The structures and staffing of exchanges has always been poor. And each one should be suspect. Its been 48 hrs and I dont have an answer on my "error" withdrawals

Screen grab of the last test withdrawals failing

Now, last week I had noticed something that was shady. Staff had suggested that every withdrawal is manually processed after you confirm the withdrawal from your email. Isnt that an odd way to handle the sending of BTC? I mean since day one we had (and still have faucets) that make the payments automatically. I had been skeptical of Poloniex so I signed up just to test it out. They failed. I had to troll them for 4 days to get them to approve a withdrawal. Now, that started happening with Cryptsy when they didnt have the money to actually make the withdrawals. Just like when there are runs on banks. Delay the withdrawal any way possible. Now I get errors. For 7 years Ive never had a completed transaction not appear and be listed by an independent source as having an error.

I`ve never had any issue with poloniex in 1 year, excepting the lag. Your "test" operations may be rejected just because they are barely over fee amount of 0.0001 and maybe poloniex is spammed with dust transactions, in and out, so they must have installed a filter for dust. And I always withdraw to the same addresses, maybe thats a factor too. Anyway, I avoid sending exotic alts between exchanges, just BTC, ETH, LTC when possible.

Regarding the trollbox, I think it`s a bit concerning its demise and I trully understand the "industry growth" speach, but without doubt they`re making nice money with latest volumes so, they can afford to hire/outsource personnel.

With over 50K online users at peak time, the trollbox was overwhelmed and unusable, a change was due, perhaps splitting the trollbox on different channels and hire/enroll more moderators.

I liked the trollbox, despite all the spam, shills and abusers, it was a good way to take the "pulse of the street", with skeptcisism.

For now, I`ve joined Trollbox on telegram.
