If not I learned a really good lesson anyway.

and that is not to use Poloniex?

Yes, let me qualify, Poloniex has had issues for at least three years from what I've been able to research.

I stay away for now... and I will be careful with my coin on exchange wallets, I won't hold a lot of coin on exchanges, even though I had very little in my Poloniex wallet.
