Safe ways to withdraw from Poloniex?

[boioioing]

I am starting to get concerned about the numerous threads about Poloniex withdrawals.
Is there a safe way to withdraw from Poloniex without getting flagged as "suspicious activity".

- Maybe there is a currency that always works?
- I have not started a withdrawal yet.
- I have 2FA on
- I have no further verification (which would take weeks AFAIK)

If we knew the info would be everywhere.

There doesn't seem to be much of a pattern. Perhaps the only thing you could do is keep withdrawal amounts modest. I presume that's the number one reason for freezes, especially if you haven't withdrawn before.

I've been waiting since what feels like forever to get further verification. I'm not putting a penny in until it gets sorted out.

Bittrex upped my verification to 100 BTC within 48 hours a couple of weeks ago.

I am also wondering about this, I am thinking of withdrawing out my bitcoins in small batches like only 10% of my balance at a time but if the amount is less than 1BTC at a time, there will not be any problem. My account is still unverified but have 2fa enabled.

That seems to be the way to go. A friend of mine withdrew about 0.2 BTC today. It went through within 30 minutes.

His account...
- has no 2FA on
- is about 2 Years old
- had withdrawals in the past

The thing is I want to withdraw Ether and the notice about disabled Ether deposits and withdrawals is still on the main page of Poloniex. In my account on the other hand I am able to choose to withdraw Ether.
I think I will try to withdraw a tiny amount of Ether tomorrow to test what happens.

I don't have 2fa and not verified and my cashout always goes smoothly. And I do it by batches so that it won't triggered the alarm lol. Average was minimum BTC.1 and maximum BTC.2.

I think much better to do is to contact the support first and ask how to safely withdraw your funds in poloniex.. before you start withdrawing since many hacking activity happen in poloniex  and im experience of someone who logging in to my account.
Try to contact them and ask what are the ways to prevent flagged when you are withdrawing this is the only thing that we can safely to do before our account get flagged..

Your solution/advice depends on the support's answer, which you won't get even after weeks. If they ever responded to your inquiry, consider yourself lucky. Their support is sleeping all the time, I would wildly guess.

I have made a withdrawal from polo yesterday and got it within few minutes however amount was really small (0.12BTC) and Made another one of similar size today without problem. I don't think polo is delaying any withdrawals, they might have delayed it for unverified accounts when their account limit reached.

The Ether freeze on Poloniex was down to its blockchain grinding to a halt due to ICOs completely swamping it. That's all over now so Ethereum will be just as easily withdrawn as anything else.

I withdrew 0.05 Ether which costed me 0.005 Ether 40 minutes ago. It went right into the Blockchain after executing the transaction.

I noticed in the withdrawal section, that the Level 1 Verification allows a Daily withdrawal limit of $2,000 USD equivalent. Maybe this is what some people run into.

No, definitely not. There are people who have issues with poloniex withdrawals when they are just withdrawing less than $1000. It is obvious to me that poloniex has a lot of liquidity issues and liquidity issues are probably the reason why they decided to selectively delay/scam withdrawals, so that they can gain more time to get new deposits to pay back these old withdrawals. Not sure how the selecting process is done, though, but anyone that holds 0.1 BTC or more in their account seems tobe at risk. See this thread for a guy who hasn't been helped since May: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1942358.0

I'd recommend that you get out of polo when you still can. It's just not worth it, switch to bittrex where there is better customer support. They even removed their iconic trollbox.. Meaning that they want to censor even more stuff on their site, not a good signa t all.

Of corse you are right. I remember the Mt. Gox times and had luck that I was able to withdraw before they went down. After all a Marktplace is no bank. Since I plan to hold in the long term I will withdraw the funds that I want to store.

I made an other 0.5 ETH transaction today. It went also into the blockchain right away.

I used LTC to withdraw all the time, zero problems. And it was not small amounts , all 5+ BTCs. Never waited more than 1-2 minute after confirmation email.

- Account is 2fa.
- 2 years
- Level 2

Is there a safe way to withdraw from Poloniex without getting flagged as "suspicious activity". I do not believe they flagged transactions due to any suspicion but they actually process btc withdrawal as fast as they can.

Their major problems have to do with cryptocoins deposits which they are yet to do anything about and their support takes like God's knows when time to respond.
