Currently, I do not have a way to withdraw that 50 dollars. I thought of withdrawing it via internal exchange. I do not know if it will succeed, but if there is someone who has a verified account, please PM me with his sub-account and I will try to send it to him.

Sent you a pm.


If the account was inactive for a long time and then logging occurred from a different browser and from a different IP, then the exchange often blocks such accounts when sudden financial activity occurs on them. I wrote about this in my notes on using centralized exchanges:

3. Logging

Here, too, there are some nuances, especially for those accounts that have not passed KYC. I would not recommend constantly logging into your account from different browsers and from different IPs, especially if you are sitting with a VPN (especially free ones, it is better to refuse them altogether if possible). Users who like to constantly log into their account from different devices and IPs, without knowing it, provoke the exchange to block funds and request KYC.

If KYC is passed, then the exchange usually requires additional confirmation by mail that this IP is correct and that you are logging in, in exceptional cases they can block the withdrawal of funds for 24-48 hours. If KYC is not passed, you are at risk. I recommend using the account from one browser and from one IP, preferably the one from which you registered. If you do not want to access the network from your IP, then you can use the anti-defect browser+proxy bundle. For example, I use an anti-detect browser on which I have an individual proxy running and I always access exchanges from this device, thereby not provoking the exchange to various additional checks, especially if I need to withdraw funds after entering the exchange.

If you try to enter the exchange from a new IP and withdraw your entire balance, then there is a very high chance that you may be blocked and forced to undergo KYC. Do not use free VPNs and cheap proxies for those exchanges where you have funds, keep your accounts and privacy much longer. People themselves provoke exchanges to additional checks, and then complain that exchanges suddenly introduce KYC for their account.
