Bitcoin Forum

Ive been seeing alot of people saying its scam and then other people saying its not.
So before i want to deposit anything to this exchange i want to know is it real do withdrawls work or does it take like really really long?
Please tell your experience,

Kind regards

Honestly it safe for now because i can withdraw my funds there right now. and i think thats why they are saying it is scam because i think they are worst support.. but honestly they are now adopting their support ticket..
You can try it with your self for now they are safe and legit..

Yobit is not a scam. I used it many time. and it is my primary source for exchanging and trading altcoin. the reason why people call it a scam is as above friend say they take so much time to response support tickets. and some time they never reply..
and the other reason is some altcoin wallets are not up to date and not active. if you deposit to those addresses then most likely you loose your coins... but this situation is only with few coins..

Overall Yobit is going well and about BTC deposit there is no any problem.

Don't deposit a big amount to their site to avoid dispute in the near future.

For the OP don't hear about this one, okay? you can see his trust summary.... :P ;D :D


For OP, the people are just wanna say if the yobit are scammer is just caused by some opinions above me, the support is so long for responding the tickets.
Totally if he are saying yobit are scam and why they're not making or opening a scam accusation against yobit?

I don't think that yobit is scam, because there are many people who trade altcoins on there every days. For an exchanger it is good growing and there are not problem when using it, although there are not guarantee it will be always good for long time.

i used yobit in the past and i can say its not a scam site though there are lots of people having problem on their site such because they have problem on some altcoin's wallet resulting to some withdrawals not getting processed and some coins got stuck for months. i am just not sure if yobit team fixed those problems now

Is it just me, or is yobit under a ddos attack? Try going to their website- all I get is "Ddos, 20-50 mins."

Here too, why there are people who are dedicated to harm others. Instead of looking for more useful things to do, attack the site of others. days ago, they attacked paypal ... oh god.

Yes it is being DDOS'd by someone and they are working on it i hope it will be fixed soon i have some altcoins there i don't want to lose them. Hope for the bset. No update on twitter handle i don't know whats going on.

they are some reasons why some people do that specially in this case i think the attack is from their users with stucked funds on their site and not able to withdraw it because yobit don't fixed some wallet (for altcoins). there are cases some weeks ago that i saw about coins got stucked for months on their site because of wallet in maintenance

I have been using yobit since a couple of months doing some altcoins trading there and i can tell there is no problem at all in their site and its not a scam,its a pretty good exchange for altcoins trading.Only some times withdrawals are delayed,otherwise that its all fine with yobit exchange.

From what is happening and what I am able to gather, Yobit is not scam but their support is the issue because even me I would raise the same concern having issues that involved money and want to get it solved as soon as possible only for support no where to be found and my issues not resolved then it calls for great concern which if they are serious about should take interest in even when issues arise they should communicate to the people in the most earliest way to douse panics.

It's not a scam. If ever it scams someone or have a major issue, you can look at YoBit's account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=406594) in this forum. It's safe to use right now but there are people complaining about not receiving their deposit mostly. Maybe it's just some bugs in the website, every website has a bug. The actual problem is that their support doesn't answer most of the time so they come in this forum about YoBit being a scam.

it's not a scam but they have a poor customer service. i once wanted to launch an alt coin  and it stayed in a queue for weeks and they didn't respond to my emails in time. I think that can be annoying sometimes but other than that they have an excellent platform.

It's not a scam exchange, but the fact that they add all kinds of shitcoins (and they already have tons of that) don't make them a good exchange either.

If you just stick to low amounts for your altcoin trading purposes, then not much is wrong with that, but if you're looking for a solid altcoin exchange, then head over to Poloniex.

Nope i don't so, yobit is running smoothly for many months or shall we say year and i can say that they running good as exchange business and they are quitely known by many traders on this industry, but the only problem for yobit is their bad support you can actually ask people regarding to this issue and im sure they will say similar problem just like what i am pointing at them, and if you want to do trades you better be carefull to do some arbitrage trades on those altcoins since they doesn't announce some wallet maintenance issue.

