It has it's faults but it's not a scam. Check your email again. Make sure you have the right email and check again if you were able to confirm the withdrawal.

Its not stucked.  Actually they have a new trading policy that requires their trader to have atleast 0.01 btc before making any positions.
If you want to save your BTC,  then fund it again. Make sure it is divisible by 0.01 so you can withdraw it if you are in doubt of hitbtc.

I made an account  on HITBTC and used it for few times. I was not happy with their service , they charge so much for token transfer so I was out.

One of the crypto exchange that I like to trade is HitBTC. So far transactions have been smooth for me. Maybe it was just a technical error but I think definitely not a scam.

You gotta check it again. I think there is some other problem, because it is working well. Maybe you have made some mistake and that  is why  you are not able to transact from Hitbtc. Otherwise  it  is perfectly fine. And what are those bad things that you've heard about them. Any references please!? I think all of them must be rumors most probably, spread without any base.

P.S.: Don't believe any  stupid rumors and try it once more!

Hitbtc is a good platform of exchange, they have a good reputation and nice trading.
they are not scam, sometimes the mistake are in users side.
make sure you have it all correct. double check everything.
sometimes BTC got stuck not just in hit but anywhere.

Other than glitch on their minimum amount that can be traded there is nothing wrong on my side. If email is not being delivered than it might be problem with your email provider. Always use Gmail or yahoo like well known email provider and font forget to check junk/spam folder.

However hitbtc is not the best place to trade. I prefer binance over all other altcoin trading platform.

Noticed that people have complaints about all exchanges.. Even the strongest ones get accused of scamming.

Relax, if they were scammers, they probably wouldn't be existing for so long. It's probably something on their side, a minor inconvenience maybe. Maybe it's maintenance?

Need some spare btc for a new PC that can at least run Adobe Dreamweaver.

Binance is the absolute king when it comes to altcoin exchanges, but the thing that keeps people steering to exchanges as Hitbtc, is that they are more likely to list rubbish coins.

Binance has become stricter when it comes to listing certain coins, while Hitbtc and Yobit keep adding rubbish coins like they don't even bother to perform a basic check. It's only the potential fee income they care about.

The only way to get rid of these exchanges is to stop using them, but that's not very likely with how they manage to attract thousands of new users every month due to the stricter policies of the other exchanges.

It's an unstoppable process unfortunately.

BSV is not the real Bcash. Bcash is the real Bcash.

Yea idk what it happening a few days ago I withdrew about 5 different coins from there and every time I used it I always got the email fine so I don't think it's my email provider it has to be on there end. Because I only encountered this problem today no other time when I used the exchange (I've deposited and withdrew maybe 5 times from the exchange and everytime got an email)

Hey All,

I have some btc stuck on hitbtc there is no email coming so I can withdraw my coins is hitbtc a scam I've read a few bad things about them on here. What do you guys think?

If it's just a verification email not being sent, then it's probably their email service provider being down or something like that. Most likely a fault in their system, and not actually them intentionally trying to scam you. But obviously it makes their services pretty unreliable to say the least.

Even though that I would definitely avoid HitBTC when I can, I wouldn't go as far as calling them a scam.

They are extremely shady though in the past, and they ask for tons of unnecessary info on your deposits like fund origin, ID docs, utility bills. Plus, their support is unreliable. All in all, I wouldn't use them even if they are not considered to be a scam.

Yea after this experience I'm not going to use them again they have not been very helpful and it's annoying having a bunch of my money stuck on their site....

This is a fake news. Check email address. Many times, sending such emails from fake emails. Do not allow to less than 0.01 for withdrew. The mail may come in that case.

Yes it was .09 btc not the issue I've checked it 20 times believe me it is not on my end it is on their end I withdrew from their site about 5 or 6 times they are unresponsive for the support tickets I opened and I have my btc stuck on their site for almost a whole week now. This is not good business on their part, horrible customer service and unreliable site.
