OK so this means that bittrex didn't implement EIP 55 yet.

EIP55 is meant to prevent errors in address copy& paste or typing by doing a "checksum". Since Ethereum didn't introduce a checksum mechanism from start, Vitalik created this method. It uses capitalisation to check if the address is correct.

In your case it's safe to send, however Bittrex should capitalize their addresses properly and implement EIP 55.

If you take your address from bitrex and paste it into Etherscan.io you will see an info page and the address will be properly capitalized there. You can then put that in Etherwall and the warning should go away.

I'd ask Bittrex to implement EIP 55 tho, this makes them look incompetent. If one guy can do it so can they.
