I just checked and found that I did receive coins way back then, haven't dealt with cryptocurrency but did some research and this is the process I went through (can't guarantee it's the best/easiest/cheapest, but it worked):

- Recover account using recovery code from Stellar email

- Convert Stellar into Lumens (it will do this automatically when you log in)

- Create account on Binance, and use Stellar site to log into wallet and transfer to Binance

- Trade Lumens for Bitcoin on Binance (took a couple of tries of playing with sell price for them to sell, watch the price coins are trading for to get an idea of a good price point)

- Sign up for LocalBitcoins.com and transfer Bitcoins from Binance to LocalBitcoins wallet

- Find someone willing to buy Bitcoins for a decent price in your country who will pay via your preferred method (NZD into bank account for me)

- Use LocalBitcoins.com to sell to them, it places them into escrow and you release the coins once the money is in your account

Thank you! When I tried to sign up with binance yesterday I couldn’t register. I’ll have to try again later!
