    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.

    Convert it into ripple

    This is the thing, for those that were lucky enough to have a few hundred, what is the next step? Sit on them and see what happens?

    I have 3,000 Lumens (seemingly worth around €2,200 currently)

    and 375 Ripple - converted from Lumens (seemingly worth around €1,200 currently)

    Do I have a clue what I'm doing? Absolutely jaysus not. Bit of craic though trying to figure it all out...

    Careful with that advice.

    Lumens have quadrupled in the last week. Even ripple haven't done that well.

    I suggest anyone get set up on an exchange so you are ready to quickly shift your Lumens into something more stable if you need to.

    Can anyone advise what exchange they used to convert lumens into either bitcoin or ripple? Appreciate any suggestions!

    Stay away from Changelly folks. Tried to convert some Lumens back in December and still hasn't happened. Going around in circles with their support

    If you're looking to sell, buy more or exchange your crypto then I have done up a simple guide for anyone new to this sort of thing:

    How to setup required accounts and get trading in crypto

    *This guide is for Ripple but the fundamentals are the same

    Just found a mail in spam from November which offered 2500 lumens to do something taking seconds, offer expired now. Ah well.

    Same as that. Wasn't for that much but was something similar.

    It's kind of like meeting your ex who's turned into a knockout since you broke up.

    Something about sandwiches


    These went up but took a slight dip. Ive around 1500 that are worth almost a grand at current prices.
    I was planning on selling them for Ripple the other day but couldn't get verified on CoinBase. Just as well now...

    Stay clear of coinbase. Fees alone will kill you.
    Binance is a pretty good exchange.

    But can you buy direct on Binance with euros?
    I thought you could just trade existing coins you have, so you would need to buy some BTC or ETH on coinbase and then transfer it to Binance to allow you to trade on it.
    There may be alternatives to coinbase but I thought it was one of the easiest ways to go from euro to crypto

    I was looking into Stellar original view which showed 600 lumens

    After upgrading I didnt know my security key and thought all was lost.

    Low and behold I have found my security key so can now view in Stellar account viewer.

    clueless about this stuff to be honest.
    I have 750 xlm and want to sign up to an exchange just in case I want to shift them in a hurry.
    The few suggested on here are not taking new registrations at the moment.
    I tried Kraken but it doesnt seem straightforward?

    Can I simply sell them and then withdraw to bank account once setup?
    if so, which is the best exchange to use?
    Thanks, hopefully my questions make sense as this is all new to me..
