Hi Everyone - we are working on a major re-design for the site (no, I don't know when it will come out).

Part of the re-design will involve an overhaul of the order pages. Please speak up with your wish list on how you would like to see the order forms, display of data, workflows, etc. changed. For example, when you're placing a trade in the order book, what other information would you like to have at your fingertips that's not at your fingertips with the current design? What I've seen so far is a more compact order form on the left of the screen, with the order book and other info on the right. There will in general be a lot more information available on the screen when placing an order, with at least some degree of customization possible. And of course the drop-down chart will be much improved. But nothing is really set in stone at this point, so speak up with your feature requests. I won't have time to reply to all the posts, but I'll make a record of all the requests.

How does Kraken verify my identity? I only had to submit my name + last name + birth date and I could start trading. Do they actually check those against some database?

You could start trading, but only with low funding limits. The more serious identity verification comes at tier 3 when you are applying for higher limits.

what's the current delay for fidor <->kraken fiat transfers?
afaik bitcoin.de(which also uses fidor) was working with fidor to make them basically realtime. Is kraken working on a similar arangement?

The transfers themselves are basically instant. But a site update is required for them to show in your account. Last I heard, the site update was being done a few times a day. Eventually we'll automate the site updates so they'll be done every hour or so, but I'm not sure when that will happen.

Kraken is the most liquid BTCEUR market! (30-day volume)
By market I mean one where you can deposit and withdraw both fiat and coins Tongue.

@Dargo, any news about a websocket-based API? (for public data)

A websocket tops my personal feature request list. Can't wait for that.  Cheesy

But unfortunately I don't have any update or ETA at this time. I will, however, raise this issue with the devs once again and see what I can do to advance the priority on it.

Thanks!

Dargo,

I have a suggestion hopefully to make your plateform even nicer:
Could you show a warning when a limit order is placed at a price inconsistent with the orderbook (above if buying, below if selling). For instance, instead of a green button to comfirm the order, the button would be red with a small warning in brackets.

Writting a wrong price happens sometimes Wink

I'm not sure we want to change the button to red, but a displaying a message of some kind seems like a good idea. I'll run the idea by the devs - thanks.

Any news on accepting GBP and Euro? I would be using this service if this was possible.

GBP is coming, but please don't hold your breath for it. It's still going to be a while and we don't have an ETA at this time.

Have you guys seen the update on kraken? Doge can now officially be traded there.

I'm sure it will attract new customers and stuff but geez.. How can a serious exchange add such a terrible coin? Huh

Seconded.

Turded.

So a "serious" exchange only offers "serious" coins? By what criteria does a coin count as serious? The answer to this question is bound to be controversial, but note that dogecoin has:

  • Massive userbase
  • 65k+ subscribers on reddit
  • Hashrate rivaling that of litecoin
  • Trade volume rivaling that of litecoin

Whatever may be said against dogecoin, the fact is that it has gained traction very rapidly and become a very serious coin for trading. Why wouldn't a serious exchange want to offer it? We are after all in the trading business.

Announcement: currently the exchange rates for digital currency deposits and withdrawals are 10x what they should be. This means that currently users can only deposit or withdraw 10x less than they should be able to. We are working on the issue and will have it fixed as soon as possible. If you have a deposit held for going over limit due to this issue, it should correct itself once things are fixed, but if not, please create a ticket about it. Sorry for the inconvenience everyone.

@Dargo

has this already been fixed?
If not, can you explain how much I am able to deposit / withdraw in BTC
when you look at my current limits:



Does it mean I can max. deposit / withdraw 10% of btc24.09347 , which would be btc2.40934

Thanks for clarification

It's been fixed. The reduced limit would display, so as long as the limit that is displayed for you makes sense, there's nothing to worry about.


I though so, however thanks for quick reply and clarification.

USD Deposits Temporarily Disabled

In order to lighten the burden on USD withdrawals and speed up the process, we're offering a 2% bonus for users willing to convert their USD balances to EUR balances. You may then trade EUR or withdraw EUR. EUR withdrawals are generally processed within 1 business day. If your bank only supports USD, withdrawing EUR to it will likely result in a < 1% conversion fee. Please contact us for details.


but how can I convert my USD Balances in EUR Balances? I see no options on Kraken for this operation

Let us know that you want to convert to EUR by replying to your support ticket (or open one if you don't already have one). You can also PM me with your ticket number.

Not a Dogeophile - but I'm happy with the asset being added to Kraken.
