https://www.kraken.com/security/auditBig thanks to Stefan Thomas, CTO of Ripple Labs (founder of WeUseCoins.com, BitcoinJS, and Bitcointalk admin), for being our volunteer auditor.Timing didn't work out for Stefan to post this himself but he will confirm as soon as he is available: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 =====BEGIN AUDIT REPORT===== AUDITOR: Stefan Thomas AUDITED ENTITY: Payward, Inc., https://www.kraken.comROOT HASH: 306daae528dc137c9053554c45e90a631ef859490a3ede651d488135602500a3 BLOCK HEIGHT: 289859 RESULT: >100% reserves March 22, 2014 San Francisco This post is to report on an audit I performed for the Kraken Bitcoin exchange on March 11th, 2014 and March 22nd, 2014 at their offices here in San Francisco. I've not received any payment for this audit - my personal goal with this is to help improve the stability of and confidence in the math-based currency industry overall. Statement ========= The audit process is designed to allow the auditor - in this case me, Stefan Thomas - to verify that the total amount of bitcoins held by Kraken matches the amount required to cover an anonymized set of customer balances. I am attesting to is the root hash of a merkle tree containing all balances that were considered in the audit. If you are a customer of Kraken, you'll be able to verify using open-source tools that your balance at the time of the audit is part of this root hash. If it is and if you believe that I am trustworthy, then you can be confident that your balance was covered by 100% reserves at the time of the audit. Compared to audits performed by other exchanges, this approach is very strict while still maintaining absolute privacy for customers. The most difficult part of an audit is normally to verify that the exchange is not under-reporting the number and balances of account holders. With this approach each account holder can verify that they were considered in the audit. Trust in this type of audit still requires trust in the auditor. For now, this will rest on my shoulders, but Kraken have expressed interest in doing regular audits with different auditors each time. This serves to renew the audit and also to increase the confidence in the audit process and the validity of the result. Claims ====== Claim 1: Kraken controls a certain amount of Bitcoins. Proof: Kraken provided a JSON file with a list of their Bitcoin addresses and balances. I used the `cryptoshi audit` command in libcoin to verify the JSON file against a copy of the block chain. The version of libcoin used was commit f8c66accf2af88c039bd7c6678da7a338b8befa0. Here is the audit code used: https://github.com/libcoin/libcoin/blob/f8c66accf2af88c039bd7c6678da7a338b8befa0/applications/cryptoshi/cryptoshi.cpp#L637-691Claim 2: The amount from claim 1 is greater than the amount contained in the root hash of balances. Proof: Kraken provided a binary file containing a set of user balances. This binary file can read and manipulated using the tool "krakendb". The version of krakendb used was commit 78d3504a7d68256a9a664125fa86a224c479ad42 Available at: https://github.com/payward/krakendbTo calculate the sum of all balances in the tree as well as a merkle tree of all balances, I used the "krakendb root" command. The root hash was: 306daae528dc137c9053554c45e90a631ef859490a3ede651d488135602500a3 The actual holdings were very slightly (< 0.5%) above the required holdings, meaning Kraken had greater than 100% reserves at the audit block height. // Stefan Thomas =====END AUDIT REPORT===== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTLkKtAAoJEMlHNwCksIvzZkkP/04wdVeyYd8kKMJWKl1nP1OG 6PD1C01NdOTvsyrRUd9/h2mRc4xmH+IC5WwjhrTStOiiUIKarGb/MlHC5JsMXbQm +NtxL8+Kbjk0DITCbydEur9udKIWi/CG/ja4aMT1jfOoMqtCNcRLl/4BjsOKUNXS GZBP0rZTE1yqqlN/rAulQvqeoytWx6LMl9F2qoJ+EZflIRsykJPt8kXNZJudK3nR yfNzvqa4gHoD07uIxPzTuQJXX4trGXW9K1mXsNJxqIjbR+seEANJMAS4G367Q7D8 quyhAXH8HEEk+isXHa9YXWAe1wgzV9TCYf5yoM+Ki3iWN+CcqSNAGvRAs11Vwjyt BplgUeN+yyRLvw4cfhvn7cyBmrDBMsKo9sG5yS+Ql6HC7M4+PXp8UaR+DySgttVS khRuSyiTssmDr/poUwx4R3jj9sn9QoUXMQTHgY56x0YO2TDHlaW/aA2uE6gSABXG VPIoCKoukjy+W4Q4FSnpYpAQtmWRnsm63DlsMLDZvVg/45uu3/7AmKxtkvkAwwFA vMZCIhK+VzEZT59A59JO5w/DMglsEZDXXOPV3/G0bR5+P8bpnH2W9BKOIeXtxFGn 360FF9TP2mMfQUCaqa9piLpNokGs8Nl8fb5S9+lxHkqPgw0ZikbmyLcf1h7bXx4W ssacpTH1s0f5fAiIR5Uo =zu+r -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

For immediate distribution: February 24th, 2014 -- 7:00 PM PST
The purpose of this document is to summarize a joint statement to the Bitcoin community regarding Mt.Gox.
