What this page is

Whenever something on this site changes in a way that could affect a reader's judgement, it gets an entry: which page, what it said, what it says now, and when. Typos and layout tweaks do not qualify.

Why bother? Because on a subject involving money, whether a site will admit it got something wrong tells you more than how accurate it claims to be.

2026-09-27 · The privacy page left out visit statistics

This site has used Google Analytics since 2026-09-15, yet the privacy page still said there was “no analytics code installed” and that we set no cookies. That was untrue, and the page itself promised that if analytics were introduced we would update it and log the change here. It now states what the statistics collect, which cookies they set, and how to opt out.

Impact: anyone who read the privacy page after 15 September was given wrong information. The page should have changed before the statistics went on; we did it the other way round.

2026-09-15 · The 340 correction missed a fee table in the comparison article

When we moved the platform fee hinge from 350 to 340 on 09-03, this log said we had fixed "the rate ladder — the effective rate on the 340 row, from 0.100% to 0.103%". That referred to the table inside the order cost calculator. A second fee table sits in the body of Binance stocks vs a regular broker, and it was missed: its 340 row still read 0.100%. The correct figure is 0.103% (0.35 ÷ 340). The Chinese and English versions are now fixed; the Arabic version does not carry that table.

What it meant for you: anyone reading that row would have assumed the 340 tier costs the same 0.1% as a large order, when it is in fact slightly higher. The gap is tiny, but that row is the hinge itself, and the whole article rests on the argument that a small order has its rate pushed up by the minimum fee — the wrong number was the one carrying the argument. A correction that was not swept clean is itself worth a line here.

2026-09-03 · The cited help page's update date was off by a day

Six places on this site said Binance's identity verification help page was "marked updated 2026-06-05". Opening it again today, the page itself says 2026-06-04. All corrected.

A single day changes no conclusion in the article. It is logged because it is a factual claim about a source, and owning mistakes here is not selective — if we only logged the big ones, the log would tell you nothing about the small numbers. Incidentally the English figure caption had it right (06-04) while the body had it wrong, on the same page.

2026-09-03 · The platform fee hinge is USD 340, not 350

This was a wrong number, and it had been on the site since launch. We had written that orders at or below USD 350 pay the USD 0.35 minimum and orders above it pay 0.1%. The Binance stock fee page (cross-checked against the Chinese version, September 2026) puts the line at USD 340.

Where did 350 come from? 0.35 divided by 0.1% is exactly 350 — the arithmetic break-even. We most likely derived it rather than copying the published figure. Binance draws the line at 340, where 0.1% comes to 34 cents, a cent under the minimum, so it is not an exact break-even at all.

Changed: body text and headline figures across 28 pages, and the order cost calculator in all three languages (the threshold it calculates with, and the rate ladder whose 340 row is corrected from 0.100% to 0.103%). Impact: if you used our calculator on an order between 340 and 350 dollars, the fee it showed was a cent too low. Small, but wrong is wrong.

2026-09-02 · The account pages now carry an affiliate-region notice

The pages previously noted that readers in the EU and the UK have found it hard to open accounts. That is about whether you can open an account. Binance separately restricts affiliate promotion in a set of regions, and the two are not the same thing. All three language versions now state, right next to the referral link, that readers in the United States, the EU/EEA, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong are not covered by the offer on that page and should not sign up through the link. We do not treat that list as permanent: the scope moves, and what Binance shows on its own sign-up page and terms at the time is what governs.

2026-08-29 · An author page, and at least two checkable primary sources on every article

Of the 36 articles on this site, 13 previously carried no external primary source in the body and 7 carried only one. Every article now carries at least two, pointing at the pages that directly support the claim in question: Binance's identity verification help article, its P2P scam guidance, its stocks product page and fee schedule, Circle's and Tether's own transparency pages, the ADGM register record for Nest Trading Limited, and the NYSE trading calendar. There is also a new author page setting out that Shen Jianchuan is a pen name, how the material is made, what it covers, and the three areas we explicitly do not cover: tax, legal eligibility, and anything requiring account access. Every article's author details now point there.

2026-08-29 · Corrected the claim that Binance commits to no verification timeframe

The text said Binance does not commit to a duration for identity verification. That was wrong: Binance's identity verification help article (marked updated 2026-06-04) puts review at typically within 48 hours. The relevant passages and FAQ answers in all three languages now cite that figure, while keeping the point that manual review is noticeably slower.

2026-08-29 · Fixed a dead external source link

The P2P risk page cited the US Federal Trade Commission's cryptocurrency scam guidance with an extra segment in the URL (-and-), pointing at an address that does not exist. It now uses the correct URL, and the Arabic version carries the same source.

2026-08-29 · Removed unverifiable first-person experience

Several articles contained lines like "the first time we did this we used an amount small enough to write off" and "the form caught us out the first time too". Nothing dated, located or documented backed them up, so a reader had no way to check them. Those lines in all three languages are now written as recommendations that do not lean on our own claimed experience.

2026-08-29 · Custody-chain sources moved from directory landing pages to the specific record

The account pages in all three languages used to link the ADGM public register home page and Alpaca's disclosures index, leaving readers to search from there. They now link the ADGM record for Nest Trading Limited directly (FSRA number 260000, registered 5 January 2026, Active at the time of writing), and the restriction on that record is now quoted in the text: it is not permitted to hold or control Client Money. That is the regulatory side of the same fact as Binance not custodying your securities. Alpaca now points to its Broker API page. Official Binance links on each of those pages went from five to three, with the duplicated terms and help-centre links merged.

2026-08-28 · The EU and UK access note now appears in both languages

The English pages already said that readers in the EU and the UK have found it hard to open new accounts; the Chinese pages did not. That materially affects whether the route is worth your time, so both language versions now carry it. We do not publish a country list — that scope moves, and the sign-up page you see is the real answer.

2026-08-26 · Wording that called this site an official partner of the exchange came down, and so did the mark

The footer, the home page and a few conversion blocks used to describe this site as an official promotional partner of the exchange, next to an exchange mark we had redrawn ourselves, and the share images carried a badge saying much the same. That overstated the relationship: we use the exchange’s public referral link, and hold no official standing, agency or authorisation. Those spots now state only the fact — some links here carry a referral parameter — alongside the disclaimer that this is not Binance and not a licensed broker. The redrawn mark and the badge are gone. The links themselves, the referral code and the fee explanations are unchanged.

2026-08-24 · A planned ticker mapping table became a glossary

The tools section was planned to include a mapping between tokenised stock tickers and their underlying symbols. While building it we found the full list could not be verified item by item from public sources, and a partly-wrong ticker table is more dangerous than none — placing the wrong order is an expensive mistake. It shipped as a glossary instead, which is material we can get entirely right. The original plan was never published; this is logged to leave a trace of the trade-off.

2026-08-24 · Site name and address settled as KWOTRA / kwotra.com

Before the site opened, some page titles and descriptions used a temporary name. Everything now uses the settled name and address. If you find a link elsewhere under the old name, kwotra.com is the current address.

That is the log so far

Those are all the corrections to date. Leaving it thin beats inventing entries to fill it. Anything new is added at the top, by date.
