How to join the drop:

1) install Keybase: https://keybase.io/download

2) add your device

3) in the app, go to devices (second to last item in the nav) and add two paper keys

4) click on your avatar (top of nav) and select "View profile"

5) click "Prove your [GitHub, Hackernews]" and follow the steps (HN might take a while to update, took about 2 mins for me)

6) now you should be able to join the drop

(edit: I just had to restart Keybase app.)

If I see four checkmarks and "Register inside the Keybase app" what am I missing? Do I just need to make sure I have a stellar wallet, or is there something else?

I'm using the Keybase app for MacOS and don't see any indication that I have joined the drop, or prompts which mention it.

The "register" call-to-action button just sends you to https://keybase.io/download which has a link at the top, " News: the Keybase Stellar Space Drop " that sends you right back to the same page as referenced in the post.

Hi. Does anyone know how I can join the xlm airdrop? I dont have a keybase account or a github or hacker news account. I created an account for keybase today but they say I am too late and need to connect an account which was registered before the 9th September? Any help please. Thanks.

To avoid bots they don't seem to be allowing new github or hacker news accounts. So it looks like you are out of luck if you didn't already have those accounts.

for HN, they also require at least 2 karma. a little annoying because i only use my account for lurking and only have 1 karma.

Mee too :-)

[Hayashi151]

you should be good to go now. will probably take 25+ min to update.

[sliken]

Enjoy.

[Hayashi151]

thank you kind hacker! however, it looks like HN is either slow to update or there is some other limiter/throttle involved to prevent karma abuse since im still at 1 karma. will check back later.

EDIT I: looks like it took awhile to update. maybe 25+ min. thank you again!

EDIT II: to the person who just downvoted me. thank you. now im back at 1 karma and unable to qualify for the airdrop. not sure why that was necessary.

EDIT III: thank you to all the hackers who took pity on me. finally got over the 2 karma requirement for the airdrop. thank you so much guys.

Karma will take care of itself.
