HODL.ZONE Final Update
We at HODL.ZONE are sad to announce the closure of our site. Due to the changes at Poloniex, we have decided to close our doors as we are no longer able to support the users that we created the service for.
HODL.ZONE was created in the US and was created primarily to serve our family and friends. We could not have expected our growth into the Asian Market, and to support those users we had our website translated entirely into Chinese and Taiwanese.
Poloniex has removed lending from US customers, and therefore any profits we were receiving personally. These were the profits we used to maintain and support the website, and without them, we can not justify the time commitment.
The team at HODL.ZONE wants to thank each and every one of our customers for giving us the opportunity to help out some fellow crypto hodlers. I want to give a special shoutout to Mike Chou. Mike discovered HODL.ZONE, and loved our service so much, he translated our posts into Chinese and spread them throughout other communities. We reached out to him, and he provided us all the translations for every page on HODL.ZONE. What a tremendous effort, and it allowed us to expand our community. Thank you Mike
How about my data?
All data that we were collecting has been permanently deleted. This is all the lending data we have been collecting, as our algorithm was being tuned on historical data. All user data is also therefore deleted, all passwords (salted + hashed), all emails, everything. We do not intend to revive this service and have open sourced all the code. Launching it yourself would be no simple task, as our documentation is minimal. It was only two of us, and we know how things work. Feel free to browse the source code if you so wish: https://github.com/hodlzone/LendingBot
So long, and thanks for all the crypto.
