Weird, it's like if we are talking about 2 different exchanges, I have the total opposite experience with Kraken and I'm a bit old user (maybe since 2014-15). I was still here even when the site was unusable for months, I was hitting this fucking F5 button to refresh the page like a freak lol

I left Kraken last year due to their extremely bad service, but most important due to their unreliable trade engine. A buddy of mine told me that things were going better so I re-started trading on Kraken a month or 2 ago. However, the faults (even though they were a bit less often) were the same as when I left, maybe a bit less than last year, so one could argue that it was almost on an acceptable level. Nonetheless, from my perspective they did not solve an ancient problem. And from this week on we are definitely at the same level as last year.
And about the support, they give the same dronish answers as before, they might have gotten faster at replies, but the quality is even less than before. A social bot would suffice. And even worse, Kraken uses the same type of excuse for their bad service as the last time, only this time they have a fancy new website. So no, nothing has really changed at Kraken over the past year(s). ROFL. It is the same shitty trade engine and the same sort of dronish support without any relevant competence nor interest to actually solve these problems. But have fun trading there. I will just take the profits from this week, and move my funds to better and more reliable exchanges. (as also Totscha advises)
@LeGaulois: There is an almost countless number of exchanges which have better trade engines. Maybe they had some issue is in the past, but at least they fixed the issues and one can now reliably place and cancel orders without problems, even at the highest volume peaks.

@CryptoTeng
They did a major update on the trading engine last year. Personally, everything is running smoothly since. As for its support, well I contacted them 3 times last week and they replied within minutes with efficiency. And not with a generic/canned reply copy pasted like some others.
@Totscha
Kraken is here for a long time now. Ok, they got a horrible period at a time but hey, which exchange platform hasn't?

Hey, I've been with them since the start. And they still use the same horrible default trading UI they had in 2013. Not sure why they don't switch to the new one that's been available for a while and is actually usable. Every other exchange has made great UI improvements during this time.
The other thing is their performance. It was decent in 2013. Then during the 2014-2016 bear market it was periodically awful (unworkable for a few hours every few days). When the crazy 2017 bull market started, the site just died. And it was dead for several months (nov-feb), completely useless. I transfered some crypto there at the beginning of the bull market and was unable to trade at the peak. It took me 5-6 hours of tries to make a single withdrawal to Bitstamp where I was actually able to trade. We warned them that their site had performance issues at peaks for two years before that, but they just didn't want to invest in better infrastructure.
If you plan to sell during the next peak, steer clear of Kraken

Those issues are probably not update related, as they have been present long before the update and are regularly happening. And these issues have been going on for years, just proving that Kraken does not take care of the important problems.
Almost every other exchange provides a better and more reliable trading engine and a more competent service team than Kraken.
Again, STAY AWAY. LOL Kraken-Chase, just another Septimus.

Nice to see you back from your year long slumber. Bullish!
The problem with Kraken is the same MtGox had. The CTO and CEO are one person. They've had Steve Hunt as CTO on paper for over a year now, but it all looks like Powell just can't let go...

A number of users have reported experiencing funding delays, as well as issues with our API today. While we have implemented a number of upgrades to the website and trading engine, our development team is continuing to investigate these issues and we hope to have them resolved soon.

Attention to all Kraken users and people wanting to use the platform.
Kraken's trade engine on Cryptowatch as well as using API calls is not worth the effort. STAY AWAY if you do not absolutely need to trade there.
Endless error messages, often being unable to place and/or cancel orders. In addition there have been serious funding issues in the past, in particular massive delay in funds transactions. Maybe these are solved right now, but just look at this thread in the past. But usually Kraken does not give a damn when a customer experiences problems. They even keep the trade engine running while knowing that the are massive problems for their users. Could be a schema to rip them off, who knows.
From experience in the past it can be said that Kraken has one of the worst service teams in cryptoland, and their trade engine is even worse. For years they know about several mayor issues, and so far they have not solved any of the problems.
Dont say you have not been warned when you have read this post.

Right I see that. I don't want 2FA on everything, that seems excessive and annoying. I just want the prompt to go away. Are you saying I have to have 2FA on for every option to make it stop?
not.you,
At the moment, yes. We recognize the new panel's behavior can be a bit annoying for many users so we hope to tweak this in the next update. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Can we please remove the "Finish setting up your Kraken account" nag from the website? It apparently wants me to do step three "Secure Your Funds" which is setup 2FA but I have been using google auth for login 2FA for quite a long time. If I click the "Secure" button which is what it presumably is nagging me to do, then I end up on the security tab with a nag to setup the "global settings lock" but after looking at it I choose not to. So how do I make the "Finish setting up your Kraken account" nag go away? I obviously do not need to "Finish setting up my Kraken account" as I have been using it for literally years already.
Hi there. There are also options to set up 2FA for funding and trading, and an option to set a Master Key. You can find more information about these other 2FA methods here: https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000426923-Secure-your-account-with-Two-factor-Authentication-2FA-
After setting up all available security methods, the prompt will stop popping up.

