While temiri is right, I'd like to continue the discussion that you've started by mentioning that their last airdrop, done in collaboration with blockchain.com, was also a fiasco. A lot of people didn't even bother claiming anymore, and many of those who tried (including me and a buddy that lives in the same building), weren't able to claim because the process was littered with bugs. Hopefully, a serious non-profit foundation will take over (fork) the open source Stellar tech, create a good and fair initial distribution mechanism, and then restart the cryptocurrency. It would probably need the help of governments or big corporations like Facebook/Google in order to insure a fair initial distribution.

I encountered one of those bugs and was able to get 'my' coins after maybe 3 back and forths with a human support person. It wasn't too hard for what could be a free $500.
