Bitcoin Forum

I just happened to Deposit amount of 3 BTC to my bittrex address and when i log in to the bittrex after 7 confirmation on blockchain to trade and i find that wallet is disabled for bip91.
So will i be able to recover funds or they are gone?

Certainly not gone. Bittrex has a liability to honor your deposit and will probably do so soon. There might be some delay as they're now requiring more confirmations for transactions for security reasons but your money is most definitely not gone.

Read the upper left hand side of the forum page. It says:

Due to BIP91, it would starting now be prudent to require 5 times more confirmations than usual before trusting transactions.

So it's normal and you 99.9999% won't lose your funds. Bittrex is just taking preacautions to avoid bad situations. Anyway, we shouldn't perform transactions until the bip91 completed.

You can send a support ticket to bittrex if you don't want to wait for 1 week in delima. Like most of member have told you, I am also quite sure that they will credit your bitcoin when they will re-enable their bitcoin wallet.

why did they disable wallets now, while all other exchanges only require more confirmations for deposit?!
I also have many funds locked at bittrex now, cause they not even sent an email to inform that they will block the whole wallet since today...

Get ready for such glitch in mean time of BIP91 activation. Estimated time to activate it is 2 weeks but it may take more than that. Currently its Bittrex but soon more will join. Better decrease transactions in these days. Your money will successfully reach your Bittrex address but you won't see it until Bittrex update the wallet. So better wait and watch, and most importantly say no to trading for few days. :D

UPDATE:
Bittrex just enabled wallets again and increased confirmation time for deposits, just like every other exchange.

edit:
When do you guys think most exchanges will disable withdrawal and deposit? 30th july? or earlier/later ?

Great they changed their mind because its still to early to freeze the withdrawals and deposits however since change is coming we will certainly come to that.

what i'm intrigued is how come op doesn't know about the announcement of bittrex which he state in the op?. if other exchanges comes to that they should make their

announcement mandatory to read for all users like a pop-up when you log-in or something like the news part in this forum.


its still okay to trade lol. what you should take extra precaution is depositing and withdrawing which should have 5times more confirmation than usual for it to be trusted.

if you're gonna trade deposit as soon as possible but certainly don't keep btc's on exchanges.

As wallets are enabled again it seems like it's just extra precaution. In the end deposits will be processed as normal from what I seems so no worries.

That's a hard one man. Only bittrex will be the only one who can answer your problem.
But best case scenario is you will get your deposit once they lift the disability of bitcoin deposits.
I don't think they would not let you have your deposit, it's just a crazy time right now for bitcoin users.

Because of OP' experienced, it's now clear for everyone to at least minimize your bitcoin transaction while August is approaching and stopped involving large amount for the moment. Although coins will be delivered on trader's respective account at trading exchanges in the end, it's way more better if we at least reduced our worries for a lost funds during the process.

As far as recommendations is concerned, at least on the eve of August 1st, stopped doing transactions for now. For me, I will make my final set of transactions tomorrow.

I use doge to transfer bitcoin to exchangers because it is cheaper and mostly faster as transfering bitcoin directly.

off-course it will be recovered and if you lucky or Bucky  :D might be lost

I am planning to move some of my BTC and I was looking for this information,
anyway, thanks for the thread,
it make me aware, it ll take longer time to make it sure.

They are simply protecting assets. Its nothing to be concerned about. I rather them suspend it then have it go off chain and someone lose it. Its going to happen across all the exchanges.  A few more confirms is fine with me.

Thanks to Serpens66 , for letting me know that wallet is re enabled, i just logged in and found that all my bitcoins are now credited.

As a mere Precaution i will be using LTC now for trade including deposit and withdraw to all merchant sites who accept them. I am sure in August people will decrease using the bitcoins and the number of Txn will be less as compared to earlier months, this could give rise to ltc as their demand is going to increase.

Your funds supposed to be safe, it won't lost I think as you have txid and bittrex could process or refund your bitcoin.
I'm wondering, since it has been over 10 hours, where is it? Have they refunded bitcoin to your wallet or what?
Bittrex stated : Bittrex will close deposits and withdrawals of Bitcoin (including 2nd layer protocol XCP/OMNI and associated assets) 4 hours prior to the BIP 91 activation block 477,120 anticipated to be at July 23, 12am PST (7am UTC).
The wallet will remain closed until the majority hash power chain is clearly established. Trading will remain active during this time. In the event of a chain split, Bittrex will take all reasonable steps to ensure that customer funds can be preserved on both chains.

I guess you have to wait until they stated are clear regarding BIP91 blocks.
However, I don't trust this site because too many accusations against them and not resolved yet, just like my account could got hacked or whatever due to I can't login anymore (my password and email are fine and secure) and I saw in this forum that other users funds just disappeared. Nonetheless, you can decide whether to trust them or not.

Edit : I'm glad your bitcoins are safe right now. :D, and you should lock this thread as well.

i don't understand the reason why any exchange would want to "disable" their wallets? even for August 1.
there simply is no reason for it.
for the soft fork the only thing needed is higher number of confirmation and being aware of the possible orphaned chains
for the hard fork of BCC on August 1 the only thing needed is using their replay protection. and it is pretty simple stuff.

