In a sudden move Poloniex exchange shut down it's famous troll box and issued the following statement:
To meet the increasing demands on support staff, the Trollbox has been disabled indefinitely and moderators have been reallocated to assist in support.
Many trolls are looking for a home now, maybe Bittrex will open one who knows.
It seems altcoins are breaking the rules with Bitcoin moves, it's true we do see a bloodbath every now and then with a bitcoin sudden gain, but the effect is becoming less and less damaging, in fact Alts are quick to gain those losses within a day or two.
STEEM which made a nice move on the market even at the time of the bloodbath was no surprise, as I mentioned a few days ago, STEEM compared to vaporware AMP was greatly undervalued. Some altcoins did not appreciate enough during this altcoin increase in market share, Steem ETC and Maid, were three such projects and now they are catching up.
I found this meme on imageflip
We need the Steemit community to unite to keep the momentum going. @klye is giving away baby lambo's starting next year:
klye [4:54 PM]
Next year if my net worth is over 2.5 million I'll buy you a baby lambo pfunk.
I just hope they are not manufactured with MS Paint.
I have to admit I miss it already. The end of Bitmark?

There is the exchange called https://hitbtc.com/exchange that has their own TrollBox. Maybe not as entertaining as Polo's troll box but I wouldnt be surprised if more people move to that exchange because of the chat feature. Also I noticed polo is working a lot better without the Troll Box taking up most of the processing speed on the website

Absolutely not. The number one request in the trollbox was for the mods to provide support. To that request, they always replied that they didn't have access to the support resources. With the traffic that Polo has now, it's almost purely support related in there and hourly bans. You can't even read it anymore.

poloniex going down would be like a massive fail for bitcoin and cryptocurrency! poloniex has too much at stake to allow that to happen!
This isnt mt gox in japan, this is a delaware based corporation, and when I ran the numbers a month or two ago poloniex was making like 200,000 dollars a day ad im sure they are now making alot more probably closer to 1 million a day and so theyre getting close to making a billion dollars in profits a year ann in crypto mostly bitcoin and it would be wise if poloniex spliit up into many different exchanges like one for bitcoin one for ethereum one for monero and one for USDtether

Poloniex is starting to act like the government, they disable wallets for no reasons, blatantly refuse to process withdrawal and orders are processed on their time, especially when these coins are making a move. I notice they have been targeting certain altcoins, especially those base on CryptoNote technology, in fact, there are two altcoins, where my deposits are pending and can't even do a withdrawal. I see this as a deliberate attempt to control the volume of certain altcoins, someone needs to call them out. They love one CryptoNote coin in particular and you see how much they promote it. Someone please call them out, let the free market work, get their hands out and let the market reward and take away

Umm... they disable wallets becuase people (like me) withdrew coins which never arrived, then escalated several support tickets to complain and ask where my coins are, their only choice to mitigate these issues were to disable these wallets, its been nearly a month now and I still cannot find my coins even though the wallet has been up and down several times in the interim. They grew way too fast and have not built up a functional support team to deal with the amount of issues associated with that kind of growth, the trollbox was a bad move for them to begin with, I mean newcomers would actually take advice from the trollbox. lol

It is inbetween news. Basically TrollBox was their chat forum, and due to the popularity in the chat people fear activity will die down but it wont/ As a matter of fact since they suspended the chat, the sites performance has been a lot better, before the site would crash and freeze often. TrollBox was very active and I believe that played a major roll in the sites ability to run. If you do like to chat check out other exchanges like https://hitbtc.com/exchange also they have more selection. But you can always sign up for both :)

The interest is depending on what people lend.
I still have a month on one 60-day 0.1945% going - thats roughly 70%/year.
If you would lend now you would not even get 0.19% in a year, its down to 0.0001 and I don't think it can get lower.

Any Exchange Trollbox
should have the option of individual ignore lists. The scrolling would be quite slow indeed, once you put the idiots and spammers on ignore.
Unfortunately, most trollboxes don't have individual control like that. From a bandwidth point of view, not sending ignored content to end users would have some significant savings over a years time.

I really am glad about this. Polo is just a scammy exchange for whales with part owner Barry Silbert. We don't need this kind of exchange in Cryptos as we mature to mainstream, and Polo is responsible (with barry silbert coindesk) to hurting ETH by launching ETC to confuse try to hurt ETH growth. Didn't work, but shows polo was first to list ETC without shorting, but ETH has full shorting available. Time we move on from POLO, the scumbag exchange.
