I LOVE YOU BITTREX
Regular Readers of my Blog may recall a few weeks ago I had a nightmare when I accidentally transferred 500 STEEM from my STEEM Wallet to my BITTREX Wallet and instead of putting my STEEM wallet address in I accidentally put in my BITCOIN address.
Some will recall it left me feeling utterly sick and at the time I shared with you, especially New Users, the importance of ensuring that you make sure the correct deposit/withdrawal addresses are used.
Well this morning I woke up like a child on Christmas morning to a message from Bittrex saying that they have recovered the coins and are now safely in my wallet.
There are, and I am ever so grateful.
I cannot stress enough to any New Users of Crypto Currency the IMPORTANCE of checking, double checking and double-double checking that you have put in the correct address.
As the world of Crypto Currency continues its explosive growth that has been witnessed over the last 3 months, more and more Users will open accounts not really understanding the importance of these addresses, assuming that if they make a mistake they simply can pick up the phone and speak to someone and hey presto the coins are magically returned in a few minutes.
As the market for Crypto Currency grows this will put a large burden on the likes of Bittrex to tackle problems like this and it is this therefore that I fully appreciate the support Bittrex has given in helping me out.
LESSON LEARNT FOR NEW USERS
Is there a lesson that I have learnt with this?
ABSOLUTELY there is..!!
"Don't try and do a million of things at once when you are moving Crypto Currency around and always, double-double, double-double, double-double check the correct address..!!"
Thanks again for reading.
