KRAKEN is down for almost 24 hours. I have accounts in different exchanges and so far this is the longest down time for any exchange I have ever seen.

To make things worse, their update is soooo cynical!  "We are close but rather than launch immediately ahead of the team passing out, we will push off a bit to get some rest "

We users are anxiously waiting and you guys are taking rest?? huh!!   I sent them a support ticket 3 months ago and till now no reply!!   Now this down time...

I will take my money out as soon as it comes back online.  But I highly suspect, they will disable withdrawing money after they are online! because they know deep down there are hundreds of more users like me who will leave this crappy exchange as soon as possible!!  ??? ???

This is still Down!  I can't believe it!   is it really just down or they are planning something else.?  really worried now  >:(

there is lots on this topic to be found.
From what I understand they are doing an update.
We all have seen and experienced the problems on Kraken in the last month's.
Hopefully it will be way better after the work done.

Kraken and Poloniex are GARBAGE exchanges. Kraken had problems in the past with payouts and also screwed people over when marginal trading went down the gutter a few years back. Polo's support is HORRIBLE. But 90% of exchanges suck.

When you see how the site was full of errors for several months, it's probably not a simple update but rather a major upgrade. The engine was really outdated.
It's frustrating. Looks like they didn't get a test environment before trying to be on live lol. I hope the problems will be fixed once for good and then that they will improve the customers support to the level we deserve.

I will be happy if they come back.  But my worry is if they are to become SCAM/hacked ( God forbid).   After seeing so many users loosing their money from other exchanges, my heart is beating really fast in this long down time from KRAKEN  :-\

Don't worry you are not alone, I am in the same shoe. I was off for 2-3 days and this morning I noticed the website is down and wasn't aware the site will be offline.
After all the horrible stories we saw before with exchanges like MTGox, Crypty, BTC-e... everything is possible unfortunately :/

Kraken has been having some issues recently. I have also had some problems. Looking for other exchanges like binance.

Ask Roger Ver what’s going on. He owns Kraken.com. Maybe he’s converting everyone’s bitcoin to bitcoin cash. As soon as the conversion is complete Kraken will open back up and you will all only see bitcoin cash in your accounts. LOL

I'm on kraken since 2016... They always have issue on processing trades (long time delays) , but i never had issue on receiving my FIAT when i sold crypto.

Yep, he was the very first investor in Kraken and owns the domain name Kraken.com.

i'm really disappointed. I've been using kraken since 2014 and that was a really great exchange.

But now...i don't know...

I really hope that this down will solve their problems

kraken is working in degraded mode for months now, they promised to upgrade their infrastructure couple of times "please, have patience, we're working on it" and at some point i got enough of it.
Took me 3 days to be able to add a bank account to withdraw everything and another 4 days of error 505/502, transaction failed please retry later..
I have always loved kraken, was my first exchanger and i had faith in them.. now are just a joke and my advice is to get out of it until they will really solve their issues, right now even if you are able to login (after couple of refreshes) good luck trying to create a transaction.

Never mind, I forgot that you can’t ask Roger Ver how an exchange is doing. He will just lie to you like he lied about MtGox.

As a system admin myself, it really sucks when a system upgrade doesn't go as planned, but for a site as big as kraken, I'm shocked at how long they take to perform the upgrade or at the very least perform a fallback (if they even have a fallback plan).

This explains why Roger is supporting Bitcoin Cash too, because he likes to invest in technology that will eventually fail. He is also

invested in Blockchain.info and these guys decided to add BCash, before SegWit. {Just wondering if he had a hand in that too}  ::)

The timing with Coinbase and Kraken going down at almost the same time, might also explain the dip in the price. {less volume}

What you mean? COINBASE is not down. its working fine..  KRAKEN is down for more than 24 hours and their maintenance landing page is so sillyyy! I am extremely worried now to say the least..  >:( >:(

Kraken is upgrading it's systems but it's not enough. They are mostly offline. I'm bored of seeing Cloudflare's 502 error page. I assume, Kraken is promoting Cloudflare :) But in fact, it's one of the rare fiat exchanges. I use to deposit USD and EURO time to time...

Gold star! Finally someone gets it. I use humor and sarcasm on this forum way too much (because I like to use it in speaking). Someone told me once the spoken word doesn’t always translate well to the written word. I really should stop considering for about 80% of this forum English is a second or third language.

because of heavy new registrations many exchangers are in maintenance...

