Topic: Tether: help? (Read 185 times)

Wait that's a thing? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you can't trade USDT on Bittrex... I will try that.
And yeah by the way it's actually weird that my account now results as "Basic", I'm trying to get rid of Bittrex for that reason tho, I would want to avoid getting my account locked.

There's hundreds of people complaining about similar issues. It seemed like one of the common threads was that Basic Verification stopped working for people who are not US citizens. It's interesting that you had your withdrawal limit increased to that of a Basic account, given the name mismatch error.


I don't understand. Why don't you just trade the USDT markets on Bittrex? I have the Bittrex:ETHUSDT chart open, and it's ticking away normally. Why do you need to involve Changelly or Shapeshift? USDT is always unavailable on Shapeshift, anyway. I've never seen it available once over the months that I've used their service. Not sure about Changelly.

Anyway, 1 USDT = $1.01 at the moment, so no reason to panic. I would be much more concerned about the status of your Bittrex account. The third party enhanced verification service is dodgy. Lots of people with locked accounts right now, unable to verify.

This tether mess is starting to look ugly.. I hope we dont find out that Bitfiniex is insolvent because of all this fake tether printed. Could be Mt Gox all over again, except this time it's going to affect many more users and investors...

I just made an account and USDT was "temporarily" shut down. Godfuckingdammit.

I second this. Hitbtc is just what you're looking for! Somehow I missed this...

Poloniex won't require you to attach a bank account as they are not trading in fiat.
HITBTC, Houbi, Binance also use Tethers, I would suggest you to open an account at Hitbtc which is very anonymous and just deposit your  tethers over there.
Converting the tethers to other crypto currency at HITBTC is an easy process.

I attach a list of exchanges that support tethers trading:

Good luck!

Hell yeah I will never use USDT again. I can't use poloniex though, cause I think I would have to add a bank account, which I dont. My only way to withdraw is literally convert it into another currency, but I can't do it... So far the only idea I've got is to use the official site to convert into BTC, but it's fucking nuts cause there would be huge fees most likely.

How about poloniex? They still seem to be using USDt. After you get this sorted (hopefully) I simply suggest you to stay as far from USDt as possible...

So a week ago or something like that something like 30M usdt were stolen, I was already thinking about cashing out my tether and this event made me feel like the big fuck I was expecting to happen was finally happening.
I go into my Bittrex account, and decide to convert my USDT into ETH through changelly.com, but I find out my account is not verified so I can't send shit. I did basic verification, I even used my real infos (which I'm not really happy about) and like I expected, they didn't find anything in the records as I am not a US Citizen. They invite me to do an enhanced verification, which is even worse than inserting your real infos, they even ask you to send them a selfie (fucking gay right?), I waited a day and sent them everything. After 10 minutes, they reply to me with "Name Mismatch", I look up the same error on internet and looks like it's a common issue so I email support as suggested. After something like a week still no reply, I log into my Bittrex account and apparently I was upgraded to basic user even thought I still get the same error when I click on basic verification, but apparently now I can withdraw 0.4 BTC which is perfect. I go on changelly, and as if I wasn't unlucky enough, I find out THEY FUCKING REMOVED USDT. So I go on shapeshift, I select usdt, and guess what? TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. You gotta be shittin me.
How do I go about this? What the heck do I even do now? $770 trashed in the bin I fucking knew it.