This tragic violation of the trust of users of Mt.Gox was the result of one company’s abhorrent actions and does not reflect the resilience or value of bitcoin and the digital currency industry. There are hundreds of trustworthy and responsible companies involved in bitcoin. These companies will continue to build the future of money by making bitcoin more secure and easy to use for consumers and merchants. As with any new industry, there are certain bad actors that need to be weeded out, and that is what we are seeing today.
We are confident, however, that strong Bitcoin companies, led by highly competent teams and backed by credible investors, will continue to thrive, and to fulfill the promise that bitcoin offers as the future of payment in the Internet age.
In order to re-establish the trust squandered by the failings of Mt. Gox, responsible bitcoin exchanges are working together and are committed to the future of bitcoin and the security of all customer funds. As part of the effort to re-assure customers, the following exchanges will be coordinating efforts over the coming days to publicly reassure customers and the general public that all funds continue to be held in a safe and secure manner: Coinbase, Kraken, BitStamp, Circle, and BTC China.
We strongly believe in transparent, thoughtful, and comprehensive consumer protection measures. We pledge to lead the way.
Bitcoin operators, whether they be exchanges, wallet services or payment providers, play a critical custodial role over the bitcoin they hold as assets for their customers. Acting as a custodian should require a high-bar, including appropriate security safeguards that are independently audited and tested on a regular basis, adequate balance sheets and reserves as commercial entities, transparent and accountable customer disclosures, and clear policies to not use customer assets for proprietary trading or for margin loans in leveraged trading. It does not appear to any of us that MtGox followed any these essential requirements as a financial services provider.
The following industry leaders stand by this statement:
Fred Ehrsam — Co-founder of Coinbase
Jesse Powell — CEO of Kraken
Nejc Kodrič — CEO of Bitstamp.net
Bobby Lee — CEO of BTC China
Nicolas Cary — CEO of Blockchain.info
Jeremy Allaire — CEO of Circle

https://www.pathofexile.com/purchaseSo, we've got 1 day and 16 hours left to do this from the time of this post. I spoke to Chris Wilson of Grinding Gear Games, the indie game shop out of New Zealand, developers of the ARPG Path of Exile about this and he's willing to accept bitcoin for the purchase of the 'Ruler of Wraeclast' supporter pack. This will allow the community to design one unique item, and one monster. The catch is that they've gotta fit within the game thematically.. so I was thinking something like Satoshi's Blocky Chain Gloves, or Nakamoto's Itty Bitty Coin, or Dread Pirate Ross, or some play with the stats having 'chance for extra block', stuff like that. I think it'd be a cool way to introduce Bitcoin to a huge usergroup in a game that is totally awesome and will be played for years to come. I'll start by putting in 10 BTC. If anyone else want to contribute, please post here and PM me and I'll give you an address to help. Once we've reached the level of funding necessary, we can start work on designing the item and monster! If we get enough to do more than one, we'll do more. So, we need 69 BTC in total. I've put in 10 and that leaves us 59 remaining to raise. Let's do this! Also posted to reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1oxxbc/help_create_bitcoin_monster_and_item_in_indie/

