Hard Fork - Minor Issue for Me - Does anyone have funds on Binance?

This is a value for value post: see the explanation in the footer.

Update 05:57 UTC Binance have re-opened.

I'm hoping to keep v4v.app running up to and through the Hard Fork 28 next week but I have a minor issue with Binance. Binance have shut down transfers probably until after HF28 next Wednesday.

I cover conversions made in @v4vapp with trades on Binance but they've taken down transfers in and out. Does anyone have a few thousands Hive already on Binance and want to send it to me within Hive's internal system? I will obviously send you Hive direct on Hive.

You Can't Withdraw Either

This is perfect if you do actually want to withdraw funds from Binance (it'll save you the 0.01 transfer fee lol) and help me keep @v4vapp open.

If not

I'll just have to see how far out of balance I get in the mean time. If it does get too big I might have to pause the service.

I'm on 1.28.3 already

My new (old laptop) witness is already on 1.28.3 and running with my Privex as backup. I'll leave that one until the hardfork and then switch it over too. I think I'm going to be running both from now on. Please do send me a Witness vote, I tumbled a bit whilst being too quiet on here.

Waiting for Magi @magi.network

All the while I'm anxiously waiting for Magi when I can say goodbye to Binance and use a Hive/HBD to BTC liquidity pool internally. This can't come soon enough for me.

Value for Value

For the last few months while building @v4vapp I was generously supported by the DHF. Going forward I have a much more modest support which covers direct server costs and a little of my time.

If you appreciate the work I do on and around Hive, you can express this directly: upvoting posts on Hive is great. Also consider a direct donation (there's a Tip button on Hive or a Lightning Address) on all my posts.
