Beware of Poloniex,

They use bots to pump and dump coins and ponzi schemes,  at the moment the exchange is pumping DASH which is a ponzi scheme,  they create these big pumps, attract investors who short them, them keep them stuck for weeks.  If you dont know Poloniex is designed to suck in investors, use bots to create fake volume.

Dash will be in the 1 billion market cap soon

everyone knows this. they're not gonna care while they can get a little piece of the ponzi scheme themselves.

i disagree with DASH being a ponzi scheme, there are lots of things wrong with that coin but being a ponzi scheme is not one of them. and yes DASH is not pumped big time and it will dump.

also poloniex is known to be the place for pump and dumps and they do it themselves too. everyone wants a piece of the action afterall! and when they do they use bots,...
but i disagree with what you said about "stucking traders"
they may finally pull a MtGox on us and run away though.

How can you say that dash is a scam or Ponzi scheme . Here every altcoins has own importantce in the altcoin market and also in bitcoin market .
So here you can't say it is scam . You need to give proof for the scam of Poloniex . I am using Poloniex exchange from 9 months but didn't get any problem of scam or any mistake with there bot .
You just need to think in better way and edit the post and say It was my fault , Poloniex is better and trusted exchange
And finally lock you post :/

as long as the traders can make good profit, i think they don't care with this and they still continue to do trading in poloniex. but in reality, we know that poloniex still a big market exchange which have big volume in many coins and i think its still a good market exchange that allow us to make big profit too.

Every exchange is scam by oneway or another , they allow you to deposit unlimited Bitcoin (for non-verified account with ID)
and when its come to withdrawal they limited it to 2btc per day and giving lame excuse of KYC rules.
KYC policy should be applied on both deposit and withdrawal.  

About the usage of bots to pump and dump, doesn't a lot of other exchanger also use bots? I don't know for sure as I only use and loyal to limited amount of exchanger, but I don't think it is a good indicator that an exchanger is scam and should not be trusted merely by the existence of pump bots. Pumping is needed to support some coins and bring back some trends into it.

Not yet. Until they block withdrawals because they run out of nonexistent money they not a scam, just an automatic bot trade friendly zero-fee exchange.

Yeah and if you look at the scam sections,you'll see a lot of accusations on this exchanges,each one of them has one and they are not small amount but huge one,that's why it's not a good idea to put huge amount of bitcoin in any exchange,

To make life easier for everybody can we not just agree that all the things in life including life itself will inevitably be proclaimed a Scam at some point and move on?

"insert thing here" is a Scam because... well just because.

Ggrr F%£$&g People...

You are right, most of Monero trading volume and markets are on Poloniex

https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/  (https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/)

Poloniex isn't pumping anything, the users of poloniex are doing what they always do ie run like crazy bulls at any coin they think is rising and so it rises. I expect a big crash and it can turn in seconds on Poloniex.

wrong link buddy. you only showed that Poloniex is biggest crypt exchange in existence and that ETH is most traded there.


This is right link https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dash/#markets  Most DASH volume is made on Poloniex. Seems DASH is totally centralized.  Not only coins ( so owners) and masternodes ( so decisions what to do and develop), also exchange.

I think holding money on a website is a stupid idea. Especially if it's a trading website that's exposed to hacks, or you can be the one exposed to a scam.

It can be even the best known trading website and it's still not a good idea. The best place to hold your money is in your pocket. When you want to trade it, deposit, trade and withdraw at the end of the session. There have always been known hacks and thefts and criminals aren't always found. Bitfinex is a good example - you don't even know if it was the team that took the money away or a real hack. If it happens, it happens because people are holding their money there as if it was their wallet, not someone's website.

that's the reality, if you are trading inside polo you should have big nerve to accept the loses because you are really risking your money its up to you how to overcome and profits from this business, its not controlled by the exchange but the people behind the movements of certain project,.

I mean, do you actually understand what a Ponzi scheme is?

"a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a non-existent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors."

The earlier investors in Dash and other altcoins, even the scam ones, are not given payouts, they still trade them as is the point of Poloniex.  Therefore none of them are Ponzi scheme nor scams in the sense that you describe them.

Regardless, Poloniex does not use bots, it's only Poloniex users that sometimes use bots to enhance their trading, as they sometimes do on other exchanges as well.  This is nothing new.

how investors are gonna lose this game if they just short after they bought at cheaper rate thanks tot he pump? isn't poloniex risky too much here instead? i can't see how this is work good for them there must be something else under it. You want to pump ok fair enough i'll dump on your pump at the first opportunity, investors aren't that stupid

How would you even know for sure that Poloniex itself is using bots to 'pump and dump' coins?
Couldn't anyone use a bot to do this? It doesn't have to be Poloniex itself, right?

Just reads like FUD to me.

Off course this is true. We all want to gain profit so far it good one and personally dont care if this come to be ponzi we all will gain profit even Poloniex on every transaction they dont care what coin it is it like us we want to make more coin or cash and they want to. So they will allow anything that is good for both sides.

I had a significantly large quantity of bitcoin on deposit at Poloniex and they handled my account very professionally. I was extremely happy with their service and their exchange software works great. I have not seen any evidence that they are a "scam exchange." Quite the opposite, they look incredibly solid.

By these criteria, any exchange can be called that.

Yes, exactly. This thread is just speculation. Poloniex is based in the U.S. and needs to pay the IRS taxes. The money that they owe from their .25% trading fee would make creating "fake volume" very costly for them, so really the entire notion doesn't make sense. They could be actively trading I guess, but that is a different thing.

Source: http://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/

Nearly 300 million in daily trade volume, their high rollers pay less in fees but Bots are market takers so a conservative estimate would be them getting .14% average of fees. That would be $420,000 a day in earnings. Now if most of that was "fake," they would be on the hook for a shit ton of tax dollars at the end of the year. A tax bill on earnings of 154 million dollars, no matter how many right offs, would be prohibitive if they were not actually earning that money.

Three years ago, Poloniex had some Bitcoin stolen. I lost some Bitcoin.
Busoni, the owner of Poloniex, paid it all back.

I was somehow under the impression that large market makers or players pay no fees at Poloniex at all.
Does anyone know

Bots are executing sells and buys (mostly) so makers fees apply. I am of course just picking the middle-ish number here. Even if their mean average was .10 it would still be relevant.

Same here. While idiot exchanges ran off with 50 BTC when hacked. Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees. Poloniex was smart and Busoni had integrity. Not sure how involved he is with the day to day anymore. He must be so rich now that I doubt he is heavily involved anymore. Anyhow, they still get the benefit of a doubt in my book.

It pretty easy not to get scammed once u know hwat to look out for .Only invest in coins u believe in and only buy at the bottom of the roller roster .Coins are dump and dumped by whales but good  coins generally go up in value long term .Just do not get sucked into the hype and  be a a bag holder

Sounds like a bit exaggerated.
Honestly, why do you think exchanges run 24 hours? all of them have bots.

There's no way to prevent someone from depositing once they have a deposit address.

I believe  I witnessed a SCAM on POLONIEX today. I am a ETH/PASC miner. And my PASC is auto deposited to POLONIEX. All days my deposits have been shown up. Each day 40 PASC approx.

Now TODAY PASC goes up about 80 freaking %. And guess what, my mined PASC are not showing up in my Deposits. PASC is about 0.8% Volume of POLONIEX.  I message them and they say maintenance or something. Later all PASC deposits and withdrawals are stopped. PASC price goes down to only +30% from +80%....

Ofcourse in a couple of days when PASC will be waaaay down in price, they will buy those coins back and give them back. But still how can you trade with other peoples money that boldly, and how can people not see this, is beyond me !If I was a US citizen I would have called the FBI a long time ago. They will go the way of MtGox when they'll think it's worth it.  Todays PASC Volume was at 1,400,000 US$ at Poloniex. Now think of how much money they made...

They traded with my mined Coins. And I thought you should know too. They do it similarly like MtGox that got ""HACKED"",but on a smaller scale with smaller coins.

Be carefull people. And do not concentrate on POLONIEX ! Especially on days when a big crash happens like today. You might lose everything the next time.

the first youre reason i think youre lost in trading
all exchanger all coin dump and pump common thing, not is big problem, only dump and pump you write ponzi scheme
DASH not ponzi coin, DASH is good coin, good user community, good volume transaction and old coin

It seems that some transactions on Poloniex failed. I lost BTC :'( :'( :'( because no transactions bitcoin tidy right time

The only problem I faced on Poloniex, is the inability to place an order at peak times. In general, I do not have problems.

TUXexchange, being legally incorporated in Canada, does not require identification of any kind nor does it limit your deposits or withdrawals in any way..
Because of Canadian law, dealing with cryptocurrency only and no fiat, they do not deal with "money", so no ID no limits, no exceptions, 100% legal..
They also let you register and trade from TOR to stay completely anonymous if you want to..

I read the their "terms of services" today, and, although I have an account, I am leaning towards not doing any business with them. Basically, they can take your account from you anytime they feel like it at their discretions, freeze your funds, etc... I have read other user terms, and none were anything "so against the user" like Poloniex.  I agree with the OP. stay away if you can.

They even Trade with your coins and then block you from withdrawing them.Deposits do not show up when I needed it.
Happened to me with my PASC coins. They made a huge profit with my coins, now I can't access them.

That's Poloniex for you.

Ofcourse because it's just a little Altcoin with only 0.8% Volume of the exchange noone will say anything.
This is MtGox style fraud and it should be called out.

That's quite a sensational claim. Do you have even a shred of evidence to support this?

OP is a retard !

Be creative... This is what happened: Yesterday PASC has risen 80%, my mined coins don't show up at the exchange. Even though they showed up all the time till this day. Right NOW you can't deposit or withdraw your PASC! Today is the second day.
Well why is PASC disabled right now on the largest exchange ?  Do you think they are that incompetent ? They want to make extra money, so they use insignificant altcoins to make a little extra profit! Pretty f*cking simple.

Now a couple days go by PASC drops, Polo buys back cheaply and gives back to the depositors...

What do you think happened at MtGox  ? Do you think they really got hacked ? Or did they "hack" themselves ? These exchanges are corrupt to the core. Do NOT trust them.

Just look at all those miners still mining to Poloniex! Just the Top15 : https://pasc.nanopool.org/
14 of the Top 15 still mine to Poloniex...
These alone produce worth 1000s of USD of PASC daily and deposits do not work at Poloniex right now.They do not show up! Meaning the PASC is not at the miners disposal. So Polo does as it pleases with those coins,even trading...
Is it to far fetched? You decide.

That's not evidence it's speculation. What else are you hiding under that tinfoil hat?

To each his own, but my gut tells me to stay away, far away. Read the 'terms of service' and you'll see what I am talking about.

And please don't respond that you read it, and that it is a standard 'terms of service', because if not.

14 of the top 15 Miners at Nanopool have been mining to Poloniex. That's a fact.
PASC deposits and withdrawals had been deactivated since the last peak trading hours for about two days, also a fact.
PASC goes down in value and now we can access them again(partly at least).Coincidence? I don't think so. I got only 1/3 of my coins showing up right now.
Waiting days for a deposit to show up on the biggest exchange is not normal.Especially when the profits are best in a couple of weeks.I do not have problems with it on Cryptopia for instance and it is a way smaller exchange.
It is easy for them to say they have "difficulties" or "maintenance" going on. If you believe that you are just naive.
FRAUD plain and simple !

I have been using poloniex for more than 1 year now, till now I didn't face any problem with this exchange.I have many bitcoins in poloniex exchange where I am trading happily without the problem and when it comes to withdrawal and deposit they will pay on time without any delay, only if they have any issues with their software.

