Why not use poloniex!! Be careful people!

[Vladdy]

This was my first exchange when I started with time I discovered more and more exchanges like Kraken and Bitstamp where you can trade crypto assets for fiat and it is much better for stability to my opinion. And with time I discovered another way of trading on decentralized exchanges like iDEX, EtherDelta which gives more power over your assets and recently I got to DexAge exchange which caught my eye with its transparency and ease and possibility to trade crypto to fiat as well. Right now I'm stick to decentralization.

We don't actually know the founder and location of Poloniex.
Poloniex  controls all private keys to the wallets holding your cryptocurrencies.
Switching to decentralized exchanges is necessary. Besides the aforementioned DexAge, I know that this year Binance will launch its own decentralized exchange.

Poloniex is useful at the past and lot of people like it but some issue's being made from poloniex to scammed those people's innocent in trading platforms but be aware before entering in other exchanges.

In my opinion, poloniex is one big fraud. Why? I already explain.
I have a polonax account for 3 years there was never a problem sometimes delays in payments or withdrawals, but what happened to me was a catastrophe.
I would like to emphasize that my account is verified with a personal ID !!.

A week ago, my 2fa went down and I decided to remove it using the Poloniex Support. A simple thing, create a query and wait patiently.
To my surprise, after the first ticket, it was closed after 40 minutes so I decided to write why then again it was closed without an answer.
After one week and after 20 tickets, I did not receive a response and the funds on my account are frozen without the possibility of logging in by a faulty 2fa.

Of course I have 16 digital conds to install google authenticator on another phone but it does not help.


And so I was robbed of the savings that I accumulated for 5 years. So tomorrow I go to the lawyer and to solve the problem. I will inform you about the progress on a regular basis.
Below I put the screenshot as evidence of idiotic behavior of help poloniex.

So sad that you have a bad experience using Poloniex, 5 years ago poloniex is one of the top 10 exchange at the coinmarketcap then after a years  goes by this exchange all of a sudden faced an issues about the same experienced which you've encountered it before. By that I decided to withdraw all my altcoins into poloniex due to its not good if I will remain in the platform.

[BitcoinTurk]

As someone who stepped into this sector in 2014, I would like to start by noting that I have not used Poloniex once. Especially in 2015 I saw so many complaints about Poloniex that keeping my money here was always a scary activity for me. Also, to keep in mind the various problems of this stock market, I do not want to finish my message without mentioning the fact that I always use alternative services to this stock market. I have not used this service for 5 years, I do not intend to use it.

[Ave_Maximus]

~snip~
any exchange service is without these issues. just find some with good reviews, f.e. changenow or any other

Do you mean ChangeNOW.io? do you want to promote this exchanger?
is there good evidence about ChangeNow?
it's better to research first before posting
ChangeNow.io (Evercode Lab) - Scam. Illegally holding of 100 BCH (11 bitcoins).

to promote and to recommend is a different thing. I don't want to promote (there will be no gain for me), but I can just recommend it, as it's user. that topic is a scam, I followed it for a long time, he got a refund.

Oh my bad about "to promote and to recommend", I'm sorry
even though they have returned the funds, it will not be able to ensure the incident recurs
where is the good review as you said before?

on trustpilot, there are a lot of positive reviews there

[Bagaji]

Waoo!! What pathetic situation for holding you funds for that long period of time. I think this is my first time of hearing something bad about poloniex exchange because I have been using poloniex exchange for a long time period without any issue though I don't keep much funds with them anyway. Can you let the house know the latest about your issue?

Poloniex was the main exchange to trade altcoins till they messed up and Bittrex took over their spot. Funny thing is that Bittrex then became the biggest exchange for a while, and lost its status the exact way Poloniex did.

I remember when Ethereum was up and coming with Poloniex generating 100K BTC volumes on a daily basis from that coin alone! The previous Poloniex owners made insane profits, plus sold the exchange itself for $400 million.

Binance is the exchange you want to deal with right now as newbie and veteran crypto trader. It's the first time that I have seen an altcoin exchange manage to maintain its position as top exchange for such a long period of time.

[asyakashi]

I have long heard negative issues about this exchange. since then I have gone and have not dared to trade there.
don't look for problems, all of this starts with a small problem and gets bigger.

[rodel caling]

I'll check that issue i use poloniex before since i was very active in trading  poloniex is one of the safest and friendly easy to use in trading with fast buy sell coins transaction.

I wonder if polo resolved his situation here. Also, I've been a user of polo for years already and never encountered any hiccups whatsoever up until now. Maybe, he got his coins already? No updates from him yet?

I am glad I stopped using Poloniex at the right time. To be honest, I started my trading on Poloniex and fortunately I didn't encounter any issues until the last trade on Poloniex.
It was around 2-3 years back and it is after that the exchange got hacked. Since the incident, I never dared to open the exchange again 

[kakonhat]

This is a very very bad experience. I used poloniex but I didn't feel comfortable when I used that so I quit for that exchange a long time ago. Now I am thinking I took a good decision by quitting the poloniex.

Since the OP is not updating the thread it might be because he got his problem resolved and he does not want to spend time about it further, if not he would have updated already about the issue. Poloniex does have an issue with the delay in customer care response and when I had an withdrawal issue it took more than two weeks to get it resolved, since there are other sites I just moved on with it.

[manggis97]

I have verified account of Poloniex since 2016 and I did use if for 2 years because I'm out from trading,  and I was use it again last month and everything look normal and better. Although the trading volume decrease but they added more new coin. Poloniex is fully regulated  exchange is USA so I don't think they are fraud.

[Question123]

One of the safest trading site yes but we can prevent problems or erros that the traders experienced. Other people did not use for trading poloniex anymore because they experienced some errors or some problems but it's their choice that they did not want to trade we have freedom to choose where we can trade our money and our coins to those exchnages site ourthink is safe.

I used Poloniex once without any issues, but I didn’t like it because of poor customer support. It didn’t fit me also due to the confusing interface. Currently, I stick to Cex (https://cex.io) and I never had any problem neither with their customer support nor with authorization. The exchange has appropriate certificates and Fincen registration that speaks for its legality. So, maybe you should switch from Poloniex to another platform like I did?
