Need to Move Steem From Binance to Steemit?
Today I caught myself in a little situation. I had a small amount of BNB (Binance Coin) and I wanted to trade it for a coin I use more regularly (ahem, ahem.. Steem!). So I did the necessary trade inside of the Binance exchange and received my precious Steem. The next step would be to move my Steem over to my Steemit account where I can make good use of it while I hodl strong. And yes, the hodl is super strong with this one! 😎
I pulled up the withdrawal screen next to Steem and that's when I realized...
What Address Do I Even Send It To!?
There were no instructions inside of Binance. There was just a place to add the amount, your Steem address, and a memo. A memo field for a withdrawal? This looked eerily similar to what we're used to seeing inside of our Steemit accounts. But I still wasn't sure where I would find the alpha-numerical address I needed to make sure that these coins found their way to my Steemit account.
Luckily other Steemit users have run into this before and I found the answer through them. And here it is...
Your Steemit Username is Your Address!
How simple is that? It's funny how we can overcomplicate things sometimes for no reason at all. Just be sure that when you insert your username/address that you leave off the @ symbol. So for the account I sent my coins to, I put in travelpreneur in the address field. Oh, and it will force you to add a memo unless you tick the box next to "No MEMO" so keep that in mind.
And Voilà !
Now your Steem coins will be sent over to your Steemit account where you can utilize them to their fullest potential. And just so you know, the transfer did take a little longer than your typical Steemit.com transfers. Instead of 3 seconds it took a few minutes. But hey, that's still not too shabby!
NOTE: I'm not sure if this works the same on other exchanges but I feel sure that it probably does. I would still double-check (by searching around online) before trying this with an exchange other than Binance.
I hope you found this tutorial helpful. If you have any questions about Steemit, the Steem Blockchain, or any of the Dapps running on the Steem Blockchain, please let me know. I'm glad to help!!
