I bought some BTC on Coinbase last night and had it sent to Poloniex.  I know the BTC wallet address was accurate.  Its still pending 11 hours later and doesn't show up in the Poloniex deposit/withdrawal history.  Any clue on how long BTC transactions are taking?

How long it takes depends on the fee you paid but generally with a sufficient fee it should show up on poloniex within an hour.

Are you sure you sent to the correct address? Take a look at your transaction ID and see how many confirmations it has. If your fee was too low its possible to accelerate it with viabtc.

I'm positive about the address.  I copied and pasted it and have gone back to verify it myself.  BTC was sent to the BTC wallet on Poloniex.  Coinbase says it has 0 confirmations and Poloniex doesn't even show it was sent.
How much transaction do you input? The minimum amount on coinbase? Bitcoin network is very slow and requires many confirmation to be verified it as legit transaction. Sending bitcoin now is unstable due to upcoming fork.