I don't have any experience with them but I don't think so. They look like a periodu service and they are running serious campaign so I don't beleive they would endanger their reputation just like that. The only thing I've heard that people on signature campaign have sometimes problems with payouts.

Yobit is currently paying its users but as we all know there were a lot of cautions by the other members on the community to also be careful on purchasing of the what they called sh*t coins on yobit which is rampant.

They aren't scammers. People just complain about them because they have many "dead" altcoins there on exchange. Coins that don't value anything, so useless for everyone.

And people say also they manipulate the coins prices to make profit for them. Traders think it's very hard to make profit on Yobit.
But for me, it's a good exchange, they are good employers and instead other people say, their support answer me in maximum 1 day.

No, Yobit is not a scam, not at all. But it is managed by a very poor management. It's extremely hard to trade with them, try it out. I switched to Poloniex for trading like a month back and felt extremely easy with them.

For me Yobit is considered to be a low tier altcoin exchange because of the sheer amount of compliments I heard from its users.

Just to name a few issues I found:

- people's deposits are not showing (mainly applies to trash level altcoins)
- customer support issues, unresolved tickets and overall sloppiness
- Yobit is Plagued By Withdrawal And Coin Listing Delays - source: http://themerkle.com/yobit-exchange-plagued-by-withdrawal-and-coin-listing-delays/ (http://themerkle.com/yobit-exchange-plagued-by-withdrawal-and-coin-listing-delays/)

Yobit continue to work well no matter how many complains about them. I think it is mainly addressed to their customer support which answer problems really late and this have caused that some people to call them scam.

Actually it is not. I can withdraw my coins right after I have done my trades there and the withdrawal process is very fast , at least in my case. I am talking about bitcoin, I don't know about altcoin as I only withdraw bitcoin.

As a member of their signature campaign i can say that their are not scam but they have worst support according to other members here comments also for my experience. but they are still fixing even they are delayed in support.

no yobit not scam exchanger site
iam witdhaw in there never problem
and volume transaction in yobit still is good, in altcoin exchanger is only under poloniex bitrex and c-cex
and all people follow signature campaign yobit still is always paid and no problem too

yobit work fine for me,yobit not scam :)

Not to degrade Yobit or anything, but any services or exchanges that seems to be reputable for the first years would either turn out to be an outright scam or continue delivering true service to their peers. Take for example, Mt. Gox, Mintpal, the list goes on and on and on. In the bitcoin world, people think that it's easier to pull up a stupid scam attempt since funds are hard to trace in the first place, so they are thinking that it's a safe haven for them to do such acts.

Yobit is a legit exchange site as of this day. You can read some news if Yobit turned out to be scammed exchanges.

It's not wrong if you will consider to deposit in this exchange. May I know what is your purpose why you will use Yobit exchange? I know you are going to trade but if in some cases, the coins you want listed on those much reputable altcoin trading exchange then choose them instead. Im not saying that other reputable exchange are safe too. Just giving you some ideas.

Yeah hopefully its up and running. I hope this will not happen again.


I hope that people will now just withdraw there funds from the exchange right now don't know when they turned out to scam us maybe its just an warning.

Everything online are risky if you just stay long your funds in any exchange sites.. yobit for me is not a scam they are still paying but they are halving some issue that can result of scandal here in our forum like delayed support and some pending withdrawals.. but they are still alive..
The worst problem that i know right now for yobit many shitcoins or scam coins are appearing every month..

For now, they aren't scam. If they are then you should see lots of response about Yobit being scammed 100%. But it doesn't mean they are safe also. So use at your own discretion as exchanges even a reputable one can be a fraud in the future.

You can play with them by depositing small or big amount but not storing big amount. Meaning you will do a regular withdrawals out of your trading earnings and not using it a storage purposes.

One thing I just don't like them is their poor support response. I don't know if it's changes already.

Yobit is legit exchange, but people say it is a scam because they accept all coins including scam coins, and they do not delist the old or unused coins, in addition to the repeated maintenance cases for some wallets.
In regards to deposit, withdraw, and security level, Yobit is perfect in my opinion, and I sometimes use it for some trades.

