They already suspended deposits and withdrawals or they will suspend it in future? I read these notices on other exchanges as well but what about users who already have a balance in their wallet in BTC? It's necessary to be careful for the next few days as these exchanges are restricting bitcoin withdrawals even before 1st August. I don't get the reason to start taking precautions 7 days before the event.

I think they just suspend the transaction with bitcoins. Is also for the safety of  its costumer because of this upcoming August 1 segwit activation. We understand that. I still have funds on their platform I am confident with bittrex. Nothing to worry about.
well it is the main issue that it is being raise about bitcoin everywhere and the people who want it to be the most power full currency again but I think it is happening because they want to ensure their users that the currency that the coin they are using is safe and secure you will have to wait till things will be settle again instead of changing your coins.

I had recently seen that bittrex is not accepting bitcoins, which means that i cant deposit nor withdraw. It says until BIP-91 is settled, the btc wallet will be disabled.

I would like to know till when this BIP-91 will be settled? and moreover segwit will happen from 1st august, so i wont be able to transfer from that time.
I have some bitcoins in coinsecure and i want to transfer them to bittrex and exchange them for some other currency...

Any suggestions on investing in other currencies on bittrex?
are you planning to deposit altcoin in bittrex then exchange it to bitcoin
maybe try eth or other stable coin that stable in price and have chance of price growth in just an hour
I don't think that what he wants to do but there's no way for him to buy or invest altcoins on bittrex without buying bitcoin.
So all he have to do is wait for things to settle before he can invest on altcoins in Bittrex. 
But the wait would be worth it since you know that bittrex is doing it for security purpose incase a split happens.

These exchanges are only going to credit users coins on one chain if there is a split right?   So the exchange would get to keep any "duplicate" (etc-like) coins for themselves.  There were likely many users planning to withdraw before Aug 1 for this very reason and now they cant.   They should have announced the cutoff date well in advance.

I think these are great decisions, because at least we will not end up with an host of unhappy noobs that are either not at all cautious or simply stupid and that will shout on their roof that Bitcoin is a scam while in fact they just do not merit to own bitcoins.

For some anecdotal evidence, I just sent some BTC to Bittrex. It is working fine, but 6 confirmations are needed.

So much misunderstanding by everyone here... Instead of looking to the forums just look at bittrex own announcement from twitter:

"BTC and Bitcoin asset wallets now back on.  Confirmations are temporarily set to 6.  BIP-91"

In other words this was a temporary measure to protect users and themselves and it only lasted for a few hours.

No, they have accepted bitcoin, which is of course when they announce it. I think you got confused, check back.

This is just part of being proactive on the part of Bittrex so they can protect our Bitcoin while there would be changes on the Bitcoin network. I agree that it has come early but I think there is something that will be done either today or tomorrow. This is something we can all understand.

You may be right. But they did this to simply make their jobs easier. Imagine all the possible complaints Bittrex users can make. I only wished they made an announcement maybe 2 days before they disabled deposits and withdrawals.

You can still trade btc for altcoins tho.
BIP91 also kinda unexpected to start it early and you can't blame someone for this event. Though, it has been informed to you in this forum to store your bitcoin if you need it to different wallet which you can access the private key to avoid this thing,

Things will be clear once BIP 141 is locked in. But the problem is that it will take at least two weeks more for the BIP 141 to lock in. Unlike BIP 91, the BIP 141 requires a 95% majority in a group of 2,016 bocks. It is not going to lock in during the current signaling period, and therefore we may need to wait until the next one, which may start after 3-4 days.

Just a confusion here. IF BIP91 is activated why shall we wait for BIP 141 also? Is it also necessary for both BIP91 and BIP141 to be activated for a softfork ? I am not so good at technical things but i hope someone clears this confusion .

Oh I also have some bitcoin there so it was also locked there than but its ok for me because I don't want to get any shitcoins when network will split on 1st august. But they have done this quite early, most of the other platforms will disable it only around 30 to 31st july.

What happens to a deposit if you made a deposit after Bittrex had closed and locked down its Bitcoin wallet? Undecided
When will it arrive? Can it be reversed? Huh
Wanted to trade some altcoins but now I'm not even sure where my transaction will end up?

Created a support ticket on Bittrex support page and waiting for a reply...

Seems a lot of anxiety due to segwit issues. Maybe all the wallet will plan to secure their coin coins from a problem that will occur on August 1 later. Maybe just can see what will happen later. And in this forum have warned about it. So we do what is needed. So that later we will not lose our bitcoin and coin coins

We're all stressed out and angry for this segwit thing. It caused dump on altcoins and we lost too much bitcoin. Plus BIP91 caused delays in bitcoin transactions and bittrex also locked our bitcoins there. We have enough reason to get mad. Just waiting to see everything is finished with bitcoin upgrade.

I think the are protecting the bitcoins for the upgrade.  We all know that a huge upgrade of bitcoin is coming.  So we should wait and see what happens.

i think the move of bittrex is acceptable. to cater its users long-term, this move will protect its users from any bitcoin uncertainties during the august 1 event. i think this is a professional way to handle its clients to serve them more and not destroy their reputation in coin exchange industry.

I think it is because of the early precautions when bitcoin will split. They have already posted and warned traders or most trading sites and exchanges have posted that they will disable their withdrawal and incoming bitcoin transaction because of the coming hardfork. Even some local exchanges have given early warnings that they will disable it a week before August 1.