Yes I am also pissed at Kraken, What the hell are they doing why they just don't udpdate the servers they have a lot of money from the fees and everything this is really not right. I know some friends, their funds are there and they have a lot of money :(

As of Binance exchange is growing like crazy and i never seen this much growth in any exchange recently. And this is because of their improved infrastructure and UI attracting more and more But already established exchanges like Kraken, Bittrex are not at all trying attract consumers now and they are not giving proper reply to customers and delisting potential coins losing customers trust on them continuously

How can an established exchange decides to do such a long maintenance in the middle of the week!! At least they could send a courtesy email to user and do the maintenance in the weekend like any other company..

look at their mainatnce page message... so silly.. so shi**y...  :-X

I wish I knew this before!!  I would never ever use anything that has connection with 'Roger var'

I've been hearing that the FBI and SEC are now investing Kraken as a big "inside-job" has happened during the update and all user funds have disappeared. This will be even bigger than the demise of Mt Gox.

Guys.... You should begin to accept that everything you have on Kraken has been lost and cannot be recovered as they even forgot to lock funds and even take blockchain snapshots.

In the unlikely event of Kraken ever coming online again, there will be a lot of panic withdrawals as nobody will ever trust them again. Kraken now face collapse regardless.

Source?

People dont realize these exchanges have millions of members, if everyone contacts there support they will have a million messages. 24 hours is not a big deal, they have a lot of work keeping the maintenance high. I wouldn't worry about it.

"24 hours is not a big deal".. are you out of your mind??? For an exchange to go down without notice in the middle of week for even couple of hours IS A VERY BIG DEAL, let alone 24 hours!!!

Correct, I can’t believe anyone thinks 24 hours isn’t a problem.

Think of it this way. If you had rent to pay and you went to your bank to withdraw money Monday morning and they were closed for housekeeping would you be pissed off? Would you pay a late fee for not paying your rent on time?

If bitcoiners want btc to compete with the big boys then bitcoin needs to wipe its ass without help, stop peeing the bed and become a big boy.

I am lucky that I have withdrawal my funds from Kraken account last week and I knew that are some issues going on with Kraken from past few months. It's not the first time happened with Kraken. Even some few months back there were payout and registration errors happen and I was one among those Traders whose fund withdrawal requested was processed after tons of request and that it took me more than ten to twelve days of time. Eventhoug I was having only $200, but what to do if there any emergency? That's the reason I Maintain different trading accounts with other exchanges too. kraken was a nightmare for myself and till than I avoid Kraken for trading purposes

You have very bad experience i think about exchanger because you said that 90% suck.
However although we can not believe any exchange but we still need to use 1 of them to trade.

it's a crime tell something like that without a source! So, please, edit that message or give us some source.

"'i've been hearing"... come on...

The first time i see an exchange going down for a day?! Thats pretty aweful and surely many traders will avoid it right after this incident.

Luckily never had to deal with Kraken


Agree.  Although competition leads to innovation, with such little overseas regulation, it makes it tough to weed through the "scam" exchanges.

Easy talking for someone who from the looks hasn't experienced any similar situations. I have experienced it with BTC-E that they remained offline, and that for quite a long period of time, where later turned out that this exchange was raided by the FBI. Of course I am not saying that this has happened to Kraken as well, but just to indicate that if you can't access thousands and thousands worth of crypto, you feel worried and frustrated. Sure, you can say that it isn't wise to leave funds on an exchange, but that's not of importance anymore right now. Kraken has been horrible with their reliability in the last weeks/months, and this is just a big f-you in the face of every user of that exchange.

It's obvious that Kraken's users will now be leaving en masse after this latest scam fuck-up. They've been unreliable for many months and will never be trusted again. Even if they do come back online, which I doubt, they'll never cope with the massive amount of withdrawals and bail-outs. I'm so glad that less than 1% of my funds are on there. It goes to show... NEVER leave funds on an exchange are they are more dangerous than basic online wallets.

A day? It'll be at least a week and will shut down soon after.

Lets hope it comes back up soon.

Some of us remember MTGOX all too well...

Some times this happens only to protect our accounts from being hacked. So, don't hate, try to understand.

