Special thanks to my friend @alebvieira for the tip.

Bitcoin owners can claim FREE XLS (Lumen-Stellar) tokens !

The Stellar company is literally giving away tokens for whoever was holding BTC on the first mined block with a timestamp on June 26th (UTC/GMT).

This is a continuation of the process which started in 2016, distributing tokens that were reserved at the time of the ICO.

According to cointelegraph the communication officer has stated:

Bitcoin acted as a profound inspiration for Stellar, which is why we created this program at our launch. 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.

And the company published a circular with details detailing the process to claim the tokens.

There is a list of compatible wallets and exchanges that your bitcoins had to be held at on the snapshot date.

Wallets:

• Bitcoind
• Bitcoin-qt
• Electrum
• Mycelium
• Trezor
• Nano

Exchanges:

• Kraken
• BTC38
• Poloniex – Confirming participation
• Deribit
• Yuanbao
• NaoBTC
• Bit-Z
• Bittrex

Good news is that they stated on the circular:

If your bitcoins are located on any of the above exchanges there is no action for you to take. They will handle the process of automatically crediting your account with the appropriate amount of lumens.

This token is already covered by the vast majority of our recommended portfolio tracker softwares

Free money always suits me just fine, go get yours too !
