Which of these two exchange services do you use and why?
Do you trust one over the other or is it a support or service thing that one is better than the other, have you tried both?
And how many of you use both services just to spread your funds across?

I will choose Poloniex over Bittrex anytime, for multiple reasons actually, I prefer the GUI they have and the black theme they use, I also like the fact that they use cold storage to hold most of their funds so If a hack occurs, there will be no real damages. If we come to compare the trading volumes then Polo have at least x10 of what Bittrex have, not to mention diversity, where Polo have more coins to trade.

I prefer Poloniex.  It's very good at listing legit cryptos even if they're ones that get pumped and dumped often.  It also has a much larger trading volume which is better, and I rely on Bittrex a lot less (especially since they're not allowing fiat withdrawals for their Bitcoin/fiat exchange, which makes me think they're having serious trouble and something might go wrong).

Poloniex looks better as well but I can't say that that matters too much to actual trading.  It's just quite pleasant.

In recent times poloniex has become so selective on listing new altcoins. If I remember correctly, for all new ethereum based tokens I need to go for either bittrex or liqui exchange. There were times poloniex offered free coins. In recent times I have noticed their withdrawal takes little bit delay compared to earlier days (probably high volume of withdraw requests a reason).

I am using more 5 exchanges, just based on availability of one particular altcoin I will be using an exchange. Also I have habit of choosing exchange for getting better prices when same coin trades in gap.

To be very honest,don't trust any of the exchanges wit the amount you can't afford to lose.I know this topic isn't about that but regardless of the exchanges,you shouldn't be storing coins in your wallets online.
In terms of service discussion,I'd choose Bittrex anyday.

Both exchanges is having good reputation of course these exchanges are trusted. But if I have to choose, I will suggest Poloniex for the best one because of the smooth design, mobile friendly (even if bittrex site mobile friendly too), and the best thing is they have lending service where you can provide loans for traders and get profit return (and you can get a loans to trade from someone there)

Poloniex, somehow I feel safer with an exchange that requires id verification. Most of the alternative coins on poloniex are also the ones that actually have other uses other than being pumped and dumped.

Polo still being the number one, Because according to my experience and I were having a bad history for use bittrex trading exchange which it has a really bad trading chart. Too long for the bittrex trading chart to gets an update about the recent price of the market.
They're all in the competition to grab more traders to play on their platform. The major is more superior than minor.

On bittrex theres a lot of alternative coins there. On polo just a few coins but limited shit coins on there. If you would compare bittrex has lots of shitcoins so better resesrch first before using bittrex.

Polo have chat and many people trading there me also.So far i have no problem trading this two site.

If i will pick, i choose poloniex for the best exchanger, because poloniex have the highest volume in every altcoin that listed in his exchange and also your account is fully secured for it. Well sometimes i'm using bittrex just to buy an altcoin that is not listed in poloniex like PIVX that pump high

I used both and I like trading in Poloniex more. They have better volume and a better list of cryptocurrencies. Bittrex is good but theres too many scamcoins listed and the volume is not as good.

Poloniex has become the no.1 altcoin exchange after all these years.

I use Bittrex because I'm holding coins that are not listed on Poloniex yet. (Nexus)
Both are great exchanges and surely some of the most popular, Polo has a better UI & trollbox.

Poloniex outperforms every other altcoin exchange competitor. It offers a great variety of options for traders, exchange support is fantastic, enough volume and liquidity available, and the list goes on.

Bittrex is just an okay exchange if you put it up against Poloniex. I wouldn't have to wait a single second in order to know which exchange I will choose. You can't compare a Toyota car with a Ferrari, it's that simple.

I use both of them, because some tokens are listed on Bittrex only, and some are on Polo only. as everyone know it is easier to list any coin on Bittrex than listing it on Polo, in addition, Bittrex has good potential alts like Time, ARK, Waves.....

