Bitfxt Monthly Newsletter — August Edition

6 min readSep 8, 2020

Welcome to the August edition of the monthly newsletter for Bitfxt Technology. We are excited to give our community a brief, retrospective review of our activities and milestones in the past month.

The month of August was an amazing one for the African and Global community. Activities were centered on improving our services through maintenance and upgrade. We also published educational content that would enable our users to know how to use specific features available on our exchange. We first published some helpful articles using the frequently asked questions from our users who were mostly newbies to cryptocurrency and trading. Blogs on setting up 2FA, Support ticket, etc., were published. We will briefly share more details on that in this newsletter, as well as a lot of other things.

Here’s a brief summary of some important events and achievements that took place in the month of August.

How to enable 2FA in Bitfxt

A lot of users have been unable to successfully activate a Two-Factor Authentication on their account. They were mostly unaware of the fact that a 2FA is an extra layer of security to their funds. In this article, it was made known that a password is not enough to secure an account as hackers have found a way to decode a password.

At the end of the blog, a list of tools that can be used to set up 2FA on an account was given as well as a step by step guide to using them. Finally, suggestions on how to set up a strong password was given. Read the full blog HERE.

How to open a support ticket

In every community, there’s always a time when members require support from the administrators. Bitfxt has in place, a support platform that offers support and assistance to the end-users of her products and services.

This blog was basically written to guide users on how to open a support ticket to make enquiry, request for assistance or make a complaint about an issue they are facing on the platform. Read more.

Account recovery issues and how to solve them

In the event of a security breach, do not entertain fear. Quickly alert the support team and necessary steps will be taken to secure and help you recover your account. Some minor account issues may also occur which does not require the assistance of a support personnel.

Important update on our Tatcoin trading pairs

Bitfxt is the exchange of the future and the fastest growing tech company in Africa. Due to an unforeseen circumstance, we had to disable withdrawals for an ERC20 token we recently listed called Tatcoin. This was due to a glitch we discovered earlier on Quick Buy/Sell of TAT. A situation where, due to the low liquidity and high volatility of TAT when it was newly listed, some traders manipulated the price of TAT and took advantage of the Quick Buy/Sell of tat to acquire huge amounts of the token at incredibly low prices.

We reached out to the TAT team to explore possible quicker solutions but seeing that the community was getting impatient, we have decided to quickly solve this issue once and for all by taking the following action:

1. Pause all TAT Deposits

2. Stop all TAT trading pairs

3. Reverse all TAT Quick Buy/Sell & Trades

4. Analyse all wallet balances to determine the next steps to take.

How to complete KYC verification on Bitfxt

Know Your Customer, otherwise known as KYC is a process that all businesses are required to carry out to be able to identify the customers they are doing business with.

The main objective of KYC is to know everyone you are transacting with and to also enable you to provide information about these people if you are requested to do so. It also helps to prevent businesses (financial and non-financial) from being used by criminal elements for money laundering, fraud and other corruption-related activities.
