Title: Kraken.com Slow Due To August 1?? EDIT: Bad Gateway 504 + Screenshot
Post by: ZepaniZeppos on August 01, 2017, 12:30:47 PM
Title says it all,
I'm trying to access Kraken. It's like there's so many people trying to access Kraken.com it looks like a DDOS.

I'm about to buy Bitcoin when it crashes :)

So anyone else struggling to load Kraken.com?

Interesting plan you have.

Kraken fine for me and any swing down a bit in BTC price is likely due to current exchange freezes... crash, no. It's needed to get BCC and will likely be bought back into with that BCC.

No, kraken is always slow.

And why so pessimistic, I really hope BTC won´t crash now  ;)
Has Kraken already credited the BCC ?

I haven't bought any bitcoins yet and the price is good right now! Should i buy on Kraken or will I risk losing my coins? Can I buy and immediately send them to Exodus wallet?

Why would you lose them?

If anything you waited too long to buy in to receive BCC I think. BTC price is kind of frozen for a moment due to exchanges getting ready.

Really??

Kraken always loads within 10 seconds for me, my internet is more than fast enough. Then suddenly at 12:00 it keeps loading over 1 minute. Lucky me I have set a buy order already at € 999

I doubt it's a DDOS attack and just because everyone is panicking/getting excited about what is going to happen with the price. You should have put your orders in already to avoid this though.

Orders? You mean choosing a price that the computer will buy for you automatically when it reaches said price on Kraken? I didn't know you could do that haha

Site isn't down and  the price tickers keep updating but I can't log in as there's a 503  Service Unavailable The requested service is currently unavailable error.

What do you mean? Isn't that exactly what it's meant to be for?

Kraken had a major trading engine upgrade (https://blog.kraken.com/post/1449/kraken-returns-with-free-trading/) in early January. Connectivity is much better and trading has been running very smoothly ever since. If you haven't tried Kraken in a while please drop by! Also, check out our new trading interface at trade.kraken.com (http://trade.kraken.com).

Please stop by our Bitcointalk thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=290799.0) if you need anything else!
