Hi, I've had the same problem, they are holding 10,000,000 XDN coins of mine, the wallet has been showing temp disabled for months now. I've opened ticket and all have been closed, these coins are currently worth £28,759GBP or $21,914 USD, I messaged XDN about this matter and was told there are Millions of coins and hundreds of poloniex customers that are having the same problem as me, I still open support tickets but just not getting anywhere, I'm not going to give up, XDN advised me to keep opening tickets as some customers have reported that they opened a ticket every day, but had their coins back after 3 months,

I have stayed away from poliniex for a long time ago since almost every withdrawal was pending and they simply do not like to support customers. Moreover, too many whales and bug and shady behaviors which I can not believe why a big exchange can do that to all of us. Currently, I am using bittrex and I feel very comfortable using this trading platform

Very good advice, I will use bittrex from now on. I started to see huge problems with polo ie, when I bought coins and a massive dump came, polo basically froze their system and no one could sell and I also lost because of the frozen system, happens everytime

The real reason people use Polo instead of Bittrex is margin trading. Bittrex doesn't do margin trading. Kraken does but for limited alts, and when the amount they have to lend is gone, you can't do any further margin trading. Bitfinex does offer margin trading, but they're having problems with their banks and you can withdraw or deposit fiat with them.
This is one of the most reason why do people do prefer to choose polo rather than others because of margin trading.I was amazed we do have the same observation because most likely some people do only believe that they use polo because its popular and do on the top. There are lots of issues which polo involved but later on they have been resolved but you will need to wait for a longer period of time.

yes nice advice but if there is some reality about that, because i personally nothing found wrong about them. but now the complaints against them are increasing, i think they need to clarify their position if they do not consider themselves as guilty, otherwise they are losing their position very rapidly.

Really sorry about to hear that my friend. I was trading at Polo since 6 months and i heard many complaints about Polo. I am also using bittrex. After all, i think i will transfer all my money from Polo to Bittrex. If i can transfer of course.
I hope you can take back your money and also thank you for warning us.

Thanks for your words, I hope I get my money back as well :-(

I am starting to hear more stories from other users, someone mentioned polo are doing manual withdrawals on lisk ,I cannot believe that :-(

Sometimes the only way to get a response is go to social media like you are doing and shame therm into it. Send them a ticket with link to this thread. Good luck.

Hey , Good idea I thought about it, then I saw their social media page on facebook and not active at all :-(

Since polo had volumes of some hundred million $ for several btc/altcoin pairs im not trading large amounts on it anymore (if not really necessary).
Imho it is just too suspicious...

Agree with you. There are too many warning signs around Poloniex. I will not be surprised if they go bankrupt in the near future like Cryptsy.com

See what i said earlier ?
There is claims like this on all services.. always have been.
Get it ?

Their exchange volume increase by a factor of 10+... either they are doing fractional reserve or they got a(some) new megawhale(s).

I didnt heard anything about new megawhales on polo so far...
