BitShares foundation has already tried contacting Poloniex, it's up to Poloniex to accept the assistance.

FYI
So, for protecting shareholders' interests, who will discuss with Poloniex?! Committee members or someone?
The 5% debate: Not going to be discusses by the spokesperson
The Poloniex issue: Going to be descissed by the spokesperson - BBF has reached out to poloniex, but hasn't heard back from them

This Poloniex wallet issue is another example of why we need to promote the DEX. But it's always going to be an uphill battle because others always have the newest hottest tokens. While on BTS we seem to only have Open Ledger issuing assets with any serious liquidity.

"Poloniex wallet issue" is bullshit in my opinion. There is a near 3 cent price difference now, with respect to other exchanges. I would not be surprised if it turns out that they buying bts themselves at this supressed price. They would be effectively buying the competitor.

do you think its good idea to buy cheap BTS in Polo now and withdraw when the ''issue'' is fixed? Is somebody doing that from here?

I still buy BTS in polo yes. The blockchain is up, they still have the funds. They controlled it not so long ago, so I guess it will come back to normal at some point... but it's risky of course. Poloniex already did that once, and answered no questions if I remember correctly.
Shame on me to still use this exchange. But their huge advantage is the lending feature, earning huge interests while still holding your BTS is irresistible to me :(

How much interest are you receiving?
DEX offers the same feature by shorting HERO with BTS and pays 5% and helps drive the price of BTS up at the same time.

Ahah no you get 5% per year on your HERO if you convert your BTS to HERO, but you're not holding BTS anymore, you're holding HERO, and 5% per year is nothing in cryptoworld. The interest rates you can see in poloniex lending tab are daily rates. Taking compounding (and the polo 15% tax) into account, a 0.1% per day rate translate into 37% interest per year. And currently I have some active loans giving 1% interest per day (these very high rates never last very long, but it is still a guaranteed win). That translates in very substantial gains while still holding BTS, the only risk being poloniex losing the funds... which is a very active risk right now. Implementing a lending feature paying interests for all kinds of margin trading in the BitShares DEX would be awesome and was planned for initially, but it requires a lot of liquidity in the markets to be viable.
