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

    Years ago someone posted about stellar lumens(https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=91584316)

    These coins are now worth a decent bit of money so you're more than likely sitting on at least a few hundred euro if you signed up. The thread was reopened by a mod but looks like it's closed again for some reason.

    It's christmas time and a lot of people are probably struggling, is there any way the mods/admins could send a PM or something to everyone that replied to that thread and let them know to check to see how much money they are sitting on?

    Vast majority will have hundreds of euro, maybe more! :cool: I'd suggest keeping them for a while though if you're one of the lucky ones :)

    I was going to PM everyone on that thread but 1) It's spammy kind of. 2) Have to wait 60 seconds each time :(

    Too funny.

    I had ignored some mails saying to claim your 500 free lumens for trying out their payment mechansim. (Those links are expired now)

    Now looks like the lumens are worth 0.27 USD each.

    I signed up after seeing the original thread then did a few things (can't remember what, maybe transferred some to other Boards users etc) to get a few free ones. I don't think I looked at the account again since about 3 weeks after signing up :pac:

    Got this also, when I emailed them I got an automated FAQ thing back.

    From that:

    What a blast from the past! Turns out I'd over 4,000 lumens in my account. :pac:

    Now I've exchanged a chunk of my Lumens for Ripple Coins which I'd been toying with buying. A free swing at the market! Thanks for the heads-up, Coinsguy.

    By doing a lot of googling.

    I used an exchange called Changelly to “convert” XLMs to XRPs, and send them to a newly created wallet. The transaction is still processing so fingers crossed it’ll work.

    Hopefully I can retire by the time I wake up.

    Hmmm. I can’t login and when I use my recovery id it tells me that account recovery has been disabled for this account.

    Edit: found an FAQ that’s no help at all

    “Between August 3rd and October 31, 2014: Your recovery code may have been corrupted due to a now-resolved bug.”

    Doesn’t tell me how to resolve the problem. How do you contact them? Can’t find anything on the site.

    I've 600 too. We must have done the bare minimum.
    Do we need a wallet?

    I just use this link
