How to claim lumens?

We’re giving away 3 billion lumens to bitcoin holders

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.