I will choose both, at the same time poloniex become the best exchanges because of their very highest volume and their popularity, also the others altcoin that listed in polo are not obvoiusly dead/scamcoin. Anyways i like too bittrex since 5 months even if they are not popular

I'm using poloniex since 2015, why , because the volume and many whale there, and one thing poloniex didn't listed any coin if that doesn't has a good plan in the future,, poloniex is prefisional exchange i guess

OP you should've added a poll
Bittrex is a reliable exchange with decent support, and I was using it a lot in the past for daily trading, but I prefer Poloniex for two simple reasons.
First of all, it has bigger volume and secondly (this is the most important for me) somehow I feel that my money is safer in Polo than any other exchange.

I don't trust Bittrex because they accept bribes to list coins (like cryptsy and mintpal).

A lot of Bittrex coins ended up worthless and have been delisted.


Poloniex has a better interface and I trust the team behind the website more than Bittrex.

To this day I did not use in a very intensive manner their support service (I guess I had a message on each of them).
But without any hesitation, I would elect Poloniex as the best of the best :
- Because it has a trollbox, and though it can lead you to have a misinterpretation of the general feeling, you can have an instant access to instant answers from a very active staff. And you are free to not listening the trolls, you get banned quickly anyway.
- Because it has a much greater volume, which guarantees that your orders will get filled much faster.
- Because it offers P2P loans.
- Because it offers simple yet damn useful analysis tools of your trades.

However Bittrex still has some nice advantages too, such as much more trading tools or more important some very important crypto-currencies missing on Poloniex (Waves as for exemple).

So even though both have advantages over the other one, Poloniex is still the best mainly for its volume.

I think that might be because basically, Poloniex didnt encounter any serious problems through their history since launch, and I feel the same with my money on poloniex.

When i was comparing Bittrex to Poloniex, I have found out that I really prefer the user interface we have on bittrex, and the overall trading platform.
It is more transparent for me, and not laggy- when I have some strange backlogs on Poloniex sometimes, which is extremely annoying for me.

But I need to say that I still would choose Poloniex, because this cryptocurrency exchange has really higher volume ( highest among the exchanges ) and I can also do margin trading/loaning there, which is not available on bittrex.

Both of exchanger is well known and exist over 4 years. Mintpal also great exchanger on old days !
Poloniex have their chat box that able to discuss between trader and provide giveway on giveway tab
Bittrex has simple graph and smooth graphics which enable trader to trade with easy and smooth

But I'm prefer bittrex for their awesomeness

Both of it if i will choose, because they are just the same exchange, but poloniex has mostly popular to all traders because of their #1 highest volume ever, i love poloniex because of the, but i love also how the way bittrex do to all her traders, even if their some many problems they will fix this as soon as posible, and poloniex also have a very fast support nice moderator they banned veey fast all spammers in his troll box. This two exchanges if i will pick

I trust poloniex more than bittrex because poloniex is known to have good security as well as they have quite clean history. Also volume is way higher in polo than in bittrex. I still use both of these exchanges but poloniex is my first choice.

Both are good and i choose them based on coin which i want to trade. Most of the coins that are listed in bittrex are also listed in poloniex but there are still few that are only listed in bittrex, so if i have to trade them i will simply use bittrex otherwise i try to stick with poloniex.

However i trust both with my bitcoins.

i have already use both of them over than 2 years and never had a problem regarding my withdrawal or my deposit account but if i compare from contact support for solved the issue poloniex had low respond but eventually the issue will resolved too but bittrex had fast respond

Both of them are good and reliable so far, but for me right now I am focusing trading at Poloniex because most of the times the coins are all active. And for my own opinion as what i can see in the market, it is going up.  For me also when the coins are always moving i could try fast trading.

Stick with higher volumes, it makes liquidation so much easier.

Yes i would also like to suggest same, during massive pump and dump it will be easier to sell/buy any coin on poloniex because they will have huge buy/sell orders. Go with poloniex..

