Its up right now. Maybe it just went down for few minutes while you were checking, you should wait for some time before accusing them of scam.

Easy buddy, try checking your internet connection if your connection is good, that might be the problem why you are having a hard time accessing or even loging-in Poloniex. Also you may want to use a site tester, it a site that will tell if its just you having trouble reaching that site that you wish to browse or the site is really down for the mean time downforeveryoneorjustme.com

there is a massive scale dumping going on in the altcoin market and that means a lot of orders are being placed and that is a lot of requests to a weak server they have. so they go down a lot these days.

although i have to say i am using their public API to get the charts and i have not experienced any downtime in previous days and i update that thing regularly

they are always down when coin price rises or falls... also, they are saying that they are under DDoS...

[clickerz]

Poloniex is up and running but it seems very slow. I cannot even trade. When I made my order, it just stuck up.Are they  on DDOS attack again? Hope someone from their staff can explain whats happening.

after struggling for almost 2 hours, I was able to trade a few coins...
and check their twitter: https://twitter.com/Poloniex

We've been under continuous DDoS attack which inevitably affects other areas of operations. We're mitigating as fast as we can.

I agree with you . Because not as long as a website can run normally. There may be maintenance that requires it. If polo is really experiencing the scam thing will happen a very big bitcoin price drop. we know that polo is one of the major exchange today.

Yes they are on DDOS attack, i saw the last update on Twitter We've been under continuous DDoS attack
which inevitably affects other areas of operations. We're mitigating as fast as we can.
And I think we just can wait and see until they finish their problem and there are not bad to our coins on there
we hope they don't scam their costumers.

I hope so...

[udidrone]

it is only DDOS i think Poloniex is not weak as other site that already get DDOS attack. so no need to really worried about it. maybe it disturb us when we want to trade but i think they still safe

I shouldn't worry about it? I lost ~10% in less then an hour. That's not funny.

Also they say it is a ddos attack, but who really knows? They have provided 0 proof of that, and TradingBots were still able to trade as far as i know.

It is so embarassing that we still have this happening on the biggest altcoin exchange. It really shouldn't be possible, people are losing extreme amounts of money due to this.

It was up the entire time, but you just couldn't trade. Trollbox was working just fine, but i think you could only place orders through Api's? not sure. I couldn't place orders at all.

[remedcu]

Well, if they won't improve their server power, they can see a lot of members getting out of their platform.

There were many complaints on their customer support as well, as they take an awful amount of time to check on the documents (Source: Facebook Friends who are big volume traders)

Been using Polo for about a week and a half, there has been 2 DDoS attacks this week, but nothing drastic outside of a bit of lag hear and there. Most of the people crying in the troll box are Newbs, i saw a guy blatantly say he made a mistake and transfered LTC to his BTC wallet, then complained for an hour about how he got his money stolen by Polo. Alot of the stuff in that chatbox is pure comedy i treat it as entertainment.

i'm considering switching to bittrex or kraken, does anyone know if the issues polo has faced in the past 1-2 weeks are also being experienced by these two exchanges?

I agree their servers are really bad and I get that it pisses off people but as long as the volume remains at Poloniex the majority of traders will remain at Poloniex.

[death69]

well, they do have the bad service but the volume is still very high. I think that all those volumes are fake and it can not prove anything. Poloniex is following mt.gox path. Save your money while you still can

I don't think that poloniex will become the new mt. gox. They have been in business for way too long for such a thing to happen. And based on what do you think the volume on Poloniex is fake?
Regardless, you should never keep your full portfolio on an exchange just for security measures.

Is there any way we as users can verify the volume the coins have? I know that they have cold storages of ~100 million, but that's it?

Bittrex is quite stable, but their market volume compared to poloniex is nothing, however they do have a lot more coins listed.

If bittrex had as many users as poloniex, it would probably also lagg out like crazy.

[alamin99]

What do you think about hitbtc? I am planning to shift there. Without the volume, it's better than poloniex. Trading is very smooth there.

[arpon11]

Treat you people are creating about poloniex this day is just to create panic for those using the nice trading platform of poloniex and by so doing create problem for poloniex customers. Every system includes USA military Internet installation need upgrade time to time and that is what their doings currently.

[Sled]

So, poloniex is down? Or they are going to be scam?

They are not going to be scam because they are just experiencing a lot of ddos and also a lot of additional volume of users to their site and its making their site lag because of the huge demand and website user from the different parts of the world.

[freedomno1]

Poloniex works but they are cheap as Fu on the servers which causes significant lag time on peak load.
It also really burns a position whenever the servers crash and the price dumps or rises and people get margin burned or position locked ...

They're not.

Bittrex is a much better exchange than Poloniex - decent trading volume, running for longer, more coins, etc.

Poloniex's activity is extremely suspicious - slow withdrawals; downtime only when a coin pumps; "DDoS attacks" which don't let us trade but do make the coin get dumped in the middle of it, and more.

[JanpriX]

So, poloniex is down? Or they are going to be scam?

I don't know what's really happening to them right now. What we know for sure is that there are so many people who are angry at them right now because of the shitty service that they're providing right now. Many traders lost their money because they couldn't trade in crucial moment especially when a coin is being dumped heavily. They're raking a lot of money from the fees that they're charging us but they couldn't afford to buy hi-end servers.

Anyone else has bitcoins on loan there that still haven't been returned although they should have? (talking about a few hours late, so far)

Yes same here, I've had nothing returned for 19hrs to-date, but I'm not sweating about it at the moment.
However, I've raised a support ticket & will update when I get any response.

Poloniex: they Can’t Support Bitcoin Gold for Now According to Poloniex, the reason for the uncertainty is due to the security and stability of the software remaining unknown as of now. Additionally, it was unable to determine network conditions before BTG launched this week. https://www.bitsonline.com/poloniex-bitcoin-gold-notice/
