I'm new to the game. I bought a bunch of ESP on Yobit back in October and now the wallet is in "maintenance" mode. Are my coins lost or is there a way of somehow salvaging them and converting them to the new version?
Thanks
Welcome to crypto, since you are a newbie; you should also know that Yobit cannot be trusted as an exchange as they have the sad habit of never updating coin wallet software.
They also never answer back to technical support problems; if you send money to Yobit, it's at your own peril - 60% chance you will lose it all. Most coins at Yobit are permanently in "maintenance mode".
If you bought ESP at Yobit, sell it right now at Yobit, buy DOGE or Litecoin and move your coin out of there, then never go back to Yobit. Before withdrawing, ask in the chatbox to make sure there is no problem with the coin you will be using to withdraw, because if there is any kind of problem you cannot get any help.
Thanks. I'm learning the hard way about that exchange.
