How to get trust when I have no lumens etc

peter_qld

I'm a newbie. Very newbie! Treat me like a 5 yr old please in any responses. OK - I want to buy some Mobi at the Public ico and am told I have to use the Stellar Disintegrated Network. Nowhere can I find instructions on how to do this. So, just in case, I have downloaded the Stellar desktop wallet and installed. But I cannot get trust for the ico until I have 20 lumens in my account and I cannot work out how to get lumens. Any simple step by step explanations please. Or don't I need the Wallet? If not, how do I setup a Stellar account just to buy Mobi in 2 days?

peter_qld Everything Umbrel said is right, but just FYI for MOBI they will take care of creating a wallet for you once their public sale is live.

to buy Mobi you will need some Lumens on your balance.
buy XLM (or STR on poloniex) and send them to your wallet, it will automatically create your account as well.

Now after that you will have to set trust to MOBI issuer and buy as much as you want (but you'll need to leave 31 XLM on your balance to keep wallet active)

And I totally liked Stellar Disintegrated Network, I'm gonna call it that now. P.S. It's was Stellar Decentralized Exchange

Many thanks guys .. much appreciated. So as I am registered/whitelisted for the public sale, there is nothing really for me to do except wait. When Mobi public goes live, hopefully I will be quick enough to get some Mobi and when I pay for them, Mobi will create a Decentralised/Disintegrated wallet for me!
BTW ... that Disintegrated was my error - call it a typo! Ha Ha!! Hope you enjoyed the unintended pun!
