My apologies for venting, but I hope there's some useful discussion somewhere in here.
Some exchanges let you know if a coin is being considered for delisting, so you have a chance to do something about it. But Poloniex just announced 17 coins that are being delisted today, no discussion allowed.
AEON, AUR, BLU, CRYPT, DNS, DRKC, EBT, KEY, LOL, MON, NAS, NTX, PMC, SHOPX, SILK, UTIL, and VOOT.
"Please withdraw your coins by Dec 31st."
Thanks! Luckily I wasn't on Christmas vacation for the next 2 weeks, or I would've come home to find the coins I bought yesterday inaccessible.
If I broke the rules, and they decided to cancel my account, what would they say? "You are no longer allowed to buy or sell coins here, you have 2 weeks to withdraw all your coins" ? Pretty harsh punishment to announce to all their users at the same time. At least it's not ALL the coins, just 15% of the coins they currently offer.
Since I was hodling all 17 of the delisted coins, and some of them are not traded on any other exchanges, I have decided to rethink my altcoin strategy. When I bought little bits of a hundred different coins, I wasn't planning on downloading and backing up a hundred different wallets.
My basic line of thought was: "Everybody wishes they had bought 10,000BTC for a penny apiece. But what good would it have done them? They didn't know cryptocurrency could trade for hundreds of dollars. Instead of waiting for $10,000,000, they would have bought 2 pizzas like everybody else. Since that opportunity is gone, we can learn from it and buy a few dollars worth of lots of different coins, and allow each coin the same 3 or 4 years it took BTC to become valuable. If this hundred million dashcoins is worthless forever, then I'm out $10, which is acceptable risk for a chance at thousands. Or, if you just have to sell your $50 of dogecoins, would it really hurt you to save that last 50 cents worth in case it ever gets a lot bigger?"
But everybody else seems to think the only plan is to buy $100 worth, sell it for $150, and pronounce themselves market gurus. The standard behavior is to treat all altcoins like a scam - not to be avoided, but to be exploited.
Now, I admit that I don't think LOL, EBT, DRKC, or NTX are likely to have big futures as worldwide currencies. But who knows? LOL could be a recognizable brand just as easily as DOGE. Anyway I'm willing to give each one .005btc for a chance, and all it takes is more people like me doing the same to make it happen. Unless the exchanges have too much power over which coins survive and which coins don't.
Unfortunately, all it takes is Poloniex to override all the opinions of everyone who participated. While some of those coins might be nothing special, what about KEY? I think it has more potential than plenty of other coins I could name. But since none of these coins can get very far off the ground without exchanges, and since there aren't many exchanges, the exchanges have become a bottleneck for decentralization. We need more P2P exchange solutions.
I still think Poloniex is the best exchange, but what good is that? Even the best exchange shows with their actions that they see these coins as worthless and only good for 6 months. How much was Bitcoin worth when it was 6 months old? "Well, we gave it a good 6 months, now we need to make room for other coins that are also trash to be discarded after 6 months." If that's all these coins are, why would you ever buy any of them? If these coins are so worthless that they won't consider keeping them listed, why did they sell the same worthless coins to me yesterday?
So I asked these questions at the Poloniex trollbox. They have an XMR market which is great even for coins that trade for under 1satBTC. Why are these being delisted? Can't you move them to XMR for a probationary period?
The mods said the coins have no volume. I pointed out that I've been trading ALL of these coins this month, some of them YESTERDAY. KEY had .3BTC volume yesterday and jumped over 100%, and not all from me. There are several coins with LOWER volume that are not being delisted. Therefore, low volume doesn't get a coin delisted, and increased volume doesn't save it. So why are these coins being delisted?
Then they said it's because these coins don't have active dev teams. I pointed out that they're delisting DNS, which has the dev team at Bitshares, which just printed a billion coins with their snapshot that Poloniex participated in. So having an active dev team doesn't save a coin from being delisted. I also pointed out that some coins have been completely abandoned by the original devs, but those coins continue to thrive and are still traded.
I personally revived the dead Fractalcoin network recently, and I'm just one average person who can't even program and knows nothing about mining. I saw it, bought it, then couldn't get a transaction through. So I rented an X11 rig in Amsterdam or somewhere, I didn't even know how to do that or set up a worker in a pool, but I mined my own transactions and the guy I rented the rig from said he'd had a pending FRAC tx he'd been waiting on for a week. Then multiminers hopped on, I paid a small bounty to 2 people in the trollbox to mine a little, I put up a small buywall for price support, and now it's back on. One person can keep a coin going.
So why are these coins being delisted without a chance?
Then they said it's because there's no community support, and someone from the community can request the coins to be kept on market. I pointed out that I am part of the community of all these coins, and I'm requesting some discussion before they're delisted. The mods said it's already settled, no use talking about it.
Then they said not to worry, the coins could be relisted later. I pointed out that Poloniex has delisted over 100 coins, and never relisted a single one yet. That's when the mods said to stop talking about it or I'll be banned.
So I came here. It was enough that I bought coins yesterday and I'm not allowed to trade them today. But now they also have the centralized authority to keep me from speaking. My solution is to avoid the situation in the future by not giving them that power over me. If I buy another coin there today, they have the power to delist that coin tomorrow. So why should I buy any more coins there?
I opened a support ticket for each of the 17 coins I had a problem with, and after a few hours I see that all of the tickets are gone and nobody ever replied. At least they fixed the coins they said I had to withdraw immediately but didn't have working withdrawals.
Some of my coins aren't traded anywhere else and I can't find a working wallet, so I had 18 hours notice to dump them. I am not happy about that. I have never sold any of my coins for a loss before today, and I've hardly sold any at all. And the only reason I had the 18 hours notice was because I woke up to go to the bathroom at midnight and decided to check Polo real quick before going back to my much-needed sleep. That was 20 hours ago and I haven't been back to sleep yet, because I was canceling over a hundred buy and sell orders that I spent hours and hours structuring, just on those 17 coins. Then I had to start downloading wallets, finding other exchanges, then I had to go to work, which I spend about as many hours at as I've spent at Polo during the past month.
Then I had to look at the 40 little coin certificates I had already printed up as Christmas gifts for friends and family, with little 32X32 color coin logos next to each balance, telling them they're the proud holders of the following cryptocurrencies in the following amounts, just download a wallet (lol) "or sign up at poloniex.com and send me your deposit addresses". .01BTC .1LTC 1.0XMR 10.0VTC 50.0OPAL 100.0CURE etc. etc. all the way up to 1,000,000DSH - impressive, right?
Not that I really want to give away .4BTC at one time, I only had 9BTC total value in my Polo account, but I would be surprised if 10% of the people I gave it to actually sent deposit addresses.
Anyway, I can't give that to people now. No big deal, Poloniex left me 2 or 3 days notice to come up with 40 new Christmas presents. I used an entire color ink cartridge though, so I might film a live coin burn of those Poloniex certificates so I'll get something out of it.

