Finally, after writing above post, the namecoin arrived.

Yes, I do trust them and I'm sure in the end everything will be alright. But what about the money we lost because funds were held for 36 hours and price dropped significantly by that time? Will they compensate for that?

I'm new to Bitcoin and Litecoin (I know, I know, I should have gotten involved sooner, I've been watching Bitcoin for over a year), and just started purchasing through Coinbase (great so far), and trading on BTC-E (great so far).  Here's my problem, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same issue:

I created an account on Kraken so that I could trade BTC/LTC in a less liquid market than BTC-E to get my feet wet.  Nothing big, about ~.3 BTC, to compliment the ~BTC.3 I had on BTC-E.  I withdrew 6 LTC from BTC-E, and sent it to my Kraken LTC address.  And nothing.  I verified the transaction on http://explorer.litecoin.net/ and it showed up quickly.  But in Kraken, not a peep.  When I deposited Bitcoin into Kraken, they detected the transaction instantly, and the funds became available after the transaction was verified on the blockchain.  But with Litecoin, Kraken completely failed to detect the transaction.  I've re-checked the address 10 times now to be sure, and I got everything correct.

Is this an issue with Kraken? An issue with Litecoin? Their customer service team is completely unresponsive, and now I'm worried that my Litecoin has just been vaporized.  Anyone with experience in this?

Much thanks!
