Before Karatbars hard fork day, make sure you transfer KBC to Karatbit!

20 Comments

Karatbars hard fork day is just around the corner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Before December 15, you must transfer all your KBC to Karatbit exchange. This includes KCB coins as well. (If you haven’t done it already).

In other words, if you have KBC or KCB coins on other exchanges or wallets you need to transfer them ALL to your Karatbit account immediately.

This is necessary for the conversion of your coins to the new coin to take place (to Gold Standard Coin).

Your may have your coins on HitBTC, Coineal, or in Ethereum wallet…

Depending on where your KBC or KCB coins are, the process of transferring the coins varies. But it should be straightforward.

Follow the general directions below.

 

 

How to transfer KBC coins to Karatbit

  1. Simply look for ‘Send transaction’ or similar option inside your exchange or wallet account.

  2. First, select what you want to send — so, select KBC coin. There should be an option to do that. This option may be called ‘Type’ or similar.

    • Note: You may need to add KBC coin as a custom token

    • To add KBC as a custom token, you will be asked to provide Token Contract Address, Symbol and Decimal Value.

    • Here is this info for KBC:

      • Token Contract Address: 0xf3586684107CE0859c44aa2b2E0fB8cd8731a15a

      • Symbol: KBC

      • Decimal value: 7

    • Enter the above info into the provided fields. For example, in Ethereum wallet, ‘Add custom tokens’ window looks like this (see Screenshot #1 below).

  3. After that, in the ‘Amount’ or similar field, enter the entire amount of your coins. Remember, you want to transfer all your KBC coins to Karabit.

  4. Then, at some point, you will have to enter ‘To Address’ .

    • ‘To Address’ is a receiving address. This is place where you want your coins to be send, which is Karabit exchange.

    • What is the address of your Karatbit account? To look up your address, scroll down and follow ‘How to look up your Karatbit address’ tutorial

  5. After entering your Karatbit address, you are ready to send your KBC coins to Karatbit exchange!

    • However, before you click ‘Send’, make sure to double check that information in all fields is correct.

  6. Finally, click ‘Send’ or similar option to send KBC to Karatbit exchange.

    • Note: Depending on an exchange or wallet you may be charged a small transaction fee.

  7. Then go to your Karatbit account to see if KBC coins were deposited into your account. See them? Good! You are done and ready for the hard fork!

    • Then go back to the exchange or wallet you are sending KBC from and paste it into ‘To Address’ field.

If have KBC or KCB coins in your Karatbars account, it should be reflected in your dashboard under ‘Dual Team system’.

 

If you have coins in Karatbars account and your Karatbars account is linked with Karatbit

Then you don’t have to do anything! Karatbars staff will transfer them for you before the hardfork.

Note: You may still see the coins in your dashboard but be assured that they will be all transferred to your Karatbit account within the next week.

 

How do you know if your Karatbars account is linked to your Karatbit account?

  1. Go to your Karatbars dashboard.

  2. Then under ‘Your account’ you can see ‘Karatbars ID’.

    • If it’s linked, you will see your actual Karatbit ID (See Screenshot #3 above).

    • If it’s not linked, you will see ‘Not linked’.

 

If you have coins in Karatbars account and your Karatbars account is not linked with Karatbit

Then link your Karatbars account to your Karatbit account now!

Once you do this, Karatbars staff will transfer your coins to your Karatbit account sometimes by the end of the hard fork (December 16).

Here is an official answer from Karatbit Exchange:

Dear customer,

Thank you for your request

The coins will be moved by the end of the hardfork. Your tokens will be automatically transferred by us. You don’t have to do anything regarding that.

      Hey Miemie,

      You are talking about your Karatbars dashboard, right?
      Yes, you are correct, you should have ‘0’ next to ‘KCB Coins’ and ‘KBC Coins’

    Hi

    Thanks very much for the information. I have followed all the steps and linked my https://www.karatgold.sg/ account to Karatbit.

    However on my dashboard on Karatbit it still shows a zero balance for the coins and my karatbar account still shows that all the coins are there.

    However the Karatbit id is there which I suppose means that I must wait for the Karatbar staff to transfer the coins? It is not immediate?

    Thanks for letting me know just want to make sure i have not made any mistakes.

    Really grateful for the help.

      Hi Kirk,

      You are right!

      If you linked your account and you can see you Karatbit ID in your Karatbars Dashboard under ‘Your account’, you are done and mistake-free 🙂 So, you should see this under ‘Your account’.

      Karatbars staff will transfer all your coins to Karatbit sometimes by the end of the hardfork day (December 16).

      Here is an official answer from Karatbit Exchange:

      “Dear customer,

      The coins will be moved by the end of the hardfork. Your tokens will be automatically transferred by us. You don’t have to do anything regarding that.

      Enjoy your weekend 🙂

      Hi Secilia,

      Thank you for coming 🙂

      Have you activated 2FA correctly?

      See to activate 2FA here.

      If you do have it activated properly and after entering 5 times it still says it’s wrong, then the code you are entering may not be associated with this specific Karatbit account.

      In other words, if you use Google Authenticator for several accounts, are you sure that this code is associated with this Karatbit account?

      If you are sure, than I’d clear cookies and try entering the code again.

      ~~~

      If it still doesn’t work:

      1. Then I’d email Karatbit at support@karatbit.com and ask them to disable 2FA code for your Karatbit account.

      2. Then re-install Google Authenticator app on your phone.

      3. Then log in into your Karatbit account after Karatbit has deactivated your 2FA.

      4. After that, just re-activate 2FA and you should be good to go.

      ~~~

      Let me know if you get stuck along the way and I’ll assist you 🙂

    i just linked my karatbars to karatbit and i have my KCB on karatbar, am i to late to transfer KCB to KBC?

      Hi Dorian,

      If you just linked your accounts you need to wait for Karatbars staff to transfer the coins to your Karatbit account.

      As long as Karatbars staff transfers the coins sometimes before January 4, you won’t be late to exchange KCB for KBC.

      The deadline to decide what you want to do with your KCB is the end of January 4.

      See how to exchange KCB for KBC here.

      Make 2020 be the turning point 🙂

    Hi,
    I have written several emails to karatbars and karatbit since 11 December 2019 to date. I have not progress much querying about my coins and commission that are not reflecting. Today i saw on my karatbars profile setting that it does not have payout tab when i compare with my sisters setting. Karatbars says not linked but karatbit says linked already.

      Hi Angel 🙂

      Sometimes there maybe technical/formatting bugs in Karatbars dashboard. So log out, log in again, and clear cookies.

      If Karatbars says ‘not linked’ but Karatbit says ‘linked’, again, clear your cookies, to reflect the changes.

      The Jan 4th deadline just got extended, so you have lots of time.

      Happy 2020 🙂

    I Transferred my new KBC “7th Jan 2020” after the merge to Metamask. The contract ID of the withdraw in karatbit was : 0xf3586684107ce0859c44aa2b2e0fb8cd8731a15a . My new KBC’s is now reflecting in Metamask but i am unable to send it to any other KBC exchange or even back to karatbit. I have done this more than 30 times successful before. I need any help PLEASE. My KBC is stuck in Metamask!

      Hi Pieter,

      Metamask extension? You mean your coins in MyEtherWallet (MEW), correct?

      Try with MEW CX extension, I used when transferring the coins from MyEtherWallet and it worked well.

      Also MEWconnect worked too for one batch of coins (I had to go with another it because I could not re-install it after accidentally uninstalling it).

      Let me know if it helps 😉
