eSfrY Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I hope someone here can help. I've been trying to withdraw BTC from my Gatehub account for a few days and I've contacted Gatehub support, all to no avail. I have an account on Gatehub and my primary wallet specifies I have 49.9608 XRP in it, and 0.0363 BTC in a 'trustline'(?) called SnapSwap. (See the attached jpg.) I want to withdraw all the BTC to an external BTC address. It seems I need to get the BTC out of the SnapSwap trustline and into where? so I can send it out. I've created a contact with my BTC address so I can select that under "Send Payment", but when I specify the amount of BTC it says my account has insufficient funds or the receiver doesn't accept BTC. So how do I get my BTC to a place where I can send it out? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toobhunter Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Gatehub appears to be down again. Its been crashing over last 2 days. they said they fixed it but i guess not @enej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namini Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Snapswap is a defunct gateway, you can still sell the btc but below face value. Are you an old user? So yes you need to sell the btc for xrp I think, check in trade & exchange page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur14 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Initiate the transfer/swap from Changelly or Shapeshift. You will transfer it from the Gatehub wallet to another Bitcoin/Litecoin/XPR/ETH wallet. It will go from Gatehub -> Changelly adx and then on to the 'wallet' address of your choice. I couldn't swap ETH to XRP from Gatehub exchange and did it with Changelly for .65c and made 17% more than I would have from another exchange swap. It literally took 18 minutes to complete. Remember me when you are rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namini Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 He has Snapswap BTC not Gatehub BTC, not sure it's so easy (I can be wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way I can do that once I get the XRP? I want to get everything out of my account and close it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrino Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Set a trust line to gatehub btc. Convert your snapswap btc to xrp and then to gatehub btc (or directly snapswap btc to gatehub btc if possible) you can send gatehub btc to any btc address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, you'll probably have to hold my hand and walk me through it.... :-( As stated above, I REALLY just want to convert everything in my wallet to BTC and send it out and close the account.

namini Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 You don't need shapeshift or changelly, you need to convert your Snapswap.BTC to Gatehub.BTC, directly or by converting to XRP first. You can only do that on Gatehub website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only do that on Gatehub website. Attempting to "exchange" the 0.0363478 BTC from Snapswap results in "You will get exactly $22.76" I'm not doing that because at today's USD/BTC price of about $1850 I should get around $67. So $22.76 is nowhere close to a fair price. Other options such as XRP seem just as funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound like that is your problem though. Good luck. I know the Gatehub engineers are working hard on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I've got a sell order to sell the BTC for XRP for what seems a fair price. I'll see how that goes. I noticed XRP seems to have exploded overnight.

namini Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) You will only be able to sell them at the price someone agree to buy them from you. Again Snapswap has been a dead gateway for years, but the iou is still traded by some people. You (and people still having snapswap btc) might want to check this post too: https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/4543-absurd-exchange-rate-when-trying-to-send-bitcoin-payment-on-gatehub/#comment-43776 Edited May 12, 2017 by namini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
