Going on 16 hours withdrawal from Poloniex to BTER...anyone else having similar issues?
I have now sent support tickets to both exchanges
Yes. There was bug with payment IDs for a while. See this post from hitBTC for some info.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7987831It really sucks to have money in limbo. I do too.
Yesterday I decided to do an arbitrage from Poloniex to Hitbtc. It could be effective: there is a price difference between two exchanges + hitbtc has 0% fees. But I could not withdraw money fast enough from poloniex, so lost time and could not do what I set out to. I'll try again later, hope they'll be no such issues this time.
Anyone planning to arbitrage on any exchanges should have plenty of BTC and their coin of choice on the exchanges ahead of time, surely?
Seeing an arbitrage and waiting on a transfer before you can execute, is like seeing a sexy girl in a club and waiting for the DJ to play a slow jam before making your move... what you think you're the only guy in the room with eyes?! Whilst you wait eyeing her up, some other guy will walk over, run some game and end up dry-humping her to some dubstep and you're left cursing (with umpteen others) the fact that slow jams came on too late.
PS - isn't life too short to arbitrage?
Hi! It is not the first time I've done it. I usually use Kraken for BTC.
I already got acquainted with some other exchanges.
Hitbtc and Poloniex are new for me. I chose them cuz Poloniex is the most popular with XMR and Hitbtc has 0% fees now.
Btw I'm now familiar with both of them (poloniex interface is not so straightforward and fast, but it is ok)
I do not need any suggestions for what I need to do, I just try to share my opinion with everyone. I have never had any problems with BTC transactions before. I'm new to XMR and every day I try to promote my skills.
Thanks to community for support.
I have some BTC to spend on an arbitrage strategy.
And yes. Life is too short for everything, not only for arbitrage. Maybe we have to live it more efficiently?
