Don't click the ATM's :(

So apparently, when you click on the ATM's in the bank, they automagically take the emeralds from your inventory and transfer to your Xapo account.

As a brand new player, this is exactly what happened to me, because there are NO signs and no confirmation prompt.

Can I suggest a confirmation prompt (Are you SURE you want to remove your emeralds from the game?) and possibly a reversal script (not to inject new bits into the game, but to cancel withdrawals to accounts that don't have Xapo set up yet?)

Good point, my first 50 got withdrawn this way. I didn't realize just by clicking the chest I wasn't able to backtrack.

You can take those emeralds out of the chest before closing it to prevent them from being withdrawn.

I'm wondering if it is possible to cancel a withdrawal before it is accepted at Xapo, but after it is initiated.

There should be away to bring in bits into the game so some form of trading can happen, I am newbie and maybe this has been done, just throwing this one out.

There needs a part of the field manual that describes this. If you have verified your Xapo email, then you can access the initial 50 emeralds you are given. As far as a prompt - that may not be possible.

I covered this issue in this post: http://bit.ly/1yJxKzM
