Hi @beeyou
That's very kind of you :)
Can I ask how you buy STEEM? (We should then be able to work out how to do the opposite if you ever need to)
An option to view the live prices are here: https://www.worldcoinindex.com
And at the MSP Disord in the 'playing with bots' room:
I buy one of the cryptos using coinbase, then use that to buy steem either directly with Steemit or using binance.
Thanks for the numbers @abh12345. Now, if @davemccoy can give me the final figure, I’d be happy to help if we go my route. Lol, I really do hate doing the math!
Edit, I know I can sell it back with coinbase (they have all my info anyways) just never learned how!
a couple of us have just sent SBD directly to dave, so it can be collected up and then one user can send all
I plan on doing that too once I’m home and on my laptop. That’s very kind of everyone @jan23com. We are a community and it’s the chance for us to all help out if we can help. Even giving an upvote is a thoughtful gesture and well received!
Ahh ok :D
The route would be STEEM to binance - STEEM to LiteCoin - Litecoin to Coinbase - Sell Litecoin to USD Wallet - Withdraw.
Depending on binance exchange prices, I believe this is the cheapest method.
(Coinbase do like to take an annoying sum and so if there is a registration of card details on binance this could save a few steps and be cheaper)
At current prices, 50 SBD is $160.61032 (50 x $3.2122064)
Gotcha! Yes, I can do that @abh12345 but it would mean going through coinbase for me with the withdrawal. That means converting SBD to STEEM internally first?
I don’t have my info on binance...I know I should trust them but it’s an international company so I’m reluctant to give my info and bank info.
As for coinbase, they forced my hand to adding my info. I signed up when it wasn’t a requirement to give out all my info for buying. A month or so back, I tried logging on to see what I had in there and they wouldn’t even let me log on without giving them everything. That’s fine since I have nothing to hide but I drew the line when the employer field was also required. So I told them personal and that bypassed the hard stop. Giving up personal info for transparency is one thing, but you really don’t need to know where I work to give me access to my funds!
This depends if Binance have both, or just STEEM on the exchange. I don't have an account there and do seem to remember reading it's just STEEM at present. And so yes, you would need to exchange on the internal market here, first.
Damn Coinbase, I reluctantly use them too. At least it's been plain sailing for me so far - no issues.
Let’s cross our fingers it stays that way. They might want the name and rights to our first born one day! 😂
Yes, I think Binance has STEEM only. That was recently added too. Internal it is if Dave wants to go my route!
you can go steem- ------> use block trades (if it is price appropriate) to convert steem to lite coin or such and it will convert and send at the same time --------> coinbase-------------> bank account.
easy peasy and takes about 5 minutes. block trades may cost more than binance I don't know for sure. In my opinion it would be best to send it to their coinbase account wallet because they are in mexico. If any of us in the states take it into our coinbase account we will have to report it as income on our income taxes. If we don't uncle Sam is gonna come kick your door in wanting his money. Just my 2 cents. take it as you will
Edit: also if you use blocktrades you do not have to set up an account.
lol... on the math... you are always so funny when your mind starts to wander on that! :P
You know me, why waste brain cells when I have super smart people to do it for me? 😉
lol... well I guess its good you don't waste brain cells on math, you use them in other ways so nicely! No wonder you are so amazing at so many other things!
PS... I might need to take you up on your offer of converting some if the donations keep coming in. I was prepared for $150 (or 50 sbds) but its coming in better than that. We will check with Brian and see what works best for him.
Of course, let me know. Will be happy to help and take screen shots of every transaction to show transparency.
It is still coming in... I will wait til tomorrow mid day and then do the count... I have already sent them $150 so the urgency of the meds for tomorrow is taken care of... Then we can see what you can do and then also involve pennsif too... Thank you again @beeyou for being so wonderful and always there when it counts for people :)
Sounds good Dave. I’ve spent more time on Steemit today than my last couple days! I am kaput with engaging tonight.
