Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.
Yes, Bittrex stopped accepting signups in December. It was a very unpleasant surprise now when I registered. The way I see it, since Poloniex is so unreliable, I have only two options - blocktrades and Bulgarian steemians looking to power up with cash. I'll have to figure something out.
Try finding Bulgarians to exchange as blocktrades takes about 5% or more in fees
Well, fees are everywhere, I'll surely have to pay some or make the person willing to trade for cash at least a bit of discount.
There are almost no fees on bittrex :)
Oh, yeah, rub it in :P It's kind of frustrating that I can't get in on the action there.
