RE: Same shit, different Exchange... throwing Bittrex the Red Flag! Use with caution
Now that I read this I'm glad I took everything out of Bittrex and not dealing with them anymore now. In my case, the first alarm bells started ringing when I moved my Neo from their exchange and somehow 0.3 Neo seemed to end up in their pockets even after I paid the fees...never a reply as to why that happened...They seem to think it's normal to keep everything after the comma. I had a similar experience as yours, with Blockchain. I was able to buy BTC with my debit card, but when I wanted to move it to an exchange, they refused and I had to verify my account. I'm not sure why this is all happening right now, but it seems to be going on with lots of exchanges and wallets now. Thank you @nanzo-scoop
I think that's real shady, allowing people to be 'verified' enough to deposit their funds but not verified enough to withdraw them! It's tantamount to stealing in my eyes.
This is just horrible, and I don't understand yet why Basic verification is not enough, as in the case of this post, or in my case, which I have seen I need a few days ago, in order to withdraw my money from Bittrex. Why is this needed and why should I send them a photo of my face and also my id? I feel controled and this is not the purpose of blockchain. It is not the control of population the thing to be achieved by this technology, but freedom and free market!
Agreed @nanzo-scoop...It seems to be happening with more than one exchange, Bittrex now, Blockchain and even spectrocoin. The last two are both dealing with Coinify, so I'd say it's them that are doing this. But with Bittrex I don't know. But I think Bittrex taking 0.2 Neo, when I already paid the fees, is theft too...I opened a ticket with them and never heard back.
