The only issue was one of my accounts being frozen during the Russia-Ukraine war because that exchange didn't support users in Russia.

In short, what happened to those accounts, are they still blocked or did you manage to get the funds out of there? Were there any warnings that there would be a ban and did they offer a redemption period?
I saw similar problems of some users and it sounded quite unfair and bad towards them.

You actually have a better chance at winning when you pick the same number(s) over and over again, than when you choose a different one each time.

Except in case when you win reward with the same numbers, I think you should not repeat and use them again.
Most people just write random numbers every time, including me, and I think I won some reward with my strategy

Well, I registered an account when I was working in Russia and used a Russian phone number. When the war broke out, the exchange suddenly announced that it would stop supporting Russian accounts and the phone number was one of the criteria for determining that. Even though I am not a Russian citizen, I could not access my account to withdraw tokens to my personal account or other CEXs.

This is really interesting and made me stop the habit of storing many assets on CEXs. However, I still have to use some CEXs such as Binance, GateIO and KuCoin to sell crypto for fiat or buy ALTS for my portfolio. Every investor should also pay attention to this because in some special cases, CEXs can block users accounts without giving us the opportunity to withdraw assets.

That's really a shame, considering, you are not even russian citizen. But your story really only confirms the fact that we shouldn't store coins on the CEXs. Although it's easy to do with a deposit meant for holding. But the deposit that you regularly trade with is difficult to withdraw to a cold wallet every time after the close of a trading session, and then transfer it back to the exchange at the beginning of the next trade. There will be big losses on commissions, plus it's just inconvenient.

@Etranger, CEXs with their service fees actually encourage users to keep their coins on the exchange for as long as possible, and the only reason is that they want to enable as much liquidity as possible. If these fees were much lower, then clients would certainly withdraw their funds to non-custodial wallets much more often - but then CEXs CEOs wouldn't earn billions and be among the richest people in the world, right?

I agree, centralised exchanges do everything to attract users and offer them all sorts of conveniences so that clients' money remains within their platform. But despite all this temptation, it is the responsibility of each user to monitor their money and ensure its safety. If a user does not consider it necessary to play it safe and keep the main capital in a cold wallet, and not on the CEX, then he risks becoming a victim of either an attack or freezing of his own funds. Although this can be avoided if he follows basic security rules.

@Etranger, I think that many people completely misunderstand that CEXs are not "crypto banks", but it is precisely CEXs that are working to convince them that this is the case. A well-known CEO stated not so long ago that 99% of users will lose their coins if they keep them in self-custody wallets, which for me personally is a huge underestimation of users and publicly calling them incompetent. He lost $4+ billion to get out of jail, so I'd say karma caught up with him - who's stupid now Mr. CZ

I hope that as many people as possible will understand how wrong and risky it is to use CEXs as crypto banks.

Yeah, that CEX is really unprofessional. They even had my KYC to verify but they didn't do it. They don't give users any chance to recover their stuck crypto assets.

However, this doesn't make me stop using CEXs, although I no longer store too much crypto on them. CEXs are still the simplest way for me to buy and sell crypto when needed, and moving crypto assets from persional account to CEXs is not too difficult when I want to liquidate them for fiat.

For now, I'm still quite comfortable using top CEXs thanks to the great support from MixTum ^^

Thanks brother, you're really on point
I've already signed up and it's a very fun system/game

it would be nice to also play some games in the forum, I don't know, beyond that a guess the price or I don't know, we need some alternative ideas to create ways to engage users
any idea?

I think this is forum stuff.
As it is quite easy to progress from rank to rank here, it is difficult to stimulate users to participate in some games. Like for example on the Btt forum, where younger users are stimulated by rewarding merit for good posts, running nodes or various contests.

I'm not sure if we can ask for more from Mixtum, they have the best paid campaign, plus (almost always open) generous raffle. A significant contribution from them to this community.

Don't act like the wealth of signature campaigns does not already engage all most of the users here 

Everything else, all the opportunities to earn money, it just to simulate user discussion about not just the service in question but about everything else too. It is a win-win situation. I can't think of anything better than that.

You can play games you want at your home, Mixtum is more for serious stuff, and raffles are good enough for me 
Reviews are always good but I think that majority members in this forum is already familiar with how Mixtum works, ones who are not should do something about that.

it was a no-brainer proposal, I know very well that mixtum already does a lot and I will never stop thanking the sponsor for this
I suggested, it might be a nice way to allocate gadgets instead of money
I don't know, a USB stick, a hat, that would be nice and it wouldn't be too expensive

Yeah I kinda agree with you, collectibles are great for free raffles, especially when they're in limited edition. But IMO, the main interest of a prize in BTC, it that we don't have any issue with shipment, no restricted area or country, etc...etc...