Poloniex is starting to lag with the increased volume, so they need to fix that quickly otherwise their exchange will get ruined. Bittrex though functions smoothly, so it helps to split your trades between the two, just in case polo goes down.

iam choose poloniex because

1 fee withdraw is low only 10k satoshi
2 very high volume transaction, so is fast pending order buy or sell can take it
3 support lending and margin trading
4 very high user trading in poloniex

Personally I prefer Bittrex, I have used Poloniex in the past but I use Bittrex as my main altcoin exchange.

They have a more varied selection of coins and I prefer interface, I suppose I am more familiar with Bittrex.

i have been using Poloniex for a pretty long time a few months ago, and i found that polo is better on pure altcoin trading. IIRC comparing to bittrex polo has a chatbox (trollbox), not bittrex. however, i haven't seen bittrex so i cannot provide any opinion other than some of the abandoned altcoin available for trading in bittrex.

The one thing I don't like about Poloniex is that it keeps logging me off every 5 to 10 minutes. It could be me since I'm on the road and rent internet and they might be changing my IP address at least this is what Poloniex support has told me. But on Bittrex I'm logged in all day (same with other exchanges). I only have this problem with Poloniex and it's annoying but I keep using them since it works and they have best volume on most Alt Coins.

I love both of them, 60% of my BTC is in Bittrex, the rest is in Poloniex. If Poloniex would add TIME from Chronobank, and would have a nice time chart like from Bittrex, then I would stick with Poloniex.

Yes that is also my problem when i leave it or AFK for a while. It keeps on saying your login session expired, Maybe its also for the protection of your account since it could be used as wallet and to avoid also of being hacked.

Differentiation is the key! Always differentiate your funds, so use both, plus Kraken.

Bittrex takes bribes? I dont think thats proven. If youre going to accuse an exchange for accepting bribes, then you should also post the corresponding evidence. Thats a strong accusation if its true.

Thats a good suggestion. I would go far and say that Kraken is a better exchange than Bittrex and it should be considered as a good 2nd exchange to Poloniex. Its headquartered in San Francisco and not some small country in Asia. No offense to the people of Asia but setting up an exchange that has their headquarters in a 3rd world country does make it look like its a scam.

I use Poloniex as although it has fewer different altcoins for exchange compared to Bittrex it has all the altcoin I need to exchange to Bitcoin and withdraw from them. I like their interface more than Bittrex and is really straight forward not letting you make any error. That is the reason I use Polo over Bittrex because I am used to it and Bittrex interface to me looks more complicated.

i don't trust poloniex, they are too shady. and they also take part in the pumps. the platfor is not strong enough for the number of users they have either. whenever there is a surge of orders the platform goes offline without any notice. i have lost so many chances to sell because of it.

there have been many times that etherim was supposed to get dumped hard but they went offline and said in their twitter we are under DDoS attack. i say 1 time is coincidence but when it happens multiple times it is scam.

Neither should be trusted. But for pure usability I find Poloniex cleaner. I wonder whether they're going to eventually have a story to tell too. The pumps are so brazen now.

I sense a negative meaning in your wording. Mind elaborating what exactly you're referring to?

From what I have been seeing an experiencing when it comes to Poloniex, they have been operating far better than any other altcoin exchange.

It's not for nothing that after a few large altcoin exchange have gone down that the traders from these exchanges found their home in Poloniex. There is a massive gap between Poloniex and the rest as result of that.

It's a bottomless pump fest and there is absolutely nothing to stop them from fucking with their own customers.

Look at how ETC was launched. If that wasn't a blatant screwjob then I don't know what is.

They may be operationally solid but I don't believe they're whiter than white in their ethics.

Personally i use both exchange, but i prefer Polo GUI; i use bittrex only for Alt not listed on polo.
for safe found...any exchange are safe.

with polo i have sometimes problem with withdraw and never with bittrex.

