Bitcoin funding gateway is offline and will return within 12 hours, no later than 12:00 PST, 02/Feb/2014. Deposits and withdrawal requests made in the meantime will be queued and processed when funding comes back online. All funds are safe. Apologies for the delay and thank you for your patience.
...is helping to fix this...
Something is seriously broken with BTC deposits on Kraken. Yesterday I was given BTC deposit address, which is not unique as I realized later after sending BTC to this address and wondering why it is not showing up in my kraken account - in blockchain, there are 183 transactions depositing to this address and current balance of this address is over 600 BTC. This is some serious bug as I don't understand how would kraken understand which deposit was mine (thanks god only little over 0.5BTC), because deposit addresses must be always unique (or reused in some safe way). This wrong deposit address is still showed in my account under deposit BTC address with status "expires in 5 days". I've create support tiket for this issue under my public account id "AA70 N84G UGR4 I6QA".
Is anybody competent able to comment how will kraken solve this issue?
It's an open question as to whether there is anyone competent to comment on how the issue will be solved, but perhaps what you really wanted to hear was some informed dialogue on the matter from official Kraken sources and it's possible that that may occur in due course.
I'd be happy with a straightforward, "It's fixed."