I am also very pleased with this exchange, there are simply situations where you can see that the servers are clearly overloaded.

For traders this is not something new or that they haven't before, it's a known thing and don't know if you have seen there is a thread here where a good bot is being sold for a long time, that's the C.A.T and saying the truth it covers many popular exchanges including the poloniex too. Trading can be very dangerous especially for the newbie ones as there are lots of bots in poloniex especially and it's good to catch the 0.15% instead of 0.25% because there are lots of orders within 1 second.

I am happy with Poloniex exchanges the way they treat their members, their support system is highly professional and they solve the issues in the specific time limit. Overall, when compared to other exchanges more reputable coins will be listed in Poloniex.

One thing id say about poloniex is: their customer support is ridiculously slow, and that doesnt fill me with confidence at all.

For the largest exchange in the world, their KYC verification takes forever..and in that time they could be doing anything with my coins

I have a few other investors who also have very low withdrawal limits. Theyre unable to take their money out that easily and its taking forever to get verified

So, that shouldnt fill someone with confidence at all...poloniex needs much better customer support, quicker KYC verification times and better transparency of who they are, who is in their team, where their offices are etc...right now we dont know enough about poloniex and its the biggest weakness in the whole crypto world

Yes. in 7/5/2017. When STR (Stellar lumen) up to 4900sts/1 STR. Polo continue erro, down sever in 3 minutes. No one can login and trade. After 3 minutes, when all trader login, STR down = 2000sts/1 STR. Why?
A lot of people went bankrupt, special is Margin trader. Poloniex said: all altcoin safe, but all trader is loser. You can check chart trade of polo in 22h 7/5/2017 (GMT: UTC). It is 1 vertical line. There is no apology from poloiex. They are silent when trader lose money because their fault.
Poloniex is scamer, they are trap.

How's this for strange.

I somehow have an open margin long position in XRP @ .00021461? The price never came near that, nor spiked to that price point, yet here I am with this open position I did not order, that is obviously at a huge loss because the price only ever made it around .00014.

So tell me: How exactly would an open position fulfill at a price that never even spiked to that price point? I'm sitting looking at a loss and lending fees that just keep adding up for an order I didn't make, and obviously would never make, why the hell would I buy something that's 1.5x the recent ATH? I wouldn't, but yet here I am slowly losing money over it, if I close it out Ill lose hundreds of dollars. I contacted support, but wont cross my fingers that they respond.

Polo is turning into Cryptsy.

Patterson Law Firm in FL has been put on retainer and are investigating claims against Poloniex for fraud. You can contact Alexander Passo @ apasso@pattersonlawfirm.com if you've been dealing with any issues. Poloniex's terms of service are not enforceable in court, regardless of how much they want you to think they are.

The real scam is when the exchange crashes, yet there is clearly activity in the background (via cryptowat.ch or other API plugs)  Yet you can't trade on their GUI.

This happened with XMR and most recently with STR.  I'm done with them.  My coins are off their site.  They'll Gox soon.

today is 9/5/2017. Poloniex continue scam verision 2. All coin down, XRP 12.300 ---> 7.700, BTS 3.379 ----> 2.200, STR 2.300 ---> 1.600.v.v.and No one can trade. Traders can only look and lose. Reason of Poloniex is DDOS attacked.Again that reason and trader lost money again because Poloniex's fault. We are going bankrupt gradually by Poloniex

It can be! Coins  are pump and dump, it is not hard dump. where do you see the scam?

They do have a lot of error and trouble these past few days, but in my opinion the rate downtrend of XRP and STR (not sure about BTS, didn't watch them) is because it is their time to go down. The price was pumped several percent for a few days and eventually it will go down sooner or later, although probably they're coincidentally happened alongside with the server's breakdown.

And about the rates, to be fair, actually most alts are going down in reflect to btc price going up

i use poloniex since 6 monthi dont think its a scam exchange

If people don't like poloniex, there are other exchanges you can use:

bittrex, kraken, hitbtc, cexio and so on.

It's a good idea to spread your coins and trading around - don't keep everything on one exchange.

Anyone know another exchange with a lot of XMR trade pairs?  Kraken has most of the coins I care about trading but they don't have any direct alt\alt pairs, everything is alt\btc or alt\fiat.

So much noobiness in this thread.

...said the new guy  ::)

They use more than 1 machine as server. If the frontend server is ddosed or crashed the others can be still up.

Poloniex is running a very elaborate complex scam. I don't care who disagrees, and if you do disagree then you most likely have a 39+hour/week job and don't get to sit and watch the website all day and night, if you want. They had "lag" at 5k ppl, at 10k ppl, at 20k at 30k ppl. The same kind of bullshit lag where normal people cannot put orders in, close orders, cancel orders, close margins, transfer balances, get charged lending fees with no orders open, coins held hostage until the 10% move is over with, and many other things that I just am not able to remember atm. They colluded with the DAO Hack to make tons of money from trading fees. I lost 900$ even tho I closed my margin order 900$ in the profit, they let it lag and closed my order where thousands of satoshi away from where I closed it. That was with like 8k users and it lagged all the same it did yesterday with 32k users. It's BS and I honestly believe they will eventually follow the same path as Cryptsy.

You guys must be careful with Poloniex.I've posted 2 tickets for supporting in BTC withdrawal because my BTC was hold by Poloniex.There was 1 support guy received ticket and he kept silent for almost nearly 4 days.
After that,my friend told me that should post more questions in troll box for admin and mod.Amazingly,they solved my case right after i posted annoucements.What the hell is that ? What did they do with my money in last 4 days ?
You can easily search in this forum,many cases like me in the past.Never trade on Poloniex again.PLEASE BE CAREFUL

If you can'r prove it, just STFU. You are speculating. Guess what I run 8 bots myself, on Polo, Bittrex, Bitfinex and OKCoin.

What's your point? You have NONE. Dumb, dumb and dumber you are a troll.

Perhaps the fact that the deposits are facing an issue is the main driver of the price rise?

poloniex is crap and very dangerous now to go there.
I will not say yet that they scam people but is getting close to it.

I also doubt on ddos attacks and server issues, i think more that they cant handle the amount of payouts because of the huge pumps of several coins
last few weeks so they find ways to keep on running.

Delay in withdrawal up to 24h, support will reply after 96h if you are lucky, if a pump is coming trades will be frozen and starting today they
send out fake txid. they say it is paid and also it showes in your account but the txid is not visible in the blockchain.

mods in the trollbox then advise you to open a ticket what will give them another extra 4 days, very tricky.

one fake txid: e1b3e162d280da5387a59bf8739c2a39f82ca9d57c1f83719e639f2bb6d1cc12
many more can be found in the trollbox on the website.

STAY AWAY THERE FOR NOW!!

Same story here polo seems more and more like a scam

BTC withdrawels are showing complete with fake TXID

3d68f87cf3dace905b3684ef18de450dcbfab8b094eccd91a2906415366e0f76

mods have standard sentences make a support ticket

support tickets are not answered already have another ticket unanswered over 5 days

polo btc wallet empty?

true, creating support ticket will give them time. i can understand tht they have issues but they should say the truth and not sending fake txid.
if ever i get my btc back i will not use poloniex anymore.

Correct.  It is essentially an elaborate bucket shop.  When you trade and win at a bucket shop you are not taking money from other traders but from the shop itself.  Just like in Vegas, if you win consistently they will shut down on you.  I believe they are involved in the trades themselves, that they are freezing coins that show them a loss and then letting bots walk them down.  They will be gone before the end of the year IMHO.  Everything I'm seeing right now at Poloniex I saw at Cryptsy.  Mark my words.  Jesse saw this over 100 years ago:

"As it was, it didn't take long for the bucket shops to get
sore  on  me  for  beating  them.  I'd  walk  in  and  plank  down  my 
margin, but they'd look at it without making a move to grab it.
They'd tell me there was nothing doing. That was the time they
got to calling me the Boy Plunger. I had to be changing brokers
all the time, going from one bucket shop to another. It got so
that  I  had  to  give  a  fictitious  name.  I'd  begin  light,  only 
fifteen  or  twenty  shares.  At  times,  when  they  got  suspicious, 
I'd  lose  on  purpose  at  first  and  then  sting  them  proper.  Of 
course  after  a  little  while  they'd  find  me  too  expensive  and 
they'd tell me to take myself and my business elsewhere and not
interfere with the owners' dividends.
   Once, when the big concern I'd been trading with for months
shut down on me I made up my mind to take a little more of their
money away from them. That bucket shop had branches all over the
city,  in  hotel  lobbies,  and  in  nearby  towns.  I  went  to  one  of 
the  hotel  branches  and  asked  the  manager  a  few  questions  and 
finally got to trading. But as soon as I played an active stock
my  especial  way  he  began  to  get  messages  from  the  head  office 
asking who it was that was operating. The manager told me what
they  asked  him  and  I  told  him  my  name  was  Edward  Robinson,  of 
Cambridge. He telephoned the glad news to the big chief. But the
other  end  wanted  to  know  what  I  looked  like.  When  the  manager 
told me that I said to him, "Tell him I am a short fat man with
dark hair and a bushy beard 1" But he described me instead, and
then he listened and his face got red and he hung up and told me
to beat it.
   "What did they say to you?" I asked him politely.
   "They said, `You blankety-blank fool, didn't we tell you to
take no business from Larry Livermore? And you deliberately let
him trim us out of $700!" He didn't say what else they told him.
   I tried the other branches one after another, but they all
got  to  know  me,  and  my  money  wasn't  any  good  in  any  of  their 
offices. I couldn't even go in to look at the quotations without
some of the clerks making cracks at me. I tried to get   
them  to  let  me  trade  at  long  intervals  by  dividing  my  visits 
among them all. But that didn't work."

"Everybody in the room heard me and began to look toward us
and  ask  what  was  the  trouble,  for,  you  see,  while  the 
Cosmopolitan  had  never  laid  down,  there  was  no  telling,  and  a 
run  on  a  bucket  shop  can  start  like  a  run  on  a  bank.  If  one 
customer  gets  suspicious  the  others  follow  suit.  So  Tom  looked 
sulky, but came over and marked my tickets "Closed at 103" and
shoved  the  seven  of  them  over  toward  me.  He  sure  had  a  sour 
face.
    Say,  the  distance  from  Tom's  place  to  the  cashier's  cage 
wasn't over eight feet. But I hadn't got to the cashier to get
my money when Dave Wyman by the ticker yelled excitedly
"Gosh! Sugar, 108!" But it was too late; so I just laughed and
called over to Tom, "It didn't work that time, did it, old boy?"
    Of  course,  it  was  a  put-up  job.  Henry  Williams  and  I  to-
gether were short six thousand shares of Sugar. That bucket shop
had  my  margin  and  Henry's,  and  there  may  have  been  a  lot  of 
other Sugar shorts in the office; possibly eight or ten thousand
shares in all. Suppose they had $20,000 in Sugar margins. That
was enough to pay the shop to thimblerig the market on the New
York Stock Exchange and wipe us out. In the old days whenever a
bucket shop found itself loaded with too many bulls on a certain
stock it was a common practice to get some broker to wash down
the  price  of  that  particular  stock  far  enough  to  wipe  out  all 
the customers that were long of it. This seldom cost the bucket
shop more than a couple of points on a few hundred shares, and
they made thousands of dollars.
    That  was  what  the  Cosmopolitan  did  to  get  me  and  Henry 
Williams and the other Sugar shorts. Their brokers in New York
ran up the price. Of course it fell right back, but Henry
and  a  lot  of  others  were  wiped  out.  Whenever  there  was  an 
unexplained  sharp  drop  which  was  followed  by  instant  recovery, 
the  newspapers  in  those  days  used  to  call  it  a  bucket-shop 
drive."

