Topic: Help pls, I have 1,700 TRX stuck in MEW (Read 294 times)

Cant do it for just a few dollars of ETH.


No the problem is the fees and minimums are too HIGH so you cant just simply buy  $5-10 of ETH, because the fee either is too much or it does not pass the minimums.

That means yes you can buy small amount of ETH on exchanges, but you can not get it off the exchange

I have had this problem before, I bought $100 CAD (maybe $75 USD) of BTC and it was stuck in the exchange because of the fees and minimums.

Actually, this is WHY this thread is good, because it can make some aware of this fact which is easy to mistake because you normally pay fees in the same coin...

Also ETH should add in a way to pay fees in the token that you have instead.

The other good thing about this is now if someone needs some ETH for GAS they can post here or PM me and I will send enough for gas

I am making $110 USD off of TRX / Tron right now and as soon I cash out I will buy some ETH pay back Starxoff

I just helped Perfect35, and am waiting around for more to help

Hopefully you learned it now that you can't transfer any token unless you have the Eth balance, you can withdraw tokens from one exchange to other exchange directly to avoid Eth fee. You can buy Bitcoin and then exchange it to Eth and transfer it to your MEW account. There are so many exchanges to buy Bitcoin for fiat. You can try localbitcoins.com

I think your problem is that the service fee is too low.
So you can solve the problem by buying some ETH from the trading platform,

Wtf what i read on here. I thought what was OP means by his TRX stuck in MEW, but i dissapointed to know if he only want to beg some ETH for gas.

Buy it from any exchange then send to your MEW.

Then fund it with bigger one. AFAIK you will not be dissapointed to invest in ETH right now.

I sent TRX to MEW in emergency, and was not aware I needed ETH to send it again.

Why do so many have a hard time to understand? One other person fell into the same trap as me!


Yes, you do have to worry, if you are trading and trying to make profits. Or if you are worried your TRX will be half its original value by the time you get access to it. In my case Starxoff helped me get it into exchange in time to sell out and still make a profit only 50K satoshis or so... but I am learning


And as a regular user of ETH and ERC-20 tokens, you already knew that. I being a noob to ETH and ERC-20 tokens did NOT know that.


I am in a hurry, I am trading TRX to get more BTC. I already WAS asking for donations, this is the thread where I did it (I am the OP)

If you read what I wrote I also was waiting for a faucet but faucet payouts take a month or so to get a withdrawal.

"Just fund your wallet" is not an example... HOW do you fund your wallet with just a few cents of ETH?

With BTC I just go to mbtc.shop and buy $10 if I want with a low fee, pay Interac E-Transfer, and its in wallet in 24-48 hours. The point is moot anyways...

I am still available to send the ETH around to as many people as I can

If anyone is stuck "out of gas" (needs ETH to send) then post here or PM me. I think I can squeeze three or four maybe out of this

I will buy and keep some ETH in the future as well. Even if just $10

So you have successfully transferred your Trx to your new ,and wanted to transfer it again. You don't have to worry about your Trx on your mew as long as you hold the private key, eth is really important on sending any Tokens out of mew. If your not in a hurry to sell your Trx, you can always find ways to have your eth, like this ask for some donations if any would be open to share some eth to you, or just fund your wallet with eth. Right now is the right time for you to have some eth coz it is really low now, grab this opportunity.  Coz you will always need eth whenever your transferring from mew.

Don't worry I was helped, and I sent some to another person with same problem


Actually if you use a wallet you would fall into the exact same trap. Usually to send XYZ coin you have to pay fees in XYZ coin, not in ABC coin.

I had never used ETH or ERC-20 tokens and therefore had no idea how to use ERC-20 token.

You must pay for ERC-20 token in ETH not in the ERC-20 token (this is a deviation from the standard)

In my situation I was told to leave an exchange, and I had to emergency withdraw my funds in the cheapest available method I could find, which happened to be TRX. So I converted all of my coins to TRX and withdrew to a MEW.

There I got stuck, because all my crypto was in TRX, and I needed ETH to send. I cant send without ETH so I can't just swap TRX for ETH.

I cant get credit card, and every method has so many fees just to get a few cents worth of ETH to send. We're talking several dollars of fees for a few cents. Plus all the KYC.

Et voila!

Stuck

I do not understand how this is possible.
If you can use a wallet, then you do not know what ETH is needed.

People are way harsh. I'll send you some Etn chap don't worry. Send me your account details with home address and a pic of your driving licence so I can verify your a real person then I'll send over as much as you want.

The problem is not that big but I know how disturbing it is to think you have funds but can't do anything. As I've seen, you have successfully withdrawn it already. I admire your willingness now to help others too with the same problem.

Sent 0.00008 ETH to you, should be enough for one transaction based on the fee it charged to send.

If you need more let me know I send more.

I just want to make sure it gets to as many people as possible Anyone else let me know I will keep sending it until it is gone

Thank Starxoff, not me

Yes it WAS stuck in MEW because I had 0 ETH

Starxoff just helped me by sending a few dollars to me, now I am trying to return the favour 3 fold

If you are stuck as well, let me know your ETH address and I will pay it forward I will help you get unstuck too

If anyone needs help getting un-stuck with ETH or anything else, either post here or PM me and I will help my best so I can pay it forward

From this point on I promise not to make the same (really really dumbass) mistake again, and to carry extra crypto so I can help others

bcuz helping newbs is how we increase overall liquidity and get our bags paid for  

Thank you thank you thank you

Send me an email address and a question and answer and I will email transfer you $10 CAD

Or I can send you the same amount in TRX back to you

You didn't have to send first, but I appreciate it thanks

This seems to be a serious issue, but what i do not understand is that, you already have your TRX in your MEW, do you want to transfer it to an exchange, or you want to send it to another MEW address? Talking about gas, which i do not have enough too and if no one is able to donate to you, i feel you should approach some around you, that you can see one on one to send or sell some eth to you.

Check your PM, dude.

What simple thing is that? If you are going to say "buy ETH from exchange" that is already answered in a posting several posts up.

If you have some sort of trick for sending without having ETH please do let me know

LOL

How many words, guys, are here, instead of doing one simple thing.

PM sent.

No, I am not. I am staring at 1,700 TRX that I cannot withdrawal.

Everyone saying to 'just buy it from an exchange' please read my posting a few posts up, I cannot just simply buy a few cents of ETH

If you know where I can buy a few cents of ETH with Interac Email Transfer, please let me know.... Otherwise I am screwed until someone either donates some ETH or is willing to sell me some ETH (I would buy $5 worth of ETH for $10 CAD and I would send first)


I ended up in crypto by buying BTC, and joining an exchange.

Do you want new comers to learn and buy your bags from you or do you just want your assets to fall in value?

It is easy for a ETH newb to get stuck like me.

Newbs will get stuck and have problems, I suggest you start accepting that fact More newbs are on the way!

Anyone who does not want to help me or is just trolling please leave.

I'm wondering how you ended up in the cryptocurrency world if you can't resolve this issue. Excuse me, but this is ridiculous. I understand that maybe you are a beginner. But such things perishing need to know and to decide. Buy some Ethereum and that's it.

LOL you must be kidding, if you want ether you can buy it at most exchanges out there, there is no need to beg for it in the forum. Just go to Kraken or Bittrex and serve yourself.