What crime are you going to charge me with then? Don't worry, the collapse of Kraken will be all over the news by this weekend. BTW... a banking buddy in Seoul told me about the heist within Kraken. For obvious reasons, I'm not posting her name, but it'll all be made public by Monday. Apparently it was a disgruntled Kraken employee who was reprimanded for passing privileged information to another exchange in South Korea. Trust me.... real shit is happening right now!

This is much bigger than MTGOX as fiat has been stolen too!

Too late, it was hacked before the update which is why it failed. Accounts may be OK, but most funds have gone.

Takes to long to do updates, indeed reminds me of MTGox!

From where have you get this? Or what makes you think the site was hacked? Is that some kind of rumors which people repeat on the web without understanding?
I am really curious to know what you heard about this exactly

Hi Guys!

We are so sorry for the long wait, but rest assured that your funds are safe. We're just as anxious to get this up and running as you all are. Our developers are working around the clock to make sure the trading engine is up and running as soon as possible.

This is strictly a trading engine upgrade. No funds are involved in this upgrade whatsoever. We are not stealing client's funds.

If you have any further concerns please be sure to drop by our Bitcointalk thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=290799.0) and check out our Status page (https://status.kraken.com/incidents/nswthr1lyx72) for new updates.

Thank you so much for your patience.



This story is completely fabricated, as I'm sure everyone is well aware.

If this is true it will be worse than MTGox.  :-\

@Kraken-Septimus, I have a few questions for you and the team.

1. What particular issues is the dev team working on exactly?
2. Is it possible for Kraken to do a roll back to return to the old engine?
3. Why Kraken has not done a roll back?
4. Why does the Status page have infrequent updates? Last update was 8 hours ago.
5. How many developers are working on this maintenance?
6. Will the developer team work throughout this weekend on the maintenance?
7. When will the exchange be launched in view only mode?
8. When will deposit/withdraw for cryptos and fiat be enabled? "Withdrawals in all currencies will be offline for an additional 2-3 hours after other systems come online", does that mean after trading is enabled or the moment view only mode is enabled?

Ahh, yes. I see it now when I look his post history.

Well it really doesn't matter if he always post against Kraken. What matters is KRAKEN is doing exactly same as as another company that got hacked or raided by FBI. Kraken's attitude, replies are exactly same as those busted  exchanges.

Come one be realistic,  in any IT upgrade you have a backup, if upgrade fails and it takes long time then you simply roll back. simple as that!  But in Kraken's case they said it will take 2 hours, now its almost 48 hours!! and no update what so ever. instead, they are taking rest...    Even if they come back, no one will ever trust them and will take all the money out of kraken as soon as possible. so no matter what, KRAKEN is doomed!!

unfortunately in the process  we just lost our money  :( :(  very upset...

Update
We are still working to track down an elusive bug which is holding up launch. This bug did not appear in our many weeks of testing and only emerged in the production environment. Unfortunately, it is not consistently reproducible and we cannot launch until this issue is resolved. To reiterate our earlier statement: stale (and possibly all) orders will be canceled, and liquidations will be paused before trading is resumed. We will be offering a substantial amount of free trading following resolution.
Posted less than a minute ago. Jan 12, 2018 - 20:13 UTC


LARG AMOUNT I HOPE  >:( >:( >:(

Free trading is NOT the compensation we deserve. I was about to sell 10 ETH at €1100 and rebuy at €850 before they fucked it all up. Therefore Kraken have denied me of €1500 easy profit. I'm pissed off to say the least. Even if they offered me the €1500 as compensation, I'd take it and then close my account!

Can you imagine any of us staying with Kraken after this? No, I thought not.

This ain't FUD (that was Polybius which is still below ICO price), it's real and most of us have lost out due to Kraken's major fuck-up!

BTW... My FUDing of Polybius, paid off handsomely, the tokens I bought at $3 recently sold for $13. FUD is good if it makes you money ;-)

Absolutely, "Krappen" will never recover from this. Just make sure you take everything out the moment it's back up before the mass exodus starts. Once people start bailing out, Kraken will lose all revenue and will have to close. I reckon they'll be gone within 2 weeks.

This whole thing stinks of a major hack or an inside job to steal all funds. The "update" is a smoke screen, don't be fobbed off by those cunts.

You must be special, just to simply wish a trade and magically take profit.

Why does that make me special? It ain't rocket science. Thousands have lost money by being unable to trade!

