withdrawal has been disabled
On the grounds that my account is suspicious

That is a trend that all exchanges implement when they are selective scamming their users.

They have automatic messages

So have you tried to contact them via Twitter?

They asked me to activate KYC
Requirements for KYC are for those who want to withdraw more then 1 BTC
My $ 50 account

I haven't seen such rules (that KYC isn't needed for withdrawals less than 1 BTC), but I guess if they ask for this data and you need this $50 you should cooperate with them.

Does 50 bucks be worthy with your personal information? I guess not.This isn't something new not only on some exchangers but also on other gambling sites as well.

Selective scamming with their users and asking out KYC verification later on which would leave out no choice for users who had been blocked or banned or hold up their withdrawals.

A bit like Livecoin then (which you are promoting for payment), but not as bad if TOS are anything to go by.

Good day!

What is the way to check the coins that were recently delisted in HitBTC ?
Some markets just dissappear all of a sudden and NO INFO about delistings at all!
Could some of them be back in the future of they delisted forever?

HOW COULD I CHECK IT?

I could not find a list of the delistings only this article about removed coins and it redirects to the socials to keep a eye on. Next best would be the system monitor they provide to see if it is offline.

No way to check as they don't even send email alerts to inform users about the coins that have been delisted and this happened with me many times earlier where they just stopped trading the coins and I had to email  them as they had paused the withdrawal too. We just need to check the account portfolio regularly to see if the coin is still being traded. One positive is that they don't discard those coins and enable withdrawals for them.

The delisted coins may never been relisted. No explanation is given as to why they were delisted too.

Thank you guys for the explanations.

Normally, exchanges warn people about future delisting several days/weeks BEFORE it really happen.
And in HitBTC delistings are always done all of a sudden which is very uncomfortable.

Add the scam accusations (selective scamming) then things are looking bleak for HitBTC.

Just wondering why a Russian Yobit shill account is suddenly posting in another scam exchange thread with BIG letters......?

If you had any problems with Yobit your should discuss them on their page instead of spamming here   
By the way, are there any exchanges that you consider as 'non scam' ?

In short, it is selective scamming. The complaints are piling up against HitBTC.

How much longer before HitBTC get shut down by authorities?

You're right. I think it's a new strategy from exchanges. They pretend a security issue on your account to block your funds and to ask you several personal documents.  It's more hypocritical than suddenly changing the terms and conditions without warnings, but less blatant...

It is less blatant to the unseen eye but for those that have seen this type of scam infest in the crypto community we can spot it a mile away...

They are selective scamming users in ever increasing numbers thus bringing about the end of their scam website closer and sooner

Yes, I also experienced in BTC-Alpha asking too many documents, then rejects it and ask again until you give up. It is quite surprising why still so many people keep using HitBTC despite its many unsolved issues.

There would be no other way but this one would end up into that situation.They are just trying to make their business messed up and tending to go into the same
path where Yobit is currently on. Scam exchange but still operating in spite of few number of users,they do really like to victimize new users who arent even
aware into these kind of exchangers reputation.

They might end up selling ID to criminals too. There is no guarantee these scammers will protect your KYC

There's no scamming. If you didn't notice after completing KYC people withdraw their coins. No one gets robbed.

False. Many users report giving all the requested data and still not receiving their money.

Besides, the KYC/AML procedure is invoked for even the smallest of amounts, like $50. This is not a practice focused on security. It's simply scamming, stalling and as mentioned above, possibly even identity theft.

HitBTC has never even tried to prove the IDs/documents are secured and the KYC requests are in any meaningful way justified. It's clear from all the complaints that a lot of users were directly harmed by the exchange and its affiliates. HitBTC is an unscrupulous and shady exchange. Avoid it like a plague.
