Hey !

I've been writing a security review for poloniex those last few days.
Sorry for my poor english

Hello guys, just wanted to bring this up. Everyone knows Polo is the largest Altcoin exchange in the world. They have been seeing huge volumes lately over 300-500 million USD. This is highly dangerous as there might be a hack anytime.

Please be careful everyone!

Laughing at people with STR  
Well, Polo has millions, and the site still crash when the price start dropping  
Remember why the trollbox is there guys. Much talking on temp tollbox, less complaint on forums, which are persistant 
Still waiting for my bounties from polo tho

The most curious thing is that even with all that volume they still can't seem to afford servers that don't lag.

That "paper" is atleast 5-6 months old and it has been disproved many times.
Not sure what's up with those polo fud campaigns.

You don't pristine servers like that overnight no matter how much money you throw at it. They have however been improving substantially, but I think they were ultimately a victim of their own success. Too many new people and spam bots etc

I definitely don't see the big lags now that happened in previous months, not in nearly at the same level. They also need to plan for even the most extreme circumstances, if their user numbers double/triple again and there is a big push.

do you think it's possible "whales" are using ddos attacks to make sure they are the only ones trading for a moment?

I'm not affiliated with any exchance or anyone that might be interested in a "fud" campaign.
I wonder where you see my paper has been disproved ? Except from the reddit post "Poloniex is secure", which is to be considered carrefully because from Poloniex itself, I can't find any other.
So basically, to answer your question, there is no such fud campaings, only truths.
