This (+rest of the post)

There's no info on who owns the business stated on the website. I believe it's illegal in EU (not sure about US) to run any kind of online business without stating such info.

I would discourage anyone from using this site until they get this sorted out.

now i am nearly really finished with this suspicious service

1. issue: 21.05.2014
only ~ 13.34 % of my EURO-withdraw was sent to my bank account
the rest of that money after e-mail-conversation - the same day - so far so good

2. issue: 26.05.2014
my BTC-deposit is not shown at my account - for now 23 hours
first e-mail-conversation - yesterday after 6 btc-confimations with the details of the transaction
second e-mail-conversation - today with smooth gox-like sentences that i will be informed when the issue is solved

hey wake up now - where is the real problem to show up a BTC-deposit at my account?

i have had some very bad experiences with MtGox in the past - i don't like repeating it!

[EDIT: for some reason the comprehensive reply to my concerns above by hitbtc was deleted again. Looks like we are exactly where we were before. not cool.]

thank you for your reply.

I am very glad, that you have adopted this approach to questions raised.
As stated before my intent is not in the least to insult or attack hitbtc.com, but to get answers in regard to questions which are fundamental to my decision to trust you with my money.
As the evolution of this thread has shown I am not alone with this sentment and for this I must applaude your public and more important comprehensive answer.

Concerning your handling of deposits, withdrawals, and the technical aspects of your platform. I never was given reason to doubt your professionalsim. On the contrary. In my view you are doing an excellent job at those subjects.  I hope you can manage to keep up the standards you have established.
I will gladly look into the details for the companies you have provided and continue business with you if what I find fits my risk propensity.

For the time being I wish you good luck with your ventures and hope for you to uphold this open approach.

HerrAndreas.

hello hitbtc,

So are there any news on the legality [EDIT to avoid confusion in terminology:] legal status of the company behind hitbtc.com?

Unfortunately you did not manage to answer the concerns raised on the previous pages of this thread about who actually runs hitbtc.com (and who could be contacted, if for one reason or another your website went offline).

It is ofcourse the case with other exchanges (just taking btc-e.com as an example), that traders have come to terms with the fact that they do not know who they are sending money (or btc) to when they deposit to their trading accounts. If those exchanges went offline due to technical issues, bad management, or straight out fraud (all three things have happened before) users stand a high chance of being permanently parted from any funds they would have held at such an exchange. This a risk which not few users are willing to take for the sake of anonymity or chances of profit.

Hitbtc.com has taken the approach of presenting itself as a legitimate operation and has always claimed to be run by a registered company (originally ULLUS CORP from Panama and later on by HIT Technologies K/S from Denmark) even bearing a license as financial institution in Hong Kong. This approach is something I consider to be an extremely good and most welcome idea because it brings the bitcoin economy within the scope of more potential users who might be scared to send money to someone they do not know anything about.  

BUT (there is always a big BUT), reality (hard and publicly accessible) facts do not seem to live up to these claims.

1. HIT Technologies K/S is not in the danish company register (as has been pointed out by another poster before) and therefore not a registered company in Denmark. absolutely no arguing about that.

2. beneficiary of deposits is anyway ullus corporation in Panama ("ullus" is btw latin for "any"). So that is where customers money is kept.

3. trade volume on hitbtc.com has been subject to many speculations and fuel to rumors, as it seemed completely immune to the market until the 14th/15th of may when it dropped from a steady daily 1000 btc to about a third of that (Just saying "it is normal" when it is most obviously everything but is not an adequate reply).



This is not an "unfriendly attack" on your organisation (as you did reply to one user who asked for information before).
This is not asking you to unveil any secret (aka non-public) internal organisational details.
This is just asking you to live up to the expectations you yourself have created in the first place.


p.s.: please do not answer by posting your compliance or support email and telling me to ask you those questions in the privacy of an one-on-one email conversation. I did exactly that last week and apart from your support person saying that the issues raised by me were sent to the management nothing happened at all.

Please just answer by answering.

Dear EvilDave,

We are going to pick our next trading currency in next few weeks from the top of the voting and add it to exchange. But voting will continue again and again and we will add every top new coin every 2-3 weeks.

Hitbtc guys/girls:

I'm EvilDave, one of the marketing/conference team from NXT:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-blockchain-platform-proof-of-stake-official-587007

We met some of your representatives at the Bitcoin2014 conference last weekend, (which was brilliant, btw) and had a little chat.
We're definitely impressed by hitbtc and would love to have a listing for NXT on hitbtcs fiat markets, so NXT<>EUR/USD.

As you might have noticed, NXT (together with Blackcoin and DOGE) have been rocking your voting page:
https://hitbtc.com/vote
and I'm curious as to what plans you guys have for listing new crypto's on hitbtc ?

I'm all about the co-operation within crypto these days, so I see the massive interest in you from all 3 crypto's as a good thing, and I'd like to see all of the top 3 voted currencies listed on hitbtc, to be honest.
That just makes the potential markets that much bigger for everyone and we all win.

Anyhow, could you give us some information about your plans ?
I have spoken to one of your project representatives by phone a couple of days ago, and so I understand that you are all very busy right now.

Keep up the good work, mate, love your exchange.

EvilDave.
