After some digging the following company also seems to have a connection to HitBtc. Cryptopay INC Ltd GUNIASHOV, Dmitrii (<-- registered owner) ACTIVE Correspondence address 145/147, Hatfield Road, St. Albans, England, AL1 4JY Role Director Date of birth November 1988 Appointed on 14 October 2013 Nationality Russian Country of residence United Kingdom Occupation Director https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08730592https://cryptopay.me/Address: Flat 3, 92 Wilton Road London SW1V 1DU The address corresponds with the address of HitBtc's initial shareholder and owner, Georgii Basiladze (born 24/08/87 in Russia). There are/were several more companies registered on that address, and in at least one of them both Georgii and Dmitrii are registered as active directors. They actually changed the addresses some time ago, so the link wasn't visible immediately, but np, the internet will find out. CPS TRANSFERS LIMITED Company number 10311113 Registered office address 145/147 Hatfield Road, St. Albans, England, AL1 4JY Company status Active Company type Private limited Company Incorporated on 3 August 2016 https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10311113/persons-with-significant-control2 active persons with significant control / 0 active statements Mr Dmitrii Guniashov ACTIVE Correspondence address 145/147, Hatfield Road, St. Albans, England, AL1 4JY Notified on 6 April 2017 Date of birth November 1988 Nationality Russian Country of residence England Nature of control Ownership of shares – More than 25% but not more than 50% Ownership of voting rights - More than 25% but not more than 50% Right to appoint and remove directors andMr Georgii Basiladze ACTIVE Correspondence address 145/147, Hatfield Road, St. Albans, England, AL1 4JY Notified on 6 April 2017 Date of birth August 1987 Nationality Russian Country of residence Russia Nature of control Ownership of shares – More than 25% but not more than 50% Ownership of voting rights - More than 25% but not more than 50%

What kind of multi-million dollar exchange has such poor poor service??
HitBTC. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The thing with this exchange is that it has had a very questionable reputation since its very first public appearance. It's like 50% of its user base has no real issues with this exchange, and the other 50% experiences problems all the time. It's a structural problem they suffer from, that nowadays has grown to even larger proportions. But then again, there are more exchanges that can't cope up with the increased usage, especially when it comes to their support. It's like they don't want to invest in expanding their entire staff that's meant to handle support tickets in a timely manner. I don't see it getting any better in the upcoming months.... unicorn logo...zero red flags :-D haha

Apparently HitBtc has a registration in Hongkong as of 28 march 2017, having left the United Kingdom because no annual return (AR01) has ever been filed. Financial position is therefore unknown. Hit Solution Limited is registered in Hong-Kong jurisdiction with the company number 2510720. It might probably move out of there as well, as soon as the HK authorities demand for the annual return / financial position to be filed, which of course is by definition flawed. CR No.: 2510720 Company Name: Hit Solution Limited Company Type: Private company limited by shares Date of Incorporation: 28-MAR-2017 Active Status: Live Remarks: - Winding Up Mode: - Date of Dissolution / Ceasing to Exist: - Register of Charges: Unavailable Important Note: - Name History Effective Date Name Used 28-MAR-2017 Hit Solution Limited https://www.icris.cr.gov.hk/csci/CBDS_Search.doViewing a document can cost up to $200, which might explain their choice for Hongkong after they left the UK in a hurry.

and another address turned up in a filed AR01 from 2013. The document actually states that this is a a service address, but a quick peek on Google shows a private home and the real estate agent states it's in leasehold of the same owner since 2012. That is if their website's data is accurate. This is probably the address they lived before they moved to an address mentioned earlier (Flat 3-92), see documentation: AR01 / Annual Return 2013 Mobile Systems Consultancy LtdAD01 / Change of Registered Office Address 2014 Mobile Systems Consultancy Ltd

Okay so here is my case. I had a recent Ether withdrawal from HitBTC. We all know the excellent swiftness of the ETHER network that any transaction with a good amount of gas will be confirmed within a minute at max. Even every exchange process eth withdrawals quite quickly. But here is Hitbtc. It has much more withdrawal fees than normal exchanges. A fees of 0.01 ETH while its just 0.002 on exchanges like Mercatox. But the main problem is that I processed a withdrawal yesterday and it took more than 24 hours for that withdrawal to get on the ethereum blockchain it was because they didn't even sent the transaction to network for more than 24 hours kept it to themselves.

What was the status of the transaction according to HitBTC? In most cases there are several indications like when a withdrawal needs to be authorized, or that it's pending, etc.... If it according to HitBTC was stated as sent, where most cases an exchange also provides you with a transaction ID, and it still took so long to show up on the network, it's likely them having had technical difficulties. Or it could be that their node wasn't entirely up to date, and for that reason it took so long to push it to the network. While I can understand that it's pretty annoying since you want to have your withdrawal available as soon as possible, this doesn't fit in the category of shady or scam.

This does ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fh1UMVwS.png&t=665&c=u886080y4c4eJA) other docs: uk.govWanna bet the annual return forms and financial documentation of Binance and Poloniex show something different than 1 EUR. HitBtc has no activities, no personnel, never had any, says every document. According to the documentation this company never did anything at all. Shell. Oh and btw, where do all the people that do customer support come from? And do they work for free?

Not trying to defend them but I know for a fact that both ethereum and bitcoin networks have been clogged for some time and just yesterday even the swift network of eth i had to wait for over an hour to get my eth transaction through which had a decent fee attached to it.
HitBTC needs to own up and convince us that they have the experience to deliver better services to the crypto users and some of their fees are ridiculously expensive i wonder how they compute these numbers they need to readjust them to be more fair and competitive on the market

HitBTC is really the ugliest exchange I've ever used.
With tons of problems! There's is a chance that you're withdrawal will not proceed. I wouldn't advise anyone to use them. Also their withdrawal fees are crazy, $10 for ETH, almost a buck for Ripple??

the same thing happen to me but with Cryptopia but that's not a scam or something bad at all cuz the ETH network had overload , i'm not defending on HitBtc cuz they have no support and that's a strange thing, for now just avoid that exchange

I'm trading there and I see them great Wow sound like you work for them. That's odd because there is no documentation listing any employees ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) The previous owners (director and major shareholders) did the right thing by getting rid of this exchange. The company with which they originally started before getting into this nonsense still runs smoothly, and is far less confusing when following the data/paper trail. By taking a quick peek in the UK company registers (company nr 08730592) it seems this is a nice up and running company; it earns money, the filed documents add up, it earns money, the financial situation is filed, it earns money, and most importantly they don't hide anywhere that this is their company, in fact they show themselves on the website. The fact that they actually run a company in the crypto market that earns them free income for some years already implies that the need of hosting an illegitimate exchange on the side isn't actually there. Getting involved with HitBtc might in the end even work against them. It is probable that the situation of HitBtc in the UK (that is until March 6 2017, documents: Application to strike the company off the register) was as followed: - Crime boss smells money - Crime boss wants crypto currency exchange platform - Crime boss pays someone to sign the paperwork - That someone pretends to be the owner - Company runs for up to <2 years and dissolves because of inactivity or files a request to dissolve and the cycle starts over.. and the crime boss can be anyone and will of course never be found. edit: <2 years btw because that is the maximum amount of time you can evade a government tax bureau
