I use Kraken for the first time at the weekend.  
Was not smooth experience.  
Yesterday I made a withdrawal request for some EUR and then nothing.  No confirmation email.  
So today I spend 30 mins trying to log in but get pushed out by Cloud flare despite being on the same computer.  (right now I cant log in at all)
Eventually I log in and see my Euros still sitting there.  
I understand the transfer can take up to 5 business days but how long is it until Krakan ACTUALLY start the request?!  
They have my money.

Does the withdrawal page show the withdrawal request?  If the funds are still counted in your account, then the funds haven't been deducted for the withdrawal request.  I would try to create the withdrawal request again.  Maybe the first request failed to be recorded by Kraken's servers (bad HTTP request?  Cloud flare issue?).

I started a withdrawal request last month (still waiting for the funds to arrive), and I am sure the funds were deducted right away, before they even accepted the request.

I have been waiting a month for a CAD withdrawal to go through.  The withdrawal has been stuck in the "sending" status for a month.

Created a support request 2 weeks ago, but they didn't really help at all, just kept sending the same reply and closing my request.

Then they requested that I attach a screenshot of my bank account, but the support website doesn't support attachments and replying to the support emails doesn't do anything.  Asking for a screenshot of my bank account, seems to me to just be a way do delay doing any real work on the request.

A screenshot of my bank account is not going to show any useful information.  I had already included full details of my bank information and the withdrawal when I opened the request.

Please take a look at request #425160 (a follow-up of my original request).  #387314 was the original request I opened, but was closed and marked as resolved even though the issue hasn't been resolved.

I am about ready to try to fill a complaint against "Kraken Client Engagement" person "Will", since he just cared about marking my request a resolved, instead of doing any real work.  Customer really shouldn't have to be coming to a public forum to get someone to take their support request seriously.

Thanks,
Robert G. J.

You might try slaving your hard drive to a second computer and using some file recovery software to try to recover the wallet.dat.  Of course, I would advise immediately ceasing use of the computer (just powering it off with the power button would be better than shutting down, lest the wallet file be overwritten by some files that are written during shutdown).  A decent piece of software might cost $50.

If that doesn't work, there are professional labs that will read the actual data on the disk, if it hasn't already been overwritten.  A decent lab would cost $1000 or so.  Don't cheap out on this if you try it.  I did, and I regret it, a lot.

And beyond that, if you use a mechanical hard drive, forensics labs can actually tell what bits were written to a given sector BEFORE the current bits, because the previous bits leave some sort of magnetic bias behind.  That's why military erasing standards dictate that a drive must be overwritten 7 times with random bits before the data that was on it is considered securely erased.  I have no idea what it might cost to get a forensics expert to look at your drive though.

Unfortunately, I securely deleted the plain text wallet before I realized there was an issue, so it was probably overwritten many times with random bits.  I was basically following the steps I found in a thread describing how to create a secure savings wallet.   Cry

Even if you can't recover the Private-key for the receiving address, keep both your wallet backups safe and don't give-up and delete them.  The BTCs might still be unclaimed by the address that you lost, maybe in the future the network rules will be changed to allow old (1 year, 6 months) unclaimed transactions to be reversed.  I really think this should be possible.  It will require a change to most of the bitcoin clients on the network before any block containing a "return unclaimed BTCs" transaction will be accepted.

Lookup the sending/receiving address on http://blockexplorer.com/ and find the transaction/block that contains the lost BTCs.

Also I think that new wallets should default to returning change back to the sending address, let people that want anonymous transactions to change to the current method of sending change to a new address.
