My queastion is when wallet status is Maintenance (deposit and withdraw), how long it takes?
Thanks

P.S. It's been over two weeks

Depends. If they disabled deposits/withdrawals because of an outdated client, they will usually ask a developer or member of the community to do the work and update it.  Until them, they will keep it disabled.

If it's just a regular maintenance, nobody can know when will it end.

This is why Yobit sucks when it comes to maintenance specially into a particular coin wallet.As being said someone would really need to update either on the developer or into people who do have knowledge.Based into my experience back with yobit site it last for 3 days in my side at thats somehow lucky into my part.I have heard some of users do experience even waiting up for months and never been updated.

Yes it depends. Sometimes it's a matter of few days but for two weeks, that is a long one for me. And worst case scenario, sometimes it will not back online that's why it's risky to play coins there. One reason why YoBit sucks.

May we know what coin is that who have wallet maintenance? Does it also have an ANN thread here or some platforms of discussion? Maybe developers of it have a direct update from the YoBit.

Only yobit's maintenance team / support can answer your question.

I don't use yobit because of many bad reviews, comments and experiences with that exchange so I don't even have the guts to try it out. I have read some complains that it took more than 2 months of wait before that wallet was enabled and fixed.

What is that wallet / coin you're holding there?

what coin is that ?? the thing about yobit is they are so slow and some coins may take over 3 months
it kinda depends on the volume and the coin wallet updates in general , so if there is an update to the wallet or a kind of fork it may take a lot of time especially if the trading volume doesn't generate yobit solid revenue

Yobit is not alone with such behavior. Cryptopia is exactly the same, sometimes keeping wallets in maintenance for 3-4 weeks.

Seconded.I have experienced this delay in cryptopia exchange when their wallet goes on maintenance and didnt online for long which in result i had missed out on selling it on higher price.For now i havent checked if its fixed or not but well i dont care or bother at all since i had missed already on making profit which is really unlucky and very poor performance on such exchange.We cant do anything with these issues but to wait up Yobit and Cryptopia do have the same behavior when it comes to their support system.

Worse than that, a lot of people noticed it with SmartCash, last autumn every time it was close to monthly payouts Cryptopia froze SmartCash wallets for no apparent reason, opening them again few days later. Makes you think...

I suggest you to check the coin/token's ANN Thread, Blog, or social media accounts first if there is a problem with the chain or wallet. That way you can confirm if the problem is only with Yobit or not. If it's only in Yobit, no one else aside from them knows exactly how long it would take to be fixed/enabled.

Btw, are you planning to Deposit or Withdraw?
Assuming that you're going to Deposit, I highly recommend to just choose another platform. On the other hand, if you plan to withdraw, you can consider exchanging the coin/token to other coins.

It isn't possible to exchange the coins for other coins if the wallet is disabled I have many altcoins in yobit and some of my altcoins wallet are stuck forever until now never fix this issue unless if the developers are still active they can contact the yobit to update the wallet and fix.

If you are lucky for the wallet to be open again you must withdraw it and go to other exchange site because yobit is always delayed response when you need a help.

their support is the worst support in any crypto exchanges so I suggest that you move the funds or sell them once you have a chance.

Isn't it possible if the wallet is in Maintenance status (not disabled), just like in OP's case? I thought it is, only not in making deposits and withdrawals.

People keep complaining about Yobit, but are still using it, which is pretty strange. If an exchange is annoying me (which happened back in the days when I was still messing around with altcoins), I'll ditch it and never look back. The potential profits aren't worth the hassle and headache. If people keep making use of such a problematic exchange due to all the shitcoins they list, then accept that this is part of the risk you expose yourself to. Blame Yobit as much as you want, but if you think logically, there is only yourself to blame for when it comes to going through this nonsense -- no one forces you to buy complete rubbish coins, and no one forces you to use Yobit.

Indefinitely until they actually make it active again.

If you have any money in the wallets that are in maintenance then you are in a pretty sticky situation. There is really no way of getting your money out until they decide that it's time to fix their wallet. IIRC you cannot exchange any of the coins that are in maintenance either (i could be wrong since I haven't used yobit in a year).

Wallet in maintenance is one of the most complained about yobit problems. Even if you write a support ticket to the support, they will not give you an answer and will just ignore you.

Just avoid the yobit exchange. They offer no advantages and do not respect their customers, period.

The problem is, currently there are no good exchanges that list shitcoins. Cryptopia is awful. NovaExchange was good enough but they don't operate currently, probably will re-open next month. Cryptobridge and Coinexchange just don't have any volume.

What makes it happen is because so many coins are listed there and almost or even none are delisted, and finally the old coin that no longer has trading volume the wallet will be in maintenance status, if still within days it is still possible online, but if it's been two weeks I think the status will continues like that.

