After I read about lots of people who are having troubles to get their coins out of Poloniex I was getting serious about this after Poloniex was giving out the informations that they will stop their service for US customers starting from 1st November 2019 and another "friend of crypto" asked me if I have problems with "Poloniex", too.
I answered: No, but I can test it. ... what happened in the last hours while the test is shocking.

Well, I still had an account with Poloniex (Verified for up to 25.000 USD daily withdrawal) but never 2FA activated.
Everything should work in a perfect way. Why not? I am full verified.
I logged in my account with the typical security questions. Started the withdrawal for ETH and a dust of XMR both mined myself (all together just about USD 2100+).
Like always the security mail arrived. You have to click the link. You have to review the transaction details and then finally accept the transaction with a last click. I finished this together with a good friend, while we were watching thru some more documents of another datacenter project which will come up in 2020.

Everything was running like normal with my transaction, but suddenly an email arrived that for security reasons my transactions are canceled. What? Why?
I have to withdraw to a known crypto address used before to withdraw or I have to log in with a known IP address  

I am fully verified and I choosed how the auth is working, while my email is already special secured!
I was not amused about that and asked them in a strict email to react now or I will maybe loose money. Of course this happened, because I was going to swap the coins to "somehwere" else and now the price is back in the sky (bad for me to buy in).
After more then 2 hours they got another email from me with a bit of "hard words", but still fitting to their behavior. They were able to answer just in time. Aha? A normal request will get a low priority and they dont give a shit about you as customer? That was a salty taste to the shit taste already in my mouth  

I answered them that I cannot serve the old BTC address (and wont for security reasons!) and I have an ISP with a dynamic ip address from time to time my IP will change.  
Now they said and forced me to use the APP. Well, I refused this and was asking why all this problems. I am a customer with full verification!
Anyways, the APP was allready installed. I started and logged in. Even if they try to scam me, they cannot. My security email is not the email on my mobile
Going thru the next step and suddenly my account was BASIC and not veryfied anymore!? They just canceld my state. Wow! THAT IS SCAMMING and no longer an accident! My full account is disabled; even my funds are not visible any longer. Well, I have all proofs here even if they try
I now have to upload them again all ID cards and a personal pictures.

After several tries the system had many problems to get my files.
Not that the verification was not working; it was even not possible to finish it (1 of 3 tries failed with an error message).
I sent them my passport plus picture. After 15 minutes it got declined.
I sent them my ID card (back and front, fresh scanned) plus picture. Again my verification got rejected. (and of course I followed all instructions in the right way!)

With the last email I am asking them not any longer as customer; but as a representative of the international press - with my digital press id card attached. (of course I can take a picture with me and all cards in a row - fresh from today; but that is not allowed like Poloniex is saying!)
 
And I am not asking them any longer about "my money", but why I am reading and hearing those problems in the last weeks/month more often about Poloniex? That is now my question and for all circumstances I do this questions now PUBLIC!
Why people, who registered in the past as wallet users and who are sometimes fully verified like me, are not getting their coins?
Why gets a verification state of 25.000 USD per day (activated last year) rejected, when you try to payout all your remaining coins? Never exchanged anything for real and just using the service as wallet user without any bank transactions?
I never had USDT, USD or anything. Just a wallet service for me.

They will just answer you, if you use profane language and they are not doing any real service. In this case the answer was in my box after minutes. Wow, what a professional support this is! I am really scared and shocked. Is this the level of support someone should provide for customers who are giving you important values?

I have a feeling like with BTCe/WEX in the past. Cold and Dark! And it started with such "small problems". Then the behavior got more and more strange! (like now) ... and the end of the story ... everyone knows or lets say "we all mastered to forgot it".
Is Poloniex in trouble?  

Good thing: With Wex I lost 25.000 USD; but with Poloniex I really dont care this time. My friend (Attorney in U.S.) already has an email what are the next steps, like you can see my english is just good enough to tell you this warning.

This is a warning at least about the customer service of Poloniex that is not longer working in a right way; and about all the behavior and rules they came up with.
But if you see the facts, it could be all by chance, but the circumstantials are adding up:

- Canceling the transaction with bad reasons, no support answers or actions.
- Deleting the state of a full verified customer, after this customer is complaining about the transaction issues and sending the LAST REMINDER.
- Not answering the customer questions, not helping the customer or just if you escalate it you will get a useless answer.
- Giving commands, like using the APP, which is not working
- Dont let the verification process happening again; not with an official passport, not with the official ID card and even not with my official international press ID card I even could enter war zones!
- Plus the official news that Poloniex will leave the US market / Circle on 1st November 2019.
- And finally not answering or entering the task of how to compensate the customers for their loosing.

Maybe you can withdraw small amounts, a %-ratio of your total or a share without a problem, only?
Maybe you can use Poloniex as normal - who knows?
But better be carefull a bit and try to get more informed about them right now and what is happening.
While they asked you all privacy informations you will have fake names like "Luna" without a family name in the support center.

The angel seems maybe to transform into a fallen angel.

I am not very active any more. All my projects are running (well, not the one with the fire ... but dont let us talk about that ...)
I am "fine" and "full".  Those USD 2.100 are not hitting me, but I felt a responsibility to inform this community first about the "state of Poloniex" at least today.

I can proof my whole story at any time ...

Hello friends,

what happened tonight surprised me a lot. It is well known that crypto is very volatile and can grow by 20% in just a few hours. But the breakout of tonight was insane and I can not understand it. Thats why I like to start a discussion in which the causes and effects are discussed exactly. The BTC price was sky rocking in about 16h hours from 7400$ to 10400$ and with the BTC price almost all Altcoins were following the rally. In fact, the total crypto market capitalization increased from 206 billion Dollar to 262 billion Dollar!! More precisly,  56 billion dollars in 19h pumped into the crypto market !!



