Bittrex - New accounts

[TheWizard]

Hi all.

Any idea when/if Bittrex will be taking on new customers?

Thanks

[salterious]

Sorry I don't but the fact that they have stopped accepting new accounts while they have back logged problems is a positive sign for anybody on Bittrex. Because as of late I have read and heard a lot about how they are giving awful service, this seems like a step in the right direction. I hope you can join the platform soon, apologies I can't provide you a timeline.

Rejecting new accounts is never a good idea. It actually stops the growth of any business.

[TimtheYoutuber]

They will let us know when they will start accepting, they havent made any announcements that I am aware of so no one would know unless they work for bittrex.

[TheWizard]

Will probably crash their servers when the influx of new accounts finally happens.

Probably when all the open support tickets in this thread are solved.  The list started at ticket number 311022 and is already up to ticket number 674384, and there's new open tickets constantly being added to it.

Don't use Bitrex, you will need to verify your account anyway if you want to withdraw your coins, I've learned this the hard way.
Accepting new members are a bad sign for business, especially crypto trading who relies on their users.
I wouldn't be surprised if they did an exit scam this year

People register to Bittrex to trade, not to open tickets.
Piled up tickets does not have anything to do with service not accepting new member, tickets can actually be solved in just a few hours if their team are effective at handling bulk questions.

If we are talking about 300 000 tikets to solve...they will open new acounts in july pffff.

They're not rejecting new accounts. The official announcements and support responses so far has been that they need to hire and train more new support staff as well as upgrading of server capacities. It's a good move and a long time coming, I've to say. I didn't like the changes they introduced recently (limiting orders and basically restricting small trades) but I guess in the long run, the existing customers will get over it and appreciate that the slowness and delays of support, withdrawals, even the order executions don't get worse.

Yes, it stops growth, but that's a whole better option than customer attrition. This is just what we have to deal with on centralised exchanges. Can we revive the push for dexs, everyone?

Decentralized exchanges have been growing, but it's not offering the convenience when it comes to trading in the exact way of centralized exchanges. Decentralized exchanges are a perfect alternative for those who are occasionally buying and selling, basically like buy today, sell next week at higher price. People love the convenience centralized exchanges offer them -- switing back and forth from one shitcoin to the other is what people are looking for. As long as that process doesn't change dramatically on the side of decentralized exchanges, the adoption will keep growing for sure, but by far not like how centralized exchanges are growing.

That really sucks.
I had to register to Binance to trade, the UI looks soooooo bad..

Of course, but that is only available for corporate accounts, which means that if you just want to use Bittrex as an average bitcoiner, you're still not able to open up a new account to trade your coins with them. They're saying that they'll 'keep us posted' with no promises for dates.

To be honest, I don't really see a reason to sign up with bittrex though. Their support is extremely slow, and they don't allow unverified accounts anymore. Their basic verification rarely works, so you always have to go for enhanced based on my opinion.

Sign up with an alternative in the meantime like Binance, if you really need to use bittrex later you can get an account pretty easily once they accept new registrants again.

I still have my friend's account unverified after 3 months of submitting all the necessary documents at bittrex. He signed up on the service in 2016 January, and have forgotten about it ever since. Usually, bittrex support will reply in 3 days up to a month, and if you try to follow uop your concern, you'll automatically be placed at the end of the queue, which I think sucks for a service who gains millions of dollars of profit every month.

And even if they open their doors for new registrants again, I wouldn't dare signing up considering the problems they encountered recently on their service.

Still, I'm ready to pay 50$ for an unverified account. Just send me a PM if you have one

They've not only blocked new accounts, but have not sorted out the verification of existing legacy accounts. I personally think they are in trouble, so if I was you, I'd look to making an account at another exchange. Try livecoin, it has a lot of alts on it.

[LEINADbtc]

I saw on reddit, they have an update or something.
Planning to open registrations soon. Also, in plans to add US/fiat transfer. Really cool if they do.

[gentlemand]

I think most of these exchanges will be ghost towns before we know it. At that point I'll be opening accounts at the ones I already haven't in anticipation of future cloggages and hopefully everyone who has problems now will have them addressed. They won't have much else to do. O how quickly fortunes change.

I also wouldn't encourage to open an account on Bittrex. Some activities of this exchanger seem to me not customerfriendly, if not illegal (setting account limits without warning to 0). They want sensible data now from all accounts (ID verification) at any limit. I will watch this exchanger but not entrust my data or money.

So that's why i'm having problems registering Bittrex. Just when i fell like starting and that issue occurs man my luck has never been better.

I see your point to have an atleast have privacy and no further information about your real life. What can we do they manage it for expand their security and transparency.
