why does everyone keep trying to withdraw coins?

YOU CANNOT WITHDRAW COINS AT THE MOMENT UNTIL THE SERVICE (APPARENTLY) RESUMES ON 20TH JAN. read the info on the site, or this thread!!

you can withdraw fiat (USD) and some people have apparently done this successfully recently. anyone trying to withdraw coins, yes they will disappear from your ledger but should re-appear, that it what happened to me after a few hours.

My xvg is there. I guess one way to withdraw over this reduced service period would be to convert xvg to USD, withdraw the fiat currency (apparently this service will still be up) and then covert back to xvg elsewhere. Although you will lose a little in fees and if anything goes wrong there is no support! I have tried to withdraw my xvg to different wallet addresses over the last week and none have worked, have been getting the same error as everyone else
