As some of you may have noticed HitBTC disabled their deposits and withdrawals regarding ~ 47 assets (including Steem) for maintenance almost 1 month ago. Since then there haven't been any announcements about the situation or any signs of a solution.
Some of the assets with disabled withdrawals and deposits don't really suffer from the maintenance as they're also listed on other exchanges. However there are some currencies only listed on HitBTC for now and they're literally getting destroyed by HitBTC's ridiculously long maintenance.
Would it be too much to ask for an announcement about the reason for the maintenance and some regular status-updates?
Of course I know HitBTC is not the only exchange with practices like that but it would be nice if the community would help trying to add some pressure to HitBTC to prevent similar lack of transparency in future.
If you'd like to help you could send them a short message on their social media... Most likely they won't really care but who knows - maybe there'll be a reaction.
