Binance Fixes Dogecoin Withdrawal Issue After Elon Musk’s Twitter Attack
Dogecoin users have recently been keeping an eye on Binance due to technical issues related to DOGE withdrawals on the exchange. DOGE withdrawals have been on hold for a few weeks on the exchange, so a debate has surfaced on Twitter with “Dogefather” Elon Musk. Binance has now continued to withdraw DOGE and also released a blog post explaining how the Binance and Dogecoin Core Maintainers faced issues during the DOGE wallet upgrade. Binance has also announced a further upgrade to version v1.14.5 of the Dogecoin wallet.
In one blog post, Binance said withdrawals are reopened after a two-week pause due to database problems following a network upgrade. What started as a fairly simple upgrade, has turned into an issue that has prevented Binance users from withdrawing DOGE for the past 17 days, Binance said in the post.
Following the musk vs cz controversy, Binance announced today that all issues have been resolved and DOGE has resumed deposits and withdrawals. 1634 users received duplicate transactions. https://t.co/kF73YT75Mi
