[ANN][EXCHANGE] Poloniex - Crypto Exchange with BTC/NXT

[cdrx]

37  days and still not receiving my siacoins... processing (level 2 verified).

[.cryptic.]

People are very frustrating service. A lot of advice don't use Poloniex. Support team does not answer even after many days, it's so bad. Poloniex needs to improve the situation. I'm not using it now but hope it better.

I dont know what exactly is happening with poloniex. I have already moved all my funds out of there as I am not going to take anymore risk with them.

[hackbyte]

Yip .... if risky or just unprofessional .. i don't longer care about them.

The last few litecoin are now on withdrawal, 'Awaiting Approval' as usual, i think they will at least take 2 or more weeks to get that done .. but well..... its just a few pennies, most of my holdings are out there since few weeks..

Code:

Estimated value of holdings: $16.39 USD / 0.00376723 BTC

That's still way to much to hold over there.

But it just some Doge coins and some Stellar .. i let them just 'work for me' in lending ... i do not expect to gain really much with that anyways (except doge will make a new high maybe).

I can not recommend poloniex to anyone actually ..... which is _really sad_.

Not that it's much better then Bittrex.

[hackbyte]

Heh .. dunno.....

I don't have to much over there at bittrex ... but at least, they doubled my few btc satoshis to bch, they gave mey xlm ..... oh _and_ i got my account reactivated after i did not use it for years, opened a ticket and waited for ... mhm 2 weeks or so ....

So ... yah, dunno.

Watch you funds ... regardless where you have them. 8-)

It's like, all these exchange owners, operators and CEOs are like banksters.

Except, they are not so strict regulated by law .... and they don't get big government bailouts but if one get's robbed (hacked or whatever), if we want some sort of bailout, whe have to pay it by ourself......

I think it's call "exit strategy".   They got rid of the moderators (and chat box) to eliminate the instant communications.   From what I gather I don't think anyone is getting any support tickets answered.  I know I have one that's been open for 48 days with no response.  I've got all coins moved off of Poloniex except the 6,000 stuck in the forever 'Processing' which is what the ticket is open for.  At this point I guessing I'll just be writing it off like everyone else will be doing because their coins are stuck in a withdrawl.   

Does it strike anyone as odd how the deposits to Poloniex always seem to make it there but the withdrawals get magically stuck and mysteriously the support staff (if there are any left) don't ever get around to working on them?

Have you replied to that ticket (48 days pending) after creating it?

[BigWolf]

Have you replied to that ticket (48 days pending) after creating it?

6 times.   but I'm not sure if replying to it helps it or puts it back at the end of the queue.

[Retired]

That's actually why I asked. If their system is not clever enough, it will sort by last update by default which means you're putting your ticket at the end of the queue.

I think, you don't need to just reply but actually click on the update button on the right side too....

At least, that's what i got from the howto i linked in this thread a few posts back....

Good luck!

Ah well........ business as usual over there...

Still no LTC payout for a day, next (new) support ticket:
#408874 Again "Awaiting_Approval" for LTC withdraw

And the waiting game starts again.

Hacky

P.s.: At least, it's only a hand full of bucks and not a lot of bucks with the last few holdings i have there....

[Retired]

If you're not withdrawing millions, why are withdrawals waiting approval?

[hackbyte]

Heh yeah ........ this question thrives me around too..

It's just ridiculous few 0.03367774 LTC .. and they anyways still play their game....

I am concerned. I have some of coins in Poloniex right now (RIC/BTC/Ripple/Monero), but when i first signed up it did not let me choose my country, so I could not verify my account because the country field was blocked out, email to support - no response after a week, still.

Created a new account, choose my country, submitted all docs for verification, linked my old one and now waiting for verification to be done.

Problem is i can not transfer out ANY coins because it say it will go over my limit, which is 0 because their site is bugged and their support don't answer tickets.....

So much for my first venture into crypto trading.

As i'm still watching what they do, and what not .... i found this interesting site about poloniex.. IMHO you should take a look and if you fit in the presented cases, join that train:

https://suepoloniex.today/


I found that link within another thread about poploniex behaving shady as fsck.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1942358.0

Watch out and try to leave not to much of your money over there, it's not a really safe place in these days.

Edit: P.s.: This link may be helpfull too: http://stevegrundy.blogspot.de/2017/06/poloniex-customer-service-how-to-get.html

I would question that site, https://suepoloniex.today/ any law firm / lawyer with a good reputation would provide their info on that site . the contact us form provides 0 data about who you are contacting, the domain is hidden behind domainbyproxy. I would say use with caution. Seems who ever made the site is scared about Poloniex finding out about who they are.


Note, as of Aug 18th someone is posting on their twitter

This is what it says on Poliniex front page:


"Your funds are yours. Period.
Any funds you put into the exchange are only used to facilitate trading through your account. Unlike banks, we do not operate on fractional reserves."

As long as you have complied with the terms of service, are not under the age of 18 and not from a country where the US has an trade embargo then you would have a legal case for joining a class action against POLONIEX

I was in full compliance with the terms of service and followed all of the withdrawal limit rules, so if they don't give my coins back then I will be joining the class action against them.

I do not think the arbitration clause will be Enforceable under the law unless POLONIEX can prove that the delays were indeed result of technical difficulties.

This would seem extremely unlikely if withdrawals are delayed for more than 90 days so if it can be demonstrated to a court that POLONIEX was negligent, insolvent or even deliberately holding back withdrawals then it would probably render the entire terms of service agreement invalid.

I am not a legal expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I do know enough about contracts law to determine when a clause is likely to become unenforcable.
