QUESTION TO THE STEEM TEAM WHY HAS THE POLONIEX PROBLEM NOT BEEN FIXED
🐒 THE QUESTION TO THE STEEM TEAM
🐒 Why has the problem at Poloniex not been addressed
🐒 Poloniex not working is adding downward pressure to the Steem price
🐒 Poloniex has been down for the last 11 days with this message
STEEM is currently under maintenance or experiencing wallet/network issues. Deposits and withdrawals will remain disabled until a solution is found, which may require an update from the STEEM team . Any updates must be tested and audited before enabling.
🐒
SUMMARY:
Should this be a top priority to work with Poloniex and get this resolved ???????
🐒 In my opinion this problem is producing a lack of faith by traders to purchase Steem . This needs to be fixed sooner than later
I think so
Should this be a top priority to work with Poloniex and get this resolved?
YES.. Definetly.. Needs to be fixed asap..
Yes this needs to be fixed like now
It is not on the Steem team to fix Poloniex. Many people have reached out to them, but from what I understand they are basically ignoring us. Unfortunately there is little that can be done by anyone other than the Poloniex team.

Thanks for your input @timcliff hopefully then someone will fix this soon
I was a little bit hopeful to see a doji on the daily steem chart form yesterday....
But of course we now have this next ugly red candle. More of the same. Down we go 😔
I'll be adding more STEEM to my steemit account tomorrow and using it to power up if this trend continues. I've been doing quite a bit of this lately.
You do pose an interesting question regarding lack of wallet functionality on poloniex. I don't have an account there--I use bittrex.
Im waiting like i said few days ago, pretty sure it will go under 1.
It's not just poloniex, I have heard other popular exchanges are also not dealing with steem right now. Surely somethings need to be fixed by the steem team, but sadly we get too few updates from our CEO and team.
siddartha is this true? What other exchanges? That's worriesome. Although I think we can still use bloacktrades to move money in and out of steemit.
Well I have heard bittrex, changely, shapeshift are also having issues with steem............
Hi, polo has his own steemit account, check out their wallet : https://steemit.com/@poloniex/transfers
looks like they get nonstop (hourly) steem from changelly :D :D :D
Poloniex is not the best exchange but it is the most widely used one. Their service is terrible but seems to be due to them having too much success. They aren't going to steal from you but you might end up waiting a very long time to get any real support if you ever have issues.
I remember several years ago Poloniex was hacked and lost some customers coins and Poloniex payed back all that was lost Therefore I believe they are good people running Poloniex
You are absolutely right, but they will have to fix this issue soon to avoid loosing customers everyday.
I've heard that they already lost a large portion of their volume over to Bittrex.
Damn that's crazy @timcliff 😲😲😲
Polo negative whale for steem
My (limited) understanding is that this is an issue on the Poloniex end, not a problem requiring a Dev update.
I have also heard it might have to do with some sync'ing issue by design, but I can't elaborate.
It does seem to be creating downward price pressure.
Hopefully if the wheel starts squeaking loud enough someone will fix it
Hopefully it encourages someone to make a better coin exchange
In my opinion this is a smoke screen from Poloniex. No one has problems transfering Steem except them. They have 24 million tokens in their wallet which is almost 10% of the total supply.
Unfortunately other services such as Changelly and Shapeshift use them to execute trades.
Ask yourself this question...If you can transfer Steem to anyone else why can't they?...I say bullshit.
At best they are incompetent.
Very good point @onthewayout
