Bittrex updated their exchange at the end of February, this year. There’s a couple of new words on the withdrawal page that confused me, it no longer says Memo or Account - The new withdrawal page looks like this:
How To Withdraw Steem from the updated Bittrex.com exchange to your Steemit Wallet
The last time I did a withdrawal from Bittrex, the page looked like this:
The old version said “Memo” and “Registered Acct.” Simple - Copy and paste your Memo Key into the Memo line, your steemit-username (without the “@“ symbol) into the Registered Acct line, click withdrawal and depending on whether or not you have 2-factor authentication (2FA), funds were sent. Now, for some reason, it says “Tag” and “Address.” I searched online for some instructions so I wouldn’t make any mistakes but I couldn’t find anything. Which line does the Memo Key go in, the Tag line or the Address line? So for those of you who need help, like I did, or maybe you’re new to Bittrex and/or Steemit, this is the step by step process required to safely withdraw your funds from Bittrex to Steemit:
First you need your Memo Key:
Click on your Icon on the top right corner of your Steemit.com homepage.
Click Wallet.
Click Permissions.
Scroll down to the Key titled “Memo.” Copy that long string of characters. That’s your “Memo Key.”
Now sign into Bittrex:
Email, Password, 2-Factor Authentication. If you do not have 2FA, consider adding it to your account, it’s an added layer of protection. Now you’re signed into your Bittrex.com account.
Click Wallets - Top right section of the screen.
If you don’t see your Steem Wallet on the front page, you can use the search window on the right. Just type in “Steem.”
To the left of your Steem Wallet there’s a Red (withdraw) Arrow and a Green (deposit) Arrow.
Click the Red Arrow.
You’ll be directed to this screen:
At the top of the page, under Withdrawal Amount, it says Quantity - Enter the quantity you want to withdrawal in the box to the right:
Paste your Memo Key (that long string of characters you copied from Steemit.com) into the Tag Line. Reading the last 2 characters on the left and the last 2 on the right isn’t a bad idea, ‘something’ to assure yourself you’re sending to the proper location. Don’t just trust the paste button.
Type the steemit-username associated with the Memo Key, without the “@“ symbol, into the Address line as illustrated:
Verify everything you’ve typed, copied or pasted is accurate. Click Withdraw STEEM and if you have 2-factor authentication, a new page will open requesting you to input the number. Type it in and click Withdraw.
That’s it! You can go back to your Steemit.com account now and click your icon again on the top right. Click Wallet. Scroll down to History and you’ll see your deposit. Withdrawal complete, you just initiated and completed your transaction safely.
