How to fund a new empty address?

Torkus

I just generated an address with StellarSDK and sent some lumens to it but it fails with a bad transaction error, then sent some more to an existing account with lumens and it works fine so how do we fund new accounts with zero balance? How do we send money to new accounts? Any special settings?

Torkus You need to use the createAccount function: https://galactictalk.org/d/45-creating-a-new-account/6
