what happens if you missed the memo while transfer steem?

Yes, I did this mistake that missing the memo entry while just transfer my steem and steem dollars to my account in poloniex .

Initially I thought that it's a same method when you transfer bitcoins from coinbase to poloniex just copy the deposit address and paste from source.

I did the same and steemit didn't allow me to transfer as using memo only and I tried to copy steem dollars it's same error ,

I was really frustrated and did lot spend time to read the FAQ properly and I just copied the deposit address and clicked transfer, both steem and steem dollars sent, I don't know where it went since I missed the memo on both transactions.

It's almost 2 days the transfer initiated, I didn't receive it in poloniex, I thought steemit is much advanced so it can refer our email id to send it properly, but my thought is failed, I lost those funds that I didn't receive back in steemit or not sent there in poloniex.

Lesson Learned

When you send your steem dollars or steem coins please make sure that you added the memo address properly.

Hope the steemit should restrict while someone sending funds outside without memo.
