My ETH was locked.
My STEEM is locked and I can't take profit from SBD.

Now I see:
"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."

I'd believe that for any other coin, but STEEM works!. I'm able to post or transfer money in seconds. So why can't you?
Maybe you just can't handle amount of transactions?
Bittrex can handle it, blocktrades can handle it, changelly can handle it.

You check your twitter once a month. Good for you.

Pro Tip: hire few teenagers, they would get things done for you. ;)

I've used @blocktrades for changing my SBD into BTC and it worked like a charm.
I'm also trading so I need a market. For that Poloniex ~~is great~~ was ok, huge volume, many different assets.

Indeed steem network had some issues, it was indicated at steemd, I just don't know if it was severe issue or not

Steem network is fine, otherwise you wouldn't be able to write this :)

I'm not saying "steem did not work", I'm saying "steem had issues"

@cryptomarketer | June 27, 2017, 10:03 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

They keep the volumes under control so the spread gives them profits every time and they don't have to cover losses when BTC and ETH are down...

@punkposts | June 27, 2017, 10:19 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

This is standard.
Try Bittrex

@decentral | June 27, 2017, 3:09 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Thanks, using Bittrex too but much lower volumes, plus no chance for arbitrage when Poloniex is down.

@punkposts | June 27, 2017, 3:11 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Try another exchanges. Im writting post now about it :)

@decentral | June 27, 2017, 7 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

As far as I'm aware, there's no bigger than Bittrex, except Poloniex, so...
Ping me please when you finish your post :) Thanks.

Thanks. Aside from language barrier, Polish sites doesn't trade STEEM.

poloniex scam haha, just look at the prices, each market their own stuff... time for some arbitrage

I think bittrex is still doing fine at the moment and advice that you spared your coins out don't put all in one basket.

@decentral | June 27, 2017, 3:18 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Sure, I'm using it already, but Polo is much bigger.

@tarquinmaine | June 27, 2017, 10:45 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

After not receiving an answer to two support tickets about same issue over several days, I moved my steem off Poloniex to Bittrex via BTC. Just seen the bright yellow warning on Poloniex on the actual trade chart! It wasn't there 7 hours ago, yet Steem/ SBD has been disabled for a week or more. I guess many people are moving out due to previous lack of communication. 7 coins are still disabled.

@decentral | June 27, 2017, 3:47 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Looking at various cases described by Polo users, you never know when they refuse your withdrawal.
They would need a lot of effort to rebuild their reputation. And they need to start that process now.

@yacov | June 27, 2017, 10:50 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

yes, man
the issue with steem is on going since one week
this is really bad ..i was considering passing to another exchange
I have wrote a post about it as well...

I havent used poloniex and bittrexx in a WHILE because of this very thing, especially since my bittrex was hacked into....twice...

but it seems like a few exchanges are having these lock up issues at the moment, its because of the massive panic selling thats going on at the moment

@decentral | June 27, 2017, 3:49 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Someone hacked into your bittrex twice? That's scary. Think about hiring some security advisor to get thing sorted out. Few hours of trainings and you would be much safer.

@moderninvestor | June 27, 2017, 4:27 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Yeah it could be that maybe my password was just too short? im not even sure, but i kept on getting the message that a successful account login had happened and i was like....well... i was definitely asleep during that time, so it wasnt me, and then it happened again 2 days after so it was a bit of a shock

you can always take profit from SBD since there's only 1 pair for SBD in Polo; SBD/BTC. Sell it then you'll have your profit.

As long as I can deposit. But I can't.
Currently over 40% difference between markets.

I use mostly livecoin. There are no problems yet at this exchange.

@decentral | June 27, 2017, 2:40 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

There are no problems with Poloniex as long as there are no problems with Poloniex.
When they are, then you wait for support for a month or two (see their twitter for examples).

@justinwebster | June 27, 2017, 11:32 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Someone i follow said to make sure that the poloniex acount is spelled correctly, according to his post the is a fake poloniex around but his account is spelled poloneix the "e" and the "i" in the name is swapped around. Also according to the post this simple spelling error could cost you your account

Thanks for info, I'm careful when it comes to transfers.

I'm currently using Poloniex but I'm just new in the platform. I need you review, guys. Should I continue using Poloniex or should I switch to other platform? I don't want to risk my investments. Thanks for this post. Really helpful and alarming.

I don't want to spread FUD here. Maybe a bit ;)
Personally I'm not withdrawing all my funds yet.
I'm keeping only as much as I'm able to withdraw within my daily limit.
Not much patience left.

Yeah, poloniex is broke. Coinbase isn't much better. Seek alternatives. I don't see how Poloniex will recover the Public Relations nightmare this has become. So many people are mad.

Too big to fall? Maybe they don't know that it doesn't work that way in the world of cryptocurrencies?

My experience to poloniex is

I deposit my Steem coin to poloniex on 5/6/17

but until now didn't occur in poloniex

I have send ticket(almost everyday) to ask the status

but no reply from them

Is a scam platform

STEEM deposits and withdrawals are currently estimated to resume by 05:00 UTC on July 1st.

Same message appears for SBD

In the meantime (I saw your post just now) they enabled and then disabled it again. Same for various other coins.