I trust bittrex more as I have used them a lot recently. For the altcoins I use, they have a good market rate compared to Poloniex and I haven't had the need to contact their support as my transactions have been completed quite fast (whether withdrawals or deposits). Poloniex, on the other hand, have a very good website but they don't usually list new altcoins that I use often.

Well like others i also both use them but most of my coins is in poloniex than the bitrex..
Also  if the other altcoin is not listed from bittrex i invest in poloniex for other altcoin. 
The good part in poloniex its more secured base in my experience that honestly sometimes i hardly to login with my own password because of their password limit attempt.

I've had zero issues with Poloniex. Pumps are likely more the result of being able to trade on margin, which is normal in any other type of trading as well (forex, stock, etc.). It's not really a reason to discount them as a viable exchange.

Maybe this is the reason then.
I've noticed that quite a few coins which have decent amount and good ranking at coinmarketcap are missing at polo but are present at bittrex.
I asked this because of this reason, so maybe users who are interested in those coins use bittrex for this main reason, to trade those altcoins.
But I wonder why they are not at polo even with such high marketcap.

You have a point there, but that's basically the case with all altcoin exchanges. I know certain people that got their obvious premine scam coin listed at Bittrex, where after a while the coin got dumped down like there is no tomorrow.

Exchanges only care about generating as much volume as possible as that will earn them more than decent fees. Reality is that the pump and dump coins attract the most people, and thus it's top priority for exchanges to constantly list them.

Is it a horrible way of operating if you think about it? It surely is, but people accept it, and thus these exchanges will continue to nurse the demand from with greed filled people.

Lets be serious, Poloniex is an obvious winner of this comparision.
I can find many arguments that will proove that, the first one is that the Poloniex plays the biggest part in the BTC market, and also very big part in the markets of some specific altcoins.
Also, we have the highest volume all over the exchanges at Poloniex, what makes their rates for buying/selling really attractive for the customers.

Another advantage of Poloniex is letting users to do margin trading ( even without ID authentication ), or also you can use your money for lending purposes, the rates are really good.

In summary, Poloniex just seems as a better choice than Bittrex, you have more possibilities with that exchange.

What poloniex offers make them top tier, their site performance is really outstanding that makes them also unique. Overall this is just a comparison and there is no winner here, it is just based on the people's votes and choices to which they prefer. For me both are good and unique but most of all they are trusted and reliable.

This both exchange service are all good but it depends on what im using to trade my altcoin if im using mobile i always go to poloniex and bittrex if you want a big volume.

Both of them if i will pick. I doesn't need to pick any exchanges i just need to trade safety with have nice ui,support and easy to trade. But poloniex is the best because of their highest volume ever and nice support and very friendly exchanger. Anyways i'm also using bittrex if ever that i have favourite coin that lsted in their exchanger

A lot of coins ended up worthless and have been delisted on both exchanges.

I use both of them for my trading sessions and from my personal experiences, both of them are good exchanges. I never had a problem with them regarding BTC deposit or withdrawals. But honestly speaking, I prefer Poloniex because it has wide array of choices for altcoins and the volume that they have in each coin is next to none. Their chart is also very useful and very functional.

 poloniex >Bittrex   in GUI and live update and chat and quality of coins listed there and volume  . That being said i use Bittrex over poloniex because it have the coins i am currently holding . I do think Bittrex come in second place after poloniex.

Well, it's not bribes per se.

IT's just a fee to be listed, and I mean it makes sense - the more money you have, technically your coin has more investors and therefore you are proving that your coin is legit, right?

But yes,Polo has a much better interface and it has much more volume. But bittrex deposits and withdrawals are so much faster!

Personally I use both.

Because Poloniex has good rates, lower spreads, hiher volume and better customer support.

But bittrex has a good selection of coins, that poloniex doesn't have. For example, Bittrex still lists Voxels whilst poloniex has delisted Voxels and many more altcoins just a week ago, which is sad to see.

