POLONIEX - NO WITHDRAWALS, TAKE CARE

[gluedog]

They have just Approved my litecoin withdrawal after I harassed the mods and told them to escalate my ticket.

Now it's too late to sell the litecoins as the price already reached rock bottom.

Basically lost me a good 30% of all my money.

Nice going Poloniex, nice fucking going. Never using this exchange again.


@Wiid, chill, they will approve it. Don't worry. Apparently they're not exit scamming after all.

Yeah, they're busy being extremely questionable.  They might just be processing withdrawals for small amounts to keep up customer satisfaction and stalling with bigger amounts as much as possible.  They definitely have a big problem anyway, so I'm fleeing to Bittrex.  How much did you withdraw?

51 Litecoins.

I was going to withdraw them to btc-e and sell at higher price (0.0185).

Too fucking late now, I already lost like 30% of their value..

Fuck polo.

Nobody should wait to have their money.

Even more sad is the fact that some people withdraw to timed addreses which require the deposit to be made in max 3-4-5 hours.

So they lose their money.

@Wiid:

Do you have 2factor auth on your account enabled?

Did you, like me, recently change your IP ?

I just enabled 2FA.
And yes, before I withdrawed I logged in with a VPN IP address. I hope this is the reason for that all.

Then this is the issue.

Use 2FA and don't log in with a VPN. They will block your requests... security measure..

Now they'll check your account to make sure nobody hacked into it and is trying to remove 25k usd.

You should keep spamming the moderators politely to escalate your support ticket.

New day and new withdrawal. I withdrew my BCY that is a counterparty asset. again for $7000.  Poloniex in past had lots of problems with counterparty asset. Also since counterparty base on Bitcoin blockchain it also share bitcoins mempool problem.

Got my BCY in my wallet only after 1 hour. 

Seems lots of FUD just because people have no patience

Yes i also received my litecoins man after 36 hours.

Still pissed me off a bit because nowhere do they say that your withdrawals might be withheld for so long.

There should be a big notice when withdrawing to let users know, so they don't fuck shit up like send the money to a timed wallet and lose everything...

Looks like they have security in place in case you a) log in from VPNs or b) withdraw to an address that you haven't withdrawn to before.

I know someone said they tried to withdraw to their polo deposit address - but if you haven't withdrawn to it before, i think they manually verify things.

Also: make sure you check the entire string when you paste your withdrawal addresses - there was a scam a few months ago where these addresses were being overwritten because people had a virus on their computers.

Good News.

After I harrased the Mods in the Shoutbox, they pinged the Support and suddenly I got IMMEDIATE answer. Maybe they understood that I am right before killing myself because of losing my just won 400 BTC.

I already was able to withdraw 2 times my withdrawal limit.

After all, thanks Poloniex for making me rich with stupid Pump and Dump Coins.


I still think, when people having that much money on their site, they should have much better and faster Support. I was so fucking afraid.

I feel pretty stupid now for going mad about this whole thing lol.

[gentlemand]

Considering the track records of crypto exchanges it's perfectly understandable to get your knickers in a twist. Best to allow some time for resolution before running around with your undies on your head screaming.

I'm glad OP got his issues sorted.

[t-maus]

IMPORTANT INFO !!!

While Poloniex changed the rules recently, more or less every user got restrictions on his account.
Mostly withdrawal restrictions, needs approval from someone at Poloniex or like that.
Since then, about a month or more ago, users experience big delays.

If you are in contact with Support, ask about your restrictions. Because as soon as they are lifted, everything goes quick and easy.

By the way, Poloniex Support "responds" in 24h to a ticket, they do not resolve the ticket in that time !!!
Resolving can take much longer eg. 5 days.

cheers

[forzendiablo]

all my withdrawals finally went trough, took them 3-4 days

possibly tehre was some problem but now they are back allright

That's a valid point. I think they just grew too fast. Just 2 months ago, they used to have about 20,000 users online at any given point, but it suddenly surged to about 35,000 users and I don't think they were prepared at all, the engine kept lagging, they kept going offline and they didn't have enough staff. Hopefully they solve all those things.

Glad your stuff got sorted out. In future, spread your trading around several different exchanges - don't keep everything on one exchange, you never know when you might get unlucky.

Dude, I deposited "just" 60 BTCs to Poloniex when BTC was worth 1200 USD per Coin.
That was 75.000 USD, I was prepared to lose them.
Then I looked at STR, thought it could rise in price and invested my Coins into them.

I NEVER expected to have that much money on Poloniex after all, otherwise I would have spread.

[eXpl0sive]

I thought I was the only one having trouble with withdrawals, but looking at this thread I understand it is a general problem with lot of users.

I made 2 withdrawals within last 7 days, both less than 1 BTC. The first one was "Awaiting Approval" for more than 48 hours, but then eventually it was processed. The 2nd one if also "Awaiting Approval" for more than 24 hours now. I hope it gets cleared soon.

You must give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they were very busy and had no time to notify you about the possible delay, also it could be possible they are investigating most withdrawals to avoid hackers to empty accounts that don’t belong to them.

[Millionero]

I am having trouble withdrawing.  Just filed a ticket.
Polo, polo, polo, why?  We used to have such a beautiful relationship.
Now I just want to leave you, but you won't let me.
Actually, if I could, I would imprison you in a dank basement, tied to a chair, and do horrible things to you.  Or maybe just leave you to die there.

I cant make withdrawal from Poloniex. I'm not sure they are PONZI or SCAM.

I searched on twitter "poloniex withdrawal" and i saw hundreds of people have same problem.

Its "Awaiting Approval" for too many days. Support is not working, they dont give my coins back.


POLONEX GIVE MY COINS !

[PROHAN]

[CryptoGrOf]

It has been 10 days and 3 hours since my ticket is "being processed". 2 withdrawals are awaiting approval, what can I do?

[2dogs]

Can't even log in this morning.
WTF?
