Do we still do the 'gentlemen' meme around these parts?

Cause if there is a time that's gentlemen, this is it.

Cheers everyone

I don't post here much anymore, but am a daily reader and long term bitcoin user. Just want to wish you guys the best, whether you own bitcoin, stocks or both; especially if you've invested large amounts in recent times, don't panic and make irrational decisions.

As someone who has seen many a bitcoin crash over the years, as many of you here have, things will definitely get better. I know quite a few here got in early can simply say "discount, buy more!' but for those who bought large amounts at $8000, $10000, $12000 etc and are continuing to hodl, I'm sure this is stressful.

Stay strong my bros, we will have our moment again no doubt in my mind!

Yesterday was quite gentleman. Always expecting the unexpected, but that was still a pleasant move up in such short time! Hopefully over 9000 holds from here on out. It's more enjoyable to keep up with this thread when we're all cheerful lol

Well this is a pleasant surprise. I figured we would drop a bit further or at least grind below 10k for awhile, but of course I should know by now that my optimistic or pessimistic outlook on the price will usually result in BTC doing the opposite. 

We'll see if this holds us above 10k. G'day for now gents.

Somehow it didn't feel as bad watching Bitcoin drop from 13700 to 11800 as it does from 220 to 160.  Odd

I think we'll be ok.

I only post here every year or so during Bitcoins most exciting moments, this is one of them.

Weeeee

Remember the days when Bitcoin had cheaper fees then visa and western union? I think that used to be a big selling point, the idea of banking for the unbanked or something like that... lol

I only spent $158 for a cup of coffee, it still works, bitcoin still works!!

Go bitcoin go!!

Seriously though, I sent a transation with a 420 sat/Byte 2.5 days ago, almost looked like it was going to go through until everyone started going higher damnit lol

I got my share of BTG almost a month ago. And by got I mean 'not really got' cause it's stranded on the exchange along with about 6k in btc I can't withdraw.

Looks like it's a heafty fee to get the job done quick

Glad you had no issue. I've taken a similar route, I've only made 1 polite ticket so far and I feel I've been fairly patient considering the funds I have on this exchange and the 2+ weeks I've waited for a response of some sort. I've basic verified but it failed with my true identity. My issue right now is whether or not basic verification works for non U.S citizens at all (I'm Canadian, not from Eastern EUR/RUS/IRAN etc). If so, it should be clearly stated that citizens outside the U.S can only do Enhanced verification. I'm fine with verifying my identity, I'm just cautious about where those ID scan will go to in the future, government is probably better then turning up on a black market.

I also find it a little odd that trex doesn't block deposits and trading for non verified members if they don't want those people to use the exchange.

Out of curiosity, has anyone outside of the U.S been able to successfully verify with only the Basic Verification?

This might be an explanation. Doesn't make sense they still allow trading and depositing but not withdrawals.

It would be ethical to ban deposits and trading from unverified people, but why JUST withdrawals? I can still trade and gain funds but what's the point if I'm just making money for bittrex to keep. If I can't withdraw in a few weeks  I might as well make some terrible buys and leave my account with thousands in shitcoins.


Poloniex ain't the greatest either, but I'd get away if I could take my funds with me

I rarely post in this thread, but followed for years. Watching the price near 10,000usd (and around 13,000cad) is surreal.
The distance we've come since the days of 30,000btc walls on bitstamp and the NotLambchop posts (wonder what account name he uses now?)

Glad to hear you were able to withdrawal.

I still have the option of doing the enhanced verification, but so far the basic verification has failed. Non U.S citizen so perhaps that's why, but if so that isn't stated anywhere on BITTREX. I'm just cautious about doing the enhanced as I'm unsure where that ID scan will end up. I'd be more trusting if my money wasn't currently held hostage by the same company. I'd like to get my withdrawal limit above 0 by doing a basic verification first.

This is where I'm at as well. Basic verification failed instantly, maybe because I'm outside the U.S? (I entered my correct info but left off the unrequired info). I'm waiting for a response asking to have basic reset and I will enter the unrequired info with that hopefully working. I don't trust doing the EV with sensitive ID only to have it fail and be in the same position. I also don't need a 100BTC withdrawal. I simply want ONE withdrawal to get my funds off the exchange. Basic Verification will suffice.

I posted in another thread, but I'll do it here as well.
Add me to the list of people waiting for a support ticket to be answered to access their funds.

Been a Bittrex user since 2014, had 'legacy' account changed to 'new' with 0.025btc withdrawal. I would have been ok with that since I could still have some access (despite being gouged on fees). Then it lowered to 0.00btc. I basic verified and it failed after providing my legitimate info. I left off the unrequired info, but perhaps it's required (middle name/passport ID etc). I don't feel comfortable trusting Bittrex and a 3rd part with a scan of my ID for the enhanced verified, how am I supposed to know where that'll end up or be sold too? Not only that but I can't even be guaranteed it'll work.

Currently been waiting a week to get a solution, which is less then most of you so I probably have a couple weeks to go. I'd be happy with a one time withdrawal to get my remaining funds out. Thankfully I don't leave a large % on exchanges, as I've learned through the years with Mintpal and Crypsy, but it's still a BS situation.

Good luck to everyone waiting.

Edit: I will also mention I don't feel it's a scam. The warning was on the walls and it's on me for not withdrawing EVERYTHING. I'm just upset the basic verification failed compounded with the slow response time while holding peoples money hostage. I remain hopeful for a resonable solution.

While I don't believe bittrex is a scam, I'm pretty disappointed with them right now.

I've used their service since 2014, likely providing them hundreds in fees (especially with a 0.001btc withdrawal fee..) and I've recently had my account (previously legacy) limited to 0.025 then 0.00btc withdrawal. I've tried the basic verification and it fails even though I have provided all my correct info. Opened a ticket and now playing the waiting game. All I ask is to be allowed to withdrawal my remaining funds and I'll be done. Seems pretty wrong to withhold from a long time user who added funds there years before verification became a thing.

I understand why they want verification and I'm ok doing so (Not happy about trusting a 3rd party with my identity though) but at least have it work, or respond with a solution in a reasonable time when it doesn't.

I do hope I'll be allowed to get my funds out, and the rest of you who have had issues.

Yeah, I remember going on bitstamp and watching that 30,000btc sell wall thinking wtf. Not sure how that would go over today...

His post is a bit of an oxymoron... I think he means choose a side, but the probability of choosing left is minimal, a.k.a we are forking to the right!

In all seriousness though, in a perfect world the idea is great. Sadly humans are not often capable of putting aside differences once they are entrenched in their ideas, at least not until there is some negotiating at a higher level. If core and unlimited developers got together and hashed out ideas starting from a middle ground and discussing solutions to problems they disagree on, we might have progress. If bitcoin is to become more than just a storage of wealth or a means to move large sums of money there will need to be some conclusion to the current debate.