In most cases I've seen in yobit, wallet maintenance takes months, you are very lucky if you only experience less than a month of wallet maintenance. Their team is very slow in fixing problems like this so I will not really recommend using them

This is so true, I don't know how you get there and where do you get the idea to use this exchange, this will happen to anyone if you will just use any service out there without searching first about the experiences of others on that site/service.

Didn't think it would get worse like this at first i thought about using their service but after some deep speculations of the people in here which the yobit's services are slowing down and rarely updates their good reputation is running out so if anyone wants to trade in here be careful. My research came in handy BTW.

Have you not noticed that literally all exchanges that do trade shitcoins one way or another have problems in their deposits/withdrawals/trading or just their exchange platform in general? Just don't trade these intrinsically worthless coins in the first place.

Exchanges who rely on profiting from coins that nobody else wants to list tells a lot about how their business and profit model runs. With so many coins being listed, and as long as you pay you can get yours listed too (in the case of yobit), there is absolutely no wonder why they can't attend to support efficiently. They are already making bank from people paying them money to get their coins on their exchange.

Cryptopia and Yobit are both exchanges to be avoided. But to be fair, nova was actually a great exchange. But yeah, they are still restructuring.

There is no timeframe provided by yobit about this.

Usually it will take a long time, probably at least 2 months. In some cases wallets placed in maintenance from 2017 are still not unblocked to this day. If you message support, they will most likely just ignore your messages. Their efficiency is absolutely terrible. So basically, if you have funds in these wallets in maintenance then you can kiss your money goodbye, and when they actually do get to unblocking it your alts have already dropped in value a lot.

Yobit should be avoided at all costs, because they are just the worst exchange possible currently still in operation.

Yobit.net and Yobit.io is a scammers site. After entering funds to the site, the wallet becomes "Wallet status: Maintenance". With this status, the wallet can be several months or years. Support service ignores your complaints and questions. To withdraw funds, you need to change your coins to bitcoin at a very unprofitable exchange rate and go out with a loss. Be careful! YOBIT = SCAM!

"you can kiss your money goodbye" I actually laugh into these words that you said which is indeed part of the reality where once you had a pending transaction due to wallet maintenance then its better not to stress yourself out on how to pull out those coins because high chances that this issue turn out to be forever because of their horrible response time and site technical problems and slow fixing capability. Some people do make use this exchange nowadays which is very a non ideal thing to be made.

And what shitcoin or token did you deposit? Sorry, but this isn't anything new or relevant anymore with how long this has been going on. If you at this point in time still get stuck within Yobit with your funds, then it's your fault entirely. There is so much that you can read through everywhere on the internet, that this exchange shouldn't be an option with so many other reputable exchanges around. I get it that they list certain coins and tokens other exchanges aren't willing to list (rightfully so), but you should aim for quality instead of quantity. All these rubbish coins and tokens only lead to problems that can easily be avoided....

I don't know why Yobit still has a signature campaign to promote their site but it seems inactive exchange site due to low response to their support team. As of now, we consider that Yobit exchange site is probably a shitty site and unreputable site that must be avoided for possible cost when you depositing your fund or tokens.
Lol me too. "you can kiss your money goodbye"

It's their choice to keep their signature campaign running, and their campaign has actually been active for several years now (perhaps it's effective at getting people to go to their horrible exchange). At one point in time I recall the campaign was heavily criticized for promoting spamming on the forums, and action was possibly going to be taken against the campaign. Unfortunately the campaign is still here, but they haven't accepted new members in a long time (and most spammers have moved onto Altcoin bounties).

The fact that they still advertise themselves and bait people into trading there is incredible. The only reason Yobit was even remotely successful in the past was because they listed the most obscure coins and as a result Yobit became the only place you could trade a coin for some crypto. Things have since changed and everything has been going downhill for them recently.

It was not the shitcoin! It was Zcash (ZEC). The problem is not in a coins, the problem is that the YOBIT exchange is not a crypto exchange at all, it's the scam site. I do not absolve myself of the responsibility that I fell into this scam, I just want to warn other investors.

Such issues are normal on every centralized exchange . reason for this issue is either the coin you want to deposit or withdraw have issue in its blockchain like BCN and ZEN , in this case you cant do anything except waiting for that coin team to resolve this issue . Yobit is also helpless in this case .
2nd reason is issue in smart contracts of Yobit or similar issue on Yobit side , these are solved by Yobit itself .

i have seen many times Yobit keep wallet on maintenance even in case where coin blockchain working fine . in such cases users also have to suffer from low price after issue resolve . Yobit customer care is also good for nothing no reply .

But still if it takes long period then you can ask them on twitter , email or you can also ask from admin in chatbox/trollbox on their site .
