Is Yobit scam?

[BitHodler]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

[dragonus]

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

[dragonus]

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

Hi
Thanks for report

from their twitter

Dns Issues, 2-3 hrs

[Nivir]

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.
