Hello
I have an ETC question.  I tranferred some ETC from Coinbase to Kraken over a day ago.  Well, I started the transfer.  CUrrently there are about 10k confirmations.  Kraken states ETC requires 40k confirmations before a deposit can be traded.

At this rate, it looks like it could be a week before my transfer is complete.

Is this normal?  I have to say, this seems pretty prohibitive.  Shouldnt crypto be faster than an old School Bank transfer?
