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.
Listings and delistings at Polo bother me. I assume it has to deal with insider trading at Polo. We will have a new exchange in one or two years that should overtake Polo in volume. My guess is that could be a decentralized exchange. Waves platform looks good for trading. May be they add other coins?
I love bittrex as a means of adding coins. Why ICN not on Bittrex? I am sure they would love to add ICN in the future. But I think Jani doesn't want to list on bittrex yet. The GUI of bittrex sucks. If not, they would have been no.1 by now.
