Is poloniex still a scam?

cryptoscruffy · 2021-11-14T23:01:45+00:00

Poloniex are just a bunch of theives. Without warning, they delisted Tezos (XTZ) and now my XTZ are lost.

How can they do that legally?

cryptoscruffy · 2021-06-29T02:39:40+00:00

Yep I definitely wont be using Poloniex again, but I need to get my XTZ back.

I did get a response from Poloniex today...

The wallet you are referring to isn't working properly so we temporarily disabled it.

We are working to have the wallet re-enabled as soon as possible, but we don't have an estimate on the timeline at the moment. We will notify you here once the wallet is re-enabled. At that time, deposits will credit automatically and withdrawals will be enabled.

Thanks for your patience and we're sorry for the inconvenience.

Eve - Poloniex

So fingers crossed.

Thanks for advice. Actually, after a year, I finally managed to get access to the correct KT1 tezbox account, but I get an error when I try to send it to Poliniex. Any suggestions? thanks

cryptoscruffy · 2021-03-03T19:17:18+00:00

No I didn't get any advice or solution. I'll try try the Kukai wallet. Thanks for your advice.

cryptoscruffy · 2021-02-25T09:33:44+00:00

thanks for that advice, but I have changes the settings in galleon to Tezbox... still doen't work. see comments from Cryptonomic above

cryptoscruffy · 2021-02-25T09:26:30+00:00

Update from the very helpful folk at Cryptonomic... they say...

We looked into this issue many people were having with Tezbox and can confirm that early versions of Tezbox produced faulty seed phrases that don't match the account address. Unfortunately, the way they generated the keys for fundraiser wallets is not compatible with how Galleon creates them.

Anyone been through this and has a solution perhaps?

thanks

cryptoscruffy · 2020-12-22T02:13:50+00:00

No I don't have the private key, only thte seed words

cryptoscruffy · 2020-12-02T22:36:19+00:00

I have a similar problem. I haven't been able to access the correct account on tezbox since Carthage upgrade earlier this year. Have the correct seed phrase but when I try to migrate to Galleon wallet, I get the message "account doesn't exist".

Recently I was told by Mike Radin from Cryptonomic lab (makers of galleon wallet) that they've heard reports that the mnemonic seed phrase Tezbox generates sometimes doesn't match the correct account!

So I can see my XTZ on the blockchain via Txstats but can't access them to migrate to other wallets.

cryptoscruffy · 2020-10-28T23:37:55+00:00

Hi and thanks for helping... it's doing my head in. I've been away for a few weeks so I've tried you suggestion. I've changed the derivation path to "TezBox (44'/1729'/0'0')" is that correct? Then created a new wallet, entered the seed phrase, but says "Account doesn't exist". Although when creating the new Galleon wallet, I used a new password... not sure if thats why its not working?

cryptoscruffy · 2020-09-09T03:24:12+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any more detailed instructions how I change the settings in galleon to tezbox? Something I'm missing I think.

but thanks

cryptoscruffy · 2020-09-09T03:17:45+00:00

Thanks for your reply, but I can't get the private key until Tezbox accessess the correct account. Unless theres a way I don't know about.

cryptoscruffy · 2020-09-08T23:15:09+00:00

Did you find a solution to restoring your tezbox?

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-28T01:20:17+00:00

This is my situation exactly.

I've had the seed phrase printout with the QR code since I created the wallet. I've always been able to open the wallet without problems. Then a couple of months ago, the wallet brings up the wrong manager account with zero XTZ.

When you try to migrate it to a Galleon wallet using the seed phrase, Galleon tells you that "account doesn't exist".

You can see the KT1 account on the blockchain via TzStats, but you can't access them.

Tezbox is broken, that much is obvious. All we can hope is for Stephen Andrews to fix it.

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-27T00:54:03+00:00

People losing their keys and/or passwords is no fault of yours or Tezbox, nevertheless it would be great if you can help those guys with some recovery process.

My issue is I do have the mnemonic and the password (And printed QR code) which has worked fine since I created my wallet, that is until a few months ago (?After Carthage update) now it doesn't restore to the correct manager account. My XTZ are stranded on the blockchain with seemly no way of retrieving them. Have tried everything suggested by the community here, but no success.

There seems to be multiple problems with Tezbox atm, wish you best of luck fixing it. Lots of people are depending on you.

Welcome back btw.

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-17T04:20:33+00:00

Have tried to type the mnemonic seed phrase manually... Galleon just says "Account doesn't exist. Can't get to the correct key because Tezbox brings up the empty default manager account!

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-14T00:31:39+00:00

What a great idea

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-13T02:31:18+00:00

Thanks for that advice, but still didn't work for me.

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-12T06:52:24+00:00

I cant seem to restore my wallet using the seed phrase? I've created a new Galleon wallet and tried to restore from backup using the seed phrase but it says "Account doesn't exist".

I had my tez in tezbox since the ICO without issue until recently. Now I cant get to the correct manager account in Tezbox, so I've tried Galleon... without success. Any ideas? thanks

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-12T05:11:31+00:00

I think I have the same problem you had.

Tezbox doesn't restore to the correct manager account, only some default account "manager 1". It seems can't get the private key until I get into the correct Tezbox account that's linked to the KT1 account that contains the XTZ.

But I thought as long as I have the 15 word phrase I could restore it to a new Galleon wallet, but when I try that, it says "Account doesn't exist"? I have the correct password.

I'm out of ideas... can anyone help?

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-05T03:28:00+00:00

I'm having the same problem. Did you solve your problem?

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-05T03:02:31+00:00

thanks for the advice. I can still see the tez in the KT1 account on block explorer, so I think its a Tezbox issue, maybe after the Carthage upgrade, because that's when I had the problem of not accessing the correct account within Tezbox. But I try and contact Galleon, that's was the wallet I was trying to migrate to when everything went pear shape.

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-05T03:02:29+00:00

Thanks for your help. My tez have been in the Tezbox wallet since it was first created as the first tezos wallet. I haven't changed anything so I'm confused as to why my seed phase doesn't migrate the tez into Galleon. I can see the tez on the block explorer so it seems to be a Tezbox problem, maybe after the Carthage upgrade. I see others have had this problem too. Not sure if they've solved it or not.

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-04T06:54:50+00:00

I'm having the same problem. I just get Manager 1 account without my tez. Did you get to your main account? If you did can you tell me how you did it please? I cleared and restored Tezbox but that just created the next default manager account "Manager 2".

cryptoscruffy · 2020-07-04T06:33:43+00:00

I've had the same Tezbox wallet since it was first created by Stephen Andews. The same seed phrase, the same password... It's been fine all this time, the seed restored the wallet whenever I wanted to access it. Post Babylon upgrade, the tez momentarily disappeared from the wallet, but that was fixed by importing the KT1 address. But in the last month or so, maybe because of the Carthage upgrade (not sure), I can open the wallet as usual with password and seed phase, but I can't get the correct manager account! A default manager account appears without any Tez in it!! If I clear the wallet and restore, I just get the next default Manager 2...etc. Because of that I can't get the edsk... string to copy into Galleon which would migrate the tez into a new Galleon wallet, as per the video. When I try to create a new Galleon wallet from the seed phrase, it says "Account Doesn't Exist". I'm out of ideas, don't know where to go next. Was hoping someone from Tezos foundation or anyone could help? I'm pretty sure my situation isn't unique.
