FYI: New York Bitlicense Will Affect Poloniex Users From New York, USA

The alternative choice could be of course, masterxchange.com

Did you send me 0.00000546 BTC?

No. Just sent .0001 to your address

Now I’m getting concerned. I just had someone withdraw 11 Maidsafe Coin from their account on Poloniex to the exact same wallet my transfer of 11,000 36 hours ago is for and it confirmed in under 10 minutes but my 36 hour ago withdrawal is sitting there pending. That wasn’t slow, why is the first one taking so long?

I just checked the address you posted. Nothing there yet. Omniwallet.org

Thats strange because i’m seeing coins.

Also an Op just said my coins might be ā€œstuckā€. :-/

I’ve been waiting 24 hours for a withdrawal from Poloniex as well. Hopefully it’s just a glitch and nothing sinister, as I’ve just bought some more :smile:

I wanted to buy more before the cutoff that’s in place because of the New York State regulations goes into effect but not sure if I will now.

You’re right. I needed to tip my phone to see balances. The 1 maidsafecoin rode in on the .00000546 BTC and what I sent is there too

Thank you for offering to help and sending those to make sure it’s working.

I’m just pinging the GM at the exchange now and will post any updates as soon as I get them.

Awesome! Much appreciation! Thank you!

Hi everyone, and thank you nicklambert for notifying me.

Please rest assured that your MAID is safe. There are some deposit and withdrawal delays due to insufficient transaction fees. Unfortunately, we have no control over the fee used for Master Protocol transactions. We have contacted the developers to see if this can be resolved quickly.

Regarding the upcoming restrictions for New York based users: Withdrawals initiated prior to the 8th will be processed normally, even if technical issues delay processing past the 8th. After the 8th, you will still be able to request a one-time withdrawal of all funds with an account closure — there is no deadline on this.

We greatly regret the situation for our friends in New York, and wish that the regulators had considered the effects on both small businesses and their customers. If you are in New York and need assistance withdrawing your funds to close your accounts, please contact our support team.

Well my withdrawals ended up being double spends and so I got nothing. Its now 3 1/2 days since the older withdrawal.

I contacted support (~1 day to respond) and they passed it onto an ā€œagentā€ 1 1/2 days ago and I have heard nothing and can see nothing having been done.

How long does one wait?

EDIT: later withdrawals have been fast and successful, just those two which took many hours to ā€œcompleteā€ then many hours to show as double spends.

I made another purchase before the cut off. The transaction hasn’t been confirmed checking with blockchain.info and omniwallet.org only shows my previous balance. I waited 24 hours for it to go through and when it didn’t go through spoke to an Op in the trollbox. The Op(GeezUp) told me to submit a support ticket. I received a response and was told it was being escalated to have the transfer resent and I received that response 36 hours ago but still my withdrawal sits unconfirmed. I asked for an ETA 14 hours ago but haven’t received a reply from that as of yet.

How long did it take for the resend to occur from when the support person told you

I’m still waiting on them to resend this latest withdrawal. The previous one was completed in a couple of hours.

It has me a bit mystified why my withdrawals take so long when my brother was able to withdrawal from his account in less than 10 minutes twice.

My later ones done today were completed and coins in wallet in under 1/2 hour. Same wallet, s the wallet address is not the issue for the previous double spend TXs