As far as I know Yobit is legit exchange and currently paying.Here Yobit except all coins even scam coin i thing this is the main factors that's why some people say it scam but It's not true.Yobit are not a scam,People have different issues regarding with yobit still i have  no problem.

I still used yobit but i am not really active in that trading site, as far as i used i never got any problem with this site, the withdrawal and deposit is okay, just an advice, don't store too many coin in that site

You may heard issues about them because their support totally lacks customers priority. They fail to resolve issues of some customers resulting to an arrising issue against them. So far yobit is a trusted exchabge site. What scammy about them is the coin they lists in their exchange. Most are just pump and dump shits.

Wow, are you sure about that? wanna for launch your coin, dude? a lot of the yobit's member are need waiting for several days or weeks just get responses from the obit's support and this needs a lot of improvements in my mind.

I ve been using them for over a year now and have never had any issues with the website. There were couple of situations when some particular wallet for undergo maintenance and it would be offline for a day or two but generally, no issues as all. Can you share your problem with the community, why do you think they re a scam?

People   have different  issues  regarding with  yobit  but  i could  really say that  they are  not  total scam because   i have  no problem regarding  on depositing   and withdrawing  funds on their website  sometime  there were  technical  problems  but they  able   fix  it  in  no time.  One thing  i could  say with them   is   about on  their support which  somehow a really an issue for me  because they  dont intend  to answer any  mails  or tickets  if   you do have a  queries  regarding  on their site.

Yobit are not a scam, they have been around for a while and I have used them a lot and have never had any issues with them, they are one of the exchanges first to add pretty much all coins when they are released which sometimes is a good thing, obviously don't be putting too much trust in any exchange and always bear in mind that anyone can go scam at anytime.

I think the issue regarding those problems said are similar since the issue i've seen posted at scam accusation thread and their very own threads are regarding to floating balances and poor support of yobit devs, and that totally suck if you can eancounter some troubles their,

But as you said i can't call them scam either since they are running smoothly as exchangers, but i fell annoyed for their scamcoin selection since i can't trust my money to do trades on that matter.

Don't mind that I'm wearing Yobit signature,but in my experience since I start trading on Yobit I never had bad experience on Yobit,my deposits and withdrawals are all fast if they are a scam site,then why coin devs prefer to do their ICO in Yobit.

I don't have complaints about Yobit either, but you can also question why these ICO's are not on the bigger exchanges sherlock ;D

for that issue well yobit is quite good since i don't encounter any bad experience regarding to that thing but surely those people who claiming that they got compromise is by those missing balance and the support issue, and that is the most common problem what i've encounter at the most when reading various threads here, but for saying yobit is scam well i don't agree for now since they are in good shape at the most of this time, im sure you are annoyed also for those shitcoins out there since i was bit annoyed for that when i see they listed some shitcoins again.

In my experience in yobit they are just delayed on support or like other said its worst support than the other exchange sites. .
But they are still active and running.. i am not halving any issue regarding to their withdrawal maybe sometimes there is some bugs for their site because some users have slow internet.

i don't think that yobit is scam because i don't have bad experience with them since almost one year with them. but sometimes they make pending for the deposit and withdraw and need longer than usual and i have this experience too and i think yobit itself need to get maintain their site and make their member is safe while they are trading on yobit. and i think its normally and i think if we have sometime an usual, we can send ticket to their support system to ask our problem.

I just ever heard if yobit are not charging a deposit and withdrawal fee, as for you know if the yobit just charge for the miner tax and not for itself's tax, so they're depending from the task of the trading, just taking 0,x% from a margin trading.

I agree with you, the  only thing  i could   able to complain from them  is regarding  on their support which  they dont really answer you afterall  but  overall they  still running and  operate  and   smooth transaction at all regarding on deposits and withdrawals.

I had experienced some problem with yobit but they are legit and they really do pay. I had some experience that I am not able to open their site.

And that is for sure their own problem with their server but with other things that can lead to make yobit a scam, I think there's no incident with it.

I just don't know if there are really some incident with some users.

No matter how   yobit site  would be down sometimes  but still they could able to fix it and  continue   to  operate. I dont really have problems  with them  regarding  on transactions  as  others said here  their  problem  is   about  on their support that  they never answers  on  users queries.