REMINISCENCES OF A STOCK OPERATOR

http://www.nowandfutures.com/large/Reminiscences_of_a_Stock_Operator_Jesse_Livermore.pdf

The number of users online at a given time on Polo used to be about 20,000 a month ago. A week ago they jumped to about 30,000 and their engine started to lag.

Today it jumped to 40,000, and guess what, their engine is lagging again.

People - there are other exchanges you can trade on. Ripple can be traded on both bitstamp and kraken. Kraken does ether and stellar lumens as well. Bittrex and Hitbtc do most of the other alts.

Don't log into Polo if there are more than 30,000 people online - you'll only be frustrated as all your orders and withdrawals go wrong.

I really really don't understand people KNOWING that Polo is under pressure with traffic and volume, but piling in anyway, making things worse, and then complaining.

Be aware that orders that do not appear to take hold are executed within a couple of minutes.
I refreshed my browser and the order did not appear on the screen and then all of sudden it was executed.
Good luck and be careful.

The hack occurred during last ddos attack.

Well, what I do find curious are these sudden 'deposit and withdrawal issues' that occur to every high volume coin frequently.
I wouldn't be suprised when they actually do that on purpose so that they can buy in cheap, then allow deposits and withdrawals again to enjoy a good profit.

Doubt it, because bots wouldn't help much at this point anyways. They're already so big in the exchange world.

POLONIEX scammed me. Froze my account, didn't reply within 8 days.

Others say the same:
http://www.bestbitcoinexchange.net/en/poloniex-com/

I can't withdrawal for weeks, they are not giving my money back. I made withdrawal several times before but now i can't.

Now, they closed the ChatBox because everyone started to write there "you are scam give my money". SUPPORT NEVER WORKS

I think they turned to SCAM.

Im wondering on what happen to the poloniex they supposed to be the one of the best exchange existing here but turns out that they acted as shit today If this thing will continue to occur well this one will be bad since a reputable exchanger has turn bad and it could be happen on another exchange so maybe its a wake up call that we shouldn't put some huge balance on their.

Withdrawed ETH. And GUESS WHAT! FAKE TXID SHOWED UP! Poloniex we are going for you!

TXID:

Posting here helps LOL :D they pushed it

What is really happening on poloniex? Too bad for them because surely it will affect their site. Im using poloniex for a couple months but i will immediately withdraw my funds there

Withdrawals are not working.
Coins are disappearing.
I withdrew my MAID coins and it shows as "Complete: Error" in withdraw history.
The transaction never showed in blockchain. But the coins dissappeared on Polo.
https://i.imgur.com/B13GsiT.png
The day before same withdrawal was working fine.
They are going down, now they disabled TrollBox.
It is Cryptsy all over again.
1) Non-working withdrawals
2) disabled chatbox
3) stealing of our coins

Take what you can and run away.

EDIT: btw they dont respond to support tickets (i have open ticket for another issue for 16 days now)
EDIT2: well Polo responded to and fixed my ticket few hours after i posted here. So being vocal surely helps.
My Coins finally went through. Their support is still tragical but at least i know that it exists now.

A lot of people are reporting problems but its working for most of us as far as I know. Perhaps send them a support ticket, they will probably take ages to reply but I don't think they will outright steal your coins despite how shady they run their business.

Why would they risk that? They're already the biggest single exchange for BTC and alts. I figure their volume is real.

I also see many people who seem to escape from this poloniex site somehow I also do not know it yet  ???

This seems to be a widespread problem currently and there isn't a whole lot you can do other than just keep spamming their support with requests. They even removed the toolbox so you can't even complain there anymore. They said that they would make the moderators trained to become support agents, but this seems to be false and there is no increase in the amount of answered tickets.

Go to suepoloniex.today to fill out the form and hopefully get compensated for all this. This applies to everyone else that thinks they've been treated unfairly by polo as well.

Out of curiosity how long did it take?? Same issue and no response from the Support Center at all..

I got banhammered with a .gif by one of their moderators. I was pretty drunk that evening..

And the dgb went down.

PS: Aaaargh. Now the ether is crashing on me.


Cheers :-)

Poloniex "was" a good exchange. After the ethereum boom last month, i sent 7 eth to another to my brothers poloniex account. 25 days passed, it is still waiting for approval, my verficiation is pending and i have 4 support tickets waiting in "processing" status. No one answers the support emails. Poloniex "was" a good exchange. If you want to loose money, work with poloniex.

my ticket numbers are 217676, 190274 , 183498 , 178742

Being Processed since 18 days 17 hours

You need not be surprised, because those who say so there are several problems that may make them not feel reassured. Because poloniex is the largest and most trusted exchange a lot of people, so they use the double regulation that causes that someone who has a problem and could not confirm with valid possibility could experience it. It is likely that the account he hacked by someone where in it there is a digital currency. Just be quiet and do something more useful, and also benefit the
 

Sent a substantial amount of Ether to deposit on poloniex (20 Eth), it has been 6 hours already and the deposit is not even appearing as pending. Checked the addresses - everything is correct. Created a support ticket but seems I will have to wait a lot until it is resolved.
Really worry about my money now, that is a significant amount for me :(

The TX is 0x431e5457cce96652567be254fe221765f082f7b1829d0b19ae0afdf50dbf8aad

Its been 3 weeks that my withdrawal order is Awaiting Approval. Its just 0.34 BTC, GIVE MY COINS BACK POLONIEX ! >:(

They've been spamming me 6 times a day from a no-reply email address:


So I click the "freeze account" button, and they claim my account is frozen, that I have to contact support.

How do you contact support? BY LOGGING IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT. *facepalm*
There's no other way, period. And the irony?

I still get spammed 6 times a day. So their "freeze account" button is either a lie, broken, or they really are scammers.

Either way, I wouldn't trust them with a penny.

And by the way, I never had an account there. So they bought my email from some other spammers.

I don't really understand it. You don't have an account there, and they are spamming you with that your account is frozen? Wtf? If you don't have an account there, it's probably a scam, but not by poloniex. Several pools and shit were hacked in the past, so your address can be out there for a while.

I can hardly get to some conclusion from this topic.
Is this good exchange or bad exchange?
Is it safe to trade there?

Well, as you can see there are problems ATM, we don't really know what is going on, because they don't communicate with us. I would recommend you to use another exchange like Bittrex for example for now, and we will see what will happen in the future.

 There are too many complaints recently about polo. I think it's time for me to leave this exchange. My account was frozen because I logged in with a vpn, I emailed support and they demanded for email key, I forwarded them the key but it's been days now with no solution, and I am losing funds with the current price drop.

I got a email message from do-not-reply@poloniex.com which told that a reset request for my password have been made and after that a message which tells that the password is changed 9 days ago while I haven't touched the password for a month. Also the password I'm using works well.

I am asking because i never experienced any problem with them and i see recently many complains against them but to be honest most of them came from new accounts here and i can hardly believe their words, i would like to see some evidence as well.
(older member are saying they don't have problems)
Sorry, but all this looks like FUD to me!

Well something has to be with polo:


Seems like they have resource problems at least.

Level poloniex is not possible to do such thing is the longest surviving market site and many old coins there
For ponzi itself mostly on the new sites and the level of security is still lacking
Many hackers try to poloniex but always fail

Mail from: mail2.poloniex.com so yes, it's them. And yes, it's spam.
I searched my emails from top to bottom and have never registered there. They probably bought my email from a dead exchange.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1614405.msg19600170#msg19600170

I have withdrawals awaiting approval from over 72 hours ago. No response from support team. Will go out of my way to not use polo in the future - this is very annoying. They've got about 5 BTC worth of coins that I can't seem to move

I don't understand.
How the hell do the generate a fake txid for a withdrawal that never happened?

Proof: https://i.imgur.com/bpuwVRx.png


Etherscan: https://etherscan.io/address/0x69cAcE9044dDF4b09b7E043164479cCE747B057b#tokentxns


252 GNT missing and they say complete and give you a fake txid.

They turned to SCAM, it was a good exchange site before but now they are not giving the coins back.

Awaiting Approval - more than 5 days.

I'll write here, when Polonex pay me my ETH back.

Finally i took my coins back.

After about 3 weeks, withdrawal is complete. But its too late, i lost money because of parity

Poloniex is indeed Scam, no Support, no response to Tickets, nothing.
They go in complete hiding if there is any problem.

COMPLAIN ABOUT POLONIEX HERE: This will put the end to their sometimes questionable practices.
BBB website: https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started
If that does not help and IF there is actual fraud being committed...complain here: http://attorneygeneral.delaware.gov/fraud/

It could also be a good idea to report Poloniex to the Federal Trade Commission
  
https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/media/video-0054-how-file-complaint (https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/media/video-0054-how-file-complaint)

YES very good idea... we must make all of these companies to treat us fairy... now too many of them just rip us off and do not care about customer service etc.
BBB and other government offices will be helpful in most western countries... China, Hong Kong, India, Russia and in some other countries there is no use to complain.

So let's do this will all the companies we have problems with, not only Polo... most other companies are just as bad...

Doing it now.
I want my Golem back.

Everyone else do it too.
There is actually an category for complain for fraud using bitcoin.

Hopefully they bring down polo for this nonsense.
Been over a week and nothing has been done.

seems there are multiple threads, multiple users with multiple currencies facing withdrawal issues on Poloniex.

perhaps they have been flooded with a surge of new users/traders in the past 2-3 weeks and are unable to cope with the traffic?

let us know what happens

Same here. I got this txid: 0xd86dd696703f9ad0c599b86dffad343c0e70a75eda69acf03b73ea959738f862 for ether that never showed up in the blockchain.
Also I have 4 tickets open 3 of them over a month.
Ofcourse it was the day the ether network crashed... lets wait and see...

You guys are scaring me, and I feel unconformable, I need to withdraw some of my balance in poloniex and I'm not sure in what coin should I withdraw, which coin does not need the "approval" and is almost instant or fast? Withdrawing in bitcoins can be instant or not?

In Polo there is either 2K or 25 k daily withdraw limit. So if you have a lot of money there, it will take a long time to get them out.

ALso Polo is trading platform.. not wallet. Wallets are much more secure for hackers etc..
so you want to keep all of your long term investments in wallets.. and keep only your trading capital in Polo.

What´s wrong with Poloniex ?
Now they disabled all withdrawals for Ethereum.
It´s time to transfer all your coins to your own Wallets or to other Exchanges before they close there whole business.
I bet a real big, bad Rip-Off is ongoing.

I have withdrawals awaiting approval from over 101 hours ago (4 days).

I have Two-Factor Authentication.

I placed ticket 2017-06-19.
Ticket number #242937, #243000, #257580.

No response from support team (Do they exist in our reality?).

Poloniex is fraud exchange stock.

Edit: My money was withdrawn on July 6, 2017.
All tickets are resolved.

Seems like these are the early signs of polo turning to scam.

Get your money out.

My Golem has dissapeared. Been 10 days now. Nothing has come.


Mt. Gox v2 incoming

Probably its because a lot of traders had been withdrawing their Ethereum coins, and maybe they didn't expect a lot to be withdrawing all their Ethereum coins most especially of its price increasing. But a lot have been complaining about Poloniex lately and I'm beginning to worry too.

