Poloniex down

[Hypocritus]

Power outage

I don't understand why polo can't at least post that on some media. So everyone knows.

You are right (beyond to-the-cubed power) to wonder.

Polo has a HUGE problem, and I am a personal witness to that.

There probably embarrassed they don't have a backup generator.

They certainly do not have a backup (m)Anything(s)

I love how "coins are decentralized" always shoots you in the foot.

Coins are decentralized, exchanges are centralized, because they are private markets (not all of them are centralized though).
You have some problem in understanding this simple concept?

Thanks for sharing. Some has problems with Polo. But I haven't had any problem so far. Except those downs lately

We all have the same problems. Im too nervous about this when I didnt read about this article but after I read this it relieves me somehow. thanks for sharing

1)
Is anyone able to construct a reliable timeline for how long they have been  down?

2)
Can those in the immediate poloniex geographical location post when power is backup?

They've been having alot of issues lately.  Glad I got my coins out in time. Thoughts are with those who haven't hopefully it all ends up okay.

[yonton]

I'm on polo right now trading as usual. Oh and by the way. NEM is about to 2 times if you haven't noticed lol

This question is very very relevant.
And yes yonton...some of us don't have reservoirs of funds enough to stop being "scaredy pants".

BTM team hasn't had contact either to get their network issues flag status removed from Poloniex if I've understood correctly...

I think the "good scenario" is that they are just flooded with tickers that they haven't been through the stack to even read yours.

I know it's not a good thing at all, but on the other hand, can anyone even imagine how many support tickers they've accumulated during last few months? Himalayas.

Yes...you make a valid point...but even that is something they should be posting on all available media themselves.

I completely agree with you there.
Poloniex used to be very upfront with their issues, which was imo big reason why people loved it so much.

But isn't that how all small David's eventually evolve into Goliath's in business... Well, almost all.

It would be great to have a more "vulnerable" response from them for a change.
But again, I still give them the Himalayas pass. Can't imagine the stress.

Personally I'm not a fan of entertaining hostile opinions based on unknowns until proven otherwise.
Observing the comments on twitter I consider to be in proud minority  

Certainly an opportunity to diversify either way to many of us including myself.
I'll give the benefit of the doubt, but it doesn't mean one has to be fool at the same time.

Good luck to everyone!

Site seems busy, but I just did a withdrawal. 

[sinner]

down again.. this is lookin bad.. how does polo still have so much volume?

[Amevalentine]

Site is up now

It still down when i checked just now.
Twitter status said it is Connectivity Issues
Since many people using polo and millions money deposit there
there is no reason polo got critical server problems, they should have team who able managing this kind, incredible

[Hypocritus]

Oh god, do you think they might go permanently offline? I still have a lot of coins on this exchange!!

Think no more "coins"

Think now "coffins".

If you get into Polo again, I recommend moving from there and not looking back. I have been "stupid" enough to go back again and again.


My recommendation is to get your coins out now and don't look back until Poloniex has demonstrated a long history of customer satisfaction. This is advice from the largest monthly FLDC producer, me.

I cannot write the way I have felt being at their mercy for days and days, until, by the grace of the god APolo, they address my problem.

[Hypocritus]

They seem to be up right now, but you might have to try a few times.

Get your stuff out now.

Poloniex is down again at the time of this writing. So sad this is happening. I wonder where they spend all the trading fees they take from us.
