It’s so sad, as well as scary, seeing the US on lists like this one. I’m old enough to remember when many people around the world looked up to the US as the land of the free. Odd countries, where you needed special arrangements for trade and travel, were places like the USSR and some corrupt and war-torn old colonies in Africa. Now the US has become one of the “special” ones.
My latest experience travelling outside of Europe was Mexico last year. Wanna fly from Germany to Mexico? ¡No hay problema! ¡Bienvenidos! Heck, I don’t even need a visa. Wanna fly to, or even change flights in the US? Get in a separate line at the airport. Why a separate line, I ask an official. That’s classified. Fine, I’ll be on my way and just avoid places like that. Maybe I’ll visit Colombia next time I want to get away from the cold and the dark here.
Americans talk a big game about revolution. But before you jump to omg I need guns to fight the government I have a wayyyy out there totally off the wall idea… what if you write your local representative and be like I didn’t vote for this nanny state. Freedom is like a garden. You can’t just make it all nice one year and that’s all you ever have to do. Takes constant work. If you neglect it weeds will take over.
I still refuse to believe the US is more of a nanny state than Finland. I can’t even get in my boat without a government approved life jacket here! Different countries, different problems. (Sorry for going a bit off topic again.)
Afaik it shows all balances on that address, but I’m not testing it now, can’t be bothered to turn on PC.
Edit.
Certainly if you login it shows btc balances so I can’t see why it wouldn’t.
Edit2. Ok so I checked one balance, it shows 0.0 BTC there, which i know is incorrect as they send hundreds of sats to make the transaction due to how omni works.
I would guess they did not consider listing such small balances as a few hundred sats without logging in.
I don’t want to argue with you about what you said, you know what you said.
However. Did you say that
Because you certainly can’t move your own coins of poloniex through omniwallet without a pvt key.
Yes poloniex could, you could not as you cant sign anything offline without that pvt key, that you don’t have access to.
Right. I was just trying to say that you can use the online wallet to make transactions without revealing your private key to the online wallet (after moving them off Polo).
I have a fair amount of MAID, and have kept them on OmniCore for a few years without issue. A couple of times I needed to update the software, but no big deal. This software loads and syncs the entire Bitcoin blockchain, though, so it grinds away like crazy. Also, whenever the computer needs to be rebooted there is a risk of the chain being corrupted. As it takes many weeks to sync the chain from scratch I just keep a copy then it only has to sync from that point forward.
Poloniex used to give me the “complete: error” about 1 in 4 times I tried to move my coins off. You need to submit a trouble ticket (which for some reason you have to register for separately) and they typically push the transaction through within a day. Not sure how long now that there will be a mass exodus.
Being in the US it really sucks not to have any exchange available. Poloniex recently added a US$ coin that allowed me to bypass Coinbase. I could wire money in and get my MAID within a few hours at minimal expense. Oh well…
I was hoping to buy some more MAID if we broke below $0.10, but I’m pretty satisfied with what I have. What’s interesting is I feel way more annoyed that I can’t buy any more if this drop continues than I am about missing out on selling some if we get a pop in price when Fleming/MVP is released. I have absolutely no inclination to sell any now, and I’m ready to HODL. Other than a potential profit on MVP release, this project has always been a long-term investment. If Bitcoin is any guide, those that sold as it approached $1000 probably felt foolish as it went blasting through $10K. I have the same problem others have mentioned: I tend to want to sell early. Now I won’t have that problem, at least for a while.
With a lot of people cut off from the exchange that would mean the supply of coins on the market is going to be a little bit drier.
This could mean MAID price will go up.
I always go back to the same thing. I don’t actually understand people’s desire to sell if the network goes off in full course. Unless you are retirement age or already in retirement why would you sell just to have some extra cash when the potential is so huge? It’s ok to take some profit but investors lack patience these days imo.
My thought is that at some point there will likely be a logical point or points to take some profits (based on the price). Like any investment I would only sell based on risk/reward relative to the price at the time.
Reached out to Polo and issue is now resolved. They didn’t explain what happened, but they pushed the transaction through, and I was able to withdraw everything.
I think I found out what causes the problem/message “complete:error” on Poloniex when withdrawing Maid. Just make sure that when you paste your address in the address box it has no empty space from the right side. In other words you have to make sure that you paste the address just at the first letter from the right. Using copy paste may cause a one letter space which may cause a problem for the system to identify the address. I hope It clarifies the issue and makes sense.
That could cause the issue; however, I checked for extra spaces on two failed attempts. Using identical process on the third attempt worked perfectly. All that changed is that I’d contacted Polo about it, and they’d pushed through the first two attempts as well. Who knows…
In other news, sounds like buy orders out weigh sell orders for MAID. Can anyone confirm?
On a side note, if Polo is now under Asian management, I’m wondering how that should impact the marketing strategy, both in terms of better reaching an Asian audience as well as finding new routes to reach and provide access to US consumers. For example, when hosting a meetup, it would be great to be able to let people know how they can acquire MAID.
Edited to reflect US users cannot access HitBTC (unless they don’t verify).
HitBTC no longer allows trades from U.S. customers:
Notwithstanding the above, you are not in any case allowed to access and use our Services if you are located, incorporated or otherwise established, or a citizen or resident of:
(i) the United States of America;
(ii) North Korea,
(iii) Sudan,
(iv) Crimea and Sevastopol;
(v) Cuba,
(vi) Syria, or
(vii) any state, country or other jurisdiction that is embargoed by the United States of America,
Haven’t been there in so long, I didn’t realize that was the case. Can’t say I’m sorry to see them go. I’ve updated post to reflect that they aren’t an option.
Let’s hope that Polo International (or whatever they’ll call themselves) has better MAID trading volume than Bittrex International. To get there though will likely require a somewhat retooled marketing strategy, I think.