Well, i made withdrawal recently from poloniex without any problems(bitcoin) so maybe you should try with bitcoin too? Or dogecoin.
Why do you hold your coins in exchange anyway?
Are you not afraid when someone else is holding your money?

If you want to withdraw, I would suggest doge instead of btc as there are still some users reporting issues on btc withdrawal but I haven't heard any problem on doge. Other than that, doge has a faster confirmation

This thread was started in March..

I've not attempted withdrawal since end of May, last two were BTC.

Never had a problem with any withdrawals.

Don’t doubt that if you do have a problem you are probably going to have a wait, same as any other centralised service at the moment.

14 days since poloniex stole 1.83 bitcoin from my wallet where i was transiting to do an exchange, no answer for support at all, dont leave youre money there and dont put it there if you dont have any on their exchange yet, they stole it and i have proof and now we should expect them to disappear really soon

I'm not sure why you're all wishing poloniex to fail, do you want us to lose our money ?

By reading on here it seems many people are making dozens of tickets, it's no wonder they're having trouble answering them.

I know Polo has been around for a long time but all these problems are worrying. I would not trade there until all their issues get resolved.  :-[

even more worrying is on another thread their is a guy saying he did ticket on 21 and they already answered him and solve his problem; if its true were in deep shit cause my tickets are 15 days old and not even an answer after stealing 1.83 bitcoin from my wallet so it means they take care of who they want to continue to operate but those who got their money stolen they dont take care, so they will fn disappear its a matter of time , im gonna put some funds together and open to donation , well put a bounty on this guy heads : TRISTAN D'AGOSTA the owner of poloniex and their are 2 or 3 address where they can be in us , so if i can have some help for finding him , i would appreciate , i also have the pitcures of this asshole for those interested message me

you do not want to go after the owner.,but the company and they are in Delaware..

It's been 3 days that my withdrawals are pending.

Is this some sort of scam ?

i use bittrex now, cant be arsed with polo

I already filed complaint at BBB, if you have the same issue with them please do so

https://preview.ibb.co/mUVNYQ/Polo.png

That is really sad to hear to loose a huge amount and not to hear from the support staff,i am sure they will rectify your issue but i am not sure how much time will it take for that to happen,they are having some issues for some time now ,their support staff are a bit odd as they wont reply to everyone but they usually settle things in a short period,hope you will get it sorted out soon.

It's only on BTC !

I have two transactions stuck on BTC since Friday. Just transfered ETH and it went through immediately. Convert all of your coins to ETH, get them out ASAP. This could end ugly!

LOL, what a retarded statement. ETH chain cost so much all the exchanges had to stop withdrawels yeah thats the way off an exchange. Actually that is unusually what ltc and doge are good for. Just a tip for those of you that didn't know what to use in those situations. :)

The point is to avoid using btc, the point is not to panic as it could be a glitch in their website.

 choose whatever other coin you wish.

I'm testing my new vanity address. I've withdrawn 0.001BTC from Poloniex. The transaction has been broadcast in less than 5 minutes : https://blockchain.info/tx/b98ee602f7103eaea025a904d33f28a86835eb1b242093f296ae5552c008f899

If it's a scam it's an elaborate one.

I'm not denying any problem, but the situation just doesn't smell scam to me. I have a lot more than 0.001BTC on Poloniex so I'm not saying this from the comfort of a cold wallet.

Polo is getting a bad rap for many reasons, one is the laws they are conforming to which I think is why some peoples coins are taking so long to get released. But Idiots that don't check to see if a wallet is disabled because of blockchain issues (ETH has this all the time) or in BTC's terms the chain is horribly slow. Alot of the complaining is because they don't know how to check if their withdraw has been broadcast and only know if it's received. I don't think Polo will ever be a scam but it's massive growth with the soaring BTC price has also played a signifigant role in it's scaling.

People don't keep up on things and always yell scam if everything doesn't immediately work. Your in the beginnings of a completely new technology that is being used world wide and you think it should work like visa, that is moronic!

IOW, if you don't know what the fuck is going on then GTFO.

Ah ah, actually from my not so great experience I've encountered much more problems with VISA than with crypto. Now I keep three debit/credit cards (VISA, Mastercard and AMEX) specifically so at least one will work when I'm abroad. In my country having more than one card is pretty unusual...

this is also true as well as bank transfers taking 4 or 5 business days being completely unacceptable. The only coin that is as safe as fiat IMO is XMR and it is still in it's infancy. LTC is a pretty dependable and quick coin but it's fiat value has been seriously fluctuating as most coins have. For mass adoption stability is also a key feature for a store of wealth. Of course speculating is a completely different animal.


Thank you. :)

18 days since polo stole 1.83 bitcoin from my wallet and dont answer my tickets

Why is this always from newbie accounts? Do you not want to use your main one or did you just google this thread?

Just an FYI alot of N00b accounts just spread FUD so no one is going to take you serious.

Check his post history...

Looks like he has alot of coins. Maybe they are blacklisting. :)

https://blockchain.info/address/1HntVi6fRpF8e6o6ghctdurEvVpZAe7Lbg

It would be stupid to send black coins to a US regulated exchange though, so...

Maybe... I just wanted to point out he created this acc only because of this "issue", and shitspammed with this all of the relevant threads.

Yup, not gonna believe him without more proof then a transaction. Especially one from an account with massive amounts flowing through it and he needs to spam here for 1.8.

With all these rumors about poloniex i decieded  to withdraw my balance.
About 5 minutes after email confirmation, i received my coins.

Good to know, what coins?


I had to open a ticket today, I placed margins that did not appear yet were charged for.

I don't understand why the people keeps says that poloniex is scam exchanger but i have made couples withdrawal was succesfull
i think the problem on the kinds of altcoins be withdrawal not on poloniex service, i have made withdrawal ethereum classic was succesfull and also with bitcoins too, we must check the network of altcoins that be withdrawal before complaint on here.

Complete    BTC   1.83067190

then one of poloniex bot or manually , those bitcoin were taken from my account to theirs as you see below in the link   ; and how i know its poloniex is easy as you see lots of previous transaction with them; its like i did a trade

https://blockchain.info/address/1HntVi6fRpF8e6o6ghctdurEvVpZAe7Lbg

first im living the stress of my life as where the hell is my money
second i sent multiple request to support which dont answer ;with the money they make they should hire tons off stafff since they know whats coming unless they are  idiots
third my losss is up into thousands already


so, for those stupid idiot who think im chilling as poloniex stole around 5000 usd from my wallet ; and i wasnt withdrawing or anything, they simply fn took it.

so those idiot who are criticizing me look at blockchain and youll see last place where it went is in their account, after 20 days if i wasnt to bring hell to them its totally my right , and if they dont refund me , they will need tons of cops to protect them

the owner is Tristan D'agosta , look on google pictures, hes on top left, i saved them if ever they disappear, they didnt stole the right guys, its bringing me tons of problems as this would now be 15 k , its a loss and i need to cover this loss

Keep on not refunding me poloniex no problem , ill have each and everyone of you one by one ... legally or not

This is becoming normal every now and then in last few days i read here that user are scammed from poloniex. And in most cases its BTC balance on some cases there are some other coins but most in bitcoin. Dont know what is happening to them but this is not good for many who have coins there. Still its 1 to 10000 users that have issues but again its not good for business.

Did you call the authorities? They are regulated and you can take them to court. They are bound by US laws.

no, they will probably disappear before we have a chance to do so but i will next week if no refund , were at 20 dammm days now

No doubt, in every thread i read about polo, 90% of users are getting these accusations serious and removing their coins from there.
Wish them can solve these problems, otherwise, we can start to worry about the future of this exchange

Just sent 10 XMr to Kraken from Polo with no issue and it was FAST!

i hope all problem about poloniex solved
because poloniex big exchanger, number one altcoin exchanger, with the best volume transaction

Today there is problem on login to poloniex
CONNECTION ERROR

Sorry, we're unable to connect to the server at the moment.
Please try again in a few minutes.

Ray ID: 3777f9cada0d31aa
Error reference number: 502
I don't know how long this program be fixed by developers of poloniex please confirm for users who has same problem with me, i hope it will not be scam service. :D

I don't think they are purposely trying to steal from people but the problems are definitely going to lead people to other exchanges, bittrex seems to be gaining more and more volume every day.

I can't connect either. And my bot can't connect either. Wait and see. It's still early in the US.

It's back now. Looking at the charts the outage lasted about an hour. No info yet on what happened.

The weird thing about that is Polo is registered and the owner is known and is liable if something happens to the exchange so he has ZERO incentive to exit scam and all the reasons in the world to continue to keep his massive userbase. Bittrex on the other hand does not have margin so it is a no-go for many traders. I'm trying to deal with krakon again right now but their interface is literally fucking SHIT!

I know about the limits and withdrawing a large amount of money for example 10-15k worth in USD then it may take a week to get them out, not only we should wait but we have to pay fees for each transaction which both of them sucks. We should not consider poloniex and any other exchange like a wallet because these are getting hacked "easily" and so "often".

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SPREADING THIS FUD!!!

Polo Got Hacked ONCE!!!  Years Ago. It does not keep getting hacked like people keep repeating.  If someone that hasn't changed their password from that hack years ago gets their account Hijacked then it's on them not polo. Polo notified EVERYONE when they were hacked IMMEDIATELY and completely made EVERYONE WHOLE!!!  Please tell me another exchange that has done that???

AFA not using your account for a wallet that goes without saying but if you trade you have no choice but to leave funds on an exchange, only non traders would think otherwise.


Getting your account Hijacked IS NOT A HACK OF AN EXCHANGE, Get that through your thick skulls people.

BTW n691309 I just quoted you because of your loose wording which continues to support the fudders even if incidentally. ;)

Do you guys really think that they are going to put that income in jepardy to steal $1000 from people. They are already earning a lot through exchange fee as poloniex is the biggest exchange currently.

Not sure why you quoted me on that as I certainly don't think so as I've clearly stated in the bolded and underlined part.

they answered ticket way after me, they stole my 1.83 bitcoin and fuck offf

sad news for them im a crazy motherfucker

heres the face of the thief we need to catch   https://www.linkedin.com/in/tristandagosta


Lets start the hunt fellows

no they are not scam exchange
they are just slow because of load

i use poloniex many times but not always , but i had no problem with them yeah i trust you if you say its a ponzi scheme even tho its a bit ridiculous , oh yeah also i saw 1 thread that the guy who make thread caught poloniex bot on chat box and make a ridiculous pump , its make sense how poloniex slowly lost their customer back in february i guess

Hi .

My poloniex account ( without 2FA ) has been hacked recently and all my coins are on " withdrawal awaiting " status because the hacker wanted to send my coins on his own wallet .

Do you know if i will recover my coins ?

Indeed , it should be easy for poloniex to cancel this order because it has not been authorized by me .

With this aim in view , i opened a ticket but i still have no answer since two days .

If anybody had the same troubles , please tell me what could happen .

Thanks in advance .

Support answered to me after 3 weeks:

"Dear Pavel,

Please be advised that Poloniex is not a web wallet or address changing service. When a customer deposits funds to their Poloniex account we assume they do so to trade on our platform. Continued use of your Poloniex account to deposit and withdraw funds without trading could lead to freezes and possible account closure.

There are a variety of other solutions for storing your coins. Check out local wallets or web wallets designed for handling such operations.

