I wish I never had to write this post.
I like to write happy posts and am not a fan of drama. I like to share recipes that I think are tasty or sometimes some flower photography, or perhaps even a personal tale from my life. Now maybe I am being a “Chicken Little” Boomer by thinking that the sky is falling. Perhaps this will all work out and have a happy ending. I certainly hope that is the case, and if it is I will be the first one to write another post letting you know.
My money is stuck at Ionomy.
I made my first deposit way back in November of 2020. Since that time I have bought and sold various coins, and I have deposited and withdrawn funds many times without a hitch. So last week I deposited some Raven coin and some Hive Backed Dollars without a second thought. On March 12th, I was able to trade them for some Doge and BNB just like always. There was no problem until I decided to withdraw my Doge and BNB.
An email was generated by @Ionomy saying that the transaction was awaiting verification, which I immediately did. However for the first time ever, the transactions were greyed out and the coins were never deposited to my Coinbase wallet.
I sent @Ionomy a support ticket which they replied that they received and that they would have an answer within 24 hours. Now that several days have passed and I've yet to receive any word from @Ionomy, I fear my funds will remain stuck there. In the greater scheme of things $500 is not a lot of money. However $500 is a lot of money to me, especially because I have never been a large earner on Hive and it takes a good bit of writing for me to earn $500.
What now?
I plan to follow up with more emails and hope for the best. Although having been involved in the equity markets for over 30 years, I am a total noob when it comes to crypto markets. However I have bought and sold a few coins in my time, so if I am mistaken on any part of my issue, I would be happy to be educated. If the fault lies on my end, I will happily write a post talking about that.
