Stellar lumens ring a bell from years ago? They are actually worth something now.

Anybody know where the best place to buy some of these so I can make my first ever investment apart from hoarding old video games

we all got them for free, I'm not sure I'd recommend putting your own money into them over other investment options. Anyway, there's a whole Cryptocurrency forum here:

If anyone is looking to sell some lumens, I would be willing to do a bank transfer with them. I'm on the same boat as most of you in that I got 900 free lumens a few years ago and I'm looking to invest more. PM me if your interested
Just realised how dodgy my username is on this haha. Haven't been active in 5 years on boards!

Yeah my balance is 0 but I never touched them and no secret key so can't upgrade!

I fired off an email to support on it but not holding out much hope.

Anyone else get it sorted out when they had 0?

So if you see the 0 str screen with blank secret key then your lumens are lost? I assumed they were still there and would reappear once you upgrade

Has anyone checked out the waitlist groups on the stellar site? I think I may have been part of group four, which means I should have received 4000 lumens. Maybe something else was required to actually get them, some people are saying they kept upgrading their subscription via emails. I can’t see my account history properly since upgrading to the new site on stellar, so it’s hard to work out!

When do you think your broker will be selling them for $35?

at $20 stellar's market cap would be more than bitcoin was at $20,000

Hi folks

Finally logged in and have 500 odd stellar but am afraid to upgrade in case I "lose" em like some others have. Is there anything I need to do to make sure I don't get my balance set to 0? Or is it the case that it's either just going to happen or it's not?

what's the quickest site to set up on to trade XLM at the moment. Kraken is killing me as it's getting hammered right now.

I was getting that zero balance thing but eventually (after the account upgrade) it finally says that I've 900.999975 lumens in my wallet.

First time I've acted on a BA post where it didn't involve me spending money

Let's not speak too soon, I've ready that some of those crypto-currencies have increased in value by 30,000% last year! (ok that may be wishful thinking on my part :pac:)

Binance trades XLM for Ethereum and Bitcoin.

It is fairly easy to get set up on Binance (I managed it!) and they seem to be coping well with the increased numbers of users lately.

If you want to trade over 2 bitcoins a day, then yes.

Crypto only - no regular currency.

Wow, completely forgot about this. 500 lumens in my account, nice!

Edit:



Hmm. After a forced PC restart by the network, I know now my username and pass but not my secret key - which appears to be imperative and unrecoverable. Wonderful.

How long did it take for your Lumens to show up?

Did you have to do anything?

Yep, and if you factor in how the market seems to be spreading out, it's unlikely it'd hit that level unless this bubble reaches unheard levels of delusion (speaking as someone who has actually paid for these things).

Stellar looks set to rise through January due to some stuff they're rolling out, decent chance it'll level out then as some new thing because the hot property to surge into the top 10 most popular coins.

Converted, all info copied and saved, stellars are now showing as lumens. Happy days! Now to obsess over this for months and pray it does a bitcoin. I might start wearing those blue shirts with a white collar, and suspenders.

So they weren't showing up for me in Chrome where I'd done the upgrade thing so I fired up Firefox, stuck in the secret key & there they were. Had a look at home as well last night & they were still there.

Its a bit shit for the people who lost their Secret Key after upgrading.