I do not have a problem so far with Yobit, maybe because I am rarely trade on Yobit. The coin I trade most of the time not listed on Yobit at this moment.
So far the withdrawal and deposit for the altcoins quite fast and I am like that ;D

No, i never think if Yobit is a scam exchange site, their site just having too much "sh*tcoins"

You know, Lutpin was almost gave negative feedback to all users who still promoting Betcoin.Ag, and you're wearing scam signature, aren't you?

OH!, Look what i found here! what do you think about these https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1322261.0 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1517648 ? Any words from you?

I have never had problems with withdrawals or deposits, and i trade well known coins. They had support problems, but as far as I know they solved that issue. If you read all posts you can only say that almost every single of them is saying yobit is not scam, so you can lock this thread i think you got your answer ;)

We can't say that YoBit is a scam. They pay their signature participants here, even though there are delays sometimes. They haven't ran away as well. They don't scam people it's just that there are problems in the deposits sometimes and you won't receive your altcoin in your altcoin wallet in YoBit. The problem is that they don't care if have a problem like that. Everything is automated and they wouldn't manually go take a look at your transaction, sadly.

No Yobit is not a scam I can still withdraw my funds from it. If you experience a problem with Yobit I believe they a support that who can help you regarding what's your issue with the site.

The way to tell if an exchange is in trouble is that they suddenly hike the fees for withdrawing. This is what happened to Cryptsy a good year before they died.

As far as I can tell there have been no problems withdrawing from Yobit and their withdrawal fees are normal.

Actually the worst part of yobit is that support brother, there are lots of tickets unanswered for many weeks even they don't give good support to altcoin devs and if dev request for code change they have to wait for many weeks unanswered which is quite hard for any coin dev same goes to all the users who have problems and opened support ticket.

However i have also traded there and have got all my withdraws processed with occasional manual ones but i don't trust much in them so better not to trade higher amount there.

You are right with this, their support is the cause for making the people to think that they are a scam, their have a very poor support.

But regardless with their payment, they are paying. But the thing is when you got problems with your payment, then don't hope for the support.

They want you to solve it with your own.

You guys are correct. Their support will not even boter replying on an urgent support request even when you send tem a message here in forum. I have still one pending ticket about my account ad it's been 3 months already but I don't reveive any response from their team. I am hoping they can fix this since I usually trade in them.

Their support actually sucks  because they  dont even bother  to  answer  any  of it which  is  really  frustrating sometimes  especially when  its  urgent. I do  trade also  on  yobit and also  thing  that  we  must be  aware  on their site  is there are  lots  of coins  on their  site are total dead coins   but there are still some coins  does  have potential. Regarding  on their  money transfers  transaction  everything  is smooth and  no problems  with it. The  support thing  only  that  i could really complain of.

Increasing withdrawal fees is not something done by exchanges in problems as people will cash out their coins no matter what.

Even if the withdrawal fee is set at 0.005BTC (which is insanely high), then people would pay that fee in order to get their coins out of that exchange. It's better to lose just 0.005BTC instead of all your coins.

Most exchanges in problems will massively delay withdrawals and come up with all kinds of excuses as to why things are slow.

If that's the case for quite a long period of time, then you'll need to start worrying.

I don't think so. Their signature campaign is full and popular, accepting only older members though. That campaign would have been taken down off this forum already if it was fake, but it's not. I have also seen many members there talking to each others on the chat, some of them were old members. Don't worry, most of the websites that have been here, on the forum for a long time are legit.

apart from a crappy support they don't even maintain the site, they just add new coins and pump multiple of them everyday with fake orders.

and i found out recently that the daily trade volume on YOBIT is 80% fake, 15% signature campaigners withdrawing or playing around with their dust payment and 5% others.

p.s. is there anything wrong with your "space key" i keep seeing your comments with lots of extra spaces, it is a bit annoying :)

this is the most trusted exchange or trading site because i had never heared about its scam . i am regular user of the yobit and made deposit and also withdraw .
since during deposite it takes time for two confirmation but when you will try  to withdraw this will give instantly .

