in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

TODAY/ YESTERDAY:

--

Our friend here @teamsteem had a very strong warning to all of us here, he does not want to see anyone hurt - he has a good heart -- he warned people like others have done to NOT USE POLONIEX for any Steem or SBD transfers right now:


Please Resteem this post!! Help others also! They are your family.


On top of yesterday's warnings we gave you in a post very late last nite (EST which I have included again here today to spread word, the last 24 hours, Poloniex has now also disabled Ethereum wallets!!!!

See here in the bottom R. of this screenshot - that I have highlited over in green by my cursor and below that, I have pasted their NOTICE on this word for word!! :

NOTICES:

Due to ongoing network instability, we've disabled Ethereum deposits/withdrawals. We'll enable once we know the network is functioning properly.

I use and have regularly used Poloniex charts as an example, at times, for graphic purposes but here is what @teamsteem said in the comments section of my post earlier tonight. I edited that post as it was important to him and I like him - he is a good guy!!

Neither of us, nor others -- want anyone new to crypto or who have been in crypto awhile to get hurt and if you like -- please go look at my wallet and see that I have $500 SBD sitting at Poloniex myself -- that money is my SteemFest money to get to Portugal.

I am writing this warning, with the words and blessing of @teamsteem, showing you that we can all be a TEAM - Together Everyone Achieves More! - That we can and should care about each other - and I am working with him to show you--- Steemit family this and we care.


If anyone here does not want you hurt, it is people like me and @teamsteem who have money sitting at Poloniex, I have $500 SBD there and almost as much - so does @teamsteem !!


You can see from my wallet screenshot, I am backing up what I am saying...... my SBD deposit to Poloniex was sent, nearly 12 hours ago, and it is NOT in my Polo wallet!! (Today, June 22nd ~ 12 noon or so)


Poloniex is the biggest exchange going - most people know their name and logo and charts, it was for a graphic illustration only! That's why I use their charts much of the time - people recognize them but man, do they have a lot of problems these days, the news has been everywhere for months, my friends!

I've sent 490 SBD 23 hours ago to @poloniex and I haven't received them. I've triple check my memo code and opened up a ticket to @poloniex to let them know. I also seen a lot of Steemian in the last hours to days who talked about the similar situation.

@barrydutton as soon as you see my comment, correct your title so that it tell people not to sent SBD to Poloniex. Also make a clear warning that it might be the same for Steem as I've also seen people mentioning that the same happened to them in regard to sending Steem to poloniex.

I will remove my flag when you do so and I might even replace it with an upvote.


Thanks for reading, have a nice day.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.

For what it's worth, I've never had any issues with Poloniex withdrawals, and I've been moving large amounts of XRP and BTC around in the last couple of days. The only complaint I have is that the site has been running a little slow for a few weeks now.

Followed.

Thanks for the input.

Remember steamians, always have a few platforms in which you buy and sell your cryptos on. Platforms are not always the same and fluctuate in selling price. They are also always changing their fees to transfer cryptos.

Remember, "A penny saved, is a penny earned"....DO YOUR RESEARCH STEEMIANS AND IT WILL PAY OFF.

^^^RESTEEMING POST^^^

Cryptsy, Mt. Gox, etc. + exit scam tumblers, markets, buy exchanges/trades and the list goes on. Poloniex is huge, just the values of their wallets speak loud and clear. It's fucked how they could care less about the customer though..

They did just drop the trollbox to help with customers tickets....maybe that will help lol

That was WEEKS ago, though. Not any better, it was just propaganda, most people think.

I have been AFK most of the last 2 days again but am home now.

I am loving your support and input a lot and so boom sending you some vote power love, it is still low LOL

Thanks mate I appreciate it! I will keep supporting your page with upvotes and resteems my friend. I am working up my Steem power so I should help your posts out.

It will always be appreciated my man, believe that!

Thank you for the warning to all others. Fortunately I only sent around $4 or so worth towards the exchange. Never appeared, but that made me stop before sending over 400 steem a few hours later. It's funny how the prices look manipulated a bit. I mean hell, disabling Steem, SBD and multiple other coins for days now.. that's suspicious.

I have been AFK most of the last 2 days again but am home now.

I have done 2 posts in 2 days on this, and the amount of people this has helped learn of the issues, or remind them is really a blessing to see and frankly I am glad @teamsteem asked someone to do a post on this issue and that is why he is a beaut.

@avilsd yeah totaly dude most pump & dump happens in poloniex and they do it themself i think they use bots for trading for them
#upvote

That does appear to be part of the .....

speculation on things LOL.

Bad crypto pun, I know!!!

U know whats worst i just got my first big reward and i wana withdraw my sbd to poloniex cause poloniex price is 0.00066btc/sbd and bittrex 0.00056btc/sbd

I understand.

Thanks for checking back in.

I am checking @poloniex daily to see if they have given me access yet to my $500 SBD put in the other day, believe me.

i just exchanged my first big payout from steem from bittrex very dissapointed from poloniex and bittrex for giving such poor rates and some people says use blocktrades 😂😂😂😂 gives 5 times lesser then market rates...lol aint dt much crazy i found sbd and steem pairs in hitbtc also

Keep Steeming man.

You clearly know what you are doing.

probably but the worst they cheat us not allowing fair trades.

i have been expecting the large exchanges to struggle under the new global weight of adoption and transactions during this period. these are mostly technical issues with scaling and stability, but of course it is going to scare traders and seem very suspicious! let's ride this out and take it as a positive sign that cryptos are growing too fast for the existing exchanges. i use bittrex personally.

We had the same problem with sending 50 steem to Poloniex. It wasn't credited yet... It's 5 days ago.. Now we are using openledger or Bittrex

GBM, followed you today.

Thanks again

Thanks and welcome :)

Haven't had trouble from Poloniex yet...but have quite a bit on the exchange - hoping I can retain the value of my holdings when it comes to consolidating to one currency and getting out :(

Omg. How about @blocktrades.us?

I don't think I'm going to use Poloniex at all from now on.

Thanks for the heads up. This isn't affecting any other sites, is it? (bittrex, kraken, etc)

Not today.

I posted a week ago when all the Bittrex STEEM wallets were offline too, but is really has me wondering at times now, what is really going on....

I have been AFK most of the last 2 days again but am home now.

Thanks for that, and please consider resteeming the post to help others. These 2 posts over 2 days have helped a lot of people I noticed!!! I have been encouraged by the comments.

This really sucks, For everyone is the crypto space they where the number 1 exchange for me for well over a year. i really hope they don't close shop with millions in coins/tokens but i keep telling everyone i know to get the coins to their own wallet or another exchange.

My rule is send to exchange get what i need get it off inless it is funds i want to trade with with in the end if i am playing the market i am willing to lose it.
But main thing GET YOUR COINS OFF POLO

I have been AFK most of the last 2 days again but am home now.

You are making good points as usual Sky.

I have been warning about this for a long time. Thank you for reiterating. I am now following you.

Thanks, it just adds up to what I came across yesterday

Boom, this is EXACTLY what our good friend and sharp guy @shayne was talking about, I hope he sees this tag here with the @changelly issues, that continue tied to or linked same time with @poloniex!!!
