Why should it have been seized? It's a legal business for all we can tell. Poloniex has had some issues before, that's why I personally moved my coins away from there months ago... time will tell what happened atm.

Poloniex may be insolvent. At least that's the unconfirmed rumor.

Yes it's down. Can't say for sure what it's going to be, scam or real tech problem but only can hope for it to be up and back again soon. There have already been lots of people complaining of having problems in trading on polo like in deposits and withdrawals so it's really a matter of concern but let's hope for the best

[CryptoXMan]

Is this a BTC-e style of "down"?  or Cryptsy style?

[LeoC]

You guys are nuts, I personally know the guys over at Polo (been to their office).
This is FAR from a scam. In fact, it's already back up and anyone that panic sold on a separate exchange will get royally fucked.

[sinner]

if Polo goes down the whole digital currency market is fucked for a while.. not as bad as Gox in 2014, but still bad.

Well anyway, they have some problems. They were online, but are offline again already. Just saw that they've updated their terms of use, but before I could look it up to see what they've changed, they were offline again.

Isnt it weird they changed their policy about suiing them and now being down as a website ? , hmmm this sounds a little weird

Oh well, I dodged a bullet. Beucase of the Bitcoin Cash thing, I got all of my Bitcoins back to my Bitcoin Core full node wallet. Best decision ever. Feels good to be in control of 100%.

What I was holding was not much, but it was a bit, enough to get some trading going without having to wait for transferring money into my trading account every time I saw a buying opportunity.

Decentralized exchanges can't come soon enough.

Whoosh I took everything off poloniex right before August 1st happened. So glad I did. They will probably come back so don't worry but I'm happy I pulled out.

[IwantToWithdraw]

Gone.

If you still don't see it on poloniex.com, refresh your DNS.

I think it's normal economic cycle.

of course it is weird. if you do not trust poloniex anymore, move your funds away from it. there are lots of exchanges out there, better ones, like bittrex or kraken. better be safe than sorry.

  Actually, it is NOT back up and there are rumors that the domain has been seized by the US government. If this is true, I have a very bad feeling Bitcoin is headed back to under $1,000.
  There is no way after all of the recent drama/FUD that there can be global demand for Bitcoin... at least for a while. I predict a long-term bear market up to 3 years due to all of this.

It's not seized. The whois information changes immediately when a website is seized and that is not the case here. A site seizure is also instantaneous, it doesn't cause "lag" and polo has been in and out. This is a DDOS, BCH implementation issues, or something else. The most likely case is DDOSers upset about the lack of functioning BCH implementation or with the intent to short/buy cheap on other exchanges. FUD FUD FUD.

I predict alts market share to fall further and bitcoin to raise if polo goes down..
