For the last couple of weeks, i have been trying to warn people about Poloniex. It is about to disappear and this might be the time. If not, next time is not far away. Strangly, people keep using this useless service. Last cointelegraph article seems to be supporting my posts here on Bitcointalk and some other platforms.

I hope bittrex have enough capacity to deal with a lot of new traders.

Can you please explain to me the reasons you have for bittrex? What makes bittrex better than poloniex?

Poloniex has been having problems ever since the number of daily users suddenly soared from 20,000 to about 35,000.

They can't cope, and the sensible thing for people to do is use other exchanges. Most of the coins traded on polo can be found on bittrex. And you can use Kraken to trade stellar and ether, every exchange has litecoin on it, and hitbtc has quite a few alts listed too.

Spread your business around instead of piling onto Polo and then moaning.

I have account on both sites Poloniex and c-cex and so far they earned my trust. I cant recommend a best trading platform but check on the volume of altcoins being traded in each site.The bigger the volume involved,with more traders doing trades, the better the market movement.



.. and the bigger the risk to get attacked ...

1. Traded on exchange operating from a shed.
2. IPO coin (all IPO coins are scams, no exception)
3. Pre-mine
4. Has no limit, which means 1 gazillion Ether can be created, which means it is as usefull as Zimbabwe dollar (actually Zimbabwe dollar has more use)
5. Has no use; nowhere accepted.
6. No decent wallet.
7. No development; just theories.
8. Extremely user-unfriendly.
9. Only used on exchanges.
10. Massive bubble, 1000%+ increase in just a month's time, for no reason whatsoever.
11. Exchange it is mainly traded on has been hacked times before. Very unsafe and unreliable exchange with little history.
12. Ether was promoted via a mass-spam action, which reflects on its community.
13. The coin has no liquidity. If you sold 100 BTC worth of ether, you'd crash the price by around 30%.
14. To continue on the previous point: it only requires 1 tiny whale (in comparison with legitimate cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin) to crash Ether.

Butthurt fool that haven't realised in timely manner Ethereum will be the Bitcoin killer.

1. Poloniex is one of the most reputable exchanges out there
2. That's simply a prejudice
3. Simply not, as far as I know.
4. There is news about Uber-type company using Ethereum dapp.
.... bah.... what I'm I doing here, losing my time on jealous butthurts.

Everything mentioned above are FACTS. Undeniable FACTS. If you deny these facts, it means you are either:

1. Ether troll.
2. Ether shill.
3. Ether scammer.
4. Delusional fool who will get burned by persons belonging to one or more of the previously mentioned 3 categories.

Don't say nobody warned you.

Feel free to copy and paste this message, purely based on facts and absolutely not FUD, whenever and wherever you like Smiley.

Remember when i said before hey i like this guy ? Wink

I just want to add a little..

The launch was quiet and coins moved fast from the IPO with ETH the second it launched.
Some misc users noticed massive huge amounts of coins moving the second it was released
in the millions of dollars worth (when they were worthless / cheapest)
They were moved in giant EQUAL blocks.. suspicious !
Then -after- who ever did all that in a couple days they launched a massive media blitz
targeting this Forum and Coindesk with a HUGE advertisement / Editorial about how it's the future etc.
Which was rather odd considering Coindesk never heard of it and usually stays quiet about stuff like that.
It was coordinated with them obviously..
Since that Launch did not take off and they seen my scam topic and no one was biting they..
WENT INTO HIDING until NOW !
What was going on between 2014 and 2016 ?
Occasionally they posted comments testing the waters here in this Altcoin section asking what we think of it.

Eventually they realized they had to just pump it and spam on about it here.
Which would be a magnet to the crowd here who had reached a new level of scammy greedy desperation.
The timing was perfect.. the scene is tired of coins dropping in value last couple years and massive losses
from supporting scam coins.
So these guys here have been lowering the bar trying to fight the downward spiral buy supporting scam coins even harder
ETH comes along and all anyone can say is look at the profits LIKEOMGBBQ LAMBO'S !! TO THE MOON !! ARISE CHIKUN !!
SOLD !
They all line up and chant like retards.. TAKE MY MONEY NOW !

Since none of these greedy fuckheads care what they support they will of course dive on it balls deep.
All these kidiots and investards do around here is lower the bar more and more.
They actually went back to saying outright blatantly who cares fuck it i want money.
They quit pretending.

The system is broken, the coin is corrupt, ETH is a useless Pyramid scheme IPO token supported
by the same sleazy poisonous shit head greedy faggots we see here.. from poloniex idiots who host shit like ETH
to greedy Lambo braggarts here lying about Microsoft or IBM + ETH

You guys are fucked and i will laugh when you drown..
and lightly use one finger to push you beneath the water line ...with a large grin on my face.  Cool
die my sleazy little scammy faggots.. suffer slowly pricks  Wink

Seems that POLO is undergoing a DDOS attack. There has been huge volume of bitcoin and ether trading there.

Is a DDOS attack likely to increase its vulnerability to be hacked or compromised?
Nope, it can't increase vulnerability to be hacked because DDoS is a distributed sending of various shit garbled messages but they can't get access to the system to change the software it runs, if they bruteforce it or they gain access to, it may increase the probability to get hacked.

1. Traded on exchange operating from a shed.
2. IPO coin (all IPO coins are scams, no exception)
3. Pre-mine
4. Has no limit, which means 1 gazillion Ether can be created, which means it is as usefull as Zimbabwe dollar (actually Zimbabwe dollar has more use)

Yes, agreed, ETH is useless and they advertise that "decentralized platform for building unstoppable applications".
I get it, if it's application platform, is it made to build "currency applications" ?

I don't get its points, what does it mean to normal users, Cryptocurrency geeks, developers, can't they "already" use Bitcoin?
Bitcoin's major platforms and exchanges already have APIs and if they want to keep 'free' (I mean free as in freedom) can't they use bitcoind's RPC? Can someone clarify it for me?


E.g. built your own elephant like coin . ahh  I 'll  go and create a new PonzCoin :-)   sell it for hell

C-cex is a terrible exchange, with an owner who endorsed tens of scam ICOs and also has no volume on legit cryptocurrencies.