Please note that Kralken-RJ is NOT affiliated with Kraken and is looking to scam Bitcointalk users. The user has been reported to the forum moderators - thank you!
Update: Please be on the lookout for phishing scams and beware of users that are similar to ours that promise coin giveaways, if you send them a deposit first. It's important to note that Kraken will never ask you for your username or password. When assisting our users, we may ask for your Public Account ID (found under the Settings: Account tab) and support request number, however.
While we are always open to adding new digital assets and pairs to our exchange, we never announce in advance which ones will be listed. Keep in mind that new assets and trading pairs are typically announced on our blog and Twitter, however.

Given the latest Tether FUD (or not FUD, w/e), is Kraken considering to support other stablecoin pairings?
Such as TrueUSD for instance?
That would be, afaik among the first TUSD/Fiat pairs to exist.
Thank you.

Kraken will be listing Cosmos (ATOM)
ATOM trading starts April 22.
Funding and Trading start time
Cosmos plans to enable ATOM transfers at block 500,000, expected at approximately 8am PST (4pm UTC) on Monday the 22nd. Kraken will enable funding and trading shortly after transfers go live. Clients will be able to place buy orders as soon as trading is enabled, but sell orders will not start appearing until after the first ATOM deposits clear. Extra caution is required when trading a newly listed asset - see the caution about trading below for more information.
The start time is approximate. Check the status page for updates around the time of the launch.
Will the asset be available on Kraken Pro?
Clients will be able to trade ATOM on both Kraken and at Kraken Pro. If you haven’t tried Kraken Pro yet, we highly recommend it. Most clients prefer it for the improved UI, integrated charts and tools. Also, it supports mobile trading (go to https://trade.kraken.com/ on your mobile device and select “Trading” in the bottom right to get started).
What about margin trading?
Margin trading will not be available at launch for Cosmos (ATOM), but may be enabled in the future.
What about futures and indices?
Kraken Futures and Kraken Indices will not support Cosmos (ATOM) at launch, but we will reassess as the spot markets become more developed.
What about OTC block trades?
Kraken’s OTC desk will support Cosmos (ATOM) at launch.
Cosmos is a Proof-of-Stake blockchain interoperability project based on the Tendermint consensus protocol. It comprises a decentralized network of independent, parallel blockchains, each powered by the core consensus protocol, with constituent and derivative blockchains within the Cosmos ecosystem understood as "zones" operating in proximity to the principal.
Additionally, Cosmos and Tendermint aim to reduce the time and complexity involved in building Blockchain applications, providing stable interface for popular programming languages.
To learn more about the Cosmos listing, check out our blog post .

Would you comment on that? What is needed to re-add NMC ?

vane91,
Here is additional information on why we delisted Namecoin: https://blog.kraken.com/post/235/kraken-delists-namecoin/
The reason was ultimately attributed to low trading volumes.

How does a 24 hour volume of $8500 grab you? And that's for the entire market.
Why would anyone bother maintaining infrastructure for something that dead? It's been on its way out for a very long time.
The idea of NMC is very cool. All the same it's safe to say it is a failure.

Kraken is Delisting BSV
Cryptocurrency is about creating a better world. At Kraken, we take this mission seriously. Our focus is on delivering the freedom digital currencies offer. Freedom from centralized systems, financial freedom and critically, freedom from oppression. Our vision of the future doesn’t work unless it works for everyone.
Over the last few months, the team behind Bitcoin SV have engaged in behaviour completely antithetical to everything we at Kraken and the wider crypto community stands for. It started with fraudulent claims, escalating to threats and legal action, with the BSV team suing a number of people speaking out against them. The threats made last week to individual members of the community were the last straw.
This aggression will not stand. Alongside other upstanding members of the community, and in consultation with more than 70,000 Kraken users, we have decided to delist Bitcoin SV. Deposits will be disabled April 22. Trading will cease on all trading pairs April 29. Withdrawals will continue until May 31.
A secure, sustainable and trustworthy ecosystem is only possible if community members live by these values. Crypto’s future is bright. There is no room for bad actors. We appreciate the community’s support as we work together to create the world we want to see.
The above announcement can also be found in our most recent blog post: https://blog.kraken.com/post/2274/kraken-is-delisting-bsv/
