PSA: PoloniEX's Bitshares wallet is 'poloniexwallet' NOT 'poloniex'. There are warnings built into the Bitshares wallets regarding this account but it seems the last couple of weeks has seen some users who attempted to transfers BTS from Bittrex to PoloniEX accidently transfer their BTS to this name squatter. As a result the fake 'poloniex' account now controls over 2 Million Bitshares and has reached the Top 100 BTS holder list.

This weeks Bitshares hangout recording has been published and is available HERE

Current registered wallets/accounts within the Bitshares network is 447984; an increase of 6623 wallets/accounts since last week

And even with all those updates and initiatives, all BTS did was dip another 6% in overall value...

Great.

Just great.

Why did I ever get involved with this project is beyond me... now down 70% from my initial investment in BTS.

I guess live and learn, and set some stop losses while trading, right?