I was going to sell ETH at what I thought was the peak and then buy it back once the whales sold off and drove the price down. If they fucking stayed online when I wanted them to, I would have made about €1500 in about 2 hours. This has happened so many time with those cunts, that I'm taking out the fucking lot as soon as I log in. I've got a new account open with Binance who will hopefully stay online for more than 10 minutes.

Guys... this is serious stuff, Kraken is in deep shit and our funds are NOT safe! They are fobbing us off, they have lost everything, mark my words!

Why would I FUD? I have nothing to gain from this. We all have a lot to LOSE.

Okay, JammyJimmy, we knew now your opinion, and your massive Post.
But now its enough, didnt mean?

They are many Fakts that is not a scam Exit or Fraud.

Just wait... There'll be a big news article about Kraken's crash by Monday. It's obvious something fishy is going on.

When the server was not responding and your 10eth could worth 0 if they were stolen by a massive attack when was a high request on their network :)) you are a genius wanking arround for 10 eth... you just lost the money that you never had :)) we dont know if your trading skills were working it is theoritcally, so basically i rather know my funds are safe than 0. So if you are pissed off you can rage but if you got the info that kraken are stealing our money and you didnt alert the competitive authorities, i think now kraken are laughing and s#iting their pants if you valuable info is true. And beside that if you were informed why didnt moved your funds else were

OMG, can i now sleep Amigo? Without Panik!

What is with Krakens Wallets? Blanco or Full? At which Time they make they empty? Monday? 😀

Wrong! I would've gained €1500 if I traded elsewhere, therefore I'm €1500 worse off due to yet another Kraken fuck-up.

Admit it... You're all withdrawing everything from Kraken as soon as you can log in. I have about £500 of XRP in there and that's moving the moment I can log in and trade. I will then set up a DDoS via VPN proxy (cloudfare bypass) to "test" how good their update is. I bet I can break them without too much trouble. They are NOT getting away with this, I will DESTROY Kraken if it kills me!

 ;D ;D ;D Better start to look after mercenaries to take back your funds from kraken... i am kidding i hope you understand, it is bad but maybe it is not the worse thing that could happen, and by the way i will remain with kraken with my humble funds

Really good idea to write it on a board, police could go faster than kraken update :p


Kraken is not poloniex or other exotic exchange .....
Just look for their information where is the company, where is their bank and so on ....


I don't think kraken is a company really very bad (slow is true, and perhaps some staff to change for better one ...)

yes only IF you can access your fund again! The hope of KRAKEN coming back with our fund is fading away every moment..

Time to change the title of this thread to 168 hours as they'll be offline for at least a week. An expensive lesson will be learned by those that were foolish enough to leave large amounts on Kraken.

Everybody makes the most profitable trades. In retrospect.

They have had a system upgrade a few days back, which might have resulted in some problems. I don't see any reason for people to start speculating about Kraken to never come back. Kraken, if we ignore their recent issues, has always been a solid exchange -- their only problem is that they have badly suffered from the growth in the way that they didn't seem to take it seriously initially. If they would, the recent outage problems causing people to lose precious money making opportunities wouldn't be a huge issue as it has been recently. Their incompetence has made people go through a lot unnecessary hassle and money costing opportunities....

Don't talk crap! Kraken has been unreliable for a very long time and this is the last straw for 99% of us. It's now big news and there's no way that they'll ever recover from this. We have to accept that all funds on Kraken have gone down with the company. Due to lots of expected law suits against them, they'll have no choice but to file for Chapter 11 next week. They have collapsed and will never be seen again. This could force other exchanges to freeze activities until regulation is in place.

This is the "Big One" that'll put an end to easy crypto profits. I'm selling everything this weekend as I now want out. I've made enough money to not have to work again. Others are not so lucky and face financial ruin due to Kraken.

Guys... You might want to tune into Bitcoin News!

It's official... KRAKEN HAS COLLAPSED !!!

The "bug" was placed by a hacker (a Kraken insider) about 6 months ago which has exported all private keys to an external recipient in Russia. As you may understand, Kraken aren't ready to admit this in public, but they will make an announcement on Monday, 15JAN.

The Mt. Gox collapse is now pale in comparison.

Crypto speculation is about to come to a sticky end. We all knew that it was just a matter if time before it all came crashing down. Hopefully some people got out in time, but others have lost everything.

I couldn't wait any longer and I've just sold ALL my crypto via the Binance and Blockchain exchanges with no problems at all. I suggest you all consider selling asap as the crypto collapse is only days away.

