https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unauthorized-login-on-bittrex-2019756 (users complaining about unauthorized logins to their account). Bittrex has been many times exposed to such hacks.

Bittrex are quite responsible in that they automatically make you verify all withdrawals with your email.

The problem is that people can still trade with your funds for pump and dumps unless you enable 2FA. That was done on Poloniex a lot, and for all we know that could be Poloniex's fault.

I think it's not FUD,because one of my friend experieced same problem like him and i am not only him and my friend had a problem similiar to this.

But you're still talking about Bittrex forcing people to go through verification or not handling people's login data well enough, rather than actual scams.

This is not about Bittrex scamming anyone. There is no evidence of that. So it's FUD to post it in Scam Accusations and pretend that Bittrex is suddenly unsafe.

If they have an issue with users holding over $1000 in their exchange, they should ask for verification first only rather than locking accounts and asking users to submit proof. They don't respond quickly to tickets and it's almost like a threat for users who have over $1000 in their exchange to wait until their verification is complete. Liqui has no proof whatsover and where is bittrex considered secure?

When KMD's decentralised exchange takes off this will be a problem of the past

What is this exactly? I haven't heard anything about this one.

I think he's talking about the altcoin Komodo. Any decentralised exchange is great IMO, but it's always going to be a struggle for them to get enough volume, especially when they're such a new concept to traders.

Attention all users of Bittrex. You will be soon faced with mandatory full ID verification, without any warning !!
Even for ridiculous amounts of BTC !!
Take appropriate action today !!

This appears to be FUD. I withdrew about 1 BTC worth of an altcoin from my unverified account a couple of days ago and it happened within a few minutes. No problems at all.

While you're probably genuine about your problem, you need to calm down and approach the situation neutrally. This is not a scam accusation, it's a shady activity accusation, and even then you should be trying to talk with Bittrex staff first. Maybe you've done something which they find suspicious.

I think it's not FUD,because one of my friend experieced same problem like him and i am not only him and my friend had a problem similiar to this.it's very simple for my friend to fix this problem,sent your document and then follow up.after two or three they will give you an answer it's accepted or rejected.

But,somebody ever made a thread like this and when he completed what they want,they're freezing his account because he's from iran or mesir or something like that.it's not scam activity but it's more likely shady activity.

And about 1000$ assets and more in account then you need to do a verification,how about go to setting and find verification ? I found it there back then

Have you tried joining their Slack and speaking to their staff instead of just spreading FUD here. I'm sure they have a valid reason to ask for I.D. verification. They are U.S. based so they have to follow A.M.L. regulations etc.

(a) You are accusing me of spreading FUD about Bittrex ?
(b) You are implying that US businesses are more compliant than businesses operating in other parts of the world ?

You either work for Bittrex, or for the US goverment Cheesy

(just joking)

It is starting to look like FUD to me:

Just contact them on Slack. They are very helpful and I'm sure they have a valid reason to ask for verification. Usually exchanges have an automated system that flags transactions due to various reasons.

I am not saying that U.S. businesses are more compliant but they have stricter laws and regulations compared to other countries.

This is exactly what happened:

Account had 0 balance
I deposit < 1 BTC
I can not make any transaction, account locked
I successfully complete basic+phone authentication which according to their policy allows 3 BTC withdrawal /per day
But this is not enough for them, I have to go through full ID verification (enhanced verification they call it)

There was no warning, no indication, before the deposit of funds, about the account being locked
So what guarantee do I have that the "locked status" actually existed before my deposit? None ...

That is shady, very shady behavior

Hi,
Unfortunately I do not see anywhere on their site mentioning the 1000$ limit that you mention

All I see is:
https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/215282838-Frequently-asked-questions-about-account-verification
https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/231701788-Verification-Withdraw-Limits-and-Troubleshooting

My account balance is < 1 BTC

You have been warned !!

Quote from: DaMut on July 14, 2017, 12:38:47 PM

How much bitcoin do you have in there ?
As far as i know,if your account have an assets more than 1000$ you need to do a verification,but i guess it might be not your problem? What is the problem ? All you need to do is verification right ? I dont have problem with that,might be for the sake of their investor because a lot of problem and hack happened that's why they did it.and i think bittrex more safer than other exchanger it's good they locked it and asked you verification.how about other exchanger ? They locked your account without asked anything from you(permanent lock) which one is better ?

And yeah a lot of problem happened recently in every exchanger

I am facing this situation for <1 BTC account balance

Exchanges sometimes mention that they have the right to ask about documents when they want , yes it sucks but this is how things go
anyways at least their support is kinda good , your problem should be solved in short time if you send your ID
bittrex isn't perfect , but at this time it's the best exchange site