I think your bitcoin is not loss as there may be more confirmation needed for your account to be credited. Another solution is for you to send bittrex a message and explain this problem to with how your money is stog in the network and as any solution from them!

Just a heads up, to any of you that are following BCC

Bittrex will be giving their users BCC tokens on a 1:1 ratio

Deposits and withdrawals will be frozen on August 1st.

https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000808991-Statement-on-Bitcoin-Cash-BCC-

This is an interesting news. Now, I am wondering if I will withdraw my Bitcoin to another wallet and my account will not be anymore holding any Bitcoin in Bittrex, will it mean I will not be getting any amount of BCC?

Now, if that is the case, it is not advisable to get my Bitcoin out from Bittrex since I am also interested to have some free BCC which I am planning to dump afterwards.

Am I correct?

No, i think you are not right. As I read this news: You get your bcc on bittrex and only deposits and withdrawels are frozen on one day (1.August) to asure that no money will be lost.
I also will not send btc oe bcc from my wallet, until I will be sure that everything runs proper.

Remember in August 1st is SegWit time, and don't try send Bitcoin in this time if not want loss your Bitcoin in old blockchain. Maybe not only one day can stable the system, even need one week sure we can sending Bitcoin normally.

That means the splitting is really and there is going to be a serious hardfork issues after august first. We should actually prepared for this upcoming events that may fix or Mar bitcoin and others crytocurrency. You coins will later be credited into your account you only need to be a little bit patients.

All exchange is now preparing to postpone all transactions on 1st of August 2017. They are all prepared and do not want a higher risk because they keep running the transaction. Temporary suspension becomes an alternative to securing the bitcoins owned by users. Because hardfork can be problematic when the transaction remains done as usual. All waiting for a stable result and then setting an unspecified time limit.

But now BTC transactions in bittrex can be done.
But for now I have not tried it. Is there someone who will try it?
Good luck...!!

They disabled Bitcoin transactions because they need to make sure that after the 1st August, Bitcoin Blockchain will stay stable but good news is that they accepted Bitcoin again, just try to deposit.

Now thats the good way of doing business. Bittrex will really do something about the btc you deposited and its big amount too. But you have to be very much careful as deposits/withdrawal/sell/buy will be disabled soon by each and every wallet, exchangers for security reasons. Let the hard fork pass on buddy!

Do not worry about that, you will not lose anything if you send money to bittrex. They are just trying to be secure, so they need more confirmation. You can revoke it.

Your BTC not actually gone please do not create any transaction July 30 to August  3 this will be lose of all your send funds to another wallet. but now everything's is okey do you need some patience cause bittrex very carefully confirmed your deposit.

I concur with you. It might be happening because Segwit has almost approached. It’s really not wise to deposit your bitcoins at any exchange right now. This may result in the loss of coins ultimately leaving you depressed and miserable. As far as bittrex is concerned, they will soon resolve this issue.

You would not lose your bitcoins,just need more confirmations and thats why the delay in receiving your bitcoins.Thats why it has been already advised to maximum try to avoid sending bitcoins at this time.Usually some exchanges even suspend deposits and withdrawals for 24 to 48 hours during such hard fork situations.

I cannot even login to Bittrex right now. Hopefully there is no hacking involved on the day we have Bitcoin Folk :(

I can not even login also , i hope everything is ok for us or for bittrex. It can be really disappointing if bittrex got hacked.

You only put your bitcoins in trouble. We are discussing from last one month that we don't do any transaction when segwit2x is activating I think you also know this still you tried means it's your fault. Anyway, you made mistake but don't worry your bitcoins will be 99% safe you will get it but don't know how much time it will take to arrive in your wallet just wait and see.

I can login to Bittrex and see my BCC now :D Happy lol

Not only Bittrex, many other trading websites have disabled bitcoin deposit. It takes time for the proper beginning of the bitcoin trading with several other pairs. Probably a BCC/BTC pair gets added to the list on every trading website. The value of bitcoin and bitcoin cash grows in a mutual manner profiting all the users who has been holding with trust.

All is well on Trex at this time.  Bitcoin deposits are again enabled.

We should all know this by now lol

Almost the same issue...

I deposited 0.03... btc from nice hash to bittrex and it's waiting for confirmations for 24 hours already...

I see your Input as spent so i guess it was settled.

Update :
ETH deposit and withdraw was enabled again from yesterday evening, for few hours because of Byzantium Hard Fork the bittrex disabled the ETH wallet but everything seems working fine now.

Bittrex is scam

After 3 Months my verified enhaced account got disbaled.I sent ticket ,someone with ryan name asked me id , id with my pic and my pic with bittrex and date paper. I sent and he said solved but my account still disbaled and they don't answer.

Bittrex is scam

Obviously. My account is older and the same problem with Bittrex's bot 'Ryan'. They have blocked withdawals and trade, so it is not the place to discuss it. You can deposit as much as you want to your account, the thing is you can't use it! I have started a topic here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2278845.0

Does Bittrex publish their cold storage address?
