Topic: Got this message on bittrex exchange. Can't sell. What do? (Read 1000 times)
I don't think it's big deal. It is just another maintenance by the founder of coin. The recirculating coins will be capped with limit for sometime under what time the entity will run a maintenance protocol. In that period you can not buy or sell the coins. This option is out there in every exchanges. So wait for sometime and the trade will open once more.
Ok can you refer me to an exchange that doesn't do this?
I traded stock before and this messes with my strategy also is a horrible time waster.
Almost all of the exchanges out there will do this, wallet can go to maintainance for days and only thing you can do right now is just wait.I traded stock before and this messes with my strategy also is a horrible time waster.
Stock and crypto market and exchange platforms runs with different rules.
You need to wait. There are some wallets that often go into maintenance but bittrex updates them soon unlike other exchanges. Even if the wallet is under maintenance, you can possibly trade the coin on the exchange itself but not deposit/withdraw till they update it. It should take less than 24 hours if there's no issue.
Your coins active in orders won't be available till you go to your orders and cancel the ones you have reserved. Then you can again sell them. Nothing is wrong with those wallets.

This is what I'm talking about.
Reserved are coins which are in active order. Are you sure there are no active sell orders with this coin? If so then it's definitely worth contacting the support.

Sorry but I think all exanges do the same. Wallet updates are quite often and it's same as any other software ... you can't use it during the update (or can but have to restart it later).
IMO it's not even possible to keep things running as it could bring some security, incompatibility or w/e issues.
Maybe you can try to contact support if it's possible to let you know about incoming updates upfront.
Or watching coin homepages about incoming updates? (I'm not sure if it's pre-announced)
Your strategy should count with such things are going to happen. To mitigate risk you might consider last update time ( e.g. recently maintened wallet will most likely not going to be maintened soon and vice versa ... I don't know, just giving you hints.
Also I can't even sell my other coin.
You mean your other cryptocurrencies? It should be quite clear how to do that. What's stopping you?Damn thats lame. Do other exchanges do this?
Yes. I question the necessity of doing it so often, but Bittrex is quite reasonable about it. I've been trading some GBYTE in there every now and then, and it's gone into maintenance once or twice but it's already out again within a day or two.I really wouldn't go to another exchange right now unless it's decentralised. I'm not sure about any exchange, but Bittrex has always been pretty good for me while Poloniex has taken hours for withdrawals sometimes without even explaining why at all. For most cryptocurrencies, Bittrex and Poloniex are the only ones with good enough volume anyway.

Yeah. It's quite usuall. I notice similar things on polo ( disabled dep./with. but never tried whether trading is also disabled ).
By other coins you mean other coins under maintenance. Correct? Then I guess you are just unlucky in holding (and wanting to sell) coins which are under maintenance right now.

Unfortunately I can't sell any of my wallets. I set up limit sells for them but I can't do anything at this point.
Maybe a different exchange? Can someone recommend me some suggestions or ideas? Thank you.
if you're really desperate to get them out asap you could try messaging the support about it, maybe they'll be able to help you

You can't even withdraw so other exch. is not an option. The already set up limit sells should not happen as this coin trading is (IMO) deactivated during the maintenance.
Only thing you can do is wait till the maintenance is finished.
