Hope you get your coin back @ladycryptic. They have always come through with me been using them since they opened. Don't stress too much they will reply to you. They have done this to me too, take ages to respond. I use Bittrex for the most part now.

exactly! is it me or are all these people having "issues" with poloniex just a bunch of money hungry kids who thought they could instantly send bitcoin to poloniex an instantly make a trade , without accounting for transaction time, and so they wanted to buy ethereum, at some specific price, and they blame poloniex when it takes 40 minutes to confirm a bitcoin transaction when they didnt even use a high fee, or if they did they blame poloniex for a bitcoin network problem!

If poloniex really screwed over enough people, noone would usethem!

people make money off youtube making videos about popular successful brands, trying to take them down to make a name for themselves!

why is it that everyone who has been in this world for a while seems to never have any huge problems with poloniex? seems like everyone who has poloniex problems uually all stems from people use low miner fees, and complaining about it taking a long time

OR poloniex going down or a few minutes or being laggy...as if they could have their website up 100 percent of the time? They are gonna have some downtime!
And honestly the customer support issue....why would they wanna waste time arguing with all these whiny needy complaining millennials lol

i know my comment isnt gonan be popular but im just speaking my mind!

use bittrex i guess if u want to be doing a bunch of small trades

just buy and hold, u wont encounter any problems!

some of these altcoins have bad wallets and bad codes and just are shit and shouldnt be used like bitcoin!
i would stick to litecoin ethereum steem for big transactions or fast transaction!

but then again what do i know? seriously just use bittrex , i feel like people have a love hate relationship with poloniex! U can do stuff on poloniex, that yeah u can do on bittrexx but its so much cleaner and faster on poloniex! maybe thats nottrue, maybe theire evenly matched and have about the same prices, also i guess u can trade so many more coins on bittrexx than poloniex has, and tahts a huge plus for bittrexx, if ur gonna trade some altcoims why not trade them all?

Its scarey when you dont know of a placeto exchange altcins or bitcoins! Now i see bitcoins dont need to be exchanged even for fiat! That bitcoin visa debit cards or the Monaco card will change everything ( i saw the monaco ad on youtube!) i pity people who feel the needto "cash out" of bitcoin wen they make a profit! They really dont get it and they believe it is a pyramid scheme that they were smart enough to "get out of" theyre so stupid its so sad, its NOT how this works! Bitcoins will ALWAYS be valuable to SOMEONE, i swear to god , NOONE is going to just give a bitcoin away for under $2000 now! and you honestly think anyone is going to let a bitcoin go for under $10,000 next year???? its about to hit exponential growth and anyone with even a 10 GH mining contract is gonna be getting a basic income allowance! (so i hope you all have lifetime mining contracts!)

You could exchange it to "USD tether" in the meantime, if you fear that the bitcoin will drop further.

Sadly i am having an extremely hard time with Poloniex. i used them for long time and I am unable to trade now because of this support issue. Ticket #137091 was submitted 23 days ago with a reply 17 days ago. It is still "being processed" by Tristan. There 50,000 tickets more since then.

Once my ticket is resolved, I'm going back to Bittrex.

Poloniex is still being "attacked" on a daily basis and the mods are useless for help with their factory answers of " wait a little longer. " I had enough.

I'm new to the whole crypto markets and stuff, but from some research looking for a nice trading platform, I've been seeing people as of recent due to the latest surge of popularity of crypto currency, that a lot of these websites don't seem well prepared to handle the influx of all these new customers.

I've seen many complaints about customer service, poor quality of the websites due to large amounts of users, and longer than normal wait time to receive their coins. I myself had to wait a whole extra day to get some litecoin at coinbase, plus they were having issues accepting my credit and debit card because of some cvn issue, so I had no choice but to use the bank option.

its all relative man! consumers are whiney babies! you try doing 200 MILLIOn dolars in bitcooinnd altcoin trading everyday! u try doing 300 trades a second! as louie CK said about people who complain that their cellphones dont work on the plane, its like, Why dont YOU go try making a cell phone network!! go slimb up some trees with some hub caps and YOU try! aha and when your flying, your in the sky! it a MIRACLE! and when your phone does work ITS a miracle! the signal has to GO TO SPACE and back just so you cantalk to your stupid friiend an complain about shit! LOL (not directing this at you @variously lol u know, im just making a point, the one loui CK did ) how were all taking this shit for granted!

