PSA: Poloniex Borked for STEEM/SBD Deposits or Withdrawals
While the wallets are now up on the front ends both poloniex.com and bittrex.com seem to be having some sort of fails going on with the wallet that process STEEM/SBD transactions.
Be wary of sending to these exchanges at this time until they've confirmed to be working properly again. I was smart the first time and only sent $1 SBD to poloniex but then pulled a dumby assuming bittrex was operational, landing $160 SBD floating somewhere in the 1's & 0's running their operation.
Update while posting, bittrex is now showing maintenance on STEEM/SBD wallets: 
Poloniex is still showing deposit addresses.. However the $1 SBD I sent over there 35 minutes ago as of writing this has not been credited to my account. Wonderful..!
Seems two of our largest exchanges are having issues in tandem. What effect this has on STEEM price and moral I cannot say for certain. The arbitrage opportunity would be sweet if anyone could move their damn STEEM/SBD around... lmao!
Will be checking the winners of the @tippy roll 100000 stress test contest in a few hours, off to go work out some kinks in my bot. Have a great day everyone, STEEM Onwards!

Honestly I just powered up the Steem I was planning to send. No way am I risking hundreds of dollars after my test 2+ steem went amiss and haven't shown up for the past week. Finally Poloniex seems to be working, but again keywords there are "seems to be"..
Gave me a chuckle. Thanks.
Screw Poloniex they sux! Bittrex is much better and they resolve issues much faster. But if you need something to do while they are down how about a contest?

This is what I think of these places:
I love me a little arbitrage :)
I have 21 steem sitting in Poloniex that I can't touch until they respond to the Ticket I filed. Instead I've been using Bittrex and haven't had any issues (knock on wood)
@kyle
Then what about the SBD or STEEM not yet confirmed on these exchanges?
I was hoping for Bittrex will be the dearest exchange for Steem. But...
Lets see what comes...
Thanks for the prompt info
It sits in the exchanges address/account but hasn't been credited to it's rightful owners yet unfortunately.
thanks man for sharing this information this is very useful
No worries man.
Yeah still waiting for Polo deposit about 30 minutes someone new will think its not much faster than BTC to send
now i think bittrex are okay
mhm I withdrawal 100 sbd 4 hours ago - nothing happend till now ._.
Sorry to hear this. I suggest using bittrex or blocktrades if you need to exchange!
