Poloniex finally post a statement with regards to the Steem issues. No solution found, best to go elsewhere.

in steem •  8 years ago 

If you have been trying to use Poloniex for Steem transfers and trading you will know by now that there have been big issues. To make everyone who uses Poloniex even more worried they did not make any announcement about the issues until now.

Logging onto Poloniex the following is stated on the Poloniex trading platform:

"STEEM is currently under maintenance or experiencing wallet/network issues. Deposits and withdraws will remain disabled until a solution is found, which may require an update from the STEEM team. Any updates must be tested and audited before enabling."

There are many alternatives you can use with the below working for me at the moment:

Changelly

BlockTrades

Bittrex 

Hopefully anyone who has deposited there gets their Steem in the end...

strange how every other exchange does not have any issues. fucking polo

Yeah the response was like - Steem has an issue, they need to sort it out, not our problem.

yup, same shit with BTS.

They stopped accepting BTS? Same scenario - no notice?

yup no notice, same "message"

Poloniex gets worse and worse every week... they also screwed their customers by not distributing the lumens from stellar airdrop...

Yeah the Lumens one was brutal. In fairness Stellar have to take some of the blame on that one too.

Good that you're getting the word out. It's sad that some already lost Steem but at least others won't fall victim to the same thing. Good work.

It would have been me too if @ash had not posted about it on Steemit! So have to thank the community here :)

It's sad to see a few of my Steem Dollars go to shit when the exchange is boasting about the prices going up 50%+ lol.. thankfully I decided to power up with my 400+ Steem instead of sending to Poloniex. Always, always send test amounts. You never know!

Exactly! Big lesson to send a small amount first to test it!

Do you prefer I use #coinbase as my wallet? A few #friends of mine were saying to find something else to store my #Bitcoin and #Ethereum in?

Get a hardware wallet not a web wallet where they have your private keys. As always I recommend a Trezor but there are many others.

If you are interested I wrote about buying one here - https://bitcoingamblingreviews.com/we-bought-a-trezor/

Awful man i have 100 steem lost

That is not cool @dim753... I hope they come through in the end.

Yes btc are almost $200 USD in a black hole :(

The only thing that can happen in your situation is to wait (up to a few weeks) for that pending support ticket to be answered. Mine got a response finally after 5 weeks on my last issue, oh and I made notice to it with a second ticket ;p

Yes i know. thanks

Polo is sooo shady. Why in the world would a company making the kind of profit they are have such horrible customer service? Shutting down the troll box was a huge red flag and a flat out lie by them. They are a shit company with bad management that will most likely fail soon, taking everyone down with them.

I think you have said out loud what everyone is thinking! I miss getting hammers thrown at me for shouting sell and buy at random alt coins :(

LOL. very useful statement :))

So ridiculous it is kind of funny :)

Best to use the Alternatives for now~ Lets hope Polo willl fix this soon~

Definitely. Worries me a bit as I always lend bitcoins there (for interest) - I am pulling out of that now...

Well I guess I'm sticking to bittrex then.

Smart move!

Really its disapointing

Sure is
