Hey dear GRINers, I’ve bought my GRIN in Bittrex and it stayed there. Happens that the wallet is on maintainence since Sep 7th, is this happening with somebody else? I mean their blocking withdrawls/deposits, specially now that is close to 1$ and i wanted to add to my position ☹ Hugs to all Nelson ---

I hadn’t heard of any issues at Bittrex. Interested to hear if other community members have had this trouble too. ---

Chronos. The issue is that you can’t withdraw and deposit GRIN to Bittrex anymore. ---

Yep, this happened after the hard fork in July. You cant deposit or withdraw, just buy and sell. ---

Best advice is to sell grin for BTC, send BTC to another exchange like (Bitforex, Poloniex, KuCoin) and buy Grin at the low low price of .00011731! ---

I contacted their support and withdraws and deposits are open again. They responded “please withdraw your funds as soon as possible”. Not so sure what that means, but withdraw worked Cheers ---

> [@halfdan](#): > > They responded “please withdraw your funds as soon as possible”. What? Are they closing down their Grin markets? ---

I don’t expect them to close the markets, will let you know if I hear more ---

Maybe they just really believe strongly that you should not store crypto on centralized exchanges. 😃 ---

Ha, that would be too wise 😉 The last reply from Bittrex support said they’ll continue trading and keep their Grin wallet open. I’d recommend to move your coins somewhere else though
