Thanks for the keen eye. I have tagged and supported flags against both accounts. The person behind the scam sites is a perfect example of someone with sheer stupidity by trying to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

I never had any direct interaction with him but always got to read his views whenever I would check the Politics and Society board. He seemed someone principled and always stuck to what he believed in.

It's a very sad thing to lose one of those old era members. They are sort of an inspiration to us who joined in a few years ago. It also gives a picture that behind the profile and forum code, there is a human being there with some different life challenges. Every time they log in, it's a sign that they still have a breath of life.

May he Rest in Peace.

The recovery of stolen accounts is actually a much quicker process now thanks to a new team that was introduced to handle such issues. All you need to do follow instructions in the link shared by @mole0815

I was also in the same boat as you and I didn't even have a staked BTC address, Here's what I did. You could find some information that could guide you when you write to the recoveries team. Just make sure you share with them any evidence that can help point to you being the original owner of the account

Good luck 

I have never purchased any of their plans.

I instead use alternatives like https://coinalyze.net that can give me pretty much the same features Tradingview would only unlock after purchasing their premium plan. For example, I can add so many indicators at ago, set as many alerts as possible, something you can not do on trading view's free version.

Are you talking about a fresh sms US number you can use to verify your account while signing up, or you want to number you will keep using to verify when logging in the future? 4
If it's the former, you can use smspva but make sure you unlink the number from your account after successful registration.

Yeah Gwei is the unit of Ether. Just like satoshi or mBTC is to bitcoin. So it's a measure of gas fees you are supposed to pay for your transaction to be confirmed.
Right now Ethereum's fees are on a high so if you want your transaction to be confirmed quicker use this site to determine the optimal fees: https://ethgasstation.info/

130 Gwei (0.00273 ETH ~ $5) should be ok right now. 1 Gwei could take a very long time.

Really, You finally remembered your password? That's very awesome if you did  

Have you tried to check the address through a block explorer like etherscan.io to see if indeed that's the address that has Ether?
Please check and confirm if there's 0.5 ETH in it.

Edit:
Wait a minute, is it ETH or ETC (Ethereum Classic)? Your original post talks of ETC which have just realized right now.

I would like you to confirm

When you open the file using a text viewer or editor, Does it look like this; Please note that this is just an example of a text string of an encrypted private key in the Keystore file


If yes, then all you need to remember now is your password.

You have always been warned never to use exchanges as long term storage wallets for your digital assets or else you could lose your funds due to various reason such as your right now.
The only people in position to help you right now are the Binance.com team, Try and be patient and see if they will eventually reply your open tickets.

Binance.com is where the problem is, they are the one OP has an account with not Binance US, so I doubt the US wing will help solve OP's problem

Once an account has been flagged and blocked, Any IP address won't work.

Welcome to the forum,

Did you write down the mnemonic phrase, back up the private key of the address or save the encrypted json file anywhere in your device?
If you did not, then you are out of lucky. There is no way you will be able to access the Ether

By Market Capacity, you mean Market capitalization, right?
I think https://coinmarketcap.com has what you might need. You can use the filter button to get the volume or market cap ranges you want and the arrows to show increase in ascending or descending order

- The problem is volume reported is only 24 hours not 7 days
- Marketcap is proportional to price of the asset (market cap = Price of the asset x Circulating supply) so you won't see rankings such as percentage market cap increase or decrease.

Middle man of what? Another transaction deal?

Come on, you have already been scammed through telegram, and you still want to make deals through the same place? I am sure a scammer who's watching this thread is already creating another telegram account and looking forward to PM for the deal.

It's because the Bitcoin Network fees are actually high right now. For a high priority transaction, the recommended fee rate is at least 113 sats/vbyte.
If you use this tool, you will notice that the $16.50 is within range

In fact, I think either coinbase did you a favor by partially paying your transaction fees (they have been doing it in the past) or you were going to send out a low priority transaction with low fee rate which would take ages to get confirmed

I remember some friend of mine who called Bitcoin a bubble. In fact, she even posted about it on Facebook in 2018 as the mighty crash started. How I wish I had made a screenshot of the post. I wonder how she feels right now given that BTC is over $55K
I am still waiting for the most opportune time to rub it in her face 

What a wall of text  

OP I am not discouraging you from making posts or articles, but please try to format and punctuate your post in away that can make the reader want to read through it over and over again. When I looked at your text, I felt like I didn't want to read anything out of it.
- No paragraphs
- No punctuations

It all just looks like a forest of meaningless text, yet you may be trying to drive a point home 

It's not only you, the exchange seems to be experiencing some overload or other unexplained technical difficulties, and they just decided to disable withdrawal like it always happens with other exchanges especially during price pumps.
Here's another user with a similar complaint - Binance has temporarily suspended withdrawals of ETH and Ethereum-based tokens

I would feel guilty if I advised you to buy Bitcoins right now especially if you are planning to hold them. It would look like so sort of FOMO (fear of missing out) and this can be catastrophic at times especially if you ended up buying shortly before the price starts dumping

So the best piece of advice I can give is that wait for an opportunity and buy the dip and make much more gains with less risk. Opportunity is always there with Bitcoin so don't let FOMO set you up into a trap.

Ever heard of what we call stable coins like USDT, USDC? Why not accept them instead.

Bitcoin was never meant to be a stable coin FYI.

It's funny how people focus only on dumps. Imagine a merchant who was accepting Bitcoin all the way from the time it was less than 4,000 USD last year to this date when it's $52K

Stablecoin Stablecoins Stablecoins.

We have plenty of them.

Even if Binance was brought down. I don't think It would affect bitcoin in the long run. I mean, we now have several good crypto exchanges that are just waiting to take over from Binance. If Bitcoin's success was reliant on the biggest exchanges at  the time operating smoothly, then it would have died when Mt. Gox, the biggest exchange at the time got hacked and shutdown, but guess what? We are $52K today.

They now do have an option where one can set custom fees under the custom option for advanced users, but I would still never use a wallet that still requires an email address to sign up and sign in.
