I used to like the exchange, from the beginning to the next 2 days, i dont know if it has something to do with the OS or the IP Address from where its reached but i have to validate "im not a robot" and the image recaptcha every time i switch windows (from lending to exchange for example). I felt like i was used as a human algorithm to validate those pictures. Sure Poloniex is well known but not as user friendly and simple as in my opinion could be.

LOL.

If you actually have been paying attn to all the upset people online at this issue, and how important this news was, you would not even make this comment, which has now paid you almost $8.

And to misdirect stuff and try and blame me for anything is equally as ridiculous.

Brutal. LOL

People have been wondering if they would EVER get their BTS out of their, and why a top 15 crypto wallet is locked down for weeks.

I am glad the news got out on this, and I have received a lot of thanks from people for messaging them etc.

Matt and I are both out $500 SBD each, simply trying to transfer to them, for an exchange.

UPDATE: Fuck yes! Finally, my BTS is OFF of Poloniex (confirmed to be in my native wallet)!!! Now, to recover my ~$500 SBD and get my other currencies off of the exchange . . .

Done & Done. Will update once (HUGE IF) the BTS hits my native wallet.

Thanks for the heads up, that was much needed. Been waiting forever . . . Feels great to lose about 30% in value! Hooray!

You guys could have just sold your bitshares, bought Dash or Bitcoin, moved the funds off exchange, to another exchange, and then rebuy your bitshares. You could have even done a Changelly move, where you send off bitcoin to the anonymous exchanges, and received the bitshares into a bitshares wallet. Just a thought.

I know all that, but why should I have to, ?

you're missing the point here.

[-]

crypto-investor (61) · 7 years ago (edited)

I guess I don't understand why people would leave their funds stranded on poloniex for multiple weeks. If poloniex fully crashed and there was a loss of funds, people would just be out the money. Safer to convert the funds and get it on a private wallet then leave it on an exchange for weeks on end hoping withdrawals are enabled.

barrydutton (74) · 7 years ago

1/ What about if you made a trade late at nite on the biggest exchange in the world, with lots of volume and liquidity and were tired and went to bed?

2/ What if you executed a trade position at 11 am and went to the bathroom and came back 3 mins later and your wallet was now LOCKED by said exchange for weeks on end??

3/ What if you are totally new to all this, and learning your way, and maybe this was your first trade??

I get it. Believe me.

But how about you place the blame squarely on the source of the problem, the exchange ---- who did not return msgs for hundreds of tickets, did not communicate with people, did not post about it, nothing.

For the love of God man a couple of the comments in this thread are stupid.

Concerned about poloniex. Deposited ETH there 5 days ago and it is not showing on my balance yet. However my BTC did. Do we think Poloniex is a scam or just incompetent? I struggle to see why it is a scam as this website has hundreds of thousands of users all paying fees, this site could be a very profitable long term business for the owners, so why would they steal funds to make a quick buck?

When dealing with many in the BTS community, they would recommend you look into that and the exchanges connected to that community, there are a few.

Apart from that side of things there are many many exchanges available.

I don't name them for many reasons, but both of these things are really easily searchable and you have to find the right one that fits YOU.

Thanks Barry! I just checked Polo and my BTS is still locked in a trans error. I tried to transfer the coins to Bittrex on 6/2 and they never made it, despite having a proper deposit address and everything. I have opened 3 separate support tickets and still not one word from Polo. I know one other person this happened to and she eventually got her coins but I'm beginning to lose hope that I'll ever get mine back. It's crazy.
