Can anyone help? I'm trying to do a small ICO exchange sending XCR from Poloniex. First I got an error saying the return address is invalid. If I understand correctly, I must initialize the Poloniex address by sending it some XCR. So I thought I would send some XCR to my empty Crypti wallet so I could send it back to myself at Poloniex. But the Poloniex withdrawal has been saying PENDING for about an hour now. I asked Poloniex if they were aware of a problem with XCR withdrawals and they said maybe there's a problem with the blockchain. Can anyone offer some guidance? Thanks in advance.
Ok, I emailed Poloniex support and then magically my withdrawal went through. Anyway, so now my Poloniex return address is valid for ICO exchange. But now I have a new question. The ICO instructions say I must enter my Crypti passphrase. So I need to supply a Crypti passphrase even if I'm sending from Poloniex? That doesn't sound right. Any clarification would be appreciated.
You can't use Poloniex address. Basically ICO site has a functionality of Lisk wallet. So what you actually do is access you wallet through ICO site and send coins from it to ICO address. Obviously you cannot use Poloniex address since you don't have a pass phrase to access it. What you need to do is withdraw your XCR to you own wallet and then enter the ICO.
Here's Crypti web wallet provided by Lisk team:
https://cryptiwallet.lisk.io/Was wondering the same thing, i'm guessing i need a designated XCR wallet due to the need of "return address"...
Is that correct?
Not necessarily. You can also generate a deposit address on Poloniex and use that. However this address needs to have a public key, and it only gets this by sending at least 1 small TX to it. If you PM me your address I can send you a small amount and initialise this account, once I find the time.
I can't deposit Crypti to ICO. "Return address is not a valid Crypti address".
I tried wallet address and my poloniex deposit address.
The account needs to have at least 1 incoming transaction. Write me the address via PM and I will do it once I have the time.
Don't use your Polo address, as it is not actually an address you posses and if the funds will actually return Polo wont link it with you and you'll have to contact them.
If you use your deposit address all is fine. This refund address is only for the case that ShapeShift isn't working. Not if you want a XCR refund later, there we will use the address you sent the XCR from.
