Anyone else had trouble using Basic verification for Bittrex account? They claim they can't find me in public records which is just not possible given I'm born and raised in US and lived here all my life. I've also not moved in more than a decade. So they want me to use Enhanced verification by uploading a photo of myself. I'd prefer not to do that.

  1. Submitted an email to their support using support email from their contact page.
  2. I get an email stating they only support through their online ticket system and to submit my questions through that at https://support.bittrex.com/
  3. The support system said I had to be signed in. Tried signing in with my Bittrex account info and it wouldn't let me. I tried 3x and 100% sure I had the password correct. I know it was correct because I signed into my Bittrex account.
  4. Then I tried signing up thinking, ok maybe support area requires a separate sign up. It tells me I already have an account. Come on people, work with me here.
  5. Then I use the reset password and reset it to the exact same password it was already was. WTF? Now I'm able to log into the support. Ok whatevs.
  6. Submitted my ticket and 1 minute later an auto-reply telling me exact same crap listed on their support docs for using Enhanced Verification.
New to Bittrex. Not impressed so far. Sorry for length. My hope is that it helps someone else in same situation.

Tons of people saying bad things about this exchange did you check that ?
 
Show me an exchange people don't talk bad about?

I found lot of people saying lots of bad things about EVERY exchange. So it really feels like a total crapshoot on which to use. Might try Kraken since they are also US based.
 
You'd be stupid not to get the enhanced verification set up. Many people have had their accounts disabled because of "suspicious" activity on accounts with shit-tier basic verification. They don't give a damn how you look :D They just need proof that you are who you say you are. Blame the IRS for this, not the exchanges. Every single exchange that officially support customers from the USA will force you to go through an IDENTICAL process.

Many people do trade on basic verification accounts but I seriously wouldn't recommend it, unless you have really good reasons for why you should remain anonymous.

There's a lot of shills and suspicious reports. The exchange is fine, everything works there until proven otherwise. I've been poking around with it for months now, no issues. Verification was smooth.

This. Never had any issues with it and I have modest sums on it with just basic verification. But I will probably go for the enhanced verification just for the peace of mind.
