EDIT: This actually doesn't work, but I thought I was being clever.

For those mentioning needing Facebook accounts. It looks like you don't need a Facebook account to game the reward system.

Assume a person has a main account (user1) with at least 1050 STR.

1. Create a New Account (user2)

2. Transfer 1050 STR from user1 -> user2

3. Transfer 1000 STR from user2 -> user1

4. Stellarfoundation makes 1000 STR deposit into user2

5. Send newly acquired 1000 STR from user2 -> user1

Starting balance: 1050 STR

Ending balance: 2000 STR




No, that doesn't actually work (just double checked to make sure). Would be a clever hole though :).


As soon as I signed up, I was thinking of this hole. So why doesn't it work? Is it that you are not permitted to transfer back the money?


Nah, just that the stellarfoundation bot checks that you're Facebook-authed before sending over your 1,000 stellar bonus.


You're right, I should have tried it first but didn't want to actually game the system.
