Why does Hitbtc work so slowly? They seem to be a trusted entity but people keep talking about them being slow with transactions. Does anyone have thoughts on this and any success stories with them??
Slow on what?
If you are talking about trade executions, it's working fine and smooth, at least in my own experienced and just tested it as of Im typing this.
If you are talking about withdrawals and deposits, that's the main concern of their users. The complaints about missing deposits and withdrawals has tremendously increases this year on which some of them are I think almost a year in the making and some are not answered or ignored.
I still have some altcoins playing on their platform and never did experience any major problem despite lots of complaints. But in here, it's a good reason for a new user not to used the site for the first time to minimize the risk of being caught on shit.
