Dear @jesta,
I voted for you as a witness, I have an important question:
for to exchange Steem into another crypto currency we all need an account at a crypto currency exchange. There are 2: Bittrex and Poloniex
Bittrex stopped open new accounts since 15th december, when they start again? Nobody knows.
At Poloniex I tried to sign up a new account yesterday, until today I got no confirmation mail to start the opening procedure!
So what to do? You all have accounts already?
How can new users exchange their steem? That's the big question and I don't understand why Steemit and the big "whales" not offer any support for that problem, they all have their accounts already.... That makes we wonder, really, because that's the main reason why people join Steemit, to earn a little money, but if there is no possibility for exchange steem, all is useless.
Have you any idea?
We aren't in control of those exchanges and what they do. Witnesses also aren't Steem officials/employees in any regard either, so most exchanges don't care about us or want to talk to us. While witnesses do everything within their power to encourage the growth of steem, we don't have the capacity to actually negotiate with these larger exchanges.
You can always use blocktrades.us (which is run by one of the witnesses), which doesn't require account creation.
Thank you very much for your answer @jesta,
on blocktrades.us, can I exchange there steem into bitcoin or lightcoin and send it to bx.in.th?
Best regards
Tom
Yep, as well as a number of other currencies. It works somewhat like shapeshift in that regard.
I don't know how good of a rate it is compared to the pump happening on bittrex right now though.
Thank you very much!!!
