  The contact address is live; the contact page no longer says it is pending

  That page previously stated the address was still being set up and declined to publish a placeholder. The address now exists, the page carries [email protected], and it has been added to the site’s Organization structured data. The "once the channel is open" phrasing has gone with it.

• 2026-08-29
  Added verifiable official sources to the high-risk factual claims

  Only two of the fifteen articles carried an external source, while the rest covered delisting deadlines, deposit retrieval, account restrictions and confirmation thresholds — things people act on. Twelve now carry specific citations to official pages, each with the month it was checked, placed next to the sentence they support rather than gathered at the foot of the page.

• 2026-08-29
  "The withdrawal window is usually one to three months" replaced with the platform’s own figure: two months

  That range was an observation with nothing behind it. Checking turned up Binance’s delisting FAQ, which states that cessation of withdrawals "generally takes place two months after the corresponding token’s delisting date and time". The article now quotes that directly, notes it is a general practice rather than a commitment, and keeps the date in the notice as what actually governs.

  Withdrew three claims that the cited pages do not actually make

  A draft cited the deposits-not-credited page for 30 Ethereum confirmations and 6 for USDT, and for a list of four things support requires. It also cited the withdrawal-settings page for a 24-to-48-hour suspension after a password change and for suspensions being impossible to lift early. Reading those pages line by line, none of that is there: they state that the network minimum for BTC is 1 while Binance requires at least 2, that other coins differ, and that modifying or disabling the whitelist temporarily suspends withdrawals for 24, 48 or 72 hours. The text has been pulled back to what the pages say, and the "an application asks for coin, amount and TxID" point was re-pointed at the retrieval guide, which does state it. A wrong citation is worse than no citation, so this gets its own entry.

• 2026-08-29
  Removed unverifiable first-person experience

  Several passages said things like "I have watched this go wrong more than once" or "that accounts for most of the cases I have seen". There were no case records or sample descriptions behind them, a reader had no way to judge them, and they did not appear symmetrically across the three languages, which makes them read as voice rather than evidence. All of them are now objective descriptions of the mechanism. Sentences explicitly marked as the writer’s own preference are kept; the editorial policy already flags those as judgement rather than evidence.

• 2026-08-29
  Core page titles rewritten in the language people actually search

  The home page, the migration handbook and the security piece had titles that read like magazine sections. They now use the phrasing someone would type into a search box. The body text is unchanged.

• 2026-08-29
  Removed the "the withdrawal window is usually one to three months" framing that could encourage delay

  Several pieces treated the gap between trading closing and withdrawals closing as a range you could rely on. The range is a genuine observed pattern, but it is not a commitment from any platform and a notice is free to make it much shorter. Written that way, a reader might not go and check the date in the notice and could miss the real deadline. It now appears only as background, with how long you have governed entirely by the stop-withdrawal date the notice states. Changed in all three languages.

• 2026-08-29
  The timeline tool no longer claims "most platforms" keep a manual request route open after the deadline

  The copy said most platforms keep a late-handling route open. We have no basis for that proportion and practice varies widely. It now reads "some platforms do and some do not; it depends on that platform's current arrangements". Changed in all three languages.

• 2026-08-29
  The fee page no longer describes the BNB discount as permanent

  Earlier on the same page we state that the size of the reduction is set by the platform and can be revised; further down, the recommendation list called it permanent. The two contradicted each other. It now reads "it keeps applying for as long as it is switched on, with the current figure being whatever the Binance fee page shows". Changed in all three languages.

• 2026-08-29
  All three home pages rendered the fee reduction figure with an extra percent sign, as 20%%

  In the template that string was passed as a value rather than used as a format string, so the escaped double percent sign was never unescaped and readers saw an extra one. Fixed.

• 2026-08-29
  Fixed two structural problems: an unclosed paragraph tag, and a 404 page with no heading

  Both found during pre-publication checks. In the account-opening piece, the paragraph about account limits was not closed, which leaves the page structurally unbalanced to a parser. The 404 page had only a large decorative "404" and no actual page heading. Neither affects what you read, but both affect machine parsing and accessibility, so they are logged per the editorial policy.

• 2026-08-29
  Third language changed from Hebrew to Spanish

  The original language plan included a Hebrew edition. Checking turned up two problems: the exchange we work with still has no Hebrew interface, so readers clicking a sign-up link would land on a page they could not read; and the main region for that language has a standing regulatory position on that exchange's marketing activity dating back several years. On those two grounds the third language became Spanish, aimed at Latin America.

• 2026-08-29
  The cost column in the network lookup changed from figures to scale descriptions

  The draft listed approximate fee figures for each chain. That was removed before publication: on-chain costs track congestion in real time and platform charges get revised, so a fixed number starts going stale the day it appears, and a reader may act on the old one. The column now gives direction and magnitude only, with the page stating that this is a hand-kept snapshot from 2026-08 and that the withdrawal page holds the real number.

• 2026-08-29
  Workplace jargon replaced with ordinary language across several pieces

  The drafts had picked up vocabulary that belongs in meetings and internal documents. This site is written for people dealing with their own money, not for colleagues, so all of it was rewritten in plain terms. No factual effect, but it affects readability, and the editorial policy says to log it anyway.

Telling us about a problem

If you find any of the following on the site:

• A description that no longer matches a platform's current rules;
• An out-of-date screenshot or figure;
• Something that does not hold together, or that could mislead;

please let us know. Where the point stands up we will change it and record the change on this page.
