For those of you not on Keybase yet, here&#x27;s the most important piece of information in the post:<p><i>&quot;To qualify: you must have a Keybase account registered before this announcement OR if you&#x27;re new to Keybase, you must connect your Keybase account to a GitHub or HackerNews account that was registered before this announcement. This is to prevent bot signups to Keybase.&quot;</i>

I&#x27;m not sure it&#x27;s a great idea to place a $20 bounty on breaking into anyone&#x27;s Keybase, GitHub, or Hacker News account? And this bounty will go up every month, until something breaks?<p>The weak link here seems to be Hacker News since it&#x27;s protected only by a password.

Can someone explain why this is particularly interesting?<p>Seems like every other coin&#x2F;product giveaway to seed users on a platform, but I&#x27;m not super familiar with the Stellar network.

Does this create tax implications for all HN users?

I have a Keybase account with a wallet. I haven&#x27;t actually used the wallet for anything, but it does exist. And I didn&#x27;t receive any lumens.<p>If this surprise gift was for &quot;each active Keybase user&quot;, how do they define &quot;active Keybase user&quot;?<p>Edit: Also, the desktop app didn&#x27;t show anything about joining the monthly airdrop. I had to fire up the mobile app to see it.<p>Edit 2: After fully quitting the desktop app (including status item) and relaunching, the Wallet section finally shows an &quot;Airdrop&quot; entry. I shouldn&#x27;t have to fully quit out of Keybase for this to work though.