dude pooniex oes a FANTACTIS job! they keep 99 percent of all customers very happy and WEALTHy could YOu offer a trading platform ike this lol

and for peopel who dot like poloniex go to bittrexxan ggo deal with that sloppy mess! we can all agree bittrexx hurts your eyes and your brain1 and maybe poloniex is right to only have SO many altcois, bittrex has so many altcoins u cant posibly buy them all unless you have like several hundred dollars to put at least a few bucks into each one of the many hundreds offeered lol, i guess its best tp have them all i love bittrex for that, i cango and get EXOTIC coins
I have some in poloiex and some inbittrex! and then of course steemit is also like 30 percent of my entir eportfolio right now ...i like having multiple exchanges goin, i wanna open a kraken account so i can also have a nice fiat trading bacup, and i need to use the Gdax coinbase exchange which allows coinbase customers to NOT be ripped off......god at least poloniex isnt GDAX!

and when u only trade altcoins for bitcoins and no fiat involved it keeps the IRS away!

just never sell your bitcoins or altcooins just by and hold, if u have to trade u can ju st trade using shapeshift or prism or UVO a decentrallized portfoolio!

I appreciate ur reply!

So far i been messing around with bittrex and I havent had any issues wth their service yet, but its been lady cryptics and others that Ive seen that worried me about poloniex, but dont get me wrong the things also seen about poloniex is very enticing, and was one of the places I wanted to start out at first, but like i said lil too many issues I kept hearing about did detour me for now and its mainly based on this what i would say, the latest surge in the popularity of crypto currency and some sites having issues dealing with some many piling on. I will definitely keep in mind no fiat involved and no irs! Thanks man. :)

ya just use exodus to keep all ur own coins on ur own computer! keep ur keys and use shapeshift or prism when it comes out! once there is some mppre coins offered on exodus, everyone will switch from poloniex and even bittrex!

eventually we will also see exchanges liek poloniex and bittrex lasting years and years holding coins of dead people even!! somone has to be ableto keep peoples private eys safe evetually if we all have enough time...i mean there are peopel who have chase bank accounts tthat are the same account for over a hunred years!

That is awful! They need to be held responsible by someone. I hope you get your money back. If it is worth it make a legal issue.

Thank you for sharing the video. I haven't used them, but was planning on it possibly. I think its a good idea to test all of these crypto platforms.

Best regards

sometimes its not poloniex fault! The blockchain sometimes SUCKS and bitcoin transactions TAKE TIME

ppoloniex isnt holding anyones coins hostage

all these people are simply newbs who dont understand what theyre doing.....sorry but i have to call it as i see it! u are smart enough to see how these peopel are all young kids and this is their first time in crypto and they tthought they could just send btc to poloniex and flip a couple ethereum etc and look they had no idea they might have too wait for a bitcoin transactionLOL and they compalin cuz they claim they "lost out" on a trade they were never abke to make, if u arent in a position to trade u cant tarde lol, whatevr

Oh, I never considered that she might have made the mistake. I thought from her correspondence with Poloniex on the video that they received the transaction, but did not record it correctly, because New Yorkers are banned from holding Poloniex accounts.

I agree with you, if she made the mistake, then she cannot fault them. Life is full of lessons to learn, some harder than others.

She calls herself "LadyCryptic" so I thought she was an expert. :)

look poloniex cant make many mistakes i mean how come it only happens to her and noone else? lol and the bitcoin network is not poloniex...people blame their exchange for the bitcoin network being down or charging alot for minerfees ...just use exodus to keep all ur coins on your OWN computer and have all your own keys! theres no excuse!

even ViaBTC just came out with brand new Exchange! and they are the great Minerpool that offers a Transaction Accelerator where if your transaction is taking to long u can pay a small fee and get your transcation puhed through to the head of the line intheir own Mining computers! see we need our own bitcoin mining poo for steemit! https://news.bitcoin.com/viabtc-new-cryptocurrency-trading-platform/

I agree with you. I just heard about Exodus a few days ago, and plan on utilizing them for other crypto markets. I definitely don't want to allow others to keep my private keys!

Thank you for the link for ViaBTC. I will check them out. Appreciate it!
