PSA: Poloniex Borked for STEEM/SBD Deposits or Withdrawals

in news •  8 years ago  (edited)

While the wallets are now up on the front ends both poloniex.com and bittrex.com seem to be having some sort of fails going on with the wallet that process STEEM/SBD transactions.

Be wary of sending to these exchanges at this time until they've confirmed to be working properly again. I was smart the first time and only sent $1 SBD to poloniex but then pulled a dumby assuming bittrex was operational, landing $160 SBD floating somewhere in the 1's & 0's running their operation.

Update while posting, bittrex is now showing maintenance on STEEM/SBD wallets:

UPDATE Just after posting: Bittrex is back online!

Poloniex is still showing deposit addresses.. However the $1 SBD I sent over there 35 minutes ago as of writing this has not been credited to my account. Wonderful..!

Seems two of our largest exchanges are having issues in tandem. What effect this has on STEEM price and moral I cannot say for certain. The arbitrage opportunity would be sweet if anyone could move their damn STEEM/SBD around... lmao!

Will be checking the winners of the @tippy roll 100000 stress test contest in a few hours, off to go work out some kinks in my bot. Have a great day everyone, STEEM Onwards!

Honestly I just powered up the Steem I was planning to send. No way am I risking hundreds of dollars after my test 2+ steem went amiss and haven't shown up for the past week. Finally Poloniex seems to be working, but again keywords there are "seems to be"..

keywords there are "seems to be"..

Gave me a chuckle. Thanks.

Screw Poloniex they sux! Bittrex is much better and they resolve issues much faster. But if you need something to do while they are down how about a contest?

I love me a little arbitrage :)

I have 21 steem sitting in Poloniex that I can't touch until they respond to the Ticket I filed. Instead I've been using Bittrex and haven't had any issues (knock on wood)

@kyle
Then what about the SBD or STEEM not yet confirmed on these exchanges?
I was hoping for Bittrex will be the dearest exchange for Steem. But...
Lets see what comes...
Thanks for the prompt info

It sits in the exchanges address/account but hasn't been credited to it's rightful owners yet unfortunately.

thanks man for sharing this information this is very useful

No worries man.

Yeah still waiting for Polo deposit about 30 minutes someone new will think its not much faster than BTC to send

now i think bittrex are okay

mhm I withdrawal 100 sbd 4 hours ago - nothing happend till now ._.

Sorry to hear this. I suggest using bittrex or blocktrades if you need to exchange!

yeah i was using bittrex
I was sending 100sbd to poloniex

Yea since yesterday I've been converting to Litecoin to move my transactions around. POLO been acting funny style these days.

i didn't know that there was an opportunity on steem.am glad i have seen an arbitraging opportunity from these two exchanges

I suppose it has to do with the HF19 thing

I learned long ago that to trade on the stock exchange you just need Zen. Oh, my shattered nerves=)))))

I posted a bit about this last night, I've been very pleased overall with Bittrex over the past three weeks - Polo .... er, not so much! ;)

I have like $400 SBD floating in limbo to Poloniex . . . I don't know what the issue is, but it's getting old. I wish I could just REVERSE the SBD.

Plus, Poloniex now doesn't allow me to withdraw my BitShares . . .

WTF.

Kill me, god!!!

Oh and what is this @tippy ? Is this a new whale bot in the making or..

@tippy help

I'm still so confused, what is the rolling dice feature?

It's a random number generator.. :P

So like it doesn't actually do anything? x)

It doesn't effect funds in any way. Simply there for fun

I sent SBD to Poloniex for 5 hours and did not get it ...

Yep, they seem to be sucking. Bittrex fixes their problems fast!

I don't trust Poloniex at all. They scammed a friend so I moved all my coins from there to a phone wallet

Never keep wealth on an exchange you intend on keeping.

Yeah true

Hi there!

I sent some SBD to Bittrex yesterday without problems. Just thought I'd say

Steem on!

Bye u directly withdrawal using Bitcoin address sell option

Something isnt right with both of those exchanges, people have been complaining about them for weeks now

just in the middle of ICO of EOS :/

Ah crap I missed that.. -_-

Was going to pick up a few but haven't really done enough research into it yet.

don't worry, it just first phase. ICO of Steemit will last for almost a year, but first bundle is distribiuted during first 5-days window, after that there will be 340 23-hours long smaller windows.

Ah. Neat. Thanks for the info sir!

I think that Polo has solved the issue with Steem and Steem dollars today however I still think that Bittreix is better

I can understand if some exchange has a problems but two at the same time? What could be the reason, latest fork or something else?

As a beginner I'm not experimenting or doing anything. I will let braver and more knowledge packed users to figure this out first. (#cryptochicken lol)

June 28, 2017. 16:10 GMT. I sent 0.1 SBD to Bittrex.
June 28, 2017. 16:20 GMT. Bittrex. Transfer complete.

nice post
great information @klye
