Poloniex steem deposits/withdrawals still not sorted!
Anyone know what their issue is?
Is it difficult to sync. a node?! :P
(I'd happily vote for any witness who has tried to reach out to them!)
Was hoping to buy and power-up some more STEEM sometime soon.. ;) (of course, there is Bittrex, but liquidity isn't so good!)
(On the upside, however, i got to post this meme. Another one crossed off my list :P)
Haha...very clever :D
That I am. Lol. How did it turn out? Still having issues? I mostly use bittrex.
Hehe... nice one :D
I bought some on Polo. Then decided I should buy some on bittrex so I could actually withdraw it. So now I have probably bought too much for right now! :)
Yay! Twice the fun! One can never have too much steem. Or steem power.
Haha ... funny/scary when you have a lot of steem power!
Why funny/scary?? I for one am looking forward to having lots and lots of sp! 1. Curation rewards. 2. The joy my upvote will bring to creators of quality content.
More $$ for everyone!
That's the theory and that's why I'm still trying to increase my position slightly... because I'm hoping it's a good investment (and possibly I'm getting a bit addicted to the power of the platform - which isn't a good reason to make decisions!)
But it's still a very risky investment!! And, there could be technical issues, e.g., can it scale with the increasing number of users (I have no idea.)
I was in bitcoin when it lost 80% of its value. Litecoin lost something like 98% of its value in the previous bubble. And STEEM lost something ridiculous last year like 95% of its value (I had some, and it was easily my worst performing asset! :/ ). This was before they dramatically reduced the inflation schedule.
So since I've got around $250k in it at the moment I wouldn't be too overjoyed about loosing 95% of this value! But it's something you have to be prepared for if you invest in crypto (or even shares in regular companies - Nokia springs to mind!)
Anyway, clearly I'm hoping it's a good investment opportunity but as I say anything in this space is still very risky (particularly in the case of SP, because it's completely locked up).
On the other hand, I've been pretty amazed at the amount of extra SP I've earned (I.e., that my position has increased by) in just a few weeks. Something like 1%, just holding SP (the interest you get), posting a couple of memes, and clicking on theupvote button!!! :D I can't really think of an easier job! ;)
Well I kind of already gave up using poloniex, I really dont feel secure using it after in the very day I needed to make a trade the steem and steem dollar wallet was disabled, after that I'm using only bittrex.
do you really think it is still worth to use poloniex ?
great meme...made me laugh. Re: Polo...my thoughts exactly.
I've read that bittrex has a really solid team behind it and it has always worked fine for me. I suggest everyone to give it a try if poloniex isn't working.
I had the same feeling towards the Poloniex, I'm not making any trade yet but I'm afraid it could turn the wallet unavailable while my money is in there, and It could cause it to be lost.
Unless you want to buy pretty large amounts e.g. $50k or more in one go ;) I'd definitely recommend bittrex over poloniex. And anyway buying anything on poloniex right now is pretty pointless since you can't do anything much with it.
Couldn't have put it better!!! :D
Yesterday the liquidity on bittrex was pretty bad but today it was a bit better. Provided you don't need/want to buy large chucks in one go, bittrex is way better anyway!
Yes it's been sorted out. I have seen many people posting on it. But the way people are giving negative review about it, i am planning to shift everything to bittrex.
Yeah, just saw it too.
Plus it was weird, 10 STEEM just randomly appeared in my polo wallet, when it was previously completely empty!
I guess there may have been accounting errors which resulted from the time when stuff wasn't working.
Still, I can't really explain it!
Anyway, sold them immediately for BTC :)
Upvoting for visibility.
Woooo..10 STEEM suddenly appeared?? In that case you are really lucky as i have only heard of people losing in Poloniex.

They suck. someone logged into my account using a Japanese IP address.

Nice to see a post of you. Welcome. What do we have whales or delegates for?
Why dont they go to Mr. poloniex and demand senseful Information and quick solutions. The seemit community is very large and represented by our witnesses. I dont want to blame them, but I wish more support from them.
This issue isn't new, so a few days ago I wrote this:
https://steemit.com/poloniex/@steemit.nemesis/poloniex-please-tell-us-the-year
Having fun with the odds ist the best easing for our pain.
Hi @steemit.nemesis - I like your post. It's way more detailed, whereas this post of mine was actually a bit silly and not directed at the specifics / having a bit of a rant for no good reason! ;)
It's very likely actually that some devs / witnesses have been in touch with poloniex.
Also even if they have had assistance or know what the problem is, it doesn't mean they can instantly fix it. E.g. They might need to completely upgrade their IT infrastructure related to steem in order to cope with recent changes to how the blockchain works, or maybe it's more of a general problem they are having - because several other coins have been temporarily disabled.
As bitshare transfers are also disabled on poloniex, you might be right, because bitshares and steem is based on the same blockchain architectue invented by Dan Larimer.
On the other hand, the problems dont exist on bittrex, neither for steem nor for bitshares.
The fact i complain most is the lack of information. Either they dont give us any information or the given information is wrong. Thats weired.
Agreed.
Thanks for your answer. I hope you are right in the end and we will get back our coins. Meanwhile we have to consider the waiting ime with patience and homour.
It seems to be more places than Ploniex that has issues. OpenLedger reported to have issues with their Steem wallet as well and the option to Deposit/Withdraw both SBD and STEEM is unavailable.
I hope this gets sorted out soon, but rest assured that it's not only Poloniex that has these issues and that means that it will most likely be solved.

Really. I didn't know that. Thanks very much for the info (I think shapeshift as well, recently?)
Would really like to know what the technical issues are though. Hope it's not a fundamental problem with graphene software :/
Do you know if there is there a slack channel or something equivalent where people discuss this type of stuff, hard fork plans, etc?
Will look into voting for you.
Hello, @xaero1
Never I used Poloniex
I use only @blocktraders
Have a great and sunny day
Good one. But actually I found the poloniex troll box to be the most useful thing around to assist trying to make money out of alts. Without it I'm pretty lost, as now I have no idea why something starts rising, and therefore whether to buy in! I really hope they bring it back :)
I found is good to resteem your post
I resteemed it
Many thanks!
You are welcome
I must thank you for your great support
I understand you .. will be difficult for you without poloniex
I hope they bring it back
Thanks for reply and for your support
Wish you a great day
Lol, I had this issue with them as well I know the rates are a bit cheaper there, wrote a mail to them about a week ago still haven't heard back.
Cool. Well done ... I'm lazy so I just posted here instead ;). Upvoted :)
Poloniex why you do this always ?
Haha.... nice :). Cheers!
all we can do is cry as their support also dont reply
Cry, or give up! (Provided you don't have a transaction stuck in the 'ether' :/)
nope hahaha
Their issue is very simple infact. They dont want us to get more cheap steem power under their watch.
Haha.... yeah, either they seem steemit as a competitor - or, they just want all the steem for themeselves :P
HAHAHAHAHA oh god why?
Yes, I want to know this! :)
I also had a drawback with bittrex.
Oh. Interesting.
