So is it a clogged up bitcoin blockchain?

Right now over 223,000 unconfirmed transactions: https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

So if they are processing 8.5 transactions a second then that means it would take around 7 hours to get through those. Not 3 days. Hmmm

I pulled all my money from Poloniex and the reason is they log me out as soon as I log in I was getting logged out multiple times per day and just got sick of them. So no more Poloniex for me I might go back in in a few months if they fix whatever is going on. Anyway that is my take on them!

I asked 3 days ago to transfer .48 bitcoins and I'm still Awaiting Approval. Anyone else? This is making me nervous that they took my bitcoin.

Not looking good for Polo right about now.

did you received your coins from poloniex?? or still awaiting approval??

Oh.. Thanks for the update.

I couldnt access their website a few minutes ago.

Maybe you should familiarize yourself with BitShares distributed exchange and think about safe parking at least part of your funds.

The problems with customers funds on centralized exchanges are everyday the same story. IMO not worth risking my money.

they're the new mtgox

Waiting for an approval for 6 days now, no response on support tickets. guess they are busy ><

Awaiting withdrawals for 8days straight, contacted support centre and getting to reply every single day and still no replies

I am in a very similar situation. No replies in the ticket and my ethereum transactions (2 transactions actually) are in Awaiting for Approval status. Does someone have an experience with that? How many weeks typically one needs to wait before that? The amazing thing is that I wanted to buy some other crypto with ethereum and now this is obsolete as this crypto increased so much in value that it doesn't make sense for me to buy it with ethereum. Which means that I lost money because of this exchange. If they release my money I will never be going back to poloniex.