新闻稿 Kraken.com 向欧盟地区独家合作伙伴 Fidor Bank AG 提供数字货币兑换服务 伦敦，2013 年 10 月 9 日 Kraken 数字货币兑换开发商 Payward Ltd. 今天宣布，其计划与 Fidor Bank（一家总部位于慕尼黑的创新型网上银行领导企业）合作，向欧盟地区的 Kraken 客户提供一整套传统金融服务。此次合作将成为获授权、投保和监管银行与数字货币兑换公司之间的首次联袂。 Payward Ltd. 的首席执行官 Jesse Powell 说：“从一开始，我们的目标便是建立比特币和其他数字货币，将其作为对欧元、英镑及其他由政府发行的传统货币的合法补充。在 Fidor Bank，我们找到了心目中的理想合作伙伴：一家负责任、有远见的金融机构，希望将传统银行业务关系的可预见性和稳定性与新型数字货币的社会和经济效益结合起来。我们非常高兴，能把这些服务带给欧盟地区的客户，并期待与世界各地的金融业合作伙伴和监管当局协作，在全球范围内提供这些服务。” Fidor 与 Kraken 的合作符合其商业战略。 Fidor Bank AG 的首席执行官 Matthias Kröner 解释道：“我们的长远目标是为我们的业务伙伴和私人客户带来重要的市场创新。数字货币的新兴是作为政府发行货币的一种重要且有用的替代方式。借助 Kraken，我们的客户便可像他们今天使用其他外币进行交易那样，安全、方便且灵活地进行比特币和其他数字货币交易。” 根据拟定的合作协议，Kraken 将成为 Fidor Bank 在整个欧盟地区数字货币交易和支付服务的独家提供商（除了德国市场，因为 Fidor 已与一家德国兑换公司建立有限合伙关系），届时，Kraken 有能力向其欧盟客户提供一整套的 Fidor 银行服务。 Powell 先生希望两家企业能够建立更多此类合作。“其他银行一旦知道 Fidor 进入数字货币领域，我敢肯定许多家也会想涉足这个领域。在金融服务中使用数字货币潜力巨大，能够使全世界的客户和企业收益。在完全遵守适用法律和法规的情况下，这种合作关系的建立标志着已在将这些服务引入全球金融服务市场的道路上迈出了重要一步。” 关于 Payward Ltd.： Payward 集合了其在虚拟商品和货币市场的多年经验、一只技艺精湛的工程团队，以及大量悉心建立的银行及金融业关系。 Kraken ( https://www.kraken.com) – Payward 旗下的全功能专业数字货币兑换和交易平台 – 提供先进的交易工具、复杂的用户界面和强大的技术安全支持，并且完全符合比特币、Ripple 币和 Ven 币等数字货币的交易商监管法规。自 2013 年 9 月 9 日公开发布以来，成千上万的用户已经在 Kraken 这个平台成功注册。 Kraken 将这一成就归功于其强大的用户界面、严格的监管合规和大量专业的高级指令类型（这是历经两年开发的成果）。 新闻联络人： AyakoMiyaguchi | Payward Ltd.| 伦敦 | info@payward.com - Facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/krakenfx) - Twitter ( http://www.twitter.com/krakenfx) 关于 Fidor Bank AG： Fidor Bank AG ( http://www.fidor.de) 是一家基于互联网的直接银行，并授权在德国开展业务。该银行凭借 FidorPay 账户以私人和企业客户为目标。 FidorPay 账户是一个基本银行账户，同时提供可网上支付的传统银行账户及创新银行服务。向企业客户提供的服务包括精选金融产品以及专门为电子商务创建的 FidorPay 企业账户。 Fidor Bank AG 始终如一地采用 Web 2.0 机制。为了与用户进行互动和交流，银行利用其自身社区以及所有流行的社交媒体平台，包括： - YouTube ( http://www.youtube.com/user/FidorCommBanking) - Facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/fidorbank) - Twitter ( http://www.twitter.com/ficoba) - XING ( https://www.xing.com/net/ficoba) |

I’m happy to announce that today, after 4 months of public testing, Kraken is moving on from beta. Live trading is now open and available. I hope you enjoy the service.Pairs available to trade:XBT/USD XBT/EUR XBT/XRP USD/XRP EUR/XRP USD/XVN EUR/XVN XBT/XVN XBT/LTC LTC/USD LTC/EUR LTC/XRP XBT/NMC NMC/USD NMC/EUR NMC/XRP KRW/XRP LTC/KRW NMC/KRW XBT/KRW EUR/XDG LTC/XDG NMC/XDG USD/XDG XBT/XDG ETH/XBT ETH/USD ETH/EUR ETH/GBP ETH/JPY ETH/CAD Services that appeared in Beta that are not available at launch:GBP pairs Margin trading If all goes according to plan ( as usual), we’ll reintroduce these services within 1 month. Customer service:I like to follow Tony Hsieh’s advice to under-promise and over-deliver. We’ve had a few thousand users in beta for a few months and we think we’ve got most of the kinks worked out but we didn’t have to deal with funding and KYC in beta either. It is our intent to make this a relatively quiet launch and slow rollout in order to give ourselves time to scale our staff according to our service demands. If you’re among the first, you’re among the brave and we appreciate your patience and help in getting us started. For that, we offer you discounted trading fees, and love, of course—at least during the first month  Communication channels:site: https://support.kraken.comemail: support@kraken.comTwitter: @KrakenFX Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KrakenFXReddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/KrakenBitcointalk: btcx, Dargo, klausblBug Bounty continues:At this point, we’re only paying for security problems but we appreciate any bug reports. More on the bug bounty: https://www.kraken.com/security/bug-bountyRegulatory situation:Our business is compliance, and we have this exchange we sometimes