Bitcoin chick
for me kraken is one of the best exchanges in the market along with binance.
yeah i agree they still coulndt figure their server issues out.but other than that they r great.
have sent them several swifts all arrived within 24 hours which is exceptional if you ask me.
coin withdraws are secure and on time always.
support is a little slow but they always reply,plus there is a representative on bitcointalk forums trying to help.what other exchange has a rep here other than kraken?



We liked trading there for a long time and thought the same as you. However, the disrespect towards customers by running the service in the current state (going on for at least the past half year) is just unbelievable. And as they are knowingly continue to run their service without applying refunds for their faults according to their ToS, they are continuously in breach of contract with their customers. And there are several other points were they are knowingly in breach of contract. As they are continuing with the current state they are just criminals in our opinion.

Maybe you are one of the lucky ones then.

We are still waiting for refunds for 100's of to be placed and to be canceled positions which were not executed thereby leadig to errornous placement or not cancelled positions. If we would have put in all request it would 1000's, which require refunds according to Kraken's own ToS. Only taking the test of the last two days would require dozens of corrections/refunds.

The current error rate for placing orders is between 52-58%, and as it looks we will stop our test soon, as it is quite clear to us that the promise of a new trade engine etc was just the typical Kraken SCAM/lie to prevent customers from leaving.

All this has been going on for months and no sing of improvement except their ways to SCAM people.

If folks are happy being fooled by Kraken, go on and trade there. If you like real trading...go somewhere else..there are sufficient possibilities around for everyone's needs.

And about having people in forums like this. At the moment it looks to us that they only do this to give the impression of running a decent service. If they would reply to the request submitted via their website within acceptable time and manner, there would be no need for folks to go to forum like this one.

100% agree.  I used to be a big fan of Kraken, now I am moving all of my coin/fiat away.  I have had no issues PLACING orders, but withdrawing them has been nothing but a nightmare.  And I STILL can't create an Ether withdraw address.  They are very well aware of their problems, yet continue to TRAP people's money.  It is just nothing but criminal.  I can deal with a company working out issues and being honest about it (and I DID deal with these issues for several months because I believed in them), but I cannot ever trust them again after literally holding my money hostage.

I cannot emphasize enough to folks that if you send money to Kraken, please do not expect to be able to withdraw it in any form (fiat OR crypto).

Hi, My account was locked November the 15th Ticket #867233. I have done everything you asked for to resume my account and past 7 days now after replying to your ticket asking for skype contact details i have not heard anything back. I have substantial amount of funds stuck in my account so it a tad worrying that no one is replying. Is there anything i can do?

Seeing as posting here seems to have more effect than just contacting support, I'll mirror my issue. I opened a ticket (#1023938) with the same problem as last time - my bank withdrawal seems to be "on hold" indefinitely without any means to release the funds. I cannot fathom the logic behind this system - if this is a security measure, the only things it's securing is my decision to move my business to a different exchange.

Kraken is working SO MUCH smoother right now. Unbelievable! Wow, feels like a breath of fresh air! What's funny now is that Bitstamp is acting up! Haha!


Mmmh, we will do a little test of 100 small orders and post the results later.

But it could also be just the time right after the server restart. We shall see....

Waiting on your test results! So far my experience is GREAT! OMG I'm so happy!

Hi there,
surprise, the error has drastically reduced. On the last 100 API-placement calls:

0 Eservice Uavailable
0 Eservice Busy
17 Unknowns

Leading to the easy calculation of 17% errors. (Note: most unknowns were placed)

we haven't checked whether all orders were executed when their limit was reached, but so far it seems fine.

We will do this test for the next few days to see whether the improvement was for real, or whether it was just the typical improvement related to a server restart.

Rather looks like the typical temporarily improvement after a server restart. Total placement error rate already above 27% and rising......(and less unknowns end up being placed)

Total placement error rate has reached 47% and rising......(and even less unknowns end up being placed)

Easy for everyone to draw his/her/their conclusions....

Hello, I tried logging into my Kraken account on December 4th and was locked out.  I emailed support and they sent me back an email with a list of questions to answer in order to get my account unlocked.  I also completed that form they tell you to fill out if you want to escalate your issue with support.  I have not heard from the support team since December 4th.  Is there any other way to escalate this?  It would be really nice to have access to my account again.  I'd just like to purchase some more bitcoin.  Thank you!

ERROR 525
SSL handshake failed.

I always get this error screen when I try to withdraw. They really don't want me too..
Is it just me? I live in Belgium.

No, it's not just you. If you keep trying you should eventually be able to succeed though.

Not so happy anymore... Kraken's engine froze, teh price remained unchanged for like a few minutes.

My orders were going through, but did not execute, even if I was buying well above market price.

I lost the chance to make money and also lost a bit of money. Not happy... Sad

I was familiar with that post,
even user @Bonez0r has shared that discussion two days earlier, but that's not what I am talking about.
"you will see it happen in early December" is not what I was expecting as a time-line for the maintenance.

For reference this is how a service interruption announcement looks like(form Bitfinex):
Quote

Infrastructure Maintenance November 08, 2017

[Update: Infrastructure maintenance complete. All systems back to normal operations.]

We will be undertaking infrastructure maintenance on November 9, 2017, sometime between 10:00 AM UTC and 4:30 PM UTC.
These updates are critical for the platform and must be performed. Unfortunately, we cannot give an exact time for the maintenance
other than those broad parameters.

Customers should expect a service interruption of approximately 10 minutes while this maintenance is being performed.
During that period, the trading might be unavailable.

During the maintenance, we will keep our users updated via ...

Thank you, The XXXX Team

I did see one error but the order went in anyway, which is something that was happening before sometimes too.  But so far, every order I have entered or cancelled has succeeded with a single attempt which is a huge improvement.  Let's hope it stays this good.

But how hard is it to do a simple announcement...some people were freaking out during the maintenance, nothing was announced on twitter, on reddit, here or on their website...

They mentioned something about it on the previous page here:

Hello,

Since we have no official position we may soon find out that no upgrade was made but a server crashed as CryptoTeng said and took them 3 hors to reboot it. time will tell.

You have made too many requests recently. Please try again later.

I'm getting this when I try to get to the password reset page. Does anyone know how long I'll need to wait until I can "try again"?
Does "later" mean later today/tonight/this decade?
 Huh

I don't know this for certain, but I suspect this message may just indicate a server error, like many of the other incorrect "this is disabled" messages the site is throwing out at the moment. ie. Just keep trying and you'll probably get in.

I managed to log in fine. In fact, the whole site seems to be working much more smoothly now. Don't know if the upgrades have kicked in but beforehand most pages would take several attempts to work or even load up. Added a new bank account and requested a couple of withdrawals earlier as well so hopefully they'll go through ok.

Maybe their major upgrade finally was put in to place. Everything on my end works quite well, it takes a little while before the pages load, but it is better than getting errors all the time.