I wouldn't agree about yobit being the most trusted exchange site. Yes they seem pretty trusted for you but don't forget those huge exchange site that holds million of dollars in crypto and that is for sure not yobit.

Well maybe not the most trusted, but its just trusted enough to use as trading site. I've use it before when I'm still on yobit signature campaign, all I've earned in that campaign, I used to trade and never had any problem, its just that it has the worst support I don't think this time if they're chnage already about there support issues, but totally I trust that site.

For the 24-hour volume ranking of exchanges I think yobit is already enough for trading in them. and in fact, some people with the total of 1million dollar volume are trusting them.
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/

A lot of wallet maintannence going on that creates artifical prices and they can go on for ages before resolved. Also unresponsive and irresponsible support in general. Their YOVI coin is obviously a ponzi. I'd call it a scam, yes.

They are really  legit  and  ive been there  for a  long time for now  and  i have  no problems  regarding  on  deposits  and  withdrawals   even if  there are  problem sometimes  but still they could able  to fix  it  in no time, troll box is always active,  one thing  i could  complain  is their support which  they seldom reply  to their users 
which is  not  good  but overall they are  good and  paying and regards  to trading  you could choose wide variety of  coins.

no offense but you are either a fool for believing those numbers or you have never been on yobit before. pay a visit to the site that you are advertising in your signature space next time and then take a look at the bottom left side of your screen aka the list of the coins, then click on the one that is flashing fast.

now take a look at the orders history and with a little bit of thinking you can realize how fake the volumes are.

I don't know if I will going to believe with those order histories on yobit, but if that's the case that they are just faking it then they will turn into scam.

But base on what I can see for the people who are using yobit, only the support is always the problem for them. There is no problem for the payment

I too think yobit is not a scam because I just checked it even today and there was no any issue with the service and have not seen or read any scam issues about their service for the past two weeks. Just check on the site to be sure of the answer.

yobit in my experience is still the best. because I make a deposit and withdrawal is very normal, and smoothly

Every one have different view because I have few deposites and all are not showing as I submit ticket the reply from yobit we need some time because wallets in maintenance mode sorry for this inconvenience its not happen one time its happening mostly 

This is happen for me sometimes not mostly but we know they are worst support but they are still active and i still trade in yobit..
And i hope that it will not be the same as bitfinex in the future..

In my view they need to settle things because I am stuck its more then 1 month and I cannot do any thing right now just wait and wait its really frustrating they need to do some quick work

I'm unable to access Yobit this morning due to a DNS error. Is anybody else experiencing the same issues?

It's DNS related,

   Domain Name: YOBIT.NET
   Registrar: REGISTRAR OF DOMAIN NAMES REG.RU LLC
   Sponsoring Registrar IANA ID: 1606
   Whois Server: whois.reg.com
   Referral URL: http://www.reg.ru
   Name Server: No nameserver

I've used their old IP address in hosts and website works well, and I was able to withdraw some coins, so it's technical problem I think

Ex.
with administrative permission edit hosts in

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc>

and add line

104.20.0.170   yobit.net

I've send them ticket about problem, and so far got answer


from their twitter

Oops! I am suppose to comment that I don't have problems with accessing Yobit an hour ago and then I realized I cannot access it now. Is this the first time it happened to them or many times already/ Sorry I am a newbie in Yobit and I don't have much time to search their history here in Bitcointalk.

yobit has worst support i have ever met, also many of alt coin wallets have withdraw problems often, but no one isnot fixing them. also i am 98% sure their dice game isnot fair, so you must decide yourself, is this site scam or not and  does it worst to use youbit

good luck

Could be a DDoS attack on the Yobit DNS server  - as for me I'm having DNS resolution failures.

If you add the following entry to the windows hosts file it works =) (make sure you remove it later though)

As By today on 31 oct 2016 at 11.00AM GMT. I am not able to access yobit site. Showing error as This site can’t be reached

yobit.net’s server DNS address could not be found.

I am currently able tocheck some updates where Admin have informed to use domain yobit.io but is this safe to use ?

