Title: transfer to Kraken but no confirmation
Post by: worldtraveller321 on November 29, 2017, 08:26:06 AM
I set up an account with Kraken today, at a level one only. I then transferred after my account with kraken was approved and verified

transfer as a deposit of Ether from my Wallet to Kraken

transaction on coinomi went through  and I used proper address, no mistakes

however no confirmation on email, nor nothing showed up in Kraken
been a few hours now and nothing

what is wrong?

You're sure that you deposited to an ETH address, right? Post the tx hash ID from your transaction history, so we can confirm. For example, it should look like this: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x05f71e1b2cb4f03e547739db15d080fd30c989eda04d37ce6264c5686e0722c9

Coinomi apparently confuses some people into exchanging currencies before sending. I came across a thread where someone thought they were sending BTC, but they ended up sending USDT to a BTC address. This was problematic because the broker didn't support USDT.

After we confirm that the transaction actually happened on the ETH blockchain, the next step would be to confirm that the receiving address was actually your ETH deposit address at Kraken. A screenshot will do, but be careful to crop/black out any other account information before posting one.

It's possible that their node is not operating correctly and/or that this is just a delay. But it sounds like something went awry. I would really advise against using Coinomi. It's closed-source, and its Shapeshift/Changelly onboarding seems to confuse people. In a pinch, I much prefer https://www.myetherwallet.com. To circle back to your other thread, they checksum addresses....

I don't recommend any third party web wallets. You should control the software that signs/broadcasts transactions. I also dislike mobile wallets, especially closed-source wallets. Most use centralized validation and have very poor privacy, particularly multi-coin wallets.

As mentioned, there are Jaxx and Exodus, but I've seen reports of vulnerabilities in both. I immediately uninstalled the Jaxx wallet when I realized that you literally cannot encrypt the wallet with a passphrase. You get a 4-digit pin number. No thanks!

You should look into a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano. They are integrating more altcoins everyday, including low cap altcoins. This is the most user-friendly and secure option for dealing with multiple currencies and internet-connected devices.
