Is Poloniex down for everyone. I was logged in about 10 min ago but cant connect now. No mention of any problems on twitter.

Yup, it's down for me as well.  I also use a bot to trade with and the API is returning errors so this looks like a pretty significant outage.  Let's see how quickly they can turn it around, but some communication would be nice.

Polo is down and support is suck, i emailed them 4 months ago and problem did not fix

Typical. I havnt used polo in months and was on 5 of 6 confirms of a Bcash deposit and it decides to crash.

It is working fine for me, that said there is nothing new about the outages. I'd advice to move your trading elsewhere. Their support has to be the worst ever!

It works well, I am just using it, but the server not that stable these day, I think Poloniex should update it. Poloniex has been exceeded by many new exchanges, biniance typically.

Yes, the polonex fell for all. I think it is suspicious, given recent events. I have been told polo is a skam.

Not for me. I logged successfully without any problem and all went smoothly.
There should be something wrong with your connection

I leave Poloniex for these kind of issue. Its totally unbearable. Because i have to focus on alt-coins but poloniex issue doesn't allow you to focus on your trades.

yes in half an hour ago, poloniex was down but now I think its should normal again. I think poloniex wants to maintenance to fixed something or there are problem that may happen. but gladly, everything it seems back to normal again. I think its normal if we see the exchanges is down for a moment because they need to maintenance their server so don't be too worried.

Working fine for me atm.

It just started to work again.

I do not go to poloniex anymore. Bittrex is more beautiful and useful.

It was down fro 7 minutes and as soon it went down was tweet on Twitter:

They miscalculated the timing for 3 minutes. Since was back 30% faster.

I completely moved from Polo to Bittrex too.

But Bittrex looks very suspicious lately too.
My ticket is 21 days without attention and many other shady rumors wich really makes me thinking to move to some DEX finally.

Their support are understaffed and overworked tbh

Yeah, its back for me now too. They should at least warn people though. I don't actively trade but if i did this kind of thing would be unbearable

Poloniex was working fine ATM for me but it has been down just a while ago. I don't know why but it seems to me that my internet connection is the one that caused the problem and the same can be said in your case OP. Maybe their servers just had a downtime due to huge traffic being unsustainable for their servers. I hope to see any announcement about this in their twitter page.

Yes Poloniex is down at the moment earlier this time. But I think it came up again. It is ready to use by now.

Down, down and down... This is poloniex. If you don't lose your coins, there is nothing left to worry about it. It is us based exchange  ;)

exit scam

If you have any proof you can submit that,they are earning a very good profit running the site and you think they could run away just like that,they are one of the reputed sites,but for the past one year they are suffering from massive DDOS and they could not handle everything as the site is having a lot of customers ,they have to upgrade or simply remove some coins until they become stable again.

Yes Poloniex was working fine sometime ago but now its looks down might be there are server problem due to huge traffic or it might be in maintainence stage, we hope its resolve all problems and resume as early as possible,also they should do some announcement on twitter sothat people may not afraid.

Expect Poloniex down when bitcoin is in rage. One of the reason why I don't trade there anymore. They  are second worst support just like yobit, the worst one.

Over time things go wrong. I have been very happy with these services recently, but now I can not honestly say whether it will be good for you. I do not advise or advise against. The choice is yours, no one for you will not choose.

They have been taking their sweet ass time alright. Any news on what's going on?

Seems to be up. They blocked my account and suddenly opened. Why, how don't know. Maybe they had to proove the laws of countries or prevent against hacking. Fortunately I had already my funds in my wallets. Will, if I will, only exchange little amounts. Polo was my favorite, but I don't trust them anymore.

Yep I agree. I'm moving out of poloniex all my funds for that reason, in the last time there were a lot of withdrawal issues, slow tickets and so on. I lost some fund during the crapsty case, I don't really want to repeat that experience  :-\

Haha so many people still using Poloniex to trade with it makes me laugh. The whole site and its support system has been receiving heavy criticism from almost an year now and yet trading on a site like that. Consider switching to an exchange without frequent problems and which offers a better customer support.

I'm moved out of poloniex too.... support w/response ... very suspicious :-\

October 10, 2017, 01:29:35 PM : i am still login to my account poloniex. Poloniex down? maybe you're login when they are maintenancing

I used Polo for years. It was a great exchange. I hope they get past this rough spot.

it has been down the whole day. I'm getting worried!!

Not down why do you say like that this a link tweets (https://twitter.com/Poloniex/status/917725266981670912) ,I just login and see my balance is still there

Got this situation about 1 month ago, but this time it's fine for me. I've just logged successfully, all went smoothly.

is working for me as well, but this is not the first time that happend

Server may have huge load because people are trading more because of hardfork some people are buying altcoin because of the fear of hardfork bitcoin price crash . some people selling altcoin and getting bitcoin and keeping it in private key holding wallets.
