Regarding the leverage trading. Where are the funds coming from for the long/short positions? Can I lend my money in return for interest like on bitfinex? If so how and where?
Thanks!

I just had a Live Chat with Kraken Customer Support, and I have learned that Kraken itself is currently providing all liquidity used for margin trading.
They are looking into setting up a P2P lending system similar to bitfinex in the future, although there is no ETA yet.
[Chat screenshot below]

So Kraken is continuing to be moving forward and carefully implementing new services that work, that is good news.
It's by far the best exchange/btc-trading platform on the market today in my opinion.

Oh that was very kind of you asking, thanks!

Well would have been nice if we could generate interest. Currently using Bitfinex, but I would rather be using kraken as they have 100% of my trust!

Hi All - we are currently having a technical issue that is affecting all funding services including bitcoin and euro payments. I don't have an ETA for when the issue will be resolved at this time, but I will let you know when I have more information.

Funding services are back online. We apologize for the inconvenience. Digital currency payments should get resent, but if your payment still appears to be stuck, contact support. Bank payments will not be delayed, except for Fidor-Fidor payments, which should be going through now.

Hi, I just signed up for an account, and I have a suggestion

All, or nearly all of my bills are paperless now. This means I can download them in pdf. You dont take pdf, so I converted the first page to .png and tried to upload. The file size was too small? So I scanned it in jpg with a portable scanned and was finally able to upload. It took a while to figure out how to convert the document, which wasn't even accepted.

Its not a huge deal, but it would be nice if you guys would take pdf's.

Anyway looks like a great service, will be trying it out soon.

Welcome to Kraken! Thanks for the suggestion - we do plan to accept PDFs, but it takes special precautions to accept PDFs securely, so it's more of a development project than you might think.

Thank you very much for your answer.

I'll do that. By the way tiers 1-3 are already verified, it's the 4th i am trying to accomplish.

Regards

I see - choose "Verification (Tier 4)" for the category then.

Is there an easy way to see what is available per currency in my account for trading? I thought this info was available at one point, but I can't find now?

[...]

You have to go to Funding/withdraw and click on each currency to see how much is still available for trading/withdraw.

That works, thanks, but it is very cumbersome. Can we get that in a simple, single overview? For example the Trade tab, Overview, would be ideal.

Yes, it is cumbersome. We have a few major projects to take care of first, but this is on the to-do list.

Any news on this? It is the most important piece of information IMO. Even worse, the Funding/withdraw page shows an incorrect amount. I've just made this test: the withdraw page said "Maximum withdrawal: €188.08". Then I placed an order "buy 1.0 XBTEUR @ limit 206.10000". The order has been created successfully. This shouldn't be possible.

I don't have an update at this time. But I reminded our developers about the importance of adding this feature. The system will allow you to create an order to sell a bit more currency than you have available (in your case selling EUR for XBT). But of course the order won't get completely filled if you don't have enough money to fill it.

Out of interest... what if someone isnt claiming? Ken Slaughter, the one behind ActiveMining, claimed he had lost 453BTC on MtGox. He were not present at his court appointments so one can assume he wont claim those coins.

Will these coins be lost or can the shareholders claim them somehow? I know that legally they are owned by his company of course.

For the shareholders, who were practically scammed by him, it would be interesting to know how many coins he had on mtgox and what will happen if he stays inactive.

The shareholders might be able to submit a claim somehow, but they would need to contact the trustee and find out if it can be done, and if so, how. There's a contact phone number listed in the FAQ document posted on mtgox.com. If the funds aren't claimed, they would probably end up being distributed to claimants along with the remaining funds in the MtGox estate.

Do you plan on adding XMR/Monero to the exchange?

We have no plans to add XMR at the present time.

Hello Dargo. I'd endorse you and any colleague of yours at Kraken to reconsider about XMR. Being closely monitoring this altcoin it truly presents unique features, a great community and a devoted devteam. The only drawback is that it's not easily adopted due to the missing embedded UI (you will have to use an external one).

Nevertheless, XMR has potential, a growing and stronger, than other altcoins, base and truly deserves a bold name like Kraken behind it.