I'll be back in the game once the dust settles.

Every exchange has to maintain their site due to the current situation where people in rush to register into several exchanges, even some exchanges have halted new registers.


If Kraken really got hacked, it's a doomsday for their customers. Do not put all eggs in one basket is the right words for this situation, honestly I just put less than $500 in exchanges, just in case such situation happens. Just deposit, do your trading and then withdraw your funds

“Lack of communication from fledgling companies, delays in withdrawals and transfers, high fees, and the creeping fear of a malicious attack are some of the issues largely retail investors face, and discourage many more from jumping in.

With not even a phone number or e-mail listed on Kraken’s status page, the exchange’s clients vented on Twitter.


A Twitter user with the name of Victor M. said "im seriously considering suing kraken. anyone interested as well?" The Tweet got more than 300 likes. A user with the name North Canton Cab Com tweeted to Kraken saying "due to the length of down time can you at least assure us that our coins and accounts are safe and havent been hacked or stolen please, seems beyond any normal circumstance at this point when people are worried sick!"

Others are resorting to humor, with Twitter user @Subbedeius posting "Kraken is the best platform to avoid panic-selling. It just doesn’t work when sh*t hits the fan."


https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-12/crypto-exchange-kraken-goes-dark-and-user-anxiety-surges

You, my friend, shall be a true inspiration to minimal living / downsizing people everywhere, with your YUUUGE amount of 10 ETH that you'll be living the rest of your life on.

That very second when their site goes online again, take your coins out and store it in a wallet with private keys you and you alone control, know and have access to.

An exchange which makes their customers suffer sleepless nights, stomach ulcers and lose their minds worrying about the uncertainty of their assets is an exchange to avoid like the plague.

Yes, it's not good to keep or store coins long term in an exchange and yes it's sometimes necessary to have coins in an exchange account for trading.. I realize and accept this. But what good is it to have coins in an exchange account which often shuts down their trading platform or goes offline?

why would you use an UNLICENSED exchanger when you have regulated ones?  :)

Correct! It just doesn’t matter that an exchange comes back on line days later and everyone has access to their money. They should never have gone off line in the first place.

Would you trust a bank that kept you from accessing your money for days? What if Wells Fargo just turned off all their atms for a couple of days? Would you keep banking at Wells Fargo? I mention Wells Fargo because I had an account there when they were recovering from a major hacking. I never lost access to my money, even for a minute, and every customer that had money drained from their account was reimbursed. Why do bitcoiners expect and allow such pathetic service?

I agree with you, but cryptos completely boomed over the past few months and it must be hard for a company to follow the rythm. There are obviously upgrades, maintenances etc to improve the system. And I don't think kraken has as much money, power & maybe skills as Wells Fargo to do the updates as fast as them. 

I just noticed the status page still shows the Kraken website and API uptime at 100%. It's more like 0%.

https://status.kraken.com/

https://i.imgur.com/NaKcr1b.png

kraken.com has been offline for more than 48 hours now... will they really come back online???

No!

Kraken have now shut down for good and the scammers taken our funds with them!

Look for the Kraken_4 wallet on Etherscan. They have been moving huge sums to this wallet, never from it. The last big transaction was for 180,000 ETH at exactly the same time as their last status update at 20:00 UST last night. Apart from a massive exit plan, why would they stuff all this into only one wallet?

We don't know. Maybe they wanted to try to product test Ethereum wallet working, maybe not. We just have to see what will happen. I don't believe it is a scam.

please provide links to your sources, this is very concerning if your are correct

Why test with 180,000 ETH instead of 1 ETH? I smell a rat and so do lots of others. Kraken have just announced that they are coming back online shortly. I'm waiting for other announcements saying that there's yet another delay and a final one saying that funds have been lost.

Nobody in their right mind will ever trust Kraken again, they are finished!

There are many roumours out there, saying FBI is raiding there, that someone has placed an exploit there several months ago, before the big crypto boom.
If you use google and change the settings to only show informations from the last 24h/48h you will find the romours. I was checking it last time yesterday and there was no information on a website with good reputation, might only be romours. Well let's hope so :)

I don't know. Kraken always delivered good quality and secure product. If they wanted to scam out, they would not take all the hassle like they did these past 2 weeks. It would have been more easy.