I admit, one thing I like about Poloniex is that they try to keep good coins and not bad coins.
But if these coins were all shit, as you say, then why did they sell them to me yesterday?
Why do they have to delist 17 at the same time, with no advance notice?
If they're trying to get rid of low volume coins and make room, why is CarpeDiem listed on the BTC market at 1 satoshi with 2 trades per week, and it's also listed on XMR?
Also I'm giving my family socks too, with the coins. Alpaca socks. Not really, but I did buy BTC wrapping paper. If you don't think coins are a good gift, I'll be sure not to give you any.

Dont keep your coins on an exchange unless you are exchanging them.
Exchanges are not banks...so you stand to lose everything.

Good advice smoothie, that's why I'm changing my long-term strategy.
I wanted to buy small amounts of all the cheap coins, and I ended up with over 100 coins.
It's not realistic for me to store all those wallets myself for up to 3 years, so I thought Poloniex would be safe with Google 2FA Authenticator and all the rest. But it's not safe from Poloniex and whatever they might do, or if they disappear. I liked their history and the fact that they've survived hard times without running off with people's money.
I did actually have all my coins on sell orders, although mostly at unrealistic prices.
But changing to my new strategy of holding in wallets is taking a while, I've been at it for hours and I still haven't withdrawn half my coins yet.

Buying a million of anything for a dollar is not much of a waste.
There are plenty of coins I would not bother buying, but I decided to stick with Poloniex and hold the coins they offer, since they've obviously done some vetting and avoided the worst coins.
I was wrong, they just have a different selection of shitcoins and even they don't think they'll ever be worth having.
But if any current altcoin still exists 4 years from now, it will be valuable.
And since there's no way to know for sure which ones will survive, I saw it as a superior alternative to a lottery ticket.
Most people will continue choosing the 2 pizzas, and at worst I'll miss a few pizzas and hopefully won't regret it much.

I agree it would be nice if they gave more notice and a longer window for withdrawing. However, I'm sure you can see their point too, if they are not making any money offering a coin pair then they should prune it.
Your Christmas coin presents sounded cool, I'm sorry that effort got sunk.
I don't think holding 100 different coins is really realistic. I don't usually hold a coin unless I'm willing to download its client. I don't think you should be upset that an exchange doesn't want to cover that overhead for you. Smoothie is right on.
Good Luck!

So if you bought a coin and it was delisted tomorrow, you wouldn't care?
I guess it depends on what your plans were.

Polo does clean house occasionally. They will not take your delisted coins. I still have delisted coins there from months ago and they can still be withdrawn. So I do give Polo credit for this.
It just pisses me off to no end when any exchange delists a "good" coin. I'll specify "good" only because the shitcoins should never have been listed in the first place.
Exchanges have to bear the brunt for the current state of altcoin affairs. Had they not listed every Tom,Dick,&Harry's coin that came along maybe the altcoin market would not be as dismal as it is now.
Let's face it. Delisting a coin effectively delivers a death blow to the coin and those investments made by the exchange's customers.

tl;dr all 17 is a serious nudge to "rethink your altcoin strategy" I cannot deny knowing KEY at least as an acronym. Cannot remember ever having touched any of these coins.

