Newbie question on Kraken

[Winstar78]

Hi all,
I've loaded an amount in BCH on Kraken, I've 2 questions:

If I want to convert all of it in another currency, ie. BTC or ETH and then make a cash out, how can I do it?

If I want to trade a pair not linked with BCH for example BTC/ETH can I do it or I have to buy BTC first? Or is it automatic?

Thanks a lot.

This is not related to Currency Exchange better you go to Kracken official thread which is available in Service Discussion Exchanges hope they will give you all answers with details now Move this to related section good luck

He arrived at the right place now.

The current situation on Kraken, today 11/8 looks like the following: API seems to be workable, but webpage throwing lots of 504 errors.
Better hurry up doing your conversion! They announced (well, vaguely) upping their backend because of these issues. Means "possible downtime for days" soon.

Always use BTC as a base currency for reaching Ethereum or other alts.
You could try Poloniex, they got side markets based upon other currencies.

I am so tired of Kraken Cloudfare page and getting errors messages. I thought they fixed this long time ago. But NO, each time there is something happening with Bitcoin It becomes like impossible to do something. It's like 1 hour I am trying to do simple things that normally take 5 seconds. API method is not for me. They were supposed to update their site or something like that, humm when it was? August? We're in November

Most of bitcoin related exchanges have many issues and they are not caring about this its very strange they need to do very quickly and right now this community is spreading very quickly if they are not fixing these issues then they are going in more troubles I am waiting for few hours and its still have many errors not solving this all

Kraken had a major trading engine upgrade in early January. Connectivity is much better and trading has been running very smoothly ever since. If you haven't tried Kraken lately, please drop by and check out our new trading interface at trade.kraken.com.

Please stop by our Bitcointalk thread if you need anything else!