I also read your remark about getting back online shortly, but shortly in Kraken language means 'some time in the future'. We just have to see what will happen. There could be 10000 possibilities if I take in account al the crazy theories going on at this moment.

Update

https://status.kraken.com/incidents/nswthr1lyx72


Let's see what happens  :)

As you know when you are on a market/exchange and YOUR PRIVATE keys are their private keys you accept the risk to remain with 0. So stop wanking arround this is IT industry you just clicked I AGREE button. SO PLEASE READ INTEL ME BUG to see how easy can be a server hacked without any security software to see the intrusion again if kraken is down forever our fault, not them

why do you use unlicensed exchangers if you don't like the stress? Smiley

let's not forget that Kraken is based in USA and they have NO financial license. They are not a registered MSB in any state.

Kraken and many other shit exchangers do not offer any protection. Why do you whine on forums when you know very well what kind of website you are using?

again, i am posting few real exchangers :


http://www.avatrade.com/forex/cryptocurrencies/bitcoin

https://www.plus500.com/

https://www.ig.com

www.fxcm.com/


Do you ever hear about any problems with the "trading engine" or about verification or about withdrawal problems? Never Smiley  This is the difference between hipsters/shit/illegal companies and a legit business.

All of these are trading e-currencies too.

@mayax

You have to consider and admit a site like Kraken can be more convenient for some people. For example, with Kraken you can withdraw to your bank account without giving any documents. For me an example I would be happy to send ID documents if it's really needed but I can't, my ID card is considered as not valid because the date expired but the govt. consider it as valid since it changed a law, so no use to change it.
Additionally, there are surely a lot of coins that can't be traded on the website you mentioned.

@backback

Then what? Aren't we allowed to complain or to be worried about our funds? We all know exchanges own the private keys. So what, if it happens with your bank you're not allowed to complain because you don't the money?

Kraken's up

but not working:

Update - Order book data is not being displayed properly. Pausing trading while we investigate.
Jan 13, 11:54 UTC

No it's not, they lied.

Don't worry, it'll be down again for a few more days while they steal even more!

You're the big loser....
You announced here in this topic that kraken had been hacked and that they were going to go bankrupt...

They have just reopened and the funds are there...

Until the date you announced, you benefit from the doubt (15/1/2018) but if on this date, customers can withdraw their funds, I hope you will have the decency to leave this forum...

And if I were kraken I would sue you for the accusations you made here...

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator

i'm not sure kraken is a scam, i don't believe it ...

But i'm now sure YOU are the WORST TROLL i see on the net since more than 20 years :p

WITHDRAW
"Feature Disabled
This feature is not currently available."

The most important feature for me is disabled.  This is what I suspected and this is what happened!  :-[ :-[

Withdrawals are now disabled and will remain disabled for a minimum of 12 hours (during this time we will be monitoring the new system for anomalies)

https://blog.kraken.com/post/1449/kraken-returns-with-free-trading/

when bch is to 16k and btc to 11k ?

Stop joke ....

They need block withdraw for the time to verify all is good ...

And from strat they say withdraw will take more time than site come back up and it's totaly normal ...

this piece of shit of an exchange with a website that looks like from the 00s and the performance/reliability of a 90 yearold trying to get a hardon.

why the fuck did i use this pile of crap to buy xrp,  as soon as they enable withdraw i am gtfo!

And those are just the stuff we can see, imagine how their backend and security looks like, if you are smart you will do the same.

mtgox 2.0

I still DO NOT understand, what the hell did KRAKEN upgrade?   The interface, stability, GUI everything looks exactly same as before.  It is still same slow as before!!

It doesn’t matter what Krackheads do anymore. This thread isn’t in main discussion now. It’s buried five layers deep in Bitcoin Forum/Economy/Marketplace/Service Discussion/Exchanges. No one that’s not already in this thread will ever see it. You may as well turn this thread into a NSFW party.

I've found an obscure trading pair that I hope the Kraken Cretins miss. I stand to make over 100x its market value if they enable orders before they spot this mistake. It's entirely possible as they are incompetent enough and tired enough to miss it. Or course, I ain't telling you lot until I've made the trade and withdrawn the funds. If you were all nice to me, I'd have told you.

From tomorrow, I will no longer be using Kraken and I suggest you all jump ship too! Let's bring them down together!

