Good Info. thnxx

[bahagia-arbi]

Hello @bareydutton, thanks for inform me about the issue. I can kearn much more through your post. I am a new comer on Steemit that must be active to read many contens to make me have a good understanding related to the platform. Have a nice day

Regard from Aceh, Indonesia.

[vm2904]

@barrydutton - Yes. The Bittrex Steem wallet has been showing 'Under maintenance for more than 3-4 days (that I have personally seen at least - perhaps it has been offline for more). Wonder what is going on with that. I wanted to exchange some of my bitcoin for Steem and transfer to Steemit account but have been waiting for 4 days now.
Thanks for your heads up to the community. Cheers. Upvoted

[amvanaken]

I love how Blocktrades lets us withdraw our SBD or Steem as another currency! For example, I almost always withdraw by SBD from Steemit, and make it so that they deposit in Bittrex as Dogecoin. Super fast sending, with super low fees, and no bullshit warnings because the wallet is shut down (: some people say Dogecoin is a shit coin but I think it's a lot more widely recognized than other shit coins... Ridiculously low fees, too. I've been getting charged whole dollar amounts to send BTC 😕

[royschuh]

This happens in every spike and every dive seems, if you are going to kill off withdraw/deposit options, at least be ninja about. Same shit with Coinbase on ETH up and downs, when people get frustrated they look for other options!

[codybitscott95]

So sick of all the maintenance.. when do you think all of the updates will be done ?

[hendri.sulistya]

Why centralized exchange this day so suck,
My experience about it, when i want to transfer my XEM to another exchanger, but the price go down, my balance didn't have finished transfer in 18 hours, i totally lost some money on it

[team.art]

Good information, thanks

[mavicorp]

its a bad news lol , but its always been a good news too

[michael14876]

Thanks for letting us know! I was thinking about buying some more Steem and transferring tonight until I read this!

[barrydutton]

I love hearing my posts help anyone out !!

[bibek]

thank you for sharing and making us awareness..

[barrydutton]

Thanks man, it is no problem.

[bibek]

You welcome @barrydutton

[meatspoon]

Damn, so much great info! That's why I follow you Barry.

[barrydutton]

The most encouraging thing I have heard in 2 days.

Thank you.

[andr1an0]

Thanks for sharing. It's quite annoying that bittrex is putting steem wallet off line for the second time. It seems that each time the price of steem drop they put the wallet offline.

[barrydutton]

I last blogged on it August 4th, if memory serves correctly, no problem my friend

[free999enigma]

Is an explication or something?

[denmarkguy]

I don't know what the flap the deal is with this... but it IS super annoying... and nobody even seems to know where "the problem" is... although I SUSPECT the "problem" may be attributed (at least in part) to the massive influx of newcomers, many of whom (I'm sure) are trying to cash out 25 cents at a time... putting a huge pressure on transaction volumes; probably pissing off the exchange operators.

[barrydutton]

Great points there man, for sure.

I get a few hours here or there but some of the outages are days on end ---- Oh and the BTS wallet was / is still down (again) also.

[lexikon082]

Thanks for the PSA Barry!

[barrydutton]

I have had a very hard 3 days on here, trying to stand up for what is right. I am exhausted and sick to my stomach --- so this was nice.

[lexikon082]

Oh goodness. I must have missed what has been happening. Will have to check the history. I have been super busy as we started back to homeschooling and everything started to break around the house all at once so I haven't been on as much.

I hope you are feeling better by now...as this reply is two days after your comment.

[barrydutton]

I am not, I am still the selfish bad guy by many peoples' standards.

[lexikon082]

You know how it is Barry. Sometimes we have to be like a duck in water and let it flow off our back. It's my understanding that I am a racist Mexican because I made the comment that "if a statue oppresses you, then you have bigger problems to deal with in life". The world is so easily offended these days.

[lenin-mccarthy]

Man, that's bad news, I wanted to use Bittrex because Poloniex withdrawals/deposits of Steem/SBD have been down for days now, where should I go now If I want to sell Steem?

[samuelsunday]

I love this

[cardboard]

Thanks for the heads up. We need a website that would show the status of steem on each exchange. Tip!

[barrydutton]

That is a really really good idea. I have thought to myself similar --- but you worded that nicely.

Thank you.

It's been a tough few days for me / just commented on your bot similarly.

[tipu]

Hi @barrydutton! You have just received a 0.12 SBD tip from @cardboard!

@tipU - send tips by writing tip! in the comment and get share in service profit :)
Check out @promoted - the good guy voting bot.

[barrydutton]

Thank you very much.

TY again

Bittrex Steem wallet is back online. Just logged in to move funds around and the wallet is no longer under maintenance. Thanks for the heads up @barrydutton.

[revolutionaction]

Thanks for this helpful info, barrydutton ! People who do not check the site before sending money could have problems...
