We’re Giving Away 3 Billion Lumens to Bitcoin Holders
Jed McCaleb, April 26, 2016
Bitcoin holders, claim your lumens until October 5, 2016.

When we were designing Stellar, Bitcoin acted as a profound inspiration. The Bitcoin network was the first to show that it’s possible for a group of untrusted parties to agree on a common database, and the Bitcoin community still influences our understanding of this technology’s impact.

With all that in mind, Stellar.org has reserved 19% of the initial lumens—a total of 19 billion lumens—for people who hold bitcoin. On July 5th we’ll make available these lumens to any bitcoin holder who wants them.



How will it work?

We’ll give away the 19 billion lumens in several rounds. The first round will include 3 billion lumens, and will work like this:

July 4, 2016: We’ll take a snapshot of the blockchain at the first block mined with a timestamp on July 4th (UTC/GMT). This snapshot will record the coin balances of all bitcoin accounts at that time.

July 5, 2016: We’ll publish a claim page, allowing bitcoin holders to verify that they control a given bitcoin address and send that address’s share of lumens to a Stellar account.

To get a sense of the giveaway math, take Rachel as an example:

At time of snapshot
15,692,500 bitcoins in existence
Rachel owns 10 bitcoins

Rachel can claim
3,000,000,000 * (10/15,692,500) = 1,911.72 lumens

Calculation
Rachel owns .0000649% of the bitcoins in existence at the time of the snapshot.
Her 1,911.72 lumens therefore equals .0000649% of lumens given away.

October 5, 2016: The first round of the lumen giveaway to bitcoin holders will conclude / THE END. If there are unclaimed lumens, they’ll go to Stellar.org’s operational fund.

Due to regulatory restrictions, this program is closed to residents of the U.S. states of New York, Georgia, New Hampshire, and Connecticut as well as the nations of Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and other countries subject to sanctions by the United States. These restrictions are subject to change to account for changes in regulatory posture.

Members and board members of Stellar.org will not participate in the bitcoin-lumen program or claim any lumens from it.

Claim lumens: Individuals

On July 5: Visit the claim page (link to come), which will walk you through the simple process.
If you have an account on an exchange, check with your exchange to see if they’re planning to participate and how to claim lumens through them.

Participating exchanges (we’ll update this list as exchanges contact us):

• Kraken
  
  
• BTC38
  
  
• Poloniex
  

Now for the part we’re less excited about.

If you’re not using an exchange, then law requires us to ensure you’re not on the U.S. sanctions list or located in any of the restricted jurisdictions listed above. We’re using Facebook account verification to complete this check.

We know this kind of sucks. Privacy is a top concern for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Stellar.org won’t use your Facebook data for any other purposes and will never post to your account. If you’d rather not share your Facebook information, you can still go through a participating exchange.

Sign up for updates on the bitcoin-lumen program.

Claim lumens: Exchanges and businesses

Before July 5: If you’re an exchange or other business that holds a pool of bitcoins for customers, email [email protected] from your business email. Include your hot wallet Bitcoin address, and we’ll ensure that the lumens given to that address are sent only to you.

After you receive lumens, we encourage you to give them to each of your customers proportionately. Email [email protected] with questions or to discuss options.

How does Stellar compare to Bitcoin and other networks?

The Stellar network is inspired by Bitcoin—we’ve taken lessons from it and added the ability to tolerate non-rational actors in an environment with low computing power.

There are a few other key differences between Stellar and Bitcoin:

• In Bitcoin, nodes that work to confirm transactions mine bitcoin, distributing the currency slowly over time to miners. Stellar doesn’t have mining: 100 billion lumens were automatically created at the start of the network. 95% of these lumens will be available to the world.
  
  
• Stellar operates on a new consensus algorithm, the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), which uses federated Byzantine agreement. Stellar transactions confirm in a few seconds and nodes use fewer computational resources.
  
  
• Bitcoin is non-inflationary, while the supply of lumens increases at a fixed rate of 1% per year.
  

When will the second giveaway round take place?

The date and amount of the next giveaway round will depend on what we learn from this initial round. To be the first to know when we announce the next round, sign up for updates on the bitcoin-lumen program.

This is HOW to claim FREE STELLAR/LUMENS

with different kinds of bitcoin wallet client
basicly, all you need to do is just Sign the Stellar message on your Bitcoin wallet, to proof that you actually have that account

so i will share how to  "sign a message", from different client

This is a way to prove you do possess a particular walet. 
You can sign any message using your private key, creating an encrypted string - a signature. You then send the original message along with the signature (please make clear what is and what isn't a part of the message, and be aware that every character, including spaces, tabs and line breaks, is a part of the message).
We can then verify whether the signature was created using the private key you claim to own.
The message to be signed should express your request.

You can do this using one of the modern wallet softwares. You can take a look at our tutorials for MultiBit or Bitcoin-Qt
Before sending us your signed message please try if you are able to verify it. For example here: https://brainwallet.github.io/#verify

MultiBit

Start by choosing a wallet and copying its address to clipboard. 

---

Then choose the menu option 'Tools | [img=16x0]https://multibit.org/images/en/v0_5/messageSign.png[/img] Sign Message'.

---

Enter the address and the message into the appropriate fields and press  [img=16x0]https://multibit.org/images/en/v0_5/messageSign.png[/img] Sign Message.

[lidya.fransisca]

Bitcoin-Qt

this is i found :


how to solve this? 

its because stellar check if our blockchain is old or new,
they makesure we cannot double claim
as if, we claim 1x, and move our bitcoin to other account and the do the double claim

i think you had to wait for second giveaway, it will be bigger,
we have to prepare our bitcoin account from now

[kurniawanism]

So the snapshot of the claim based on July 4?
Not based on to date?
