And Polo getting crushed for whatever reason is good for Iconomi 

Who knows what could be next biggest exchange. I remember two three years back Polo didn't have the volume that liqui has now.

Polo for all their faults seems pretty decent to me. Fairly fast verification (until tier 4 then slow - still waiting), the few deposits/withdrawals have been quick, they allow you to lend unlike kraken, their platform is pretty clean. Its only been unreliable for maybe 2 hours of the 600 odd used. Cityindex and other "regular market" platforms have just the same issues when vol spikes. 3 weeks after uploading docs to kraken I am still waiting (pre-authorised approval, which allows nothing!). It was under 24 hrs with polo.

The listings/de-listings do seem suspect but are any other exchanges better? Is it just the volume and no. of holders that highlights it?

Basically why the hating on Polo? I am curious.