IP for yobit.io comes from a similar IP address to yobit.net - so could be safe. The message comes from an official source then should be safe (so long as it was not hacked) - you could always try a password change so you dont type your password into yobit.io to be on the safe side.

For me, I just changed my host file to one of yobits IP addresses to circumvent the attack on the DNS server.

All those IP addresses belongs to cloudflare

I have problems accessing yobit too.

I'm not sure if i can trust yobit.io.

How much time do you think will be needed to have yobit.net fixed?

I'm using now yobit.io, IMHO You can trust as far as You trust yobit.net

Source: https://twitter.com/YobitExchange

Today I try few time but every time have this problem now worrying about my coins need to withdraw as soon as possible if they will able to settle wallets which are not working for long time

I'm with the same issue here, I can't access the exchange and the Yobit icon stays in gray here (as the Bitcointalk forum was some time ago). I think it's the same problem or anything very similar (I hope so). Sooner or later the site will be back and we can make our transactions without problem.  :)

If you are still having problems chnage your host file (see higher up in the thread), Yobit is up - but its DNS server is being attacked. Bitcointalk is being DDoS attacked, there is some massive effort to disrupt the Bitcoin services network this week.

I tried yobit.io.

The bitcoin transaction fee seems to be 50k satoshi, i remember that about one month ago it was 20k satoshi.... Is a yobit.io issue or the fee as been raised also on yobit.net?

Someone knows?

Thanks.

No, I made a withdrawal on Yobit.net yesterday and the fee was also 50k satoshi. I usually withdraw in DOGE to reduce the fee - but in this case needed to transfer to a BTC only account...

actually no one exchange sites are scam
 yobit is best site and also a simple site to make trade . thia exchange have a very simple site map and you can handle your coin and altcoin easily .
during deposite you need to wait atleast 2 confirmation but during withdrawal it will give instantly .
but here i will tell second thing that is the domain name of this exchange is changed from .net to .io ( but i habe not logged in the my account from.the time when i got the new e-mail for change of domain name .

I can remember that the fee with yobit.net already increased to 50k satoshis before it shift to their new domain.

Wow really starmman you able to withdraw with yobit.net yesterday? Well congratulations to you because I can't even access yobit.net since yesterday and until now.

Because they are already into yobit.io and that's legit because of yobit news in email.

Yobit hasn't scam anyone but that site is very sketchy poor support with lots of issues.There behavior sometimes makes you think that they're scam.I don't use that site anymore.Sometimes people face technical problem while visiting their site and they have shown 0 Interest to solve problems Real quick.

I Recommend you to use Bittrex or polonix for trading.

The problem with yobit.net is a DNS error - I changed my host file to point to the yobit.net cloudflare IP address in order to circumvent the error.

True,  IP from  yobit.net is the same  on  the new  yobit.io, i could really  say  that  its  a legit  one and  not a  phishing site. There nothing to worry about on the  new  domain  of  yobit. Even thought  yobit  does  have  issues  but  its  not a scam for me    , deposits and   withdrawals  are okay.

I too think yobit cannot be completely termed as scam, just that they have very poor custom support as I have experienced and I heard it many times from other users here. One other problem is that their service is constantly down all the times, even today I found it down. Hope, they will resolve this issue sooner.

I agree, quite a few of the exchanges don't have great support either - Yobit hasn't run off with anybodies money, so can't be classified directly as a scam - a lot of the coins that are hosted on the site can be classed as scammy. Make sure you carefully research before investing in a coin on there that you've never heard of. Lots of profits can be made - but the same also goes for losses...

Finally it's working again for me... When things like that happen we feel a bit afraid. But as Bitcointalk had the same issue these days I was convinced that Yobit was having the same issue and would back any moment. I hope all sites that are suffering with those DDoS attacks can defense themselves better against this plague.

well the running away part always happens once and when it happens it is already too late. do you think Cryptcy was a scam. you can check the old topics about them and see how much people trusted them and were using their site but they did run away once and for all!

besides there are surely some shady stuff and so many data manipulation are going on with Yobit and you can't deny it.
all I say is that why trust Yobit while there are other better places exist!

