Vlog 153: Watch out with exchanges when sending Steem/SBD. Poloniex is currently broken.
Do not send any Steem or Steem dollars to Poloniex.
They will not be deposited at this time.
I have 50 SBD 'stuck' myself.
Right now an SBD is worth $12 so it's $600. That's a decent sum of money.
I do consider this money gone as I always do with any crypto of which I don't own the private key.
In case the SBD does come back I'll let you know.
Bittrex works but also be careful here. In the past, their wallet has broken down too.
Send small amounts per transaction is what I would recommend.
If you want to buy Steem with your SBD use the internal Markets.
$0.15 SBD = 1 STEEM.
@s3rg3 has written a post about how to do use the internal markets. here.
Update on Steemify
The Beta of the app has been approved but the final version (for in the store) bounced on review. Apple wants us to provide a username and password.
Which is interesting because our app only uses Steem usernames for notifications.
Our dev is in contact with Apple to solve this.
I did make a small video update of the app not long ago.
Here it is if you missed it.
i read before poloniex had some problem too look into dragoua https://steemit.com/steemit/@dragosroua/poloniex-steem-wallet-hacked
so now its better to just use internal market as u said. I hate that in dtube they dont add play button in thumbnail so people will know what this is video not some photo:(
Good suggestion about Dtube. I'll think about ways to make it more clear.
hello I am new and I do not understand much of this help 😵😵
Great brv i do like the layout and it will be a great hit once it hits both the android and ios .Best of luck blockbrothers :)
and thanks for the suggestions about SBD & Steem buddy !
Thanks for the warning I hate how often this seems to be happening especially during critical times once again Poloniex argh! Thank you for sharing @s3rg3 post I was looking for some info on this myself I will go read it now @exyle
I didn't intentionally stay up late but I couldn't sleep for at least a couple of hours after I went to bed, these are crazy times in the crypto world!
Sorry to hear that about your app, I hope it gets out soon. The hole poloniex mess is also annoying, things like this creates distrust in crypto. At least we can enjoy the steem prices :)
Wow!!, well done @blockbrothers, with this video you made @exyle, it really show you guys have really done well on the app. 👍
I can't just wait for the app to be available on store.
You are absolutely right, my friend, I already have a deposit of SBD on Polo for almost two days. By the beginning, I thought that I was the only one and the only problem was with me, but now I see that this is a common problem and it's sad. I hope that everything will be resolved soon! Thanks and look forward to the deposit :)
Yeah, I heard many are having problems.
In the past I have noticed that poloniex seems to process the transfers when the price settles which is quite useless. It's very annoying, as you say, it's currently quite a lot of cash!
It a bucketload of cash. I just see it as the sign of the universe to buy more Steem on the internal exchange :)
Excellent video and well that's true my friend I'm suffering the same right now and I feel your pain. i am big fan of poloniex before so after watching your video yesterday then i decided to check it out by myself and i sent some steem and SBD's to poloniex exchange and shit man i won't able to receive any steem or SBD yet in exchange and neither they gave any reply to my support ticket yet, you are right might be their wallet got broken or some bug and yes nobody knows how much time it takes to get fixed, so i am deciding to leave the poloniex at this time and will use other exchanges, it's nice to hear that beta version of the app has been approved and i hope we soon see steemify becomes available on store, wishing you all the best for all of your future endeavors! my friend, Stay blessed.
I have the same problem. I'm waiting for money from Polonix for the second day
