I live in the UK and I am a Supernatural romance writer.
I joined steemit back in July and every steem dollar I earned I invested back into Steem power.
I have 602 followers and SP= 759.662, so think it shows that I am good member of the community.
I join steemit not to make money, just a platform to showcase my writing.
However the past couple of months I have keep a few SD aside with the plan to cash it in, in January.
This is not so I can buy a new handbag or shoes. I wanted to use the money to support my writing.
At the beginning of January I renewed my membership of Romance Novelist Association on their New Writer Scheme. Membership cost £135.
My writer's bank account didn't have that much in it so the plan was to use some of my SD to make up the short fall.
I asked around and the advice was to use Brittex to turn my SD to bitcoin and then use localbitcoin to transfer to my bank account.
However I hit a problem when I tried to setup a Brittex account.
This was the message I got on the 3rd January.
It is the 25th January now and still no change in the message.
I am feeling I need to explore other options now.
So I am calling out to you the great steemit community for advice...
Please keep in mind I have never done this before and so away to do this simply is key.
Thank you in advance...
