Superluminal Presents

How does this work?

Tap that button and you get an account on the Stellar testnet containing 10,000 XLM.

Why does this exist?

While building Superluminal I kept forgetting if the friendbot query param was acount_id, account, or addr (it's addr).

Why are Lumens returned when a test account is deleted?

Now that it's ridiculously easy to get test lumens we don't want friendbot to run out too quickly. Returning your test XLM means you're doing your part to help SDF spend less time on testnet restarts and more time on building great stuff.

Those robots are cool, how does that work?

They are cool! They're supplied by a great service called Robohash, which generates a unique robot image from any piece of data (within reason, I mean there's a finite number of part designs so there has to be a collision at some point.)

They're perfect for giving Stellar account IDs some personality, and an easier way for humans to recognize them.