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

Sincerely,
Javan Green
Poloniex Support"


They don't withdraw my money. Just get back my 1 ETH on my Poloniex account. ((

we are not in the wild-west bro, calm down.

no, we are not in a wild wild west but its what need to happen as those guys will fuck us all, and im going forwarrd with it, the money they stole cause me all kind of problem and if they dont refund like yesterdfay, they dont give me any choice

wait a minute. Loss of 4K can cause you problems, but you can provide 50K anytime to anyone who kills the head of polo? It just doesn't make sense to me.

They seem to be taking 2-4 weeks to answer support tickets, instead of going in a frenzy how about you wait for them to get to you.

Instead of making wild threats, contact the police. Then contact poloniex to advise them that you have made an official report to the police.

Just curious did you deposit funds straight from the dark web market to p0loniex  ;D .Dont have to answer that by the way :D  but they have ways of spotting this and i guessing there asking you for your ID and where u got the funds from .

Poloniex had issues with their SC wallet a month and a half ago... just as I transferred 2000 coins. They never showed up on the wallet (transaction is perfectly logged on the blockchain though). 3 (unanswered) tickets and almost 2 months later, still nothing.

These guys are fucking thieves in my book. I haven't traded with them since.

funds where coming from bitstamp, and the coin on bitstamp were bought with a wire transfer from my bank account , i had an answer from them 4 days ago telling me they are forwarding to an agent to look for missing funds . Again it take 5 min to see they took it, i actually had more problem then i thought with this situation, it even hit my credit big time , i still dont have my money and im thinking we should all get a major lawsuit like kraken , even mtgox dood is having charge . Violence might make them understand but will cost way more then 50-100 k as already some people contacted me for this but we can all get together and make a lawsuit against them

what do you guys think about it ?

I didnt even read that on their ToS that using them as a wallet would really blocked your account. They do have a point and they have the rights but they should really announce it or make it clear into their potential users because it cant really be avoided on some people that they would use an exchanged for the sake on depositing and withdrawing funds. Just like what i did on coinbase until now i didnt experience any problems on it.

My myriad is not withdrawn from 1.06.2017, the application is hanging, after the next ticket was written that the coin is delisting and they need to synchronize the wallet)), although before that 30 coins were withdrawn (there were several applications) from 90tys. In short, those trolls. I created a couple more tickets and they banned me from supporting))
translate google)

Fuck that shitty exchange. I requested a tiny withdrawal of 0.01 BTC and it's still in their "awaiting approval" state for over 8 hours already, meaning someone has to manually approve the request. Only after that the transaction will be broadcast. I opened a support ticket and it was summarily closed with an automated reply email saying that withdrawals may remain in that state for up to 24 hours - seriously???

If you're lending, then you don't hold your coins, so in the event of a fork, you will only get back one of the forked coin. It's normal, there is no way to do it differently, since the coins are lent to other users, not to Poloniex.

I wonder what's the reason for the "awaiting approval" some of you are getting, what is your level ?

I'm only Level 1, have provided my info more than a month ago to get to level 2, but it's still processing.

Nonetheless I can withdraw instantly, 2000$ worth of BTC each day for the last 5 days. I want to get everything out before the 31st July to ride the mess (and go to vacation) without worries.

21 hours and counting...

I'm level 2, fully verified. This didn't use to happen a few months ago, withdrawals would be propagated to miners right after I confirmed them. And I only use Poloniex for very small BTC amounts, usually to convert some alt coin into BTC.

24 hours and counting... Unbeliavable!

After 27 hours of them illegally withholding assets that belong to me, I went to the contact page of the Delaware Attorney General (http://Delaware Attorney General) to find his contact information. I then looked on Poloniex's site for their physical address and it only shows "Poloniex, Inc. 2017 - Wilmington, DE, USA".

Trying to find their complete physical address, I did a search for "Poloniex" on the SEC (http://SEC) site, which raised a red flag - the SEC has the company registered as "Poloniex, LCC" and incorporated in Montana, with the physical address "1001 S. MAIN STREET SUITE 600 KALISPELL MT 59901".

A quick search on Google for "Poloniex, LLC" returned this very interesting reddit post from just 3 months ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/62slgv/who_the_hell_is_poloniex/) among the first results (someone had made this research before me):


In a nutshell: their physical addresses, both in Delaware and in Montana, are of virtual offices provided by companies like Vcorp Services (https://www.vcorpservices.com), whose site advertises "same day incorporation and LLC formations".

The reddit user who started that thread posted this reply to a comment that said this was "common business practice":

Didn't the fact the coins on Poloniex are more then 10 times the value they should be with faked bot inflated volumes, would of been a serious clue for people that they doing some real dodgy shit.

When the coins they about to remove are announced they drop over 50% in value before the announcement is made. This is so all the insiders can sell off in time.

It is another cryptsy in the making. Wait a few more months.

TheIrishman : so you're doing all this for 0.001 BTC ?

Potentially screwing thousands of people who have real funds on Poloniex ?

The value of shitcoins doesn't mean anything. If they're removed it's precisely because they have low volume. Low volume = meaningless price.

It's 0.01 BTC. But whether it's 0.01 BTC or 1K BTC doesn't matter - they're mine and they can't deny anyone access to their coins without a very plausible reason.

And I'm not the shady exchange illegally witholding people's coins and hiding behind virtual office addresses - direct your vitriol to Poloniex. I believe making people aware of this stuff is actually helping them, giving them a chance to move their coins to another exchange before it's too late.

By the way, it's now over 48 hours since I requested the withdrawal. They haven't replied to my support ticket and it hasn't even been assigned to a support agent yet.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=poloniex+scam (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=poloniex+scam)

I opened a ticket Tuesday and it has been answered today.

Not about withdrawing as I have no problem with that, it is about Level 2 verification.

poloniex is a scam like yobit,dont use these exchanges.

Having a known physical address did not do anything to prevent Gox or Cryptsy although it would give you a good destination to which to carry your pitchfork and torch.


I don't understand, how do his actions potentially screw other users?

I partially agree. As far as I'm concerned, when a company refuses to divulge their actual physical address and hides behind virtual office addresses, that's a clear sign that they are deliberately acting in bad faith. Your examples make sense, though, if you compare what has been happening with Poloniex lately to the obvious indications of problems with those two exchanges which most everybody chose to ignore until it was too late.

4 days and counting... After 2 days the ticket was finally assigned to a support agent, who "has been working on it" for... let me check what it says: "Being Processed since 1 days 18 hours".

Yes, all that trouble for a 0.01 BTC withdrawal requested by a level 2 verified account.

everybody already knew about this. but nobody can do anything about it, there are too many users and all the whales is there. before Poloniex, we must rebel against YobiT

why would we? Just leave that crap.

everyone take youre funds of the exchange, i just did a complaint to the sec and tomorrow ill do FBI, you should all complaint if you got stolen funds from them; as for the others you should wake up, this will close them for sure ; so take your funds while you can , look at my video for proof, its the post before

heres link for FBI complaint    https://www.ic3.gov/complaint/splash.aspx?

You are telling us, poloniex just stole your money, but you are only showing us a deposit and trade history with 0 balance. Convincing yeah.. After your deposit "was stolen" you bought like 25 eth. Why would someone do that?

One thing is strange. Mostly, they are newcomers and people with little money they generally say that Poloniex is a scam. When I read the forums, I almost will not find anyone who would have blocked a larger amount of money.

i didnt do a very good video , im sorry; funds were not just stolen , they were 44 days ago, you , i circle the transaction but you dont see it in video, look at my sell, i sold what i bought, you see the last trade i did on the 10 th, then i show on blockchain site, you see the hour they took it , go back see on the right hours and date of trade andd you see i didnt trade until the day after ,sorry if my video not very good, take the time to look at it and youll see evrything i say is right

i dont know if youre stupid or you work for poloniex, but hit poloniex scam on google and look first page , last few comments, youll see people with 10 times the money they stole me, 20 times , so much that if you dont see it its because you work for poloniex and youre a liar or yourdumb as a pot and you dont know how to open your eyes

I do not work for poloniex. Whether I am stupid or not, that is another thing. Anyway, if I want to come to something, I verify the information from multiple sources. There are dozens of members with good reputation who claim they have no more serious problems with Poloniex. And then a few individuals like you. just cry and call others as morons

There are complaints about larger amounts too, but I am not convinced.
I think that we have 2 things here: internal issues at Polo, but not as many as some wants us believe and a campaign against Polo, since they became too big and may have upset somebody...
I wish the internal issues get fixed though, they should afford that..

Deposit completed: 2017-06-10 05:37
First eth buy: 2017-06-10 05:50

We still can't see any evidence, that your transaction is not credited to your account. Anyways I hope you are aware, that the chain explorer shows +2 hours, because of the time zone mismatch.

I've been using the exchange since 2014 and I've been a level 2 verified user for some time, so FUCK YOU. Why don't you post with your real account instead of hiding behind that alt account with 3 posts?

6 days and counting with my tiny withdrawal "awaiting approval":

And now this... seems very convenient:

Offcourse many people have problems with Poloniex but till now I didn't face any challenges with these exchanges. May be your problems will be solved by sending a support ticket to them, they will take care their members issues.

I'm sure the FBI will put your case on high priority : can't withdraw 20$ from a cryptowhat? for 6 days.

I see this problem really needs attention from all of us here to advice our mate here not to be such exagerated emotions towards poloniex, and as you've mentioned here problems will be solves by the admin support through recommended request steps like incident ticket. They're liable to habdle this very deep situation here and I do believe there is problem to solve, that had caused delays on your transactions.

hey guys, i need a real expert to analyze my poloniex account. Im arguying with one of their support since 5 hours and he almost made me think i had the money and i spent it . Im not crazy i moved everything i had that night and was waiting for this deposit that never came, the day after i sold the rest i had since still no news , The deposit was not whowing in those first 24 hours, i thought network was overload and bitcoin was taking longer and longer, at no point i had access to my funds. I rolled around my account but damm its easy to get mixed up, the guy told me trade ad up , but how can he say that when value of market move. The point i realized im not wrong, i would have known if i had spent those coin is when i looked at deposit history and none of my ether deposit were showing, i looked at the withdrawal address and they are address were i sent ether from exodus, coinbase and cei.xo, so i know they manipulate my account. I nned someone to help me proove them wrong, please guys i really need that money

email me at webgenesis@outlook.fr if you can help me, please to get out this nightmare

Well, you can do it yourself, it's not rocket science, just get a ms excel, and import your trade history and compare it with your withdraws and deposits.

yes but the thing is they play with numbers is think cause what they say look ok

but i caught them, i now have the best proof and it makes all this evn more scary : i traded xrp for bitcoin at 527 am (i know ity was dumb) then i transfer to poloniex at 532 am   ,

 Withdrawal   Jun. 10, 2017, 05:32 AM   Main Account   1.83067190 BTC

then poloniex put that the deposit was completed at 537 am and i spent it

i think this is one major proof or their manipulation as the deposit didnt show cleared for at least 2 days , maybe more ; the thing is this dont make sense and they didnt thought we would have proof from other sites , anyone ever saw a bitcoin transaction between 2 exchange clear in 5 min ? at least in past year

but they had to put this for confusing me like i spent it

i think ill compaint to the FBI today, after seeing them swimming in lies not to refund me.

Yes, it was confirmed in 5 mins.
https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/8ed0a0fec6dc1c917d6e76d4ff67518132f060e09d30538619878f1f581fce32 (https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/8ed0a0fec6dc1c917d6e76d4ff67518132f060e09d30538619878f1f581fce32)

jamesweb6 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=998351) (not me) filed a complaint with the SEC, not the FBI. He just posted the link where you can contact the FBI. If it comes to that, I'll go way further than that. Read the posts more carefully before posting your BS.