They say they upgraded their trading engine, but they need to do more work before it starts working as fast as they want.

https://blog.kraken.com/post/1449/

jimmi jimmi jimmi, you are the bigest layer that i see in the internet, in the Internetforum worldwide.
i think you sit with your fat belly and bald head for the Laptop and are angry......

Shame on you, you write shit, and dont help when people ask or are affrayed.

Realy, shame you!


But i must lough when i write this, what you post Yesterday:

......a russian Hacker stole Kraken,

YES Jamie, Yes  :D :D :D

Sorry, can you repeat that in English please.

Hey, you should be honored. People are creating new accounts to fuck with you now. LOL

tssssss, common, try write in German without google translate!!!

i am sure you didnt can this!

google translate can everybody......


Why you are still here? Yesterday you write you are done with "here" and please to delete your account........and now?  

You lose  :D


Why do you not be a Men enough and say/write:

I litle Jimmi was not Right with my Posts, Sorry Guys!

(sorry for my joke with "little" but in my eyes you are so poor and little)

i go now from this englisch speak thread, its not for me, and the Fakts are now cleared, Kraken is now working, no hack or  scam exit.

Really, i knew now, no more 70k euros in coins keep lie on a exchange to trade ;)

by,

Whatever!

Anybody that says they didn't lose profit during Kraken's outage is a liar!

It doesn't matter what I say, but only an idiot would stay with Kraken now.

I did make a lot of money as soon as it came up by doing this:

Buy XBT with ETH.

Buy REP with XBT, but keep refreshing the order page until you see 1 REP = 0.001 XBT and make sure you have the same price when entering 2FA code. Voila! REP for £11.00!

Repeat until you only see 1 REP = 0.006 XBT and then close the order screen.

Log off and on again and keep doing this.

I managed to get over 500 free REP (£37,000 worth) by doing this before Kraken noticed and closed the loophole.

As soon as I could, I moved everything to my cold wallet. Kraken sent me an email telling me off and that they will investigate. I didn't reply and then deleted the email and have now set up a rule to delete all email from Kraken. It serves them right for the shit they caused over the last few days!

Yes, Kraken... I ripped you off so go fuck yourselves!

Oh my God.
i wish you, you find in future still with you and find a way to have a good live and family.

 Moved how? What the fuck are you talking about?

 He couldn't. The withdrawals are disabled.

 And I don't believe his scheme would have worked. If you want to buy tokens, you're buying it from other people, not from Kraken, Kraken is just only a trading platform. So what he possibly could do - buy them cheaper from people that were agreeing to sell it on that price (placed limit orders), there is no crime doing that and no necessity to escape Kraken after these actions. We all do the same - buy at one price and sell at other, every day.

 Strange guy.

Hey all I have some funds stuck on kraken, yesterday I read on here that the withdraws will be disabled for 12 hours it has been over 12 hour s and the withdraws are still disabled, does anyone have an idea on when they will be enabled again?

Thanks

 Here you go, mate:

It will be great to see Kraken get through this challenging period of exponential growth.

Scaling something like this in such a way takes a great deal of effort. More than most people will ever understand.

Easy, by using the Ledger applet. Do you want me to post the blockchain proof?

I'd like to see them go under. What they did this week was unforgiveable. They know full well that a lot will be withdrawing asap. I have my REP left in there and that's being moved the moment I can. Then they can fuck right off! Anybody dealing with Kraken after this are foolish or bonkers.

We can assure you that no funds were lost and all client's funds were and are safe. We were not hacked, as per your previous messages and our new trading engine is live.

Enjoy the free trading (https://blog.kraken.com/post/1449/kraken-returns-with-free-trading/) until the end of the month!

I had just sent $2500 to kraken when it shut down for a cople of days, when it went up again and I signed back up my $ 2500 were still there. I traded them and could withdraw the next day. I kept cool and never panicked, even after reading the alarmist posts on this thread.

Seems like you were exaggerating this news, Kraken was not hacked. You should have some proofs before saying such allegations.
Look at Kraken site now, they even offer free trading fee until the end of the month, everyone have a chance to withdraw their funds now, or just continue their trading activity without have to pay fees.
Kraken surely noticed its users upset over the downtime, especially when markets have been extremely bearish so the company apologized for the downtime. For this reason from now and until January 31, the trading platform is giving customers zero fees for all unleveraged trades until January 31, 2018 (UTC). Additionally, the exchange is reducing margin position fees to 0.005 percent until the end of the month as well.
