PoloniEX has a banner suggesting their is issues with the network at the moment despite all other exchanges and the network itself operating fine. There has been no official word from Poloniex (that i am aware of) in regards to the 'issues' that they are having but it has been observed this week that their hot wallet was completely emptied of all funds resulting in delays for users trying to withdraw. Their hot wallet is holding ~ 8 Million BTS at the time of writing but this is still very low for an exchange of their size. The downtrend in their hot wallet holdings came as no surprise (seeing BTS funds flow over to Chinese exchanges) so the fact that they did not withdraw from their cold wallet raises some questions... You can keep an eye on their wallet HERE

They have also advised that Open.Muse being held on the Bitshares network will need to be transferred to the Muse chain before the snapshot occurs. Make sure you read the official announcement and prepare for the launch of the new chain this summer. Announcement can be found HERE
has put out a warning to anyone who had PPY share-dropped on their BTS accounts (account on the Peerplays blockchain prefixed with 'bts-'). These accounts lack a memo key which is causing problems when depositing your PPY to an exchange as the memos are not properly included in the transactions (memos are used as unique identifiers when using exchange accounts on Graphene). This is resulting in users having to submit support tickets to retrieve their balances at the exchange end. See his full post HERE
Cointelegraph has covered the Crypviser exit from Ethereum and migration to Bitshares network. Crypviser is building an encrypted network for social and business communication based on Blockchain. The Crypviser team based their decision to move due to scale-ability concerns for their real time platform after the Ethereum network is seeing congestion during ICO's in the last few weeks. They have also released a blog post yesterday guiding ICO investors how to sign up for a Bitshares account and update their crypvisor ICO profile ready for the distribution of CVCoin on the 7th of July.
