[Outdated] (limited) Warning about Poloniex

[mhps]

I’ve just checked: I’m waiting for the withdrawal of NBT to be processed for 20 minutes now, but not for the first time…

yesterday my nbt withdraw took more than 30min to be processed. first time in my memory. just a data point.

1 hour for me

[masterOfDisaster]

Any complaints in the trollbox?
I suppose it would be full of rants if this were a general issue.

[zoro]

I just withdraw some BTC, it took 5 minutes!
way faster than NBT!
very strange

Did some Peercoins. 3 min!

[Hyena]

For the record, I just received the transaction. So that’s good at least.

[masterOfDisaster]

Another one for the record: 6,800 NBT withdrawal from gateway to FLOT address has been processed by Poloniex.
A 1 NBT withdrawal I made for testing later (when I stumbled upon this thread) is still pending.

I also had issues with withdrawal of NBT/NSR off polo since last week taking hours even a day to process from pending very annoying too open tickets for this when normally takes only a few minute
edit:
i just talk too one of the polo mods telling him im still having problems with withdrawals and a lot were having the same wd issues with NBT/NSR he said he would forward the information to support also if anyone as the same issue to open a ticket to resolve this matter faster

FYI I initiated a nsr withdrawal yesterday @ Polo, pending for 8 hours. Sent a ticket, they canceled my withdrawal. Re-initated this morning, still pending

you can ask a mod to cancel they have the power to cancel pending wd I tried some NBT today took me 2 Hours seems to take longer on NSR’s I hope they fix it soon before the buyback needs to withdrawal for burning

[desrever]

it worked eventually

[masterOfDisaster]

That really sounds like low balance on hot wallets - or something else…

I just observed they activated the splitoutputs at 10k … Is that a reccomended settings for an exchange ? cc @sigmike

[masterOfDisaster]

If they want to mint with them, while they hold them…

They will pay more fees with this setting but it’s better for their users (if they intend to mint).

I’ve got a withdrawal on Poloniex of ~400 NBT that’s been “PROCESSING” since Jan 20 (~2 days now).

Going to kick it to support and will update if I hear anything.

[jgeewax]

Opened a support ticket, and they replied back – NBT deposit went through. Looks like all’s going OK on their side.

Poloniex are crooks. They are manipulating the market themselves and they stole $10K from me.

[MaVo]

well, then this is the right place for you because if possible, @jooize is going to take some money from you, too. Nushares is among the biggest crypto scams ever. The “lead architect” told the whole community that he has been hacked 3 times within 3 months and “lost” hundreds of millions of shareholder funds. He apologized as he couldn’t prove that he was hacked and promised that he didn’t take the money himself. Aha, interesting… You should definitely be extremely careful, and @jooize is doing the exact same thing as @Phoenix. Front-running buybacks and stuff. Pays himself a nice load of money every month from shareholder funds, etc.

[k9x9]

Poloniex is manipulating the prices of coins so they can buy/sell at a significant profit on their own exchange. For example, the other day pre-pump LTC was over $1 less at Poloniex than it was anywhere else. After the pump, it was $6 more than it was anywhere else and then dumped down to less than anywhere else. Now while one may suspect that it’s Poloniex, it could be someone else simply doing it via Poloniex. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt until I started watching the order books for Monero the other night. Sell orders were executing at $5-10 above market price. It is literally impossible for anyone to execute those orders except someone working within Poloniex. If a trader could execute his sells at any price at any time, we would all be rich overnight. Put in an order to sell your NXT at $500/ea and you’ll be sipping margaritas on the beach in no time.

• And my withdrawal simply sat in “Pending” status with no response from Poloniex. I then found an article about Poloniex getting hacked a little while back. 12% of BTC was stolen and they took a little out of each customer’s account to cover the loss. He said he had to because he didn’t have the money to cover the loss on his own. That tells us, unequivocally, that he is using that money - customers’ money - for other investments instead of holding it in escrow like he’s legally bound to do.
