They are a scam for sure.  Completely manipulated volume and sales.  Read the medium report on chinese exchanges, I think they are rated 2nd worst.

I was watching another scam coin CHP that was going for 20% higher at hitbtc as marketcap put it.

I signed up to see for myself and I even considered buying this shit coin to dump it for 20% profit at hitbtc.  I'm sure glad I didn't because after logging in and looking at the order book I realized it was all a fake. The number was nowhere near the expected and there was only one sale near that range. Basically the coin was trading at let's 11 and hitbtc was always 13 and reported it to marketcap at 13.. I'm rounding here but you get the picture.

It seems they either report false data to coinmarket cap or know when coinmarket takes a snapshot and doctor the data accordingly. 

I don't think HitBTC is a scam.. i'm already using this market since 6 months ago, and i never experience a single problem about anything.
But the thing that i don't like on this exchanger is tthe withdrawal fees.

they want to proof of source. KYC think. What if i can't pass that process ?

still no solution on #224572 and no one cares.

I don't understand this issue about hitbtc, why they are halting accounts that have more than 5 bitcoins on their balance? While those 3 bitcoins and below doesn't have any issue?
Damn, this isn't right. Hitbtc will definitely going to kill people if they will not do something to resolve their issues.

if you have 3 btc on your balance, no problem, no issue.
but if you have 5 btc on your balance, welcome to club.

support will kill you or you will instead of they.

that's my club entrance card.

You dont know on what you are trying to say on here which most coins are still on ICO stages doesnt even know on which exchange they should be listed even devs would really need to plan out regarding on this matter and we do know that most erc20 tokens are commonly listed into Etherdelta before hitting up another tier exchanges which Hitbtc is belong. This is way more better than on those common decentralized exchange.Keeping coins on exchanges is always never been suggested.

Actually most of the new coins which are in ICO stages or needs to be listed get listed on this exchange generally first and thus people tend to have the account here. But considering so many people having issues also cannot be ignored and try to be safe by not keeping much btc or coins on this exchange if you are using it.

funny but its true itry it yesterday my celphone got hangs when i try, i mmediately close it in my browser. Same expereince in yobit XD.

Actually, i'm new in trading and Hitbtc is my first exchange site to trade my token through bounty campaign and i never had experience any problem using that site, but the bad thing for my own experience when i use that site using my phone a little bit lag and the rest it's good.

same as me never has bad experience using that exchange , actually i just use that exchange yesterday and widraw my btc and its only take 30mins to recieve my widrawal .i still trust this exchange ,as long as i dont have bad experience using that exchange i stil use it.

Man, is this really for real? I have been using hitbtc for quite some time now and haven't really experienced any problem or whatsoever there yet. But if these issues are really true, then thank God i found this thread. I sure thought they had great services. Although I haven't tried their support yet. I shouldn't wait till this happens, I think I'll just pull out all my assets while I still am not facing any problems yet. Good job in making this thread, I hope a lot of newbies will also sees this or even longer players that does not know this yet so they can avoid being scammed by hitbtc.

I've been using HitBTC for a quite sometime now and I haven't encountered any problems with them the only issue I had is when I left my Trueflip coin in the exchange and did not monitored that they are going to delist the coin. The next thing I know is I can't withdraw it anymore but I  think it was my fault because it was too late for me to transfer it to another exchange though I did tried to contact heir support and nobody answered me.

My account is also suddenly stuck with the "Currency operations not available" error without any additional info. I cannot withdrawl. I cannot trade. I cannot move funds from "Main Account" to "Trading account". I have not made any suspicious transactions, just regular ones. Already created support ticket #251169 and still not reply. What more can I do about it? What do you suggest?

Well i don't think it is a hoax you must be the lucky ones that doesn't face any issues right know but watch out for your future trades there is always a chance you will encounter that issues my only advice get out of that site before it's too late.

Agreed, I too haven't encountered any issues with the respective exchange. Issues arise and for the same we cannot term it to be a scam, because some issues take time for sought out and some happens in a small time period. Even yesterday got a message from them stating that some issues has been detected and suggested to move all Eth holding to mew for increased safety and will be notified shortly to move back the funds to the exchange.

Hoax only! After using HITbtc for many many times and trades I didn't have any problems similar to yours maybe it they have a difficulty on their system or just having some error or bugs. No need to post they have their costumer support here is the link: https://support.hitbtc.com/hc/en-us

I don't have any bad experience since I join Hitbtc. I don't lost any fund or something.
What is really your problem? You buy a coin at high price and then it drops suddenly and turn out the coin was abandon by dev, is that it?
if that's the case its not hitbtc it was the coin they list. Maybe hitbtc should be careful on what coin they are listing.

I don't have a problem with hitbtc if you have a problem. I think you can create ticket for your problem and that I know they always give great attention for it.

Please help expose HitBTC, they're scammers. If you're a Lawyer, please contact me regarding a CLASS ACTION against this company.



I, along with 1000's of others have been ripped off by their shady tactics. They leave DEAD coins on their site, and change the tickers to trick you into thinking its another good coin. Just google "HitBTC premine" They kept the dead coin "Premine" on their site, and took the ticker from Presearch to make people think the Dead coin Premine was Presearch! And, they made Premine the same price as Presearch! When you google this, you can see that people were complaining for months. They DID NOT have the official name next to the Ticker, this was a perfect crime from them, they made millions by selling a dead coin even months after they received many emails. Their official comment was that "People need to do their research first"  WE DID DO OUR RESEARCH! When buying a coin, I check 2 things; 1. The Ticker and 2. the price against CMC. Again, I say to you that HitBTC had not only changed the ticker, THEY ALSO MADE THE PRICE THE SAME as the coin that they were tricking people into thinking they were buying. (Dont take my word for it, just look this up)



And just now, I see they're still selling BAR.....see? TITANIUM BLOCKCHAIN asked them to cease selling the coin. Its dead. But they are till this Minuit still selling it to unsuspecting customers. Yes, you need to do your due diligence. But this exchange is just a new level of low.

Stay well clear of these criminals. I lost $2000. Im tired of hearing "This is the wild west" RUBBISH! We are moving forward on the space. Look at the main exchanges, even Kucoin has live help. Lets work together to rid the crypto space of criminals like Hit Job BTC. Yes, you have to be carefull in which projects you invest in. But you should not have to purchase from criminal exchanges.


If you google HitBTC scam, you can read about the 1000's of others who have been ripped off by these fraudsters.

Stay well clear of these criminals