Poloniex FTW.

I'm using them mainly to lend money to margin traders instead of trading myself. Feel it more save this way.
But they have the biggest volume for traders and the best platform from all.

I use Bittrex only for coins which are not listed at Poloniex.

I prefer to trade in Bittrex,
because I learned a trade and only have little capital

I also like Bittrex. I'm feel pretty good using this because one of the best altcoin trading platforms. Why not we like it, they offer good service as an example one of the larger crypto to crypto exchanges, after every currency listing on Bittrex will see a lot of trading volume in the first few weeks and so on.

I prefer to trade in Bittrex. 8)

Best regards,

Yeah I'd say the biggest difference between the two is that Bittrex is more along the lines of Yobit when it comes to the coins they add, they add the coins that are shitty and submitted by people who simply have them in order to pump them. There's no other reason for a site like this in the least.

Poloniex on the other hand holds coins which actually have a pretty high market cap and daily trading volume such as XEM,XRP,XMR,ETH,ETC, and so on and so forth. These are coins which COULD be used (they're not but they could be) based on the tech that is actually behind them which is pretty nice too.

So, Poloniex all the way

first of all, don't fool yourself. all exchanges add what gives them the most profit. they do not see things that you and i call shit or scam, etc. the only thing they see is how they can make more money from adding such coin. and if they have to choose between 2 they will add the one that gives them the most profit.

secondly, do not even begin to compare bittrex with yobit. bittrex a legit and good service that has been working very well for years without any serious problems and the coins they add are all good and they are what people want.
yobit is a shitty scam place that is run by scammers who will add anything they want even if people never trade them.

I agree all around. The only deviators from the "add whatever gives profit" would be certain ones, like Bitfinex, Coinbase, and the like.

And 100000% dead on with YoBit. They also let you pay to add your coin, so even if you want to run a scam, it only costs a little coin and they'll let you do it. Ridiculous.

Both of exchanges are very good, mostly reputed coins will be listed on both the exchanges. But when compared Bittrex, Poloniex has greater volumes and many people are actively trading coins in the Poloniex.

actually those two are both good, and I like them both but what I used now most often was Bittrex maybe it is coming by a chance only that I have a lot of coins over that exchanges. Besides, I don't see any problems for a couple of months using it. So meaning, there services to their traders over there was quite and good so far.

It would be Poloniex. The two are the best exchange right now but Poloniex has more traders compared to the other. But I don't know if its just me because I'm having difficulties logging in on poloniex that I need to change the desktop site to mobile site.

the bittrex has more coins to trade, thus the transaction history will be larger, so that they need certainly more funds from the fee to sustain their datacenter. poloniex knows some of the altcoins are unsustainable so they decided to delist, their transaction volume is far larger than bittrex so far, like litecoin.

To be honest, you didnt give us any reason that actually prooves that bittrex is better.
The main topic of the thread is about comparing Poloniex to Bittrex, and I think that we are also trying to discuss which one of this exchanges is better, when your post just simply does not bring anything new into our talk.

You can trade either with small capital on poloniex, there is no really any requirements, you can deposit as many btc as you  want ( even 0.0005 lol ) so that is not a problem.
Poloniex has a really big volume if we compare it to the other exchanges, which is a really big advantage: also, we can do margin trading which is simply great with such a fair rates for every single cryptocurrency that is listen on this website.

I have had a good experience with both of them, also fast responses to any of my tickets.