IMO Cryptsy wasn't intended to be a scam - it just became one by not being as secure as it should have been and BigVern being dishonest when the finds were stolen (Bitfinex did a much better job at being transparent). This is the trouble with unregulated and non PCI compliant exchanges. The only exchange I know of which is PCI complaint is CEX.IO - and they have limits to their trading imposed that make it difficult to trade.

I have some funds in Yobit, but 100% of which gained from the sig campaign. I tend to transfer around 50% out into other exchanges or private storage.

Yes it seems that yobit.net and yobit.io are just the same and there is no phishing at all. Maybe yobit is just trying to back up their files.

And it went successfully so for those people who are doubting about this, don't contact their support, you'll just going to become old while waiting their help.

The answer is already here, they are both legit sites of yobit.

So Yobit is down again? Can someone please tell me if they have an official thread here in bitcointalk?

No one have answer of this question but if you need some update you can check this official thread of yobit https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914975.0

For me it's working fine. Sometimes the site stop working and back after. They look to be having some issues with site stability.

Just back some time later and try to access Yobit again and you will be able to do it.

Wallet status: Maintenance
Support is sleeping... for days )

This is a common issue with yobit. I've seen this many times with many coins. If you pay probably they could sink back again....

Support is very slow, and sometimes it will never answer your questions. I have pending support tickets since a lot of months.

This is scandalous.

I signed up to Yobit today as I saw the price was very good for Decred, and I believe Decred will grow significantly prior to tomorrow's v1.0 launch. My bad I haven't read the reviews here beforehand.

After I bought my DCR on Yobit, I found out I cannot withdraw them (as the withdrawal for this coin was "temporarily off"). Great. So I'm opening a support ticket. I start searching this forum to get a feeling of how reliable this exchange proved to be in the past, and I hear people saying they have unanswered support tickets dating months back. Other people claim they've been scammed.

Well then, I'm just gonna buy back BTC and withdraw from Yobit. As soon as I placed the order, the bots took over and the price instantly decreased massively, without my order being executed. Awesome. All in all, I lost 15% before getting my BTC back from Yobit.

You've been warned.

I had been using yobit for 10 months, and by that period of time up to now I don't see any problem like what others always says that yobit is a scam. It maybe Yobit accepting new altcoin to their exchange and they don't care if that coins is a scummy or not but not the yobit itself is doing scam to the traders. because if that is true, perhaps yobit now is not existing anymore.

Yobit brands itself as a currency exchange service, but it won't let you withdraw certain types of currencies after you've purchased them, without any prior warning of this being the case.

So you're stuck with keeping your freshly bought alt currency on their servers (which defeats the very purpose of a cryptocurrency), or you gotta exchange it back to BTC in order to withdraw it (which defeats the purpose of using the exchange in the first place).

Rumors about yobit lasts as yobit itself, I pointed that more then once. Since I was in their campaign for month or maximum two, there I encountered with trading for the first time. They can be offline, their support need days and weeks to respond, delay in paying for campaing (blue button doesn`t work is most repetead sentence in their thread), their dices are rigged 100% , in scam accusation section many topics are about yobit but they are still here, how to explain that?
I moved to poloniex, now I trade there, much safer place, and more positive then negative feedback what is important.

Use Poloniex... Ten times better, trust me.

It felt to me like I moved from hell to paradise when I moved from Yobit to Poloniex.

Ive been laughing when I do read your comment at its really real talk pal the experience between both exchange is really far from each other and you will surely feel the difference when you both tried the exchange. Support is very important which you can really say the difference because yobit doesn't ever responds to its users while poloniex is very active and it terms of service poloniex still number one for me.

Definitely - scam

New ticket. Translation -
19 days... ...Coins are not credited to the account on a repeatedly confirmed transaction and there is no response from support for reasons.

Yobit is total shit noobs ) you need ballz to use it.

Whatever your "balls" are made, the support of the pure-Chinese exchanges will crush them upon the wall. Great Wall. ;D

I confirm: although with a considerable delay, but the coins are credited.
I apologize for the overly harsh words.

