Ethereum transactions delayed on some major exchanges

in ethereum •  7 years ago 

A weird thing is happening at the moment between the Ethereum network and some major exchange.

A friend of mine withdraw some Ethereum  from Poloniex to his Mist wallet yesterday and the transaction "disappeared". Poloniex did not give him a Tx. He wrote to support and got no answer yet.

Today, Poloniex and Coinbase wrote that the Ethereum transactions will be delayed. (Coinbase : https://status.coinbase.com/incidents/wvhcfrftmdlx and for Poloniex it is written when you want to deposit/withdraw the coin on your account).

Is it a coincidence that this happens in the same time for Coinbase and Poloniex ?

I found another user in difficulty and no answers yet : https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/18460/missing-ethereum-transaction-from-poloniex-to-myetherwaller.

I would be glad to discuss in comment with you what could be the reason for such an event  and if you know if any other exchange is hit.

Hi Grinn,

Thanks for the article! I have a friend who had the same problem with one of those exchange... Pretty intense when you think about it!

Indeed. I don't know what happened with my previous comment but I wanted to point out that it was because of the STATUS ICO.
By the way, now that Gdax had this flash crash on ether, the ETH/USD is blocked again on Coinbase...
