Title: 50+ Hours is way too long, it seems something else could be going on at Kraken
Post by: bedroid on January 13, 2018, 09:06:41 AM
I just don't see how Kraken.com can be offline for 50+ hours now. I've been in web development since 2001 and understand how things can get complicated, but this just doesn't make sense what's happening and how its being handled. I'm seriously wondering if they will ever come back online at all...

Youre right.  If they couldn't success, they can run the old version with bugs and 5xx errors.  At least we can withdraw our money.

Maybe they aren't as competent as they seem to be?  ???

The progress of their maintenance  can be seen here: https://status.kraken.com/ and based from it the site will probably relaunch shortly. Let's just hope that we have the same definition of "shortly" lol. Quoting it for you sir.

Update - We are preparing to relaunch the site shortly. All orders have been canceled. More details to come soon.

It's just almost 2 hours since they made this update...

Hi Everyone.

We're so sorry for the delay. There was a much longer delay than expected, but we've finally got Kraken back online.
