For now gas would cost 20-25 USD, though the price is going to increase over time.
This is one of the reasons why we can't allow withdrawals with non-standard, much higher fees. We have hundreds of accounts holding much less than 20-25 USD value of DIG. Once we enable withdrawals with high fees - they will not be able to withdraw at all and create even more FUD. Other thing is it's not technically possible for us. We have time-proved ERC20 engine which works perfect for other 42 ERC20 tokens we have here on exchange. We can't change it because it will lead to unnecessary higher fees for all other 42 tokens we have here. That's why it's impossible to resolve DIG issues without DIG owner initiatives. We write DIG owner every day directly with requests to provide solution but he did not and stopped responding 5 days ago. Sorry, but it's not us to resolve this issue.
I'm glad to hear that you are actively seeking a solution with Arbitrade

I can understand that. So you can't easily change the gas limit for only DIGNITY. Technically however it would not increase the transactions costs for any other ERC20 tokens, because that settings only defines the maximum gas limit, and other tokens will still use the same amount of gas and thus transaction fees.
Your current gas limit is
350 000, but to be able to withdraw dig currently at least
2 500 000 gas is required, but
3 500 000 limit would be safer in short term. It is
10x more than the current limit and I agree its ridiculously high. Too bad the contract code cannot be updated itself to fix that.

That's surprising to be honest. But if people can withdraw their much bigger amounts of DIG from C-CEX, you could re-open the DIG market, which would lead to normal market prices and people could sell their sub 25 USD DIG holdings. Or you could ask Arbitrade to pay all withdrawal fees for everyone for a limited time. I can't imagine a reason for them not to agree to that.
This special agreement wouldn't even have to be a permanent solution, even a temporary temporary solution would satisfy your numerous DIG holders. Arbitrade has hugely important news coming coming in the next 24-72h, and C-CEX withdrawals failing would potentially have a very negative effect during a crucial time.
If you give us diggers a week to withdraw to tokens despite the high fees, and let us or Arbitrade pay for the additional transaction costs for a week, wouldn't that be a win-win situation for everyone?
