The fact is that legacy account holders agreed to very different terms. It is customary (and ethically right) to offer legacy account holders ample notice before those terms change. I appreciate that Poloniex has done that. Bittrex could learn a thing or two in that department.
Agreeing to different terms unfortunately doesn't matter much in a market where exchanges can do anything they want if they feel it's necessary. On another note, the least an exchange in this case should do is to grant legacy account holders more slack, so yes, Poloniex has done a better job than Bittrex in this case. Bittrex has gone in full rampage mode where they just go through all acounts like they mean nothing to them, all to nurse their egos and make themselves comply with regulations at all cost. Poloniex users went to Bittrex to avoid incompetence, but now Bittrex is suffering from the same problems, which is a damn shame.