You be the judge:

Yobit allows you to buy coins then change the wallet to "maintenance mode" for the whole year.  This prevents you to move your coins to your own wallet to let it stake.  This is call manipulation.  So is it a scam?

for sure it is

That sounds suspiciously like my experience with Cryptsy before Vern
ran off to China with everyone's money. Anytime an exchange starts
not responding to support tickets, or shutting down their trollbox to
prevent the word spreading, is the time to get out if you can. I try not to
keep anything at all on exchanges, I learned my lesson from Bitclockers
and Mt Gox and Deepbit and Cryptsy and (maybe) BTC-e and (maybe) some
other one. Fool me 3 times or more shame the fuck on me, right?

But yeah, anyway. Keep your coins close, or risk them.

I quit polo about 4 months ago. There is a better user support on other exchanges.

It depends. If the coins you are looking to withdraw are in maintenance mode, and the coin in question, or better said, its network doesn't experience any difficulties, then it's definitely shady.

Especially if they happen to remain in maintenance mode for such a long period of time. If it were just a few days, or a week at most, things would be different, but as per you described things, this isn't okay.

Abusing their position for manipulation purposes? Definitely. Scam? I can't say yes or no ~ my thought is more in between.

i don't have any problem in yobit for deposit and withdrawal, maybe when you want to withdraw, the wallet in yobit is maintenance so you can not withdraw like usual. i can say this because i have seen many times the wallet in yobit in maintenance and this makes people can not withdraw their coin. but for saying scam, i don't know and if you have send ticket to them, i think the only you need to do is waiting until they reply your ticket. i hope your problem can be solve.

we call yobit scam, because their admins need several months to solve any usual problems. they are not answering on any ticket and they dont care about their users.

when you have money somewhere and cannot withdraw your money for several month, it calls scam. so i advice all, stay away from this site or you will have many problems.

good luck to all...

Yobit business practice:

Jail your coin -->  Coin price dropped to 1 satoshi --> Yobit bought all the coins at 1 satoshi  -->  Open up the wallet -->  price went up to market price -->  Yobit sold all your coins at market price and make a ton load of money -->  Jail your coin again   ... rinse and start over again
the SEC should investigate Yobit for price manipulation and jail all the owners for doing this.

I deposited ETH and it took 12 hours.

900 Confirmations and it is still not showing in the Balance

Yobit is one of the worst exchange

Still waiting on a confirmation after 5 days. Asked them to cancel the withdrawal, told me it was impossible, Every other exchange i use has backups for this kind of thing. No excuses. If your here to make money and not loose it, do not use Yobit in any way. forgot those crappy little coins that no other exchanges want but you think is interesting, or the high prices compared to other exchanges.  It's pure con. Does anyone know the people behind it?

I don't think Yobit is a scam, but I know they need to improve on their service delivery. sometimes their turn around time is not as fast as users want it to be. they probably need more hands to respond to complaints and provide feedback to enquiries in the shortest possible time. so generally Yobit is not scam.

Maybe it's not a scam... maybe it's more like lending a herion addict on the street $50 and expecting him to return it the next day. Maybe it's more like that....

So, 22 days no answer from support. Not enrolled 6.545407 ETH on the balance sent to the smart contract will require manual acceptance.

Admin, HELP!

Keep spamming them , they will return it once you start making noise on the nets. That's how they operate, they make it difficult , they don't steal. They just hope people will give up...Personally, taking a persons funds and making it difficult for them to access is a scam. If they had these known issues. they would have hired someone to fix them... This has been going on for months and they are making big money of the trades. Let's just call a spade a spade. It's a scam.

You are right they are not scam they are not taking this all seriously its very simple they need to hire someone who take care all this and give good service because if they start from now still they can do very good business because they have potential but currently they are not taking this all as business just trying peoples give up

No but it is full of scamcoin so I can only say indirectly that Yobit is scam. Their maintenance on wallet address gets me annoyed everytime but they are still a good exchange for arbitrage opportunities.

Probably. Their pump and dump bots that they even managed to sell coins that are already dead. This is what I always heard from other traders so you must be very careful on choosing your coins there.
