Hey everyone! First post on Hive and decided to check out Probit real quick as they recently added a Hive-USDT and Hive-KRW pair to their exchange! Many were asking me if they require KYC so I figured I'd just try it out real quick - spoiler; they don't! :)
Registration was really simple, just email, password and then verifying with a code that's sent to your email and you're in!
Once I logged on I was a bit curious what the verification meant but figured I'd try sending it some Hive anyway to see if it was really needed or not, I'm assuming it's in case you are trading with bigger amounts or want to trade with the fiat pairs cause upon testing to check the HIVE-KRW pair it asked me if I wanted to visit another site but I declined as my curiosity stopped there but good to know it exists for our Korean users!
So I deposited some Hive and similar to the other exchanges all I needed was a unique memo so they know who is getting the Hive and their account @probithive, the Hive arrived in literally seconds so that was also nice to see! :)
Then about one minute later I tested withdrawing it which I guess is the main point with this post and the KYC question and after verifying the withdrawal with a code from the email it took about 5 minutes for the message to change from pending into successful, not instant there but I guess there's some other safety measures in place when withdrawing so not too concerned about the slower time there.
I'll end this post with a screenshot of the fast withdrawal as proof.
Thanks for reading and feel free to check out the exchange, I know some of you are interested in a HIVE-BTC pair and can't wait for Bittrex to open deposits but considering how slow and expensive it is to send and withdraw Bitcoins you might as well want to trade Hive for ETH or something faster anyway which you can do on Probit, same for the other way if you want to buy Hive you can send it ETH/LTC/DASH and exchange it for USDT and then buy Hive and you'll have them on your account fast and securely! Let's hope @blocktrades has their exchange up soon and looking forward to their more traditional exchange launch!
Hive on! :)
