Please post experiences of Bitcoin exchanges at the current time. Opening accounts, trading, deposits and withdrawals.
Here are my observations in the last few days
Coinbase/GDAX: tried to verify account multiple times but no reply from coinbase. People did report success if using the mobile app but that was over a week ago.
Bitstamp: can still transfer less than $10,000 to an existing account. Larger sums get lost both in and out. One guy on reddit is waiting for a $1.8m wire.
Bittrex: not opening new accounts.
Binance: I cannot login but was able to credit BTC to account this morning.
Bitfinex: awaiting verification from weeks ago.
Gemini: awaiting verification from this week.
What are your experiences at the moment? What exchanges are working?
I have been able to set up a coinbase/gdax account and use it.. I have even been able to extra verify it and increase my limits (not that I'd use them up).. The limits don't really increase that much.. Enough for a small timer like me sure but not enough for serious business unless you request a certain amount..
Well I think it's nice of them to be honest about it because it's the truth.. A lot of people get real suspicious when their are major movements and eschanges go down, rightfully so, including myself, because it would be a good way to scam..
Butt.. I have sceen it happen with my own 2 eyes on pretty much EVERY exchange I have ever traded and yeah, huge volume like DDOS's the exchanges..
I wonder why they seem not to be very salable.. Even the centralized 3rd party can't scale imagine that..
What the hell are they running up against? Bottle necking bandwidth? Server processing power?
Why can't they get their shit together and improve the infrastructure?
I can understand small exchanges being cheap but coinbase? Kracken? Finex? God they make so much money they should be able to afford top of the line services..
