There are many ways to lose your CRYPTO..... Here's just one of them....
When an exchange posts a stipulation for a MINIMUM deposit amount make sure you HEED it. In my case, COSS.IO has a minimum BTC deposit amount of 0.005 BTC. Not seeing the TINY, TINY small print I deposited 0.0038 BTC. Here's the tiny message at the bottom.....
Well, in order to try and force the 0.0038 BTC to my wallet, I sent another amount of 0.005 BTC. After waiting many hours for my deposit to appear (yay COSS!.... sarcasm) I saw that my balance was still only 0.005 BTC, rather than the 0.0088 I had hoped for. COSS support has been very slow in getting back to me at all. So, I suppose I'll have to count my losses and consider this part of my "Crypto Tuition".
Well, at least we're only talking about a fairly small amount! :) I just wanted to post this to help especially those who are new to the crypto world!!!
