Title: Total newb - how the heck do I get my BTC? Post by: rainyn on May 06, 2013, 08:20:59 PM Hello, I've managed to accumulate several bitcoins and have been reading and reading to try and understand how to get them from my account at BTC Guild to my Bitcoin wallet. I must have done something wrong because when I request a payout from my account it says "Send My Balance To <address>" as you can see in the following image

It doesn't give me a chance to enter a different address - when I click on change wallet address I get an error message "Wallet address entered was already assigned to your account."

How am I supposed to change the address in my account's settings when it won't let me? The minute I click that change button, the error message appears. ???
Title: Re: Total newb - how the heck do I get my BTC? Post by: rainyn on May 07, 2013, 07:19:32 PM nevermind. I didn't realize the field to the left of the change button was editable. I pasted the address in my wallet into that field and clicked change and it worked fine D'oh! (where's the facepalm smiley?)

But closing your API key was definitely good idea! Title: Re: Total newb - how the heck do I get my BTC?
