No trollbox on Poloniex - The grass is green again for alts - Free Lamborghini

in #bitcoin8 years ago

In a sudden move Poloniex exchange shut down it's famous troll box and issued the following statement:

To meet the increasing demands on support staff, the Trollbox has been disabled indefinitely and moderators have been reallocated to assist in support.

Many trolls are looking for a home now, maybe Bittrex will open one who knows.

It seems altcoins are breaking the rules with Bitcoin moves, it's true we do see a bloodbath every now and then with a bitcoin sudden gain, but the effect is becoming less and less damaging, in fact Alts are quick to gain those losses within a day or two.

STEEM which made a nice move on the market even at the time of the bloodbath was no surprise, as I mentioned a few days ago, STEEM compared to vaporware AMP was greatly undervalued. Some altcoins did not appreciate enough during this altcoin increase in market share, Steem ETC and Maid, were three such projects and now they are catching up.



I found this meme on imageflip

We need the Steemit community to unite to keep the momentum going. @klye is giving away baby lambo's starting next year:

Next year if my net worth is over 2.5 million I'll buy you a baby lambo pfunk.

I just hope they are not manufactured with MS Paint.

Sort:  

I have to admit I miss it already. The end of Bitmark?

Http://altcointrollbox.com 🤔🤔
I created this one ☝️ if you've been missing a troll box 📦 mostly for fun but wouldn't mind seeing it fill up

Good for you. This was a gap needing filling. Did you do an [ANN] post on BitcoinTalk.org?

Lol we must be many to miss it because I also made my own trollbox https://www.trollbox.fr/
Featuring live uncensored chat and live data from Poloniex!
No registration, no ads, no tracking.

There is the exchange called https://hitbtc.com/exchange that has their own TrollBox. Maybe not as entertaining as Polo's troll box but I wouldnt be surprised if more people move to that exchange because of the chat feature. Also I noticed polo is working a lot better without the Troll Box taking up most of the processing speed on the website

Trollbox to the moon!

Bitmark to the moon!

I heard he was also handing out chlamydia under his own brand "Klyemydia". :D

Dang, I could use a lambo rite now.

This is entirely true.

Lmao! RIP Poloniex trollbox.. Been banned from their chat for a well over a year now for insighting riots and pasting MS-paint dicks... Ahhh to be young again.

If my net worth is > 2.5 Million I will have to buy @pfunk a little Lambo.. Lets hope this happens. :D

I was trying to be second in line for the free lambo offer :D

Poloniex going down, killing public boxes is always one of the steps!

Are you joking? I kind of rely on your hunches :)

Absolutely not. The number one request in the trollbox was for the mods to provide support. To that request, they always replied that they didn't have access to the support resources. With the traffic that Polo has now, it's almost purely support related in there and hourly bans. You can't even read it anymore.

I know all that, but ive also called their trouble 3-4 weeks ago and me and some people took out all money out of there.
Time will tell how this ends but you been warned.

Of course i hope im wrong but better to be safe than sorry

So you are not. Took out some more money. Thanks!

I seriously hope that's not the case. I am against one exchange having huge market share, and happy Bittrex is doing much better now, but I do not want to see an exchange go down completely.

i do hope your right on that

poloniex going down would be like a massive fail for bitcoin and cryptocurrency! poloniex has too much at stake to allow that to happen!
This isnt mt gox in japan, this is a delaware based corporation, and when I ran the numbers a month or two ago poloniex was making like 200,000 dollars a day ad im sure they are now making alot more probably closer to 1 million a day and so theyre getting close to making a billion dollars in profits a year ann in crypto mostly bitcoin and it would be wise if poloniex spliit up into many different exchanges like one for bitcoin one for ethereum one for monero and one for USDtether

@kingscrown You will make huge alarm with this comment :D

i dunno if you can leap to that conclusion lol
Only big fear i have with poloniex is the government trying to shut them down an seizing all the coins!
I guess its just a good idea to have many coins spread out in many places on top of having some on a hardware wallet

Then that means https://hitbtc.com/exchange will begin to get more traffic since they have their own TrollBox

Poloniex is starting to act like the government, they disable wallets for no reasons, blatantly refuse to process withdrawal and orders are processed on their time, especially when these coins are making a move. I notice they have been targeting certain altcoins, especially those base on CryptoNote technology, in fact, there are two altcoins, where my deposits are pending and can't even do a withdrawal. I see this as a deliberate attempt to control the volume of certain altcoins, someone needs to call them out. They love one CryptoNote coin in particular and you see how much they promote it. Someone please call them out, let the free market work, get their hands out and let the market reward and take away

Thats why they got rid of trolllbox. Everyone was leaking this info during influx of new users

they disable wallets for no reasons

Umm... they disable wallets becuase people (like me) withdrew coins which never arrived, then escalated several support tickets to complain and ask where my coins are, their only choice to mitigate these issues were to disable these wallets, its been nearly a month now and I still cannot find my coins even though the wallet has been up and down several times in the interim. They grew way too fast and have not built up a functional support team to deal with the amount of issues associated with that kind of growth, the trollbox was a bad move for them to begin with, I mean newcomers would actually take advice from the trollbox. lol

What was the point in a trollbox, was it just for people to speculate?

It was filled with hype, FUD, pumping, and even some really good news if you looked hard enough. I'm going to miss it T.T

That trollbox cost me money when I first joined 3 moths ago :smile: Divided feelings I have to say!

troll box made me all my money! I asked them what was best altcoin with best technology and they told me Siacoin was a great cooin with bright future, and i looked it up, bought over 30,000 siacoinfor like five bucks it turned into five hundred bucks,

There are the best and the worst ideas there. It's a gamble! :D

The Trollbox being removed would have absolutely nothing in common with Polo going down or otherwise. It's a smart move - should have been done months ago!

I'm so glad they did away with the trollbox. I think taking a step away from the ridiculous immaturity there is a good step for the larger community.

TBH I did enjoy the trollbox, I was asking @bittrex-bill to add one the other day. I know it's crazy, but it's funny at the same time. Also getting yourself banned once in a while is great :D

I guess I just wonder how "professionals" and people outside the community are going to want to be involved with people like that as the outward facing image. I mean yes it's fun, but if it's in the way of scalability...?

Yes people from outside the crypto community will not be able to see the troll box the same way we do. You are right with that.

I can totally appreciate what you're saying, though, don't get me wrong.
