IT'S NOT ONLY AMM!!!
IT'S NOT ONLY AMM!!!
IT'S NOT ONLY AMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact the defrauding happens at all kinds of coins and tokens of HitBTC, including which are not based on or related with Ethereum!!!

This is my examine result:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2551767.0

your case is almost the same as the case of my close friend
but my friend does not really care about his money, because the amount may not be as big as yours
from the case, I became scared, because my money was partly in HitBTC. and still sitting in orderbook
do you have a solution?

Same thing happened to me with a withdrawal a few days ago. Took well over 24 hours, but it did eventually come through. I didn't withdraw ETH though, I was withdrawing BTC. They're definitely having some issues lately.

I think people are explaining about the AMM, so they are paying withdrawal to other altcoin. How it is possible few people are very positive with this exchange and many companies after ICO they start listing HitBtc only.

It's not just this thread. If you do a quick search, you'll see how many people are complaining about this exchange, and that for quite a long time now. This exchange has never had a spotless reputation, which usually is a bad sign.

Bittrex was quite a decent altcoin exchange, which I am also using, but due to the regulations they are subject to, thousands of accounts have been blocked for no reason, which is a shame, especially in current times.

Bitstamp, Coinbase, GDAX, Coinsbank, are quite capable. Kraken is an exchange I would recommend as well, but they have experienced a lot outages which is driving people nuts. Think good before signing up somewhere.

thank you for the list!
at the first place i was going to register on hitbtc because of ripple and monero, so i've picked kraken as soon as it has both of them on trade. though there is the thread about permanent 520 errors on kraken and bitfinex now. this exchangers industry is so unstable

Kraken is aware of the issues and blame the rapid growth for the faillure on their part, which is understandable to a certain extent, but still amateurish. I get it that an exchange can't instantly adapt to the rapid growth we have gone through, but an exchange as Kraken should never ever be this incompetent. Not sure how many people have left to find a better performing exchange elsewhere, but one doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to understand that a non functioning exchange isn't something you want to make use of any longer. Bitstamp is a great exchanger with a proven track record of being far more reliable than all these other pathetic exchanges. And please don't sign up at Bitfinex, it's an exchange that at some point will implode with their Tether garbage.

They make sure to be out of reach but they aren't; if you want to find them you will



This is what i found in 3 minutes of internet research:

Not sure what it is worth, but that’s a start

theyve tied up my USDT since yesterday and making me lose money..can not move it to trading account, or withdraw it. cant do anything. when i sent the money there was no warning that it is under maintenance etc. seems like from their forums it has been that way for a few days. unbelievable, who will compensate me for losses caused by them? they have done this to 1000s of customers just now..

[bitcoinz777]

I think they may be a scam. My bitcoin hasn't been transferred in 4 days and counting. They seem to get everyone's transactions stuck in limbo. Even coins that are fast are stuck forever and don't seem to get to the destination wallet. I'm not exactly sure how they do it. How does this work?

Is there an update about those who have sent an email to i@micromoney.io ?? whether their money has been refunded .. I have sent email and proof of my transaction but until now no results at all. I think it's useless because they do not do something.

[funny_flip]

hitBTC is not crediting my deposit of SUB totalling $10K. Has been 2 weeks already. They are not responsive on any venues. My view is the communicty should make them stop operating until they do the firefight https://www.reddit.com/r/hitbtc/comments/7kzkrt/hitbtc_stopping_their_ongoing_operations_needed/

The best thing to do for now is to contact directly the Micromoney support team to find more clarification regarding on this issue, and you will surely not find any good information since some of the comments here are base only on speculation, But I want to know more on whats happening since luckily I select to hold my AMM on my wallet.

So about Ripple, rNUyxNugxv67vhQZZCif2Ru1Hb4APNmwUS - Poloniex account that receives all withdrawals from hitBTC wallet(300k+ per transaction). Also hitBTC address has only 88k ripple on balance.
