Re: LoyceV's Hero Small 10 Month 10 Person 10 Altcoin Investment Experiment: STARTED

I received a PM asking about my Bittrex-status:
Bittrex has lowered thousands of withdrawal limits to 0BTC, including my account. Many people on Bitcointalk complain about this. I still have 8 months to see how this develops, and still have high hopes of regaining full access, but Bittrex' behaviour is worrying.
I've sent Bittrex an ID-scan and an angry looking selfie (I hate them for that requirement!), and my account is verified again.
These tricks moved them down on my trust-list though. That kinda makes me want to withdraw all altcoins into my own wallets, but it will take a few percent on fees, and it will be a lot of work setting up the right wallets.
Any thoughs on this? I think I'll leave it for now, but if there is going to be a next version of this experiment, I want to set this part up different from the start.

I wouldn't worry about it, Loyce. I have had the same (temporary) issues across several exchanges, but these seem to go away very quickly if you always go for full enhanced verified status (or whatever they're called on whichever platform). I travel a lot and don't always reside in the same place but find that using my permanent address, with a regular bill and a very old verified bank account works.

My trust in any of these exchanges can't be any lower, but since I still use them as well (generally the only place I can buy alts easily)... the devil you got to live with I guess.

I probably won't be too mad if worst-case scenario happened (you lose access to your Bittrex), but maybe just confirm with the others.
