I used to have a bittrex legacy account. Bittrex asked me to do basic verification and I did input some blah blah name. Well, now my account status is suddenly 'new' (instead of 'legacy') and I can't withdraw any coins. And I can't I redo the basic verification process. Would it be stupid to start an enhanced verification process? Because my name is different than the one I did input in the basic verification process. Or what should I do?
You should ask support to reset basic info. Otherwise you will not be able to pass EV automatically. Nobody isn't answering me about resetting the basic info. Has anyone had any luck phoning Bittrex? This is where I'm at as well. Basic verification failed instantly, maybe because I'm outside the U.S? (I entered my correct info but left off the unrequired info). I'm waiting for a response asking to have basic reset and I will enter the unrequired info with that hopefully working. I don't trust doing the EV with sensitive ID only to have it fail and be in the same position. I also don't need a 100BTC withdrawal. I simply want ONE withdrawal to get my funds off the exchange. Basic Verification will suffice.

Basic Verification will suffice. Exactly. This one final transfer should be an option for everyone BEFORE they make the changes. They should send an email saying 'you have 7 days to withdraw your funds or you will be forced to supply documents' They decided to force it onto users... Well let's show them you can't treat people like that. Basic verification is not going to work for anyone outside US because how could they access public records in the UK ? It will force you to use Enhanced verification with photographs and ID.

BASIC verification fails immediately for everyone as far as I can tell from this thread. So far no one has come forward and stated their account was re-opened to withdrawals after submitting this bs basic verification info.
[tinfoilhat]
It's almost as if they are working with someone who wishes to have photos and ID's of everyone trading crypto on bittrex.

Not to mention all the problems started right when BTC reached all time high... Interesting huh ?
What if we do the support 'Request to close account' thing?
Will they be forced to send us the remaning BTC?

ok, just confirmed my uncertainity. the blocking of accounts and slow verification is based on geolocation of the documents you upload. i just received enhanced verification in 5 mins with Austrian documents. never received a verification with Ukrainian documents. so Ukraine is on a ban list. seems Bittrex received a visit from US Government. I am from the United States and I'm having problems too. But, I do believe they are working with the US government because of the regional thing that happened during the first phase of this incident. I am pretty sure they are now using analytic software that is pegging any transactions that had connections to those addresses established to be accounts in those sanctioned countries ---> not anonymous anymore when they get your name and untangle the ledger!

I'd rather lose my money than provide Documents to unverified private company who will then... What... Sell, store, hand over to government of the US ? Who knows ?
This is extortion and we should really think about a lawsuit. Extortion. Essentially they are forcing documents or you will never see your money again. You can't do that. Not without notice.

Personally I don't trust this site enough to have them holding ALL my personal details. If they're not going to process any of the Basic accounts then why go through the fiasco of asking for that information in the first place? Why not post an announcement a couple of weeks prior to these changes and allow anyone who doesn't wish to hand over peronal info to an anonymous company the time to withdraw their funds and move on? It's theft, imo. Seems not many remember what brought about the invention of Bitcoin in the first place.

Really, there in nothing we can do against Bittrex? Day by day, the list is getting bigger & bigger with complains. Normally we can see peoples takes actions against low amount scammers, but what is happening now? There is no satisfactory actions against THE BIG WHALE SCAMMER bittrex. It seems they will exist with successful scams very soon.
This is the time to prevent them, otherwise it will be very late to do something against them. It is useless if police comes after the crime happens. But in this case authority can prevent before they run away.

Just a matter of how many users they manage to piss off I guess, I will wait a few more days to see how this evolves. If issues are not sorted out I will start contacting other users from the UK and will ask around lawyers who would want to get involved in group/class action lawsuit.

Two things: 1) This has been developing for a few months in phases ---> it's not new. And, 2) If this is a joint action, which it appears to be, between the US government and Bittrex, then I don't know if there's a whole lot that can be done to prevent it ---> Quantum computing will insure that the bitcoin protocol is obsolete before a lawsuit is settled if the US government is involved.

I just spoke to a friend who has a balance of over $100k (all alts). His account is EV and he wasn't aware of any of these issues. He just successfully withdrew some coins as a test after I told him about the issues I was having. Not all users are affected here. There is still some hope.

This is EXACTLY the problem. Bittrex tries to FORCE everyone to have Enhance Verification and if you don't want to do that then you may lose your money because there is no other option to withdraw.

There is no hope! It's happening in phases. I was also able to withdraw last week. But, then I made another deposit a few days back and tried to withdraw and I was denied. My trade didn't even get covered so I was only trying to withdraw exactly what I deposited. I even told them that I would like to close my account and withdraw my funds ---> they said nope ---> So, I gave them everything they asked for Enhanced Verification and they still wouldn't let me withdraw.

Yeah, I am really pissed that I've had to dox myself but for the amount at stake I don't have a lot of choice.

Possible reasons your account may be disabled:
You requested that your account get disabled We suspected your account was hacked and disabled it for you You attempted to verify your account with an identification document that has already been used Your account was involved in irregular trading activity You violated the Bittrex terms of service How do I qualify to auto enable my disabled account?
Account value must be below 0.5 BTC Your account must be Basic or Enhanced Verified You must have disabled your own account by clicking the link in one of the emails Bittrex sends one of my accouts contain less than $500, i was able to withdraw most of the funds before it got disbled, according to the statment i should be able to enable my account by my self since the value is less than $1000, well so i thought. this will be the end of bittrex as we know it

Had my LEGACY Account everything worked fine. Then without warning the account was turned into a NEW account with 0.025 BTC limit. After 3 weeks limit dropped down to 0. Now I can't withdraw anything.
They also changed their FAQ page. Limit on NEW accounts are 0 now before 0.025 BTC I don't think they can't just change their terms without giving everybody a heads up.
Support just says If I want my money I have to do the extended verification process. As fare as I know BASIC verification only works with US citizens. Basically everybody outside US has to send a copy of their ID to them. It's ridiculous
I'm in UK, been changed from legacy to new account status with no withdrawal allowed same as others here. Basic verification failed (instantly as expected) don't want to jump through "enhanced" hoops as no reason to trust them with sensitive documentation. They have changed terms and conditions with no warning and have basically stolen my holdings. That's the fourth exchange to steal from me if I don't get access to what they are holding from me. Interestingly the police here recently contacted me regarding the Mintpal court case asking for all my account details - supposedly to help provide prosecution evidence. Good luck to all to get your funds back.
Same here, my account was changed from 'legacy' to 'new' without prior notice and basic verification does not work. Looks like they want to force me to send the documents or I will lose my money. Slack invitation link has been limited to Enhanced verification with documents too. This is some major bullshit. (waiting for the reply to support ticket) Should we consider a group law suit or something? I'm done with this exchange, DO NOT USE BITTREX. Same here. This is ridiculous. EGACY Users should have the possibility to withdraw there coins and then close their accounts. Bittrex is changing their TERMS on weekly basis. There should have been an announcement with a date. Everybody could have withdraw if they are not happy with the new TERMS now I am stuck. BASIC verify is okey for me I don't need extended. Problem is I am not from US so my ONLY possibility is to do the extended verify. It's ridiculous BITTREX give all LEGACY users the possibility to withdraw their funds until end of year. That would be perfectly fine for me
