Gate.io have active complaints on reddit, and I did not find a complaint that talked about problems with withdrawal. https://www.reddit.com/r/GateioExchange/ However, Gate.io may restrict or block access to its services in some countries, so always be sure to check your country in the special list https://www.gate.io/user-agreement

wasn't Bytecoin have network problems

I remember people complaining about the official wallet being broken because they are not receiving any BCN and also no transactions are being registered.

I don't know if this has been fixed but I kinda remember that the devs wasn't capable of fixing it and just abandoned the project.

Does this mean your bad experience means nothing, and isn't enough to stop you from using either exchange?

Actually you can use some censorship of sensitive parts if you want to keep it private. However, there are many users out there who don't hesitate to make a fuss on social media if they have a bad experience, unless (sorry) is your actual experience that you are abusing the service and you are worried about being identified?

For those people who have not yet understood, I explain:
NOBODY can sell their cheap BYTECOINs on Gate.io for 10x more. Only Gate.io can do that.
Even if you buy on Gate.io, it is impossible to withdraw them. Most likely, the exchange is simply deceiving people by selling them air.

Monero - You can't go wrong with. King of Privacy and will be for a while.
Verge - Meh, don't trust the developers and they barely just released stealth. I only ever see people investing in Verge to try and make money, not use it for privacy.
DeepOnion - all hype/marketing, no tech. I feel like the only reason they have such a large community was because of the airdrop program. Concerning when it ends.

Another coin to check out would be Spectrecoin (XSPEC). Its got Tor, OBFS4 so it works in Tor blocked places like China & Iran, ring signatures, fast speeds, and its a Proof of Stake coin so you get a 5% yearly return on your coins if you're staking them. The 2.0 release for XSPEC is going to make stealth addresses default (right now they're optional) and introduce Stealth Staking. People don't think Stealth Staking is possible, so it could be a good investment if you get in before its implemented in Q2 2018. Feel free to join the slack and talk to the developers and do your own research.

So basically, I'd go with Monero if you're looking for something that works well RIGHT NOW. Should definitely look into XSPEC though. 

Have you checked out Particl?

Been using there Marketplace and they have a great escrow system making sure people work honestly together. 

Let me know if you have checked them out.

Really try to see the creation date of yours .dat file and select the current version of Doge.core at that time, maybe it will work if you haven't messed up with the wallet file.  https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases

.....I was looking for a node launch service, only one found, this one https://www.allnodes.com
Can pay anonymously with cryptocurrency, $2.5 per month and the initial setup costs the same.

Bytecoin this is a scam!

Don't buy!
