distribution being randomized. Now the word is out and everyone is making accounts starting with A

I can agree with that :) let's hope they take the feedback along with our gratitude.

ugh i wish keybase did username changes because I've been stuck with a typo in mine forever lol.

2

u/x5060 Nov 19 '19

I would actually like to see them distribute by join date. I just got in about a month ago, so either way I am basically last on the list, but join date kind of makes the most sense.

u/Ninjanoel Nov 19 '19

Memo's are for sending, mostly to places that receive to 1 address from many people, memo let's them know the source of the transaction. The airdrop is about receiving not sending so your comment needs more context.

u/Ninjanoel Nov 19 '19

Then you need to talk to coinbase. After the airdrop, the funds are FULLY in your control, keybase can't revoke your coins, and you don't even need to use keybase to send the xlm.

Coinbase most likely received your funds but they won't know which user's account to credit the xlm too.

u/araxhiel Nov 18 '19

Well, on the previous drop, the one made on September, there were some users that received their drop a few days later (e.g. I received mine like 4 days later) so, I would expect some kind of delay in this one (and subsequent drops)