I hope you have a lot of coins on Poloniex and lose them all when it finally goes under, just like the other pieces of moronic subhuman garbage who kept defending Cryptsy and MtGox until it was too late.

I don't think it will be easy for a non-US citizen to file a report. Anyways, we still couldn't see evidence in his case.

Actually I do have a lot of coins and I can only withdraw them 2000$ at a time, which I've been doing for 10 days.

But thank you for wishing me harm, very nice.

Actually, the nationality of the complainant is irrelevant. The FBI form obviously requests that the complainant's country of residence be informed: https://complaint.ic3.gov/default.aspx (https://complaint.ic3.gov/default.aspx). On the "financial transaction(s)"  part of the form, there's already a "virtual currency" option.

That wouldn't be the primary route I'd take, though. I would first collect information on more cases where there's clear evidence of misconduct by the exchange, and then present them to the SEC, FINCEN, and the attorney generals of the states where the exchange is incorporated.

If I posted everything I wish you and your family, I'd probably be banned from this site.

Hey man chill out. I have been trading on regulated stocks over ten years. Cryptos are my hobby for now. I do not trade big amounts via crypto exchanges. I still look for information about exchanges. Maybe you should learn about brokers in the past. As it was always, they are not your friends. They will first deal with those who trade in large volumes. 0.01 btc is a small amount in my point of view

flekkelek are you working for poloniex, you seems to defend them a lot, to answer one of your previous message i bought ether after with other coins i sold, i had a lot on poloniex on top of this.  the bitcoin were never available that day ,im not stupid , i even thought market was overcharged since it was taking so long , and after it showed it was cleared in 5 min but i never access it, explane this ? , and seriously recently the network speed improove since the newthing and even now its longer, but when you send money between wallet its a bit faster but still bitcoin takes time, but try to send between 2 exchange bitcoin to see how much longer it takes . I never had access to those funds and now its the FBI who will tell us the end of the story cause i just did an official complaint. as poloniex deleted all my ether deposit and probably manipulate the rest of the account , now its almost impossible to know what is real and not .
only thing i know is ether deposit erased plus a bitcoin transaction confirmed in 5 min tell me something smell fishy there. And i would have noticed 20 ether ...lol

Yeah, polo probably hacked the whole blockchain, just to cover their theft with a 5 minutes long transaction time. Crystal clear. Good luck with the FBI, just please keep us informed about the outcome, I'm very curious now.
And I do not work for polo, I'm defending the common sense, not them. Arguing about 5 minutes transaction time? Well, if you think it's not possible, you should leave the cryptoworld for good, because btc is meant to be fast, that is one of its goals.
We will see what the investigation will bring, if it will be once. If you are right, I hope you will get your funds back.

Poloniex isn't the scam it's shitcoins and the pump and dump groups. Their favorite exchange used to be Bittrex, they moved to Poloniex because ETH volume moved all the noobs to Poloniex. Unless they steal your coins they aren't scamming you, you're scamming yourself. Nobody is forcing you to trade shit coins or fall for pump and dumps. stop trying to get rich quick, and if you insist on falling for get rich quick ICO and shitcoins stop blaming others for your own decisions.

It seems to me that a blockchain analysis can check if indeed his transaction was confirmed to Polo's min confirm rate within 5 minutes. I've had them take an hour but also had them hit within 5 minutes so this can be checked. And yes Polo has been pulling some shady shit. I was told a week ago my case would be addressed "Soon" but have heard jack shit since then. But my issue is of very low importance, never the less.

i would like someone to explane me why when we send bitcoin to an exchange it use to always take long time, for me , average 2 hours i would say, but always transaction mark as cleared like 5 min after , if the transaction is confirmed 5 min after why isnt it available right away ?

It all comes down to the pending transactions in the blockchain, do some research.

i undertsnd they stay pending a while depending traffic but how could it mark clear after 5 min if it was only available after 2 hours, thats the part i dont understand and probably my only proof against poloniex, my account look so to addup that im starting to think im crazy , but damm i would have known if i got 20 ether extra . This is the only thing keeping me sane as i did multiple traded on mutliple exchanges and everytime i sent them coin even ether and dash, it took some times to be availalable bitcoin is the worst. But with the set up they did i was spending them 33 min after sending it from another exchange . I know i was never able to do that after trying and trying , we have to wait for them. So how could that have happened that day... im so desperate about all this , i dont know what to do , are they that fn good ...

Maybe you got hacked? goto history and look up your eth transaction history. Do that by going to eth exchange chart scoll to bottom and click my transactions tab next to market trades.

Seriously it sounds to me like you just are not able to see what happened. If you need this stuff done for you then I'll do it for 2 XMR. I'm not wasting my time on this any longer.

jamesweb6 I get the impression you played a little too much casino with your funds. I have done this on a smaller scale, and only with BTC, but still, when I had many margin positions opened, betting on upswings and downswings at the same time, it became too much. I feel like you weren't really in control of what you were doing, and that you lost track of your gains and losses. I've not done much trading on Poloniex but I find their interface quite confusing so that might not help.

I think Poloniex is a big market, if you say you all other markets it is the same thing

It sounds like a good opinion, thanks for that. If people think that crypto exchanges and their users are all on the same boat, they will be probably overwhelmingly disappointed

10 days and counting...

Poloniex service is very bad, they are very slow service,
I suffered  loss  $ 1,500 due to poor poloniex service

this is crazy 27 days my withdrawal status complete; Error (can not be canceled).
He just responded after 27 days,

and they responded, after I got angry on official twitter

https://image.prntscr.com/image/WG8w5js6St29BY4ea-kASQ.png


you imagine, you wait 27 days to withdraw your assets.
this is crypto currency, fluctuating price
time is very important for traders, and your support ticket is ignored, their communication to customers is very bad because slow in reply.

I recently took all my polo coins out.  Had NO PROBLEMS.
but... I have lost all trust in them due to their silence about BCC...
Polo where are my BCC.

They're a little late, but here is:
 https://poloniex.com/press-releases/2017.08.03-Bitcoin-Cash-Update/

since i have stopped using polo for bittrex the process seems a lot smoother and easier. i have much more confidence in bittrex than polo and won't use they again.

Thats right, poloniex is it scam because my friend try deposit for to exchange coin in poloniex so to date not in in he account.
i think Bittrex currently will be in the best for exchange coin and sell / buy coin.
To date i am fear exchange my coin in poloniex. be carefull for trading in this site ( poloniex)

Poloniex is not a scam nor ponzi, just a shitty trading site. Takes years for any of their support to return on mails and answer on queries plus non-professional way in answering if they ever answer you.

I suspect something big has happen to them and they are not telling: possibly being investigated like Btc-e.
I have been with them for years but now I have lost all trust.

I read they leave washington , since new state laws were implemented to exchanges.

If bittrex had Margin trading I would already be there. I moved to Kraken only to find out they only margin from USD and that does me no fucking good.

Almost all exchangers accept BCC. Poloniex i think is still on the way. There is no strong evidence to say poloniex scam. Currently bittrex is more popular, Poloniex is still a strong competitor.

Trex has almost no XMR volume.

anyone have problem to withdraw some coins?

i'm try to withdraw my NEM but my withdraw is on "Awaiting Approval" since 4 hours!

obviously i've confirmed the withdraw clicking on the link they send to my mail...

it's almost 3 days that my withdraw is blocked.

have you opened a ticket?

yes, off course. 3 days ago.
They told me that my withdraw have to be approved manually. I don't know why! It's only 7k nem...

anybody else with my problem?

Polo is currently at a huge wave of problem and ticket submissions, been like that for few months. If you check their official thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=420836.0), you'll see a lot of people complaining with similar issue as yours. Basically they withdrawing major coin like eth or btc, but same issue happen where their transaction stuck and needed to be processed manually. Right now, the only thing to do is waiting for the team to clear it.

thanks for the info!

i think that i must wait

Poloniex stole all my ltc, dont ever try this Exchanger.
No contact, just can send tickets that they will never reply.

http://www.webd.com/the-poloniex-review-that-got-me-banned/

And the lizard people run polo... You forgot to mention it. This is some high level conspiracy shit.

Obviously you don't understand that he was being facetious.

I don't get it, this video was sarcastic?
Yes, that was sarcastic

You can't blame me for that, this is not even slightly funny. The accent makes it worse.

GDAX does margin trading.

Why would someone use laggy Polo when there are many better excahges? Ever since I got into crypto I keep hearing people complaining about Polo issues. I do have an account on Polo but never use it due to constant problems people experience with them

WTF? Hacker sold his exploit to bypass @Poloniex 2FA because they didn't answer his support?

https://twitter.com/MisterCh0c/status/897756404093726720

POLONIEX IS ABSOFUCKINGLUTLY SCAM. SINCE 3 DAYS THEY ARE HOLDING MY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND DONT REPLY TO SUPPORT TICKETS. I BET ALL IN ALL THEY ARE HOLDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THEY HAVE REACHED A POINT THAT THEY HAVE SO BAD REPUTATION THAT THEY CAN NO LONGER SURVIVE IN THIS BUSINESS. THEIR ONLY WAY EXIT IS TO RUN AWAY WITH CUSTOMERS' MONEY. WE NEED TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM!

the thing everyone has been saying about polo being shit and failures but people still use them. the only way is for people to stop using them but this could cause issues short term but longterm better.

Well people ... after waiting for ages (weeks to be exact) i finally got my BTC _and_ my BCH out of polo, sadly, they still did not give me the real BCH for all BTC in limbo.... but o.k.

I only have 0.01btc left there in several coins ... but i'm actually checking my options where to send them to have them on the safe side _if_ they actually break down completely. :(

Hacky


P.s.: You should watch the initial [ANN] thread from Busoni too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=420836

scammers are everywhere, ensure you, your check and read and understand how the market runs, avoid ex changers with bad track record, meaning you got to explore before investing or using an exchanger.

I always encounter many technical issues in polo. I always get logged out after a minute of getting logged in is what always happen to me. I still don't know why most investors go to polo instead of bittrex that I have never encountered any issues ever since.

I have not seen any evidence if poloniex is a scam but with the problems that exist in poloniex we should be more careful again and think further to use poloniex because there are still many problems that have not been resolved there yet.

I keep reading all these scam accusations against poloneix , yet, people keep using them. Is it that the majority ain't aware that they are selectively scamming?

or just the majority don't fall for this fud. always noob accounts... interesting, huh?

New accounts are having problems withdrawing, but old accounts are not. So the old accounts continue to use Poloniex.

In addition they have some features that other exchanges don't, such as the ability to lend btc and some alts and the ability to short some alts (because traders can borrow them). Bittrex for example has no lending and no margin trading.

I will soon withdraw all my funds from Poloniex.

One of my NOTE deposits never arrived and never ever showed up anywhere on Poloniex, eventhough I can clearly see them in the blockchain.

A support ticket that I had submitted weeks ago still hasn't been answered of course.

I'm thinking about spamming the support, since I lost A LOT of money because I can't sell my NOTE and I'm losing money everyday.

 We know this fact and poloniex has positive points and negative points, but his positive points are more than negative, so I don't care

We know everything has both condition and it is good or bad. I heard about poloniex is a scam but i didn't not face any problem with it. In this time, new account is faced a little bit problem but old account is still ok. But we should conscious about poloniex.

I think poloniex is not a scam, but seeing poloniex is one of the biggest exchangers, it makes poloniex the target of heavyweight hackers, and always keeps their servers down. But I only know until here, I do not know the latest news.

