All That's Left on My Poloniex
A sprinkle of DASH,
a tangled pair of LTCs,
and an atom of ZEC.
I'm moving on.
(You guys still owe me some Steem Dollars)
(Note: To make it clear, I just migrated my coins elsewhere because the recent Steem transfer delays are becoming unacceptable. I've also read somewhere recently that our current generation wouldn't accept anything less than 5 seconds. That's the point where most of us would begin to terminate business relationships - just out of latency. This has been happening with websites, and I think should seep into token transfer times sometime in the near future. If you think about it, anything longer really doesn't make any sense especially when technologies are advancing)
Same boat here. Got rid of than uneasy feeling. Bliss

Why are you moving away from poloniex? Is there any reason to do so? Where is the safe heaven where you are going to? Are they free of disappointments and failures such as you may have experienced in Polo?
So far Bittrex has been working fine. Although i would like to completely move away from centralised exchanges into decentralised ones. But the volumes for DEXs is a setback at the moment. Give and take, i guess..
Which of the exchanges do you have in mind now?
Im still with Poloniex, but will be moving soon, here's why...
most of all, the reason is as some1 already mentioned - it's becoming a hassle to sell via their interface, it's just to laggy. Between the tick/change of price and you being able to make an order it's several seconds.
btw. I was using them couple of months ago and you could still have open 3 tabs without crashing other (poloniex) tabs, now it's kind of impossible.
They're making great money, but the website is designed and working like the servers would be on 56kbits (im on 200 megs and everything is just blazing fast so it's poloniex). Despite being on nginx (or it's just reverse proxy from cloudflare) it doesnt look like they're load balancing or doing anything else that should be done with a any non-static website that's growing fast.
Now if i compare degradation of services in frame of November to June/July then it's just a tragedy - if it'll continue like that I dont want to think how it will work in couple of months. In the end it's a stupid story - loosing money because they cannot program/admin well enough.
Actually because of that (visible lack of it pros in team) Im afraid to keep anything there when there will be btc forking/splitting etc.
Well, a nice argument. I wish you well. It is just that I have been in bittrex too and I have had course to complain about their service. They added alot of coins now majority of which are shit coin which they pump and dump at will.
I was thinking Polo was pumping and dumping until I saw what has been happening in bittrex lately. Some coin will go like 1000% in split seconds and go back to zero per cent.
Considering the massive number of complaints I hear about Poloniex, I'm surprised anyone still uses them!
I know! I think people were sticking with them due to familiarity and higher volumes. Enough!
I guess some of us just take our time..
polonies offers the most volume, i never had problems with them.
lending trades everything is good.. dont know why everyone is complaining so much and whining
I've also never had any issues personally, but I've seen many that have, so I've reduced my holdings to the bare minimum... Just in case!
We are complaining because we've seen similar patterns before when it came to Mt.gox and Crypsy. There's too many online complaints of stuck/missing deposits/withdrawals emerging and strange behaviour for there not to be something seriously wrong with Poloniex. Either they're not re-investing any of the money they've raised in fees in support staff and servers, or they're selectively scamming and getting ready for the big exit scam. Pick your poison, neither's good.
I've seen multiple times when a coin is being pumped and dumped that the wallets of those coins are under repair.
Good bye Polo and I don't even cry anymore 🙈 Turn around and never look back. Unauthorized withdrawl from who ??? Not me ! My funds just gone and no replies to my complain tickets
Looks like many of us have stuck monies in polo..
I bailed out few weeks ago. Their behaviour reminded me too much of what I experienced at Cryptsy.
Yeah which is why i had to move. Too many warnings from others and it'd be stupid not to budge..
The first sign of lying and bullshit by the exchange is when they like robots ban complaining users in chatroom under FUD excuse like Cryptsy did. They went even further by completely disabling the troll box.
I am certain that they did insider trading and manipulation of XRP price in April. Suddenly it was not possible for me to do trade for hours when the price either suddenly went up a lot or was badly dumped.
I'd like to move too, but my STEEM is locked there, and don't want to sell low there and buy high on bittrex 😭
Yeah I guess there's no choice for Steem atm, lucky i managed to move them out recently. The only thing Poloniex still has going for it is the night-mode user interface that looks good.. but again that's just appearance.
Stupid me, i knew the box getting removed was a bad omen, still kept trading n now @poloniex owes me hundreds of steem...😫
I sent them there to buy LTC 15 days ago and still nothing. Busoni on blow now prolly got all our coins up his nose
But the next best alternative is Bittrex, aren't the fees a little steep though?
Don't trade much at all so its okay :) liqui and bts dex too
POLO really is stincky last weeks! Soo many coins in hold and wallets not really working! While Bittrex is super fast! Also opened an account with Kraken. Still holding most of my trading coins on Polo though. Tested Coinigy as a front-end for trading and that service is very cool! Great analyses tools. Cost some money though, 20$ or so per months; It has integration with many exchanges. One good thig of Polo is the volumes they have; That is my main reason I'm still using it.
But love to figure out what is a good alternative. Any suggestions?
What exchanges are you now using?
I'm not trading often so i'm not really looking around. Only bittrex and liqui at the moment, along with some exchanges for other random coins. Coinigy is awesome, but i've stopped using it since i found that I'm not the kind that will use it often enough. Yeah, if volumes grow in DEXs, that'll be perfect..
Liqui, I have it written down somewhere and still need to try. Thanks for your feedback on that.
I've been using Bittrex for three years now and I've never had an issue. It works great for me.
Thank you for your feedback. Have a Bittrex account. Somehow I dont like the screens to execute minute trading. For breakout trading, Bittrex screens looks fine to me.
I don't trust Poloniex anymore, I moved onto Bittrex. It was the shutting of the trollbox which was a red flag to me. All I will use Poloniex for now is their charts which are quite good, at least until the owner runs off to China.
Yeah they've shutdown the trollbox so there are more people for the support line. Better move would've been to just hire MORE people for support.
