[Sikka157]

How to buy coins on bittrex? I cannot send bitcoin to my account.

You will just have to wait until their wallet is functioning, they have wallet maintenances regularly I assume this is the reason why its currently not working?

Send ETH to your account

Bittrex:

Bitcoin wallet disabled until after BIP-91 is settled. https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000761392

Read their Statement in the link.

You can just use normal trading and deposit/withdraw any altcoin during these times.

You could use shapeshift.io , they seem to be still accepting Bitcoin transactions. It will cost you another percentage though.

They could and should have announced that on their own website, in such a way that you can't miss it when you visit their site.
Who checks random third-party websites to see if they have something to say?

I didn't get it. If the bitcoin wallets are completely closed, how are people buying and selling altcoins now? If they have tokens, they can sell which is okay, but how about buying them without btc? I don't think they do it with ETH.

Bitcoin balances on Bittrex can be used normally.

Discard BTC transaction before the end of August, at least.
The threat of a split is not great, but it exists.
The forum is full of messages about this. Just wait

On how long bitcoin withrow will bi disable on bittrex exchange?
Will be on first august two coins like eth and etc, I mean btc classic?

Because of BIP 91 it's currently recommended to wait for far more confirmations before trusting a transaction that you sent.

Bittrex decided that they can't deal with this uncertainty.

You could always use another altcoin exchange (preferably not Poloniex or YoBit), or you could wait until after August 1st when the disruption finishes.
