Update 5/12/19: Reposting for anybody that missed the deal the first time.
The Offer
- Blockchain Wallet is offering free XLM (Stellar Development Foundation) when you complete your Wallet profile (this includes verifying your identity). According to Maximizing Money you get ~$50 in XLM
The Fine Print
- Offer available until XLM giveaway supply is depleted.
- Limit 1 XLM giveaway per person, unless participating in any bonus activities.
- A person can receive the XLM in only 1 Blockchain Wallet. XLM is provided on a first come first rewarded basis, with priority for those with the oldest, completed (i.e., accounts with a verified email address) Blockchain Wallets.
- Participants must have an eligible account, be willing to verify their identity, and reside in an eligible market or jurisdiction (see list here)
- Availability in United States: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Our Verdict
Once you get the XLM you can convert it to Bitcoin and cash out using your bank account, or transfer the XLM to Coinbase or another wallet and cash out the XLM directly. Coinbase also has a deal where you can get $10 in XLM and another $40 via referrals. Up to you if you feel like verifying your identity for $50.
Hat tip to Maximizing Money
Has this deal expired?
How to transfer from bitcoin cash to bank account?
110% legit! Took maybe two days before the $50 in XLM hit my blockchain wallet. Like Nike, “Just do it”!
I got my notice that my identity was confirmed today – How long does it take for the XLM to show up in your account?
When I logged in just now it only said:
“Thank you for already verifying your identity
Hang tight, your XLM is on its way.”
Still working tonight. Definitely sign up with the Coinbase offer for more XLM, then consolidate at Coinbase if you’re just here for free money. There’s also a similar learning activity to earn $10 of the Brave browser currency. I didn’t learn about using Coinbase Pro to withdraw for free until it was too late but still got out with $67 flat after fees. Not bad!
XLM novice here. Can someone provide a step-by-step overview of how to get the XLM from the Blockchain Wallet to Coinbase to then cash out? Many thanks for the assistance!
In coinbase, go to Accounts, scroll down to XLM Wallet, and click on “Receive”. That will give you your Coinbase Wallet ID and XLM Memo. Use that info when sending the XLM from Blockchain. When entering the XLM Memo on Blockchain, I changed the drop down to ID. To play it safe, you might want to start by sending a small amount. IIRC, there’s either no fee to send or the fee is very small.
When cashing out to a bank account, you can save $$ by going through pro.coinbase.com. Google “avoid coinbase fees”.
This is an excellent deal. Literally a free $50, and received the XLM within a few minutes following verification. Withdrew to Binance and had the XLM in my preferred exchange a minute later.
Did the ID verification, got XLM and converted it to BTC. Can’t transfer it out now. They are saying ‘Unfortunately there was a problem verifying your identity’ when I input address, DOB and SSN. What gives? Any other way to encash this? Maybe the fact that my SSN is work only is a problem who knows.
I have the same issue in getting my SFOX/banking verified. I’ve tried multiple times and it says there’s a problem with my verification, so it’s not just you! I sent the Support team a note so hopefully they can help.
WOW! Same here!! I also sent a note to support today.
I’m having the same issue as you. Sent to the support line but nothing
For those in states where its not available, I was able to sign up with an old, out of state (CA) address but use a picture of my current ID (NY). My account was verified overnight and XLM has posted.
A big thank you! I had thought I’d have to miss out on this. I was able to get it to work as well
Through the blockchain site, i couldn’t get verified for SFOX. I opened an SFOX account directly through them. Anyone know how i can send my bitcoin from blockchain to SFOX? I just want to cash out into $$. Thanks for any ideas.
