Guys, everything is on the Kraken's blog https://blog.kraken.com/post/1449/kraken-returns-with-free-trading/What is operational and what isn't, what about the deposits etc. I guess they still need time to get back the website fully operational. You can consider to wait up to Monday at least. So far I haven't seen any 5xx error page which is exceptional  |

The Blockchain will be more used than Bitcoin regarding fighting the corruption. Honduras is a country giving the perfect example. The country’s land registry ledger system is based on a blockchain. Before that, the system was hacked very often and people were getting a land for free.
You can use the blockchain technology for almost everything, the only problem is the size so in the long run, it can require a huge amount of storage
I have more hopes for the blockchain technology than Bitcoin, when it's about help the world

I am not able to understand, where is the fun if only people working for over 20 years are eligible for this bonus? And if Walmart is raising wages from $9 (?) to $11 but at the same time closing 63 Sam's Club stores. It looks like only good for the company but nothing for the workers.

You have to consider and admit a site like Kraken can be more convenient for some people. For example, with Kraken you can withdraw to your bank account without giving any documents. For me an example I would be happy to send ID documents if it's really needed but I can't, my ID card is considered as not valid because the date expired but the govt. consider it as valid since it changed a law, so no use to change it.
Additionally, there are surely a lot of coins that can't be traded on the website you mentioned.

Then what? Aren't we allowed to complain or to be worried about our funds? We all know exchanges own the private keys. So what, if it happens with your bank you're not allowed to complain because you don't the money?

Yesterday I have read an article that talked about the value of bitcoin, saying that the price will rise sharply in January and February. Because we are in a period where traders are receiving their dividends from last year and a large part of them will invest in bitcoin with it.
Their dividends are often around $100,000 or more, so if it turns to be right and we see a lot of them investing in cryptos it will surely help

updateWe will be working through the weekend to get the site back up as soon as possible. Yes, this upgrade is for our trading engine which will reduce the amount of 5xx errors. It is taking so long because we want to make sure the upgrade is rolled out safely.
As for that update, we fully understand the serious nature of this upgrade. Our dev team was working for 20+ hours straight at the time of that post, and may have been a result of sleep depravation. Wonderful, now we need to scrape Reddit to get a news, we have nothing on status.kraken.com or twitter. We now enter into a treasure hunt |

You can always give it a try, especially if you don't have any other options, but don't be optimistic, to be honest

You need to prove the ownership of your account. And to do this you can use a bitcoin address previously posted in the forum/associated with the account (i.e.
Stake your Bitcoin address here, and by signing a message with the address and then send it to Cyrus or Theymos |

Could it be because the crypto community is more active on Twitter than Facebook? A good indicator can be to compare several bitcoin news websites and see their ratio twitter-facebook. There are surely some sales to make on FB but maybe less.
BTW, what is the audience you target on FB?

I understand him somehow. I myself have trouble finding valuable topics to read, or having a normal discussion with users. And when I see an interesting topic and start to read, 80% is filled with stupid posts (bitcoin is good so it will go to the moon and because the moon bitcoin will shine it's the best crypto, bitcoin is freedom and so bitcoin is awesome) When you read 20-30 posts like this one, you don't even remember the original topic. For the same thing, people open 4-5 different topics making several duplicate topics, while you just need to search before and if there is already a topic, stick with it Moderators are wasting their time as well, I don't want to know the nightmare they get. I think they can update their curriculum vitae with Daycare manager, kindergarten supervisor, etc...  |

It's a good thing for the future to be honest. Bitwala will be stronger and more independent with a white-label banking. The only problem is that it's just happened suddenly without warning. The team will make Bitwala better than before for sure, keep it up guys. Q: Bitwala was working with Fidor Bank? |

This is impressive for sure. Binance has also surpassed Coinbase in trading volume. They can make a real difference between cryptos exchanges if the company is able to manage its growth wisely and not like some others (with an outdated engine, useless customers support,...)
We need more serious and reliable players

Some times this happens only to protect our accounts from being hacked. So, don't hate, try to understand.
Too late, it was hacked before the update which is why it failed. Accounts may be OK, but most funds have gone. From where have you get this? Or what makes you think the site was hacked? Is that some kind of rumors which people repeat on the web without understanding? I am really curious to know what you heard about this exactly |

Same here, my coins haven't moved. It's not going to make me more confident until I see Kraken's website online again. While the week end is starting I doubt we will see something done before Monday.
If they can't update the site, then stop it, take the site back online and try again when you're sure to be able to perform the upgrade

Don't worry you are not alone, I am in the same shoe. I was off for 2-3 days and this morning I noticed the website is down and wasn't aware the site will be offline.
After all the horrible stories we saw before with exchanges like MTGox, Crypty, BTC-e... everything is possible unfortunately :/

@testbug
I am not an IT guy but I think when you clone the machine and use it as a test environment to install an update, you can't simulate the users activities so you maybe can't be sure how it goes when it's in live..
What I am worried about is the maintenance page. The page is so ugly and unprofessional, why as a supposed serious company don't you install at least a more friendly maintenance page....
And then come to my mind: why do you want a more friendly page when everyone left the office and are not planning on coming back
