Hive is great project but HITbtc is terrible exchange.
i tried to snd to my Etherwallet 20000 HVN.
Result?
Transaction blocked from the 10 of december, no answer from the HITbtc support, HVN withdraw service not available anymore.
No trace of the tokens.
very very bad. And i still ahve more 15000 HVN on HitBTc that i don't know how to redeem

suggestions are well appreciated!
Due to traders taking advantage of arbitrage (ie the price difference of the same coin on different exchanges), some exchanges suspend withdrawls until the prices of coins stabilise across the exchanges. Although 9 days of withdrawl suspension seems a long time. I've only seen hitBTC do it for a day or so then open withdrawls again. Sorry, but you might have to just ride this one out.
Hey Matt22222,
I know what are you going through, because I had the very same problem with withdrawal from hitbtc on Dec 6th.
The transaction was pending for 5 days until I've received it. I 've already posted this issue I had around that date on this thread.
I've also tried, just like hundreds of others to contact hitbtc via email and at their website support page. No reaction at all from their side, just one email from a bot that they are sorry and I have to be patient.
So my suggestion is: stay relaxed, you will not (99,99%) loose your tokens, it just takes so much fucking patience and I know how frustrating this is.
The bottom line is that we need better exchange asap just like me and others suggested on this thread.
However I don't know what it takes to be listed on big exchange. I believe it takes some time and also cost some amount of money and hope Hive team is working on that or will work on that soon.
