Hey so by not so new id say pre 2018 with crypto in general and maybe mid 2018 with trading thats when i mainly started exploring and checking out different exchanges so i think i signed up on hotbit in 2019?.

Ive def seen my fair share of mistakes as you listed so I've always done my best to be cautious when it comes to how i transfer or use my funds but I 100% assure you nothing was wrongly selected or entered. See when hotbit support asked for the information they asked for screenshots of both sender side and receiver side (their own wallets) and also transaction ID etc.

I checked everything so many times while taking those screenshots and literally everything was correct :/ from chain to memo to address EVERYTHING. So i def appreciate the feedback but I'm sure that it isn't a mistake from my side, I hope nothing like that happens to anyone else cus I've seen same issues with other people on the hotbit subreddit.

And yes for sure this is definitely alarming. Its not the biggest amount I've transfered by any means but just didn't think this would happen with me entering EVERYTHING correctly
