I completely forgot about BitTrex' NEM wallet being offline, and I bought some and now they're stuck. I submitted a support ticket because I think having a wallet offline for a month is ridiculous. Does anyone know the status of getting this resolved for everyone? Are any NEM developers in communication with BitTrex on bringing the wallet back online?
The price of NEM seems to be in a bit of a slump right now, so figured this was as good as any a time to buy a few, but... now I'd love to harvest with them.
If I understood well,
You've been able to purchase XEM on Bittrex and you can see your XEM in your Bittrex account (NEM wallet) but you are not able to withdraw it to your personal Nano or whatever wallet, right? Please confirm.
That is correct. I sold some other coin for BTC, then used the BTC to buy NEM. The trading was just fine. But when I went to the wallets page to make the withdrawal, I saw the indication that the NEM wallet is completely offline. I'm sure my NEM is safe on BitTrex for a while, but I generally prefer to not just keep my coins on an exchange if I don't plan to trade with them soon, and well, we all know, NEM is a coin to HODL

Not to mention, depending on how many you're buying, you're also losing out on the staking rewards. I know the staking reward isn't too high with NEM because there is no supply-inflation, but it can still be a nice chunk.