I tried to withdraw my Nas coins from there a month or two ago and the blockchain was not moving. I have not even bothered to log back in to check, but it would not surprise me if it's impossible to withdraw Nas. I can understand why they are getting rid of it because since the dev ran away there is no interest left in it.

If they had delisted one coin, I wouldn't be here arguing about one coin. By delisting 17 at one time, with no chance to do anything about it, they've made it an issue of the general future of altcoins and their exchange. What do you do if you've invested in 17 altcoins and they're all losing interest? Do you make any attempt to keep any of your coins alive, or do you just throw it all away? Do you believe that altcoins have any value or future? Poloniex has communicated their position on the issue. From Poloniex support: "I have deleted the transaction and refunded your coins. You are free to make the withdrawal again.
If you receive a complete: error, this withdrawal did not go through. It reported a complete error. A complete error can happen for a number of reasons. Always watch on the bottom of the balances page, sometimes you can resolve this yourself. If not, and it you see this, report it right away.
Additionally, this is actually the one technical issue that our moderators in the trollbox can resolve. You are free to ask them for help, they are very nice. Of course, you are always welcome to create a support ticket, we will be happy to resolve this for you. It's just that the other methods will probably get the issue resolved quicker.
Best regards"My response: "Thank you! As for the moderators, earlier today they told me to stop talking about my support issues in chat or I would be banned. As to always being welcome to create a support ticket, I created one support ticket today for each of the coins I had a problem with, which was about 17 tickets, and all of those tickets appear to have been "resolved" or deleted with no response to me. But I do appreciate you keeping the withdrawals working, I know there are a lot of tickets so I'm thankful for the help."His response: "I am aware how it happened on the trollbox, we have a policy against spam and we must enforce it. The same goes for the help desk, I closed all your tickets because 17 tickets, each for a single delisted coin, is spam too.
We always keep the wallets in sync after delisit for as long as the coin network survive or as long as costumers have funds.
Best regards"My response: "It wasn't for a single delisted coin, it was for 17 delisted coins. If 17 at one time is spam, then Poloniex spammed my money with delistings.
Is 17 tickets too many for you to answer in one day? Imagine if, instead of asking you to answer 17 messages, I asked you to download 17 buggy wallets that take hours to sync, and initiate 17 withdrawals, many of which won't work on the first try if at all. That's what Poloniex has asked me to do.
Since you won't even answer 17 messages when you're getting paid to do it, obviously you wouldn't want to pay over $100 to get 17 jobs dumped on you all at once.
What if you had sent me 17 replies, and then you got in trouble for spamming? That wouldn't make much sense, if you were only replying to the messages I sent you.
So why is it spam when I reply to 17 messages Poloniex sent me?
Is it because customer concerns don't matter and are treated as a nuisance?
I spent over $100 on these 17 coins at Poloniex, much of it within the past 2 days. Now the investment opportunity I was planning on has been yanked away. I sent more than one feature request regarding moving coins to the XMR market, and those were also deleted without responding to me.
So if the customer is always the asshole, just say so. Don't lie and say I'm welcome to create a support ticket, when you're just going to delete it. My $100 is down the drain because one person at Poloniex made an arbitrary decision against my interests and doesn't even care enough to acknowledge my objections or even my existence.
I wish this WAS just spam, because sending spam doesn't cost me $100."

From Poloniex: "I understand you may be frustrated, but there are better ways of communicating than the way you have chosen. We have a policy that have to be enforced.
For example we decided not to delist SILK, we are always open to communication.
If you feel you have any information about any soon to be delisted coin that could make us change our minds please let me know.
Best regards"From me: "Oh, you decided not to delist SILK? Well I already withdrew all my SILK, because you told me to withdraw it immediately, and I was told plainly by moderators that the decision would not change and to stop asking or I would be banned.
Forgive me for doubting your sincerity, but how I could possibly give you any information about a "soon to be delisted coin" when Poloniex doesn't announce which coins are soon to be delisted? All we get is an announcement of 17 immediate delistings at the same time.
24 hours isn't even enough time for me to withdraw all these coins, much less research all 17 of them, contact people in the community, build support for the network, and send 17 support tickets which you will delete without reply. So how exactly am I supposed to "let you know" any information about 17 coins at one time? That's right, I'm not really supposed to and your words are empty.
I understand Poloniex may not put much thought into how many people are adversely affected by their decisions, but there are better ways of communicating than the way you have chosen. I have a limited amount of time and money I can allow you to waste with your nonsense.
"We're delisting 17 of your coins, withdraw them immediately because we're not going to change our minds. You're not allowed to talk about it in chat, send a support ticket. Your support tickets are spam, don't send them. We changed our minds about one of them after you withdrew it, please violate our policy by sending support tickets for the other 16."
Here are some relevant moderator comments from the trollbox, if you care:
