How to transfer Bitcoin to your Bittrex account and set up your Hopper.
Step 1. Go to Bittrex.com and login or create an account.
Step 2. Verify yourself. This is to prevent money laundering. When you're at the homepage of your account, click settings, then “Basic Verification”. Fill in the required fields and you're done!
Step 3. Select "Wallet" at the top menu bar. Next, click the + sign next to Bitcoin. Deposit your funds on the address that is shown.
Step 4. Now we have to give your Hopper permission to trade on your behalf. This is done with an API Key. You will have to activate two-factor authentication before you're able to create API Keys.
With your 2FA set up, go to the API Key settings. As shown below, enable "read information", "trade limit" and "trade".
In the interest of your security as a Cryptohopper customer, we do not want withdrawal permissions!
Step 5. Now you've created your keys, it's time to configure your Hopper. Go to your Hopper's dashboard and click Config. Choose Bittrex as your exchange. Fill in your API key and your API secret key. Click "Save".
Unable to see your exchange balance?
There are a few things that could prevent your hopper from synchronizing the funds of your exchange. In most cases, it’s because the browser that you use has "auto-fill" enabled. This means that the browser fills in certain text fields themselves. There are three things you can do:
Disable autofill.
Use incognito mode of your browser.
Use a browser that you don't use often.
And you're done! Check our community forum where users share their Hopper settings.