Shady fucks for sure, when they aren't processing withdrawals for ages (bitcoin withdrawals) and verification takes several months...their doing everything in their power to slow down withdrawals...kinda gives me the impression their close to insolvency.

Pretty sure they'll eventually disappear one day...

I think they have regulators on site that are overseeing them looking for money launderers but that is just my guess. But my tickets on my fucked over margin calls have gone unanswered still and that is just reeking of incompetence or scamming. won't be long before I open a scam thread. They are just lucky that i'm lazy and amount I lost is small, but the amount I would have gained is not.

I am here to spread poloniex is not as safe as before, not spread it's a scam exchange,be careful if you are still trading here.

These complaints are worrying everyone. Hope to never need to open a support ticket there.

I don't think regulators are doing anything. Poloniex isn't even licensed anywhere. They are based in the US and have a self-registered FINCEN #, but they don't hold any licenses as a money transmitter.

I think that usually, in those kinds of cases, US regulators would slap them with an action/fine out of the blue. Or they'll just straight up seize your domain like BTC-e, if they really want to make a point about money laundering.

They don't actively work with the exchanges regarding AML, except under subpoena in an active investigation, or where Poloniex voluntarily forwards information to law enforcement.

It smells like Cryptsy to me.

Polo still haven't credited the ZEC that wen missing in june when their ZEC wallet was down, nor have they answered my emails regarding this issue. 2,5 months lol. If that isn't a scam then i don't know what is.

KEEP AWAY!!
USE BITTREX!

First of all, i would say, i have traded cryptos since 2012 and i have saw the many exchanges scam but never got into them. I hope i never will, but Poloniex.com has something, something weird that i cannot explain on this message. But i suggest you to take these facts seriously and think about the situation they've build. And sorry about my bad verbal and written english. I was suprised that this old polo scam thread is still pumped daily btw.

My request for upgrading my account sitting for months now, nobody answers..  there's nobody there...

Remember what happened spring 2017? Odd crashes on large pumps, especially when ripple pumped.

People started yelling "Scam POLO SCam1!1" on trollbox, days in a row...
Then they disabled it.

Last couple years place had weekly updates, new coins added etcetera... Nowdays silence falls upon us from holders of our wealth. You hardly get the newest updates.. some times days late. That is a long wait in crypto world.

This is beginning of an end...


EDIT:
 ??? ??? ???***WARNING*** ??? ??? ???  9/8/17 (Eighth of september) Big investor posted some information,  tweeted over hundred times, that large groups of professional crypto investors, whales mostly, telling you , together that you should: LEAVE-POLONIEX-IMMEDIATELY

It's circling around the internet.  I withdrawed 5400+ XRP to BITTREX.com immediately. At least they(Bittrex) have people's real names and pictures on the website with professional backgrounds and not just a silly nicknames with no information at all. They are holding your personal wealth. With no names, no backgrounds CLEARLY stated!

Source? Post?

Seriously, Lets see your Source on this. You do realize your painted in Red muumimamma.

Lol? internet is full of sources about this. google it yourself if you know how to do it?

Also very desperate about poloniex.com adding some shitty coins which were on bittrex months ago. desperate signs to ad confidence to traders that there are activity and modding on the server. i already transferred 95% of my capital to other exchanges and also many other did. and i have traded since 2012.

Looks like FUD to me. Tweeting hundreds of times ? Don't they have something better to do ? Unless they're paid for it => FUD.

I think you can check coinmarketcap.com first then check if its defference to poloniex.

I see only a scammer altaccount.

We really do not know who is running Poloniex?

 >:(
Just want to confirm the fact that they- Poloniex are scum and trap.

Have sent 460K BCN to my address which never appear in my account. Hash confirm delivery,  "support ticket" created 2 weeks ago, but no any one there. One big scum.  BTW any one here who got lucky with its support ticket answered, if so after how many days?

My litecoin withdrawal is still pending.

So far no answer from support. I wonder what the problem is.

Thomas.

PS: Have a security agent check. Police lovin..

Just checked with yobit. No problems with litecoin withdrawal there.

Probably a communist setup.

PS: Forgot. To all my fans. You have been waiting for this one. Yobit has opened their BGT wallet. Wuhuu.
PPS: Just got some litecoin from Genesis Mining. They to are paying out. So the problem seems to be isolated at Poloniex. (Not to mention some other HYIP scams i got entangled in). Should never have sent my drivers-license for approval.. It makes me look like an idiot today. So much for trust.

It's really to better stay away from polo and move all your coins to bittrex or cryptopia. I used their exchange not very often but I experienced a lot of issues on their site that it takes 20 minutes of loading the security check that always keep repeating and it's very annoying.

Bittrex is even worse with the security check. Mostly because of lousy programming.

Poloniex. You are ruining my game!

I wan't my litecoin! Now!

Thomas.
Was just battered with this quote. "You have lost your shadow man?! Nothing more dangerous than a man that has lost his shadow" "What's with that ?" "Well that means you got no more to loose".

I haven't had any issues with Poloniex besides the verification process takes forever.

Thought so too until I got my coins stuck for transaction and since August they have not even replied on support or updated ticket or until you have to contact them they look great but once your coins get some transaction which did not happen to me in the begining.

I have withdrawn most of my coins with no problem I am positive they are scamming on the margin trades for probably a year now almost all my positions that I hit perfectly get cancelled yet none of the ones that moved against me got cancelled, not one! I think they will be in court within the year. They also closed all my tickets on this without any answer and no notification they closed them so that right there is a huge red flag to me hence removing my funds.

Hey Guys. here we are. Another scum from poloniex. I am Trying to withdraw Tether (USDT)  they charge 8.00 USDT for that matter. (8!!!)
Any one saw higher one for ANY Coin?

@meme32: and where you able to withdraw them? I would be surprised actually...I think Polo is a scam

I have heard many complaints of Poloniex's lack of support, but this is first time I am reading that it pumps the coins itself. And Dash is a scam coin? I don't think so. It is becoming highly popular and practical coin even in the non crypto world.

I never had any problems with poloniex. Anyways lack of support for problems is undeniable.
I think its okayish market that you can use but cannot trust to hold your money inside.

Well, if poloniex is not a trusted exchange pls move your coins to a desktop wallet so as to safeguard your investments.

Exactly, yesterday also I got a withdrawal from the Poloniex exchange and don't find anything scam with poloniex exchange. Till now I never faced any withdrawal and deposit problem with poloniex exchange.

Yes, there are so many bots.

if you are from France, you can read this report at https://achetercryptocoins.com

actually from my not so great experience I've encountered much more problems with VISA than with crypto. Now I keep three debit/credit cards (VISA, Mastercard and AMEX) specifically so at least one will work when I'm abroad. In my country having more than one card is pretty unusual...

I have been using Poloniex also a long time, also never got any problems.

Reading this https://achetercryptocoins.com/ cant find anything disturbing. You have a direct link?

Seems. Because, verify account using ID Card also Driver License always rejected. even though the account is obviously mine with 2 btc in it. More than 7 months this has happened. And this very painful because btc so valuable now.

Maybe we should all sign this petition:

Who knows, maybe it will help...

Good idea - I've signed (I've been waiting 2 months for a withdrawal confirmation on my Bitcoin).

I think he means this but it's not that bad so I'm not sure why he posted that link unless it was to FUD knowing most people are not going to goto the effort to translate.

finally - after almost 5 days, got my ZEC, with an entirely different TXID. They changed it stealthily - no message, note, anything...
regarding the tickets - you guesses - no reply whatsoever.

Or just they were aware about the problem and resent every transactions involved? You guys see in every little error some kind of a world wide conspiracy... They won't steal your 12 ZEC, they won't risk their business just to steal some pocket money.. I'm quite sure about that..

I think people are facing some issues with the poloniex exchange but off course you can report them by sending the support ticket. Even they are talking long time but we don't have any other choice we have to keep waiting.

I`m still waiting....

This is actually quite sad. People are getting more and more desperate each time. Isn't it enough that we are given easy in earning money and looking for a good source of income with working too hard for it? The sad thing about this is all the things like these is enough proof that mankind truly are greedy and cannot be contented at all. Hopefully, they'd build or generate more safety measures.

Truly that people are not contented to the things they have too, but for me this thing is not enough proof to says that this poloniex is scammed. Maybe this is desperate move from the competition of this exchange.

I think they just need to provide a lot of evidence to proof that poloniex is a scam.

Specifying a screenshot from transactions from a private office is not enough ???
They write a transaction, EVERYTHING! the same - which in fact in the system there is no longer 7 days !! And it is unlikely to appear

Poloniex knows how to piss people off
Legacy account needs fancy camera can't upload scanned document doesn't define what a HD camera that works for this is.
Well then again it's Polo ...

Make sure to download your transaction data as you never know when you'll have to provide it for a settlement like the proof needed for Craptsy accounts. :)

Do you have any proofs for this? It is really huge if is happening, I don't want to be scammed by them

It's not so much a scam exchange as it's clunky some of the wallets don't sync or broadcast at times for various reasons and now with the recent post a few hours ago the legacy accounts need to begin the KYC/AML and they don't do scanned documents but want a hi resolution camera then don't give a guide on how to do that.

Been less laggy since they killed the trollbox but flash crashes still because of the API's and Bot Trading lol. The future home of Bitconnect api bots too ha-ha or so they say (the true ponzi coin :P)

Notice to Our Legacy Account Holders: https://poloniex.com/press-releases/2017.12.27-Notice-to-legacy-account-holders/


Ha-ha ya you know it off to liquidate (until they decide to accept scanned documents ...)
You know before the giant rush of people crashing the system again with withdrawals.
Or miraculously their camera button works haha

Thx for the link I didn't see that yet, I just got everything off that exchange last week too. So where to go now? Whats a safe one with margin that is not KYC?

Still pondering that one myself Hueristic for now I'm just moving them to POS.
Probably just have them staking Clam for a while on JD and earning upvotes on Steemit so they aren't sitting around completely idle for the safer investments.
If you want to gamble absent margin put them in Smartcash or something and earn the HYIP through a node snapshot.
(Of course the long term is still BTC HODL coins ha-ha since == Gold for now or BCC actual spendable money lol.)

In other words I'll wait for a decentralized exchange for a little while and let the centralized ones do their own things.

So entertaining how hard they are trying... Sure, guys, we believe you.

This is not surprising, do you think that other exchanges don't? this is the essence of the market. First, it is inflated and then deflated

I've been waiting for the email confirmation link for 27 days now... Polo has not responded to my ticket since 26+ days:
https://i.imgur.com/Ly9X9Ro.png

Are they not accepting new users or something ???

Damn! I don't remember seeing that when I signed up almost a month ago. I just rememeber not receiving the confirmation link and seding them a ticket...

Well, if you stuck at registration, just try to register an other one, with different e-mail address. Gmail is recommended. Also you should check spam folders, but be cautios, many real spam coming from similar mail addresses to polo.

Sincerely it remains difficult to believe that poloniex is scam, I have always bought and sold without any problem. why now has it become scam? I just do not understand, it is always easy to point the finger. for me it remains an excellent exchange

I understand that you are very busy. but this is not an excuse to keep coins for more than 24 hours. do preventive maintenance, maintenance. why produce hundreds of applications beyond what is. close those applications that are. otherwise it's more like disrespect for customers. why do people wait for 1 month or more?

Yes, now a days many people are complaining about the poloniex exchange problems. What the hell are the doing with out solving the people issues because mostly newbies are facing problems with those exchanges.

