I sent the Poloniex exchange some stealth coins, and they haven't shown up in an hour and I've very concerned so I looked them up on the blockchain, something about not being redeemed. Could somebody help me so I know I haven't just lost that money? Here is a screenshot
You haven't lost the money. "Not yet redeemed" means that the coins have not been spent by the account receiving them.
We tested the new functionality on a testnet, which is isolated from the main net. So there would be no interference.
It is likely that the problem is purely with poloniex. They do not have a status page like bittrex, so it is difficult to diagnose the issue. A most likely explanation is that they had a wallet server go offline.
Your best bet for immediate help is to use the poloniex troll box and get a mod to meet you in the #poloniex IRC. Poloniex has some of the best customer support in the industry.
Just thought I'd update you and the rest of the community that might have been curious. You were completely right about Poloniex. The guys on Poloniex were great about it and got it resolved quickly, thanks for your suggestion to contact them in the troll box. If I hadn't it may have taken me a lot longer to get the problem resolved. This little crises of mine and its resolution, just reaffirms in my mind that this community and this coin are great. I have no regrets about investing in XST. You guys are the real deal, thanks so much for your help and suggestions.