work on in our spare time. Payward has led the charge in the formation of DATA and we are committed to operating only where we can operate legally. As a consumer, you may find this inconvenient and as a business it does put us at an immediate competitive disadvantage. The industry has, unfortunately, seen where shortcuts take us and our long view is that the only way out is through. Bank situation:You’d think once you’ve got full written clearance from regulators that banks would just open you up an account but it ain’t so. Turns out banks are extremely concerned about “reputational risk” and skittish about touching anything remotely related to Bitcoin. It took months and months of globetrotting and dead ends to find even one bank that would work with us. Now we’ve got a few but there is always the chance that one or all of them will arbitrarily close our accounts. That said, we’ve got good relationships, our banks know exactly what we’re doing and we’re operating legally wherever we’re operating. Jurisdictions serviced at launch:In most US states, including California and New York, we offer no services. In some US states we offer Digital Currency <-> Digital Currency trading. In fewer US states we offer DC <-> National Currency trading. In most of the world we offer both DC<->DC trading and DC<->NC trading. In no part of the world do we offer NC<->NC trading. There are a few countries, including Germany, that have shown a particular interest in DC recently where we have opted not to operate until we have explicit regulatory clearance. Some countries deemed high AML risk, including Afghanistan and Iran, are not serviced whatsoever at this time. We recognize that many countries with the highest risk ratings are among those who would see the greatest benefit from currency choice but we have to pick our battles. Upon registration, your confirmation email will inform you of the services available to you at this time. Getting verified:The law requires we know who you are and where you are. Lube up—this is going to be no different than opening a bank account. If you’re looking to launder money anonymously, I hear World of Warcraft has no AML/KYC requirements. Tier 0 – you can poke around but you can’t deposit, withdraw or make any trades. Tier 1 – you can deposit, withdraw and trade in digital currency only. Tier 2 – you can deposit, withdraw and trade in both digital currency and national currency. Tier 3 – like Tier 2 but with higher funding limits. (may take a few days to process) Tier 4 – like Tier 3 but with even higher funding limits. Processing – your verification information is being reviewed. Processing may be delayed for any of the following reasons: IP address and stated jurisdiction mismatch, user under minimum age requirement, unable to verify name, unable to verify address, unable to read document scans/photos, unable to verify notarization. Verified – you’ve passed verification and your account is functioning at the highest ‘Verified’ tier. Pre-Verified – you’ve passed verification but your account activity is limited to a lower tier pending regulatory approval in your jurisdiction. For example, if you live in California, you may be Pre-Verified to Tier 3 but your account will be functioning at Tier 0 until we have clearance for CA, at which time your account will be automatically upgraded to Verified Tier 3. Other stuff:All beta accounts have been wiped and users will be required to register new accounts. If you’ve been using the API, you will need to switch over from api.beta.kraken.com to api.kraken.com. Questions?Post 'em if you got 'em. Sign up for an account at https://kraken.com