This is totally amazing and of course there are some questions:

- Where does the money come from? From institutions and banks? From large investors?

- Why do nearly all Altcoins quickly increase at the same time?

- On which exchanges can be trade so much money in such a short time?

- Who knows about such breakouts before?

- etc ...



In addition, BTC was in a downtrend before 24h and close to a DeathCross. The resistance was very strong and yet my short-possition was blown up like a nuclear war star and totally shredded. Of course everything is possible, but it is incredibly impressive how much money flows into the market in such a short time and apparently everything at the same time and with nearly all Altcoins.

I would be pleased if we put the reason for the understanding of the mechanisms in this thread exactly together.



Now I need to get some sleep to get a clear head again .. Thanks for answers!!

I won't waste your time retelling the latest news about Libra and how it became non-welcomed among politics, banks, etc.
There's also TON project, which seems more acceptable among society, exchange platforms, communities, etc.

Comparing the feedback — while Gram is 'delighted to be listed' by different exchanges (quote from here), Libra's just... 'not money' (quote from here).
So, could you explain, what's the difference between Libra and Gram and is there future for Gram coin?

Bitcoin just made a sudden or abrupt rise hours ago and it reached more than $10,000 before settling at around $9000 as of the moment. Now, I am actually so excited and happy for this development as I also have some Bitcoin hidden somewhere. However, i am a little worried that this very volatile move can be bringing some damage to its overall reputation as a store of value and a future global currency.

Is my concern really valid in the face of this ongoing development?

Right now the market situation is not so much to make any predictions but can do some experiment at our own risk by investing into altcoin.

But if we have to try something different by investing into a new altcoin which has caliber to perform well rather than investing on a reputed altcoins like Ethereum.  Kindly suggest which would be the best altcoin to invest which is under $1.

Me again. I've worked in the Bounty industry for almost two years now and wanted to share some tips on how bounty hunters can earn higher rewards from bounty campaigns! This post pertains more specifically to content creation bounties like writing Articles or creating YouTube videos.

1) Before starting any type of work, review the project's whitepaper/website/blog posts.
==> If you are serious enough about wanting to create a high quality piece of work, you need to understand the content you are creating. This should be common sense, but you'd be surprised.

2) Join the project's Telegram group and ask questions, and/or resources to use.
==> I can't reiterate enough how important and valuable it is to join the project's Telegram group. Telegram is a direct link to the project's team members where you can ask them anything you want. This is very rare outside of the crypto-space so you need to take advantage of this as much as possible!

So, to be more specific about this, I highly recommend asking as many questions as necessary about the project until you fully understand the key aspects and how everything works. Not only will this help you create more accurate and valuable content, but it will also make you standout in the community. The more engaged you are in the community and with the team, the higher chance of receiving higher rewards!

Lastly, ask the team for any resources that you'd like to use in your content creation. For example, ask for any videos, images, or logos. These resources will make your content much more professional and reputable.

3) Don't even think about plagiarizing or paraphrasing any existing content.
==> This is the biggest red flag that will reduce your rewards drastically, if not disqualify you from receiving anything at all. There is no value in producing something that already has been produced. You should read and check to see what has already been created for that project, however, you shouldn't copy any of it. Instead, try to further clarify anything that left you confused or expand on any topic that you think should be expanded on.

Hope this helps! Let me know your thoughts or feedback and feel free to ask any questions you may have below!

Does anybody uses Brave? If so can you tell me how and when BAT token distribution for it's users is rumored to appear?

Publish0x has recently added BAT to their platform, this means now you can earn BAT for creating content as well as tipping other articles. It is a free way to earn crypto without having to invest or mine them.

They already have 3 other established tokens on their platform and I see this as a big boost for the platform, they already have over 14,000 signups and i see them overtaking Steemit in the amount of users and content created on their platform. You can read about it on the link below. You can also sign up through the article as well and start earning crypto.

https://www.publish0x.com/bat-fans/bat-token-integrated-tipping-publish0x-xooyrg?a=GELe3POa69

Would love to hear what you think about the project and what potential it has, do you think it will overtake Steemit?

I am a dreamer and one of my dreams is to see bitcoin being mainstreamed into our society but it is very hard because of government intervention and other aspects. But we are not alone in our fight towards the adoption of bitcoin to all countries and I do salute some of the politicians who share our thought about the advantage of using bitcoin to our society.  According to an article on coinbase.com here are 7 politicians who were in support to bitcoin and blockchain:

1. Jared Polis
2. Dan Elder
3. George Galloway
4. Andrew Hemingway
5. Gulnar Hasnain
6. Rand Paul
7. Rick Perry

If you have more information that can add to this list feel free to comment.

With most of the past two days spent below $8k bitcoin price has been looking extremely bearish. A big bounce in late trading on Sunday, however, sent BTC back above resistance to top out at $8,300. Altcoins are also having a green Monday as the bears are kept at bay for now.

Hello guys,

could you please help me to better understand Facebook coming coin project?
I am interested in these topics.

1. Libra and Globalcoin is just the different name for the same Facebook coin?
2. Now on 18th of June Facebook want to reveal the Libra (Globalcoin) project, but the coins will not be in sale? The lunch/sale is planned for the beginning of 2020?
3. Do you know how it will be possible to buy Facebook coins? Will this coin be listed on marketplaces like Bitstamp, Kraken ... or will it be possible just via Facebook apps?
4. Will the price be somehow regulated by Facebook or will it be fully open as other cryptocurrencies?

thanks

Stilicho
