So I did read that line. I understood that you need to make it interact with Facebook in order to get 1000 STR back after donating it to MIRI. What I didn't understand was that you also need to make it interact with Facebook in order to get the free 6000 STR that you get for signing up -- as claimed on MIRI's Facebook page.

What confuses me is that cryptocurrencies are supposed to support anonymity. Facebook is the anti-thesis of anonymity.

Requiring Facebook is a good way for them to stop people from creating numerous fake accounts to get the free 6000 units on each account.

It doesn't get you your time back, but that is my fault and I do apologise. I have edited the post to try to make this clear. If you take a look and find my explanation still lacking, feel free to let me know.
