Lucky you. I deposited a bunch on ethers in 2017/18 and wasn’t being able to withdraw anything since. They claim my passport isn’t enough, so I couldn’t withdraw the same money I deposited to the same address. After several weeks of attempts I gave up and call it a loss. So, saying it out loud: Binance had scammed me. Happy to jump of public debate about it on Twitter(same nickname).

  Well, this is a problem. As a little man who shared a personal story - there’s no way people on internet can believe me over all mighty Binance. But this is my story, Binance took my deposit and never gave it back. Although I have no influence whatsoever, there are still a few hundred people from the blockchain industry whom I met over a years on hackathons and conferences. Perhaps we might have friends/contacts in common https://twitter.com/lebed2045 https://twitter.com/lebed2045? via whom happy share all details. What’s my motivation to lie? when if this story even get attention (that is unlikely) - binance would always able to disprove it by sending tx proofs that they sent money back or never took in the first place?

This is bizarre. There was a reply to this comment from of person who claimed there’s something wrong with me, and when I reply to it with my contacts. Now I don’t see any of this comments. So if the parent comment is deleted- so all replies to it as well?

  Turn on Show-dead in your account profile. The community will collectively mod nuke comments that are blatant violations of the site guidelines. Those without show-dead on will no longer see it. You can view even dead posts by turning on show-dead. It also gives you aore accurate view of what Dang has to deal with on a regular basis. As far as I'm aware, you can't delete a replied to post.

The small fraction of a BTC and ETH I mined about a decade ago mostly as a GPU benchmark are on coinbase at the moment. Currently worth about $1000 they've oscillated wildly and I am both resigned to them going to zero and slightly tempted to leave them there for the full ride (and to avoid tax liabilities)