However I use Poloniex more, for following reasons:
1. Big volumes: If both exchanges hold same coin, the volume on Polo is several times higher than Bittrex
2. Better charts: Polo charts give better viewing options
3. Trade analysis: I can select any of my previous trades and it gives me profit/loss analysis on that particular coin

The best Exchange is Poloniex...
Polo have many Pro.
Is fastest than trex.
Have huge volume traded per day...
It can manage more than 20K user, at the same time.
I prefer polo charting.
I like slider under chart, to select periodo analisis.

i have been done using both of them but my trading history on poloniex have pretty much than on bittrex and i personally prefer to use poloniex because on this exchange there are so many altcoins for trading options and some of them also have high volume support

I'm also registered on both of this exchanges and personally I prefer more poloniex over bittrex too. I like poloniex more because interface, and I think its more trustworthy then other exchanges. Easy to use and fast support, what can we wish more from them.

If you have a good capital and you want to trade top 20 coins, you should use poloniex. Bittrex will support people who have a small capital and love to trade new coin. I love bittrex more than poloniex

Polo without a doubt. Home to the great whales.

Bittrex is probably good if you're trading with small sums. I've also seen some good volatility there on some new coins, which they tend to list first.

Whatever you choose is the same you don't controlling private keys and this is the fact, in times when strange things start happening and alarmant talks, folks won't get chance to recover funds. Mintpal had my trust, almoust without boundaries. They are necessary evil until we replace them with decentralized exchanges..

Now many people here have to say praise for Poloniex, seems to have improved their attitude and quality of service. I emptied all my wallets from there, because I have lot of problem with withdrawing, and these days they have very poor support. about two years ago.
Bittrex I did not try yet

I prefer myself Bittrex over Poloniex. There is not any particular reason, it's just that the Poloniex UI hurt my eyes.It is confusing that you don't know where to put your eyes. Bittrex is also the first exchange I used and I am happy with it. I don't like to change specially when all is working good. So i stick with Bitrrex personnaly

Polo is much more popular. Make sure to deposit with ETH because BTC deposits take forever!

I actually prefer Bittrex to Poloniex, but I tend to buy and hold for a few months and don't day trade. I like the great selection of altcoins Bittrex offers, and prefer it's interface.

Poloniex has much higher volumes, and that alone is a reason to favour it.
Bittrex has a lot of penny stocks listed. You will have to be careful to avoid these.

I already chose Poloniex. My first contact with trading was at Yobit, and I spent there maybe a year, month ago I opened account on Poloniex and now I trade and buy coins there. I like Poloniex and I will not change them anytime soon, I still didn`t use everything that Poloniex have to offer to us.

It is very risky when you have so many penny stocks and no one wants to buy them. Even the the user interface of Poloniex is 10x better than Bittrex, it may have lots of altcoins but poloniex provides better services with cold storage.

One problem with Poloniex, is that residents or New York are not allowed to use it.

Didn't know that. Why is that so?

They don't hold the bitLicence that NY requires (Bittrex does).
More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitLicense

At some point this may catch up with polo as the NY requirements set a standard.

Maybe because I am used to use it,I like Bittrex.They also have all popular coins and their volume may be less than Polo but still good.I do not do trade much though but I would prefer to sell my coins on bittrex

I have used a both since a long time, but for now I use poloniex more often, and oddly I do not know why I more prefer poloniex than bittrex, but I think they both have support services that are equally good.

Poloniex has fee for each exchange. Bittrex is better in this direction.

Every exchange charges trading fees, Bittrex too. Is there any significant difference between trading fees of Poloniex and Bittrex?

For everyone, their exchange is better. Who needs a lot of liquidity at a normal price - Poloniex, who needs speed and no connection problems - Bittrex.

Hello,

I saw that poloniex offers margin trading. Does it offer margin trading for all currencies or only for currencies listed in "margin trading" section?

Does bittrex offer margin trading now?

Thanks

Polo btc withdrawal fee is 0.0001 BTC
Bittrex is 10 times higher (2.5 usd) 0.001 BTC

i'm using both bittrex and polo at the moment. polo interface is far better but it's irrelevant if you can't withdraw your money. polo has problems with withdrawals and you can never get any answer from their support. i'm expecting a mtgox-like behaviour from polo so beware.

