Quite high transfer fee tbh. I may look elsewhere for a different wallet provider, any suggestions?
Most exchanges, if not all of them, don't allow their customers to customize the withdrawal fees and charge them a flat fee which is higher than what's actually needed. Besides, you can't withdtaw small amounts since they usually set a minimum withdrawal limit.

If you are not interested in trading your bitcoins or want to exchange them then you should avoid keeping them on exchanges or on web wallets. Better move them a non-custodial wallet which gives you full control over your coins.

Thanks for the pointers mate. Useful knowledge, I'm  kind of just diving in head first and assimilating the tactics contemporaneous.

Cheers

Hey,

Good info lads. Yes I was referring to the withdrawal fee. I had a wee look around at other wallets/exchanges. Good Idea to convert from altcoins to Btc.

Will look into it. I found 'Fixedfloat' 0% fees, but it seems to be an exchange not a wallet.

Cheers.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the kind and informative response.

It's  sorted now. I raised a ticket with CS and they re-credited the account with the missing btc in about 12 hrs.

No real explanation about what happened but the transaction was logged in the history as an outgoing RedPacket function. That Ted packet thing is just a euphemism for giving an OKEx friend a gift of btc. As I screwed up trying to send to an external account instead of withdrawal to it I think I created a live link, but didn't send it, inadvertently.

This logged the transaction as a pending payment and debited my wallet balance. Of course it was never received so just lay in limbo until CS intervened.

Live and learn!

Thanks again sports.

Hi Folks,

I"m brand new to crypto so please bear with me!

I was trying to withdraw my btc to another market place account from OKEx exchange and was incorrectly using the "send" function.

I was trying to move 0.0013 btc. The options that came up were send to a friend with a link or send to someone on OKex.

Think I clicked the link option. I didn"t send the link to anyone though so assumed it was an aborted transfer.

Later I saw that 0.0013btc had gone from my balance and in the history it said "Sent red packet". I can't have sent as know no 9ne on OKEx and didn't input an email address.

What is this, a phrase for a gift to someone? Will that amount bounce back to my balance soon? When do you think?

Customer support say they are looking into it but can't  see its destination.

Totally befuddled 🤔

Cheers.
