Title: How do i transfer my ETH in Blockchain Wallet across to my Bitstamp account?
Post by: thepinkpanther1975 on February 18, 2018, 07:15:58 PM
Hi,

I'm a newbie and am trying to transfer my ethereum from my online Blockchain Wallet to my Bitstamp account. I need to cash it out for USD.

In Bitstamp I select Deposit, click Ethereum and then a box called "Send Your ETH To This Address" is shown on the screen with an address in it. I copy the address, open my Blockchain Wallet, select Send, select Ethereum and then paste the Bitstamp address into the box. As soon as its copied I get the following message "Sending to contract addresses is disabled"

So first of all what does this mean, and second what address do I need to put in this address bar to allow me to send Ethereum to my Bitsamp account?

I cant find anything on Google to help me with this and as far as I know Bitstamp is my only option as I do not have any other accounts.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

It's because blockchain.info simply doesn't support the sending of ethereum to contract adresses (due to ( i guess) technical difficulties.). Another reason why you shouldn't use them or any other webwallet.

Export your private keys from blockchain.info into MEW or Mist, and then sent it to Bitstamp.
