[ANN] Bittrex - Next generation exchange (btc/ltc/eac/ppc/rdd/ftc/and more)

[JollyGood]

Just some legalities I think, there will probably be no changes to the actual functions and layout of the website.

When you look at Binance having various websites for local jurisdictions it might make sense to some but is an inconvenience to others, Binance Jersey being an example.

If Bittrex have one global website which is registered in the EU that would serve its current purpose then why not go for it? They would be staying put and continue n operating from their current offices but just their company would registered on paper within the EU.

So they moved to "Bittrex Global' and removed a few markets without notifying anyone..

Bittrex removing markets without a notice.

And next, they'll change their name again to (drum roll please) . . . Bittrex Mars. 

On a serious note, people who are searching for those coins that got delisted, they are enumerated in this link.

Bittrex decided to ban my country and to disable my account. That is not problem, problem is because they didnt send me mail or sms (they have all my informations) after they disabled my account I just can withdraw my coins, but I can only withdraw some coins. For example I had Flexacoin worth around 70$ and I don't have option to withrdraw that. Here you can see proff, on Bitunivrse app I have FXC coin but on Bittrex I dont have option to withdraw that coin. My coins are stolen. I writed to support and they say I'm not member anymore and I can withdraw just what I have optioned. Please help.

FXC should be tradable for everyone except U.S residents so that's strange, especially that the banned countries have 18th of November as a deadline to withdraw their funds.

I had a similar issue some time ago when Bittrex enforced KYC and didn't allow me to withdraw my funds... so if the support didn't help, there isn't much you can do here. I suggest to simply move to a less strict platform like Kucoin or Binance.

To those who are included in the 31 countries, is it an option for them to use a VPN when they log-in so that when they are online, they will show up as example in Singapore and avoid the ban? Is that possible or they are violating the terms and condition. However the problem that I see is logging in using a VPN slows down your pc or laptop and you might lose an opportunity to buy or sell quickly.

VPN may work out if they don't have any detection system implemented.
Yes, it will be a violation of their terms and condition and if anyone gets caught then they may freeze the account no matter the user have funds or not.

However the problem that I see is logging in using a VPN slows down your pc or laptop and you might lose an opportunity to buy or sell quickly.

You are right if a user uses a free vpn, but the paid vpn can be fast enough.

Bittrex recently delisted GLC and now users are contacting us unable to withdraw their coins unless they pay a .25 BTC coin recovery fee.  

I guess since their volume has fallen to nearly zero, they have to find some way to pay the bills.

Actually, it was on their Recovery Policy (updated since 2017), not new : https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000961172

Aside from Bittrex's notification about the token being delisted, have you informed people via your newsletter or social media accounts about it? If yes, then you and Bittrex did your part. Also, if the users put their coin/token on exchange, they should know the risks.

GLC was a gold mine back in 2013 

Thanks for that

Only 30 days is way too low, people go on vacations lasting longer than that. It's a clear money grab IMO.

Exchanges' usually give a month to withdraw delisted asset, no?

You have a point about long vacations, but I don't think it's Bittrex's problem (or any exchange in general). We shouldn't store our crypto on exchanges, it was repeatedly mentioned here and there because it's risky, anything can happen. Not taking any side, just my honest opinion.

Other exchange like Poloniex don't do a recovery after the withdrawal deadline of a coin/token. If a user think it's unreasonable that Bittrex ask a recovery fee (or because of the amount), then just consider that they don't do a recovery and take it as a lesson.

Just because no one should be using an exchange as a vault, doesn't mean an exchange has the right to steal from its users. You must have very low standards of cryptocurrency exchanges if you think that is okay, that might be acceptable for a shit-tier exchange such as Yobit, but not for legit established businesses. Or it shouldn't be acceptable, perhaps this is what an average user expects

Requesting a recovery and paying the fee is not compulsory. As I've said above other exchanges doesn't even have that recovery thing.

Oh it seems to me that you consider it low standards when people know what they Accept in the TOS before they use a service.

I haven't used Bittrex since they started asking for KYC. Before that, they didn't have these 0.25 BTC extortion schemes going on.

I doubt users read the fine print. And yes, we did inform users.

But the reality is the policy is designed like this to make it cost prohibitive for users to retrieve their coins.

Which in your opinion are the best exchanges for crypto-to-crypto (non-fiat) trading that do not require KYC?

I think Binance is mostly fine, at least for now (as long as you're not connecting from one of the restricted countries). Bisq isn't bad either but it's a different thing so it's very limited when it comes to volume and available trading pairs.

The following thread of mine should be able to help y'all a bit:

Have a look at the KYC column of the comparison.

Thank you for the tips. I guess it has to remain Binance for non-fiat trading.

The reputation of Bittrex has been battered by several users posting here because of some past irregularities it had including accusation of selective scamming and inflating data and sending to CMC.

Which would you recommend for fiat trading?