Lately I have been using the bittrex a lot more.
Poloniex is suffering from scaling issues because of the sudden spike in users...
This has led them not add any of the popular and up and coming alts i trade/hodl.
Bittrex  has been getting all the ICOs of late.
They are also a lot more supportive of popular forks.
ZCL & ZEN come to mind.

I like liqui too...but it seems like a lot of bots trade there because most of the trades are in mBTC.

I hope polo wises up, and starts to pick up more projects, instead off falling on that excuse:

"we only add coins that are innovative to the space"

haha...

more like,

If we add another coin, we are gonna crash.

I think I will use both

Polo to store bitcoin and get interest. Bittrex for trading

Both are good, but an exchange is not good if used just to store bitcoin only, believe me you will get into trouble if just save it, immediately make trade there. Good luck!

Came here from a thread linked to from another, and found it funny that this was the first thing that struck me about Polo the first time too... the default UI hurts my old eyes. You know you can switch to Night Mode, though, right? (Top right corner)

I do think about it, if we want to trade safely then poloniex is a better option but if they are so selective to list new crpto, so we have to get into several exchanges such as bittrex and liqui. But no doubt poloniex is the first choice to trade.
I'm wondering about 5 exchanges that you use to compare better prices within some coins which may have bigger demand than other altcoins. Many factors to consider before put money on exchanges and just deposit some amount of money/bitcoin that you willing to lose (just in case).

I am using both, but am starting to prefer bittrex because poloniex is having issues in withdrawing, and lots of poloniex users  have started to notice this. Hope poloniex gets this problems over soon.

I only trade on polo. Would you suggest me to transfer some on bittrex?

Poloniex low transaction fees, but not as fast as Bittrex

I still use both and i'm grateful not to have a problem with poloniex as others have, poloniex does not have good support but poloniex has lower fees than bittrex. All surely there are flaws and advantages of each you just need to choose the best for you.

https://image.prntscr.com/image/BbUD70GDRW2KRcpNP2dRSg.png

I've got banned 'temporarily' for no reason. Last time I am using Poloniex that's for sure.

I trade in both Poloniex and Bittrex, they're both very good, with fast withdrawals, never had any issue whatsoever with any of them.

Poloniex is still better for me because Bittrex takes too high transaction fees.

If Bittrex reduces its transaction fees, I believe many users will switch away from Poloniex.

To be honest it almost has the same potential, but I mostly visit the bittrex site, maybe it's because it's a habit, and sometimes so many coins pump there, so the chances of getting profits are also being increased.

In my opinion, that is not something good. Too many listed coins just ruin the interface. Hardly I see them all!
The reduction in fees is needed, especially with high volume / high price  tokens.

Can't connect to bitter today, tried several times over several hours, just can not get past the captcha (id and pwd ok), no problem to connect to Polo or other exchanges. Anybody had the same problem ?

No problem logging into Bittrex here.

Thank's could in the end after a mail asking to check the ip, looks like they have tightened security

Stay away Bittrex !
I just setup my account 2 monts ago and mined a lot of coins into bittrex. My account was enabled, I entered my information and it said it could not identify me in pubic records.... so it prompted me to apply for enhanced version and to upload IDs and fill in all my personal information which I did.
Now I'm getting an error message and cannot withdraw any of my coins from the exchange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 days later and my account is still frozen. I can trade but cannot withdraw/ protect any of my recently added currency

The accounts are having problems getting higher level verification and payments are being lost or limited. You try to contact with them on slack, they can help you process it faster.

How can i do it on slack? It always says "invite_limit_reached" .

Poloniex or Bittrex - Herpes or syphilis?

Similar choice.

You must verify your account if you want to join it. The invites will only be available to users whose accounts have been enhance verified because they want to eliminate spam, phishing, and general abuse.

Bittrex is scam

Not a scam, users must simply verify their accounts.

