Poloniex is up and running but it seems very slow. I cannot even trade. When I made my order, it just stuck up.Are they on DDOS attack again? Hope someone from their staff can explain whats happening.

Yes they are on DDOS attack, i saw the last update on Twitter We've been under continuous DDoS attack
which inevitably affects other areas of operations. We're mitigating as fast as we can.
And I think we just can wait and see until they finish their problem and there are not bad to our coins on there
we hope they don't scam their costumers. Grin

I hope so... Sad

So, poloniex is down? Or they are going to be scam?

Its up right now. Maybe it just went down for few minutes while you were checking, you should wait for some time before accusing them of scam.

I agree with you . Because not as long as a website can run normally. There may be maintenance that requires it. If polo is really experiencing the scam thing will happen a very big bitcoin price drop. we know that polo is one of the major exchange today.

there is a massive scale dumping going on in the altcoin market and that means a lot of orders are being placed and that is a lot of requests to a weak server they have. so they go down a lot these days.

although i have to say i am using their public API to get the charts and i have not experienced any downtime in previous days and i update that thing regularly

they are always down when coin price rises or falls... also, they are saying that they are under DDoS...

Easy buddy, try checking your internet connection if your connection is good, that might be the problem why you are having a hard time accessing or even loging-in Poloniex. Also you may want to use a site tester, it a site that will tell if its just you having trouble reaching that site that you wish to browse or the site is really down for the mean time downforeveryoneorjustme.com

hahaha... lol... you made me laugh... Cheesy
