RE: Finally...Binance re-enabled Hive deposits/withdrawals
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Bittrex's HIVE wallets were actually down for a really long time (many weeks) before the fork. They likely started to update their nodes when the new 1.24 version was tagged (you can start running the new version before the fork happens) and I don't know if it just took them really long or they were waiting until the fork happened to re-enable, but it was a big pain for the people who do use Bittrex for HIVE (like me, because I refuse to use Binance after the Steem takeover).
In any case, you're definitely right that Binance typically has way more volume which is very important, and it's great that they're back up now. Just wanted to point out that Bittrex's HIVE wallets were down for a long time.
As much as I hate Binance too I think that because of its huge volumes we "need" them...I hate to say it but we do need them...
Didn't know that Bittrex's wallets were down for so many weeks. Really? I think I've bought some Hive and brought it in the platform a few weeks ago from them...hm, maybe that was prior the HF announcement.
So how does it work? They can update just by looking at github? Or they were notified?
Yes we definitely need them, no argument there. I believe all of the exchanges were notified when the new hived build was ready to go, and it was ready a while before the HF actually occurred. The HF date was pushed back because of hivemind and API issues, not core hived issues.
