It's a freaking steem and not some unstable coin. I don't really know what they are doing, but it sucks.

not some unstable coin

Then why is it unstable like the rest of them?

What is unstable about steem?

@themarkymark Are you trading by Poloniex or have you used Poloniex? I am just wondering how long does it take for them to process frozen accounts.

I don't use Poloniex

Whoop Whoop

Glad its not just me than, i already lost 19 sbd, after many rude tickets with false promises i give up.

Still love bitshares, luckily we will have more and more gateways, forcing them to be competative and give better service.

The most convenient way to store - cold storage! We use Nano Ledger S...

.. but there are other options as well ;-)

My husband @phillip20 used Nano Ledger. Awesome to store some cryptos.

Yeah i have a ledger, at some point you need to sell tho, and what happend is that i sent my steem dollars to openledger-dex on bitshares and just never received them..

this was just before sbd went over 1$ value.

starting to think its very very odd that allot of people lost them around that time to openledger....

they said a couple times they would fix it, and closed the ticket everytime... as solved.

eventualy they said they where too busy and it was stuck on the old gateway.

Couple months later and i still dont have it.
Beware people...

My idea would be that you sell the open.steem for ETH and then buy STEEM with it via Blocktrade.

You've clarrified it well. The most convenient way to keep tokens is in the wallet. No one can get access to it. You can always wait however long for the stock market to be favourable for you inorder to exchange and during this wait the money is safe enough. Just hold on to the private key to your wallet.

I've heard of OpenLedger and I even think of opening an account there. Thankfully I've read your post or I might have regretted it later. But seriously how could an exchange service be THAT bad? Thanks for the info.

Good point. I haven't had many problems with openledger. Id recommend only keeping what you are trading or able to lose on any exchange. Cryptos is the wild wild west right now.

This is a common problem with many Exchanges but OpenLedger not only takes down their wallet frequently, they also misplace funds. I have had to open multiple tickets to ask about where funds disappeared to, typically resolution time is 1-3 weeks.

honestly i am tired of open ledger my self, don't know how many times i have had to open a new account with them. they are so incompetent . They really need to resolve this issue.

There are not that many exchanges for Steem. And in the end, it has to go through an exchange.
From your 3 parts I guess OpenLedger, Bitshares and Poloniex are out of question.
Leaves Bittrex or the high fee blocktrades?

Bittrex for me isn't really a solution with their support taking 3 month to solve a ticket