I can easily say shut your mouth! and read their ANN topic:

Hundreds of complaints & there is not a single response from buttrex

i was enhanced verified user ( same as other thousand users that blocked) but they blocked our accounts & do not answer our tickets more than 32 days (or givin any clear statement).
they are using our money more than 1 month . this is obvious fraud.
Again Repeat for you those thieves Do not answer to our tickets more than 32 days.

I use both exchange and I am in Bittrex now. The first exchange that I use is Poloniex because it has the highest trading volume before but due to some reports and FUD spreading about them being shut down and withdrawal issues then I decided to transfer to Bittrex because I can see that many people are transferring there and it has variety of choices of coins as well compared to Poloniex. Recently, there is this problem of Bittrex as well deactivating accounts even though it is already enhanced and for those who has basic accounts are required to enhance their accounts but I am not affected by this but I am having doubts now of whether I would choose Bittrex still. Binance would be an alternative for me and Gexcrypto too when it is already launched. I hope that those affected accounts would be activated and problems be solved.

this now poloniex and bittrex quality is same, not difference
same high volume transaction, much trader register in there, and same much problem, withdraw problem

You forgot to mention Binance (https://www.binance.com/?ref=11697501) for altcoin exchange. It has a low fees (0.10% or 0.05%) and supports many pairs of coins.

Hey everybody bittrex has asked that if you have multiple support tickets to log into your support account and delete all but your first ticket. Like I have said if they are really trying to screw everyone sending them lots of support tickets is neither going to bother them or help you so if they are trying to do this manually all we can do is try to speed it up by getting rid of useless tickets. Hoping for the best possible outcome

Bittrex has temporarily closed registration to new users, unfortunately making Poloniex the only option to sign up between these two exchanges at the moment. As others have mentioned, Binance is an other exchange to consider for similar services.

Bittrex vs Poloniex vs Binance Key Points of Comparison

• Customer Support: While none of these exchanges have anywhere close to perfect customer support, Poloniex seems to be particularly bad in this area. Many Poloniex users have experiences support tickets taking multiple months. Binance and Bittrex support is usually handled in a more reasonable time frame of a few weeks max.
• Verification Requirements: Binance by default allows you to withdrawal the equivalent of 2 BTC / day, without requiring any personal information. You can increase this to 100 BTC / day by completing verification. Both Bittrex and Poloniex require verification for any withdrawals. Keep in mind Poloniex's poor customer support may severely delay your verification.
• Current Trading Pairs: Binance 264, Bittrex 261, Poloniex 99. Not only does Binance currently have the most trading pairs, but they've also been most consistent recently in adding news coins to their exchange.
• Trading Fees: Binance 0.1%, Bittrex 0.25%, Poloniex 0.25% or less (maker-taker fee schedule)

I am currently a trader in poloniex. Very unhappy at the moment because of the trading volume being steadily decreasing. The liquidity for “smaller” altcoins is quite low indeed. I should transfer all my funding somewhere else like binance or bitfinex soon. Any advise?

Poloniex and bittrex are my best choices before.

But time flies so fast and these well known best exchange before are starting to be dry and new young exchanges are dominating for the upcoming years.

Go for binance mate, its now one of the most popular and does have a big trading volume that you are considering.

Bittrex -> NO. I love using bittrex but they all of a sudden they reduced my withdrawal limit by 86.6666666667%,(they reduced my daily withdrawal limit from 3BTC to 0.4BTC >:(),they also locked thousands of accounts. So beware!
Binance -> YES. I don't use it much/use it all,but from what I have heard and seen,they have a lot of supported altcoins(except DOGE :'() and they don't have any accusations yet!

Poloniex also has so many deposit issues off late and their support system....is shit. Even sloths are faster..

Binance - as a foreign exchange, it is more risky to use IMO. I would only use Binance for quick transactions and not store funds on them.

I think for almost 6 month Poloniex and Bittrex have same attitude lack of response the ticket support, and I’m not use because of that issues.
