I haven't gone so far as to withdraw money to my bank account yet.
But I have managed to get SBD from Steemit to Poloniex and into my Jaxx wallet.
I don't think i did any special validation, just signed up for an account.
But it seems that they are not accepting SBD at the moment, and Bittrex are not accepting new accounts at the moment, so I'm looking elsewhere to exchange money.
I signed up to hitBTC to see if I can get that working. i haven't changed any money yet, but it looks like it might work.
If I get the chance to do an exchange today, I'll let you know how I get on.
Thank you Trevor. Yes I've transferred SBD from Steemit to Bittrex.I got it across before the current ban. I wanted to change some to Ethereum and send to Coinbase, because for UK customers to buy a programme I want, it can only be paid for in ETH and from Coinbase. Sufferin Suckercats!
That's really annoying.
i hope you get it sorted soon ;-)