With all the people getting screwed by them why would you even try to register? Are you one of those people that like...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RpmwqaxrwA

I don't know if I could trust that exchange since their's so many reliable bad feedback against them and I can't even disclose that one since its critical issue regarding on exchange matters, and if they can screw up those guys then they have a capabilities to do it also on us. We should step out on this and used the other trend asian exchange which can do better performance than them.

whats good enchange to newest invesment's some enchange is temp blocking or other reson why

I am seriously considering going to a Korean exchange, the only reason I haven't yet is the uncertainty of the crackdown there. I like The volume on BitThumb.

this site can be used only for the Margin trading, so I would not advise you to trade there, there were cases when the findings did not come at all, but there were positive moments, one was not paid, he wrote to the support service and 2 times he got paid.

I deposited 0.5 btc to poloniex for exchange to VIA
Right now i have over 1000+ VIA Withdrawal in poloniex and 0 in my VIA wallet "There are no transactions involving this address."
Also i have 2 fake Txid from Polo "No matching records found!"
Ticket was created 30+ hours ago, no answer from support at this moment.

BEWARE!

Poloniex is one of the oldest exchange in crypto currency, I can't remember that I got any problem to this exchange. because since I started I can't experience problem regarding deposits and withdrawals. Maybe it was happen due to volume of transactions in bitcoin community trafficking in blockchain happen again

same here , i also used polo for a verry long time ever since i known crypto trading. Polo is my verry first exchange and so far i dont have any bad experience to them regarding in deposit and widthrawals although their costumer support is sometimes delayed or kinda bit late whenever i have a concern and questions regarding on some stuffs. But overall polo is pretty legit and secure exchange up until now.

Several users of the Viacoin Telegram group had the same issue. Today a few members posted that their deposits/withdrawals are starting to show up (with a new txid). It is likely that your issue will also be fixed. Poloniex usually resolves their issues without replying to tickets.

I stopped using them from moment they changed their terms of service in august to pretty much what ever happens its not our fault and you cant sue us(or start a class act).Still remeber having to wait for more then a month for eth deposits and having 0 help from them

Be aware that that change in those terms of service do not protect them from any liability all it does is make people that don't know otherwise think they can't sue them. All your rights still exist and they are still responsible for any and all security fraud actions they process.

I deposited $400 worth of Sia Coin to Poloniex. I never got it into my account. I opened a support ticket, telling them the Transaction id and reporting it's visible on the blockchain. It is now 3 days later, and still do not have my coins or a response on the ticket. As far as I'm concerned, they're a scam. Until I get a resolution to this issue, I consider them a scam.

i am using poloniex since last one year and i never had any issues with them.

I never had any issues...thats for sure.

Update: It is now almost a week later, I have added response to my ticket. Still nothing from Poloniex, and my balance is still at 0. Definitely a scam.

Poloniex is one of the Biggest exchange out there for trading, for Poloniex i never faced any problems in terms of deposits and withdrawals. Previous there are many complaints about the withdrawal problems but I think they are recovering the solution for people problems.

although many people stop to use poloniex for doing trading, I still use them to trade and I think I can earn a good profit with many of altcoin in that site. besides that, I think the coin still has a good chance to increase back. and until now, I don't have any problem with them and if I've got a problem, I just send a ticket to them and it will complete after few days. I think I will suggest to every people to verify their account to level 3 so they don't have any problem with withdrawal and deposit.

I don'n ever have any issue with poloniex yet. so, what is the issue of you?

I personally don't use poloniex but I think it's a pretty big and fine exchange that many people use right? I realise this post is very old but is/can it really be a 'scam' exchange?

The world of bitcoin stock exchanges is a wild west, and Poloniex is also struggling with negative reviews. However, there are many regular users and supporters who trust the stock market. You will not lose money with Poloniex, but you need to read them properly to keep you from surprise.
I had no problem yet, and all the transactions went as they had to. For low fees, Poloniex is still a used currency exchange for me.

So your sample size of ONE makes you think that no-one else is having issues and everyone is on a fud campaign?


Scammy behavior on selective accounts it looks like, I personally think they think they can rip off unverified accounts because most of those don't want to KYC which they are making mandatory. If they get the coins from even half of those accounts they are seeing a great payday.


There is no doubt in my mind they are manipulating the margin order book.

i had never problem there for a year and i am day trader while sniffing arbitrage only but today i got hooked with my all money stuck in their wallets ( NEM XEM ) i know my balance will show evendually but the problem here if it solved after there is a big dump ... there is no right for asking but we are all know their support is sucks... i dunno how much day i have to wait and what will be to my account balance ... 100k to 10k or 1M ... its a real strungle here without any clue

i thought yobit is also the one who has a bad exchange? but i think hes not alone because there were also complaints about poloniex. ive never used polo before but i think polo isnt a scam or a bad exchange because majority of the reviews i heard about it is verry good. polo is a good and popular exchange and he is also the number one competitor of bittrex. so overall , i would disagree to the statement above that says polo is a scam.

Sometimes people get surprised when I tell them that polo was the number one exchange back then. Who would've thought that they would end up as a shady site and garbage now? I'm just glad that I withdraw my coins a long time ago so they can't prevent me from doing it sooner.

I never had a problem with Poloniex although they did have some glitches before with their site. And I think most traders know every exchange site has some schemes for their site to make money. But with Poloniex, I think there were a lot of good traders who pulled out their investment with this site, it was because it became worse when the trollbox was taken out and a lot of issues occured but not ponzi schemes.

I never had a problem with the Poloniex exchange and most of the cases i used to trade daily in Poloniex only but now i am into Poloniex because there are many rumours about this exchange circulating in the forums. Never faced any problems while withdrawing my coin and for depositing, but many people are complaining about those and they need to improve their support system in order to attract again.

They are improving after circle buys ... My problem solved in 2 hours and support member added me on skype now if i face with another problem he said that i can call him and he will help me in future directly. No need to open ticket for me anymore.. That was the best thing happened on me with foreign exchanges i fell i have a inside man ^^

many investors are tempted by huge profits without realizing they are already in the ponzi trap..

Hello, help me solve the problem! I do not give Poloniex 100 ETH for 2 months. You wrote that you have a man with Circle, his skype!

Never before had I thought of such an exchange as Poloniex. It is a pity of course that this happened with this berg. But in fact, not all exchanges are good now

Yup, pulling out the trollbox was he worst thing they could have possibly done. The mods on there helped alot of people out and gave the place a good name.

there are too many people that shouting that one coin will to the moon or the coin will dump too hard so it will make people getting panic. I remember that this happens when the trollbox still there. but now, I think the poloniex reducing the power because many big traders move out to the other exchange like bittrex and cryptopia or hitbtc. but so far, I don't have any problem with poloniex and I could still make withdraw and deposit my coin in the poloniex.

I always answer many technical issues in polo. I'm always out of a minute of getting in is the thing that always happens to me. I still do not know why many investors go to polo from bittrex that I have not encountered any problems since then.
It's really to separate from polo and transfer all your coins to bittrex or cryptopia. I use their exchange not too often but it is very explicit.

Poloniex is scam !

My account is frozen one month now.

They asked for my identity papers and verification.
I sent them a dozen times.
NO RESPONSE!

I opened 3 weeks ago ticket.
NO RESPONSE!

Im afraid I have lost my savings on poloniex.

BE AWARE... THEY SCAM A LOT!!

Add your ticket number in this thread.

My morning coffee is not what it used to be without having polo to throw a margin move in. :(

I need a alternative place, any recommendations?

my friend told me that should post more questions in troll box for admin and mod.Amazing,they solved my case right after i posted annoucements.What the hell is this ?

Trollbox shut down over a year ago now, it was a great place to get help and the beginning of the end on Polo.

They were a good company a couple of years ago but they just  got bought out by Goldman Sachs linked company  so it all down hill from here .I am lucky i have no major money on there 200-300 dollars at most   

Poloniex support team is awful!
I have been a legacy user with 2000$ withdrawal limit... Afterall Poloniex froze my account without a chance to withdraw... I want to notice I made my intentions clear before deadline (Circle issue)...

Poloniex ignored their promises, their official statements, their art.17 of User Agreement.. And now they are ignoring me as their customer... So awfully inequitable situation it is...

Dear users, good ones, help me please to spread the word..

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/9j6hts/poloniex_support_team_is_awful/

You should keep fighting. Poloniex didn't compensate my money, after hack in 2014. They were trying to persuade me that they gave my money partly....

then I've got my personal issues and can not keep typing to support anymore...

someone who decided to trade on Poloniex keep in your mind that whatever happens they ll find the way to get rid of you

They are always doing some shit.
I don`t believe them, because all the money are stolen.

I don't have a problem with Poloniex, but I did trade there. so far I feel comfortable, but now I hear a lot about this exchange having a bad reputation. this is a warning not to do any transactions there.

If it was a popular exchange until mid 2017, I did my first transactions on the poloniex exchange. But later, bad events, attacks were made, It hurt a lot of people.

I decided not mess with Poloniex and closed my account. My patience has run up finally when I couldnt withdraw my money for two months!

[deleted]

Never had an issue with them. Used Polo since week one in 2014. I know they have caught up on all the ticket backlog from 2017/2018. They were overwhelmed with new business and that killed support for a lot of people for a year I know. A problem most exchanges had at the time. These days they are running smoothly.

I think a lot of the issues from the last year are people using the site from restricted countries and what not. Which seems to be a problem with all the exchanges trying to do KYC legit now...

Just looking forward to them listing more new coins as there don't seem to be many new listings. Waiting for HUC snapshot coins and listing of Xaya Coin (CHI) :PP

I don't know why people are kept complaining about the Poloniex, it is one of the good exchange we are seeing from many days. I have been using these exchanges from many days but never faced any problem because still, i am withdrawing tokens and actively trading in Poloniex without any problem.

There are a lot of threads complaining against Poloniex. So, of course, something fishy is there. I never used it though because of this complaint. Anyway, a research on every complain can make it clear to everyone what they are doing. I was thinking of doing that part but not having the time.

I see a lot of complaints about Poloniex, I used them for a while and had no problems. Every exchange has dissatisfied customers, and as I am convinced, sometimes clients are to blame for creating a problem. But I admit that Poloniex can play a dishonest game.

I haven't used poloniex anymore.
since the loss of my trollbox came out and transferred my assets to bittrex and binance there was more convincing and safe.

Why would you believe on the complaints if you yourself dont even prove that the said exchange was a scam ?  Isnt it better to investigate them first before you also judge them just like what other do ?  We all know that poloniex is a popular and legit exchange  .  maybe the guys that keeps on complaining do only violated some rules or maybe did something wrong while their concern has not yet been resolve but they are panicking instantly  .

Whatever the exchange is and the coins they have, pump and dumps are inevitable. These are parts of trading and people who do these things get off pretty heavy while people who are into their lure suffer loss. Groups might involve bots, the team themselves or a private group doing this scams. If you're a trader, always set a  stop-loss. That's all.

I do not agree with you since this exchange has long been on the market and has a good reputation and I myself have used it more than once and have been satisfied since I have never had any problems.

Each person will have different experiences towards the exchanges but when it comes to me, i never experienced any issue with the poloniex exchange. Still, i am trading some of the coins in the poloniex exchange, of course, now they lost little reputation in the market but in the coming days, they can manage to increase their volumes.

Their golden days are over and it will never go back. They had an ugly history of services and that is the last thing that any business owner would want to get compromised. I also liked polo but not because of their service but only because of their popularity and great volume. There isn't a lot of choice back so imagine the worst that could happen if they still dominate trading.
