Care to share either the wallet address or the transaction I'd? I'm curious to see what actually happened.

The transaction ID was c1a9240a063578b4cfff47b54a196ecf118a50ffe0c7cb6a8aa504fd82e7cc07

You should lock this thread if you consider the issue resolved, or at least edit the title so it doesn't waste the time of anybody that clicks on it.

The thread isn't mine.

UPDATE:
Poloniex response to my ticket:

Thank you for getting in touch.
Please do not ever send one type of crypto currency to the address of another type of crypto currency. Mistakes like this can lead to the complete and irretrievable loss of your funds and so always be vigilant.
However in this case I am happy to inform you that I have succeeded in recovering the funds for you.
They should be credited to your account shortly.
Please let me know if you feel that there is still an issue.


I confirm that the funda are in my account now.
I'm glad my money isn't lost :-)

Troll box is an open chat Poloniex is hosting.  unless the account is official poloniex account it means as much as what we say here. (somewhat helpful but not definitive) 

I understand that the OP response won't change much.
I am waiting for Poloniex's response to the ticket I opened yesterday but as I am in the same situation as the OP I was just curious to know.

Yes, I also found this tread meanwile and posted a response to the OP asking how the situation turned out for him.
He hasn't logged into this forum since September so I guess he won't reply any time soon.
In the meantime I am waiting for Poloniex's response to the ticket I opened yesterday.

I then sent these boitcoins to my Poloniex USD generated address.

Please check make sure you've sent the Bitcoins to a Bitcoin (BTC) address. Polo clearly tells in red "please make sure you send only to this address".
I have a hunch that you've sent to an address Polo doesn't handle.

You have a good point there, I now see what I did wrong.
In Poloniex I should had made the transfer to BTC address and not the USDT address. As in the main page where it says "BUY BTC" you must have USDT, I clicked "Deposit USDT" and it gave me a wallet address, I made the transfer to that address.
But shouldn't the transfer from Coinbase not happen due to an incorrect address? And will it be possible to undo the transaction?

Did you send in the amount of 0.14 BTC? most sites just need 3 confirmations to confirm the deposit.

Yes, 0,14801082 bitcoins.
What looks weird is the ammount of confirmations, like you said 3 confirmations could be enough.
As mentioned before I already opened a ticket yesterday, I will wait but I am starting my trading an am a little pissed because of the delay, I was hoping to start my trading  profiting on the chinese dip... :-(

Yes, I copy / pasted and checked the transaction history ant the address is correct.
I opened a ticket at Poloniex 14 hours ago and still no reply.
Right now I have 100 confirmations. Strange...

[Solved] 18 hours transaction and the bitcoins still haven't arrived

Hello everybody,

Yesterday I created a wallet at Coinbase and put in some 0.14 bitcoins.
I then sent these boitcoins to my Poloniex USD generated address.
18 hours have passed and the bitcoins haven't yet arrived and I see (at the moment) 98 confirmations!
I'm a begginer and I tried to read a little bit about this but I guess it is not normal...
What can be happening and why is it taking so long? Can somebody enlighten me?

Thanks for reading
