the reason i tried kraken is because mtgox and btc-e are terrible, localbitcoins takes too long (and doesn't have enough volume), and it's also adviced on blockchain.info.

i'm not disappointed, they're very good.

Good to know that Wink

I have an account with Kraken, though I have made no buy/sell transaction as yet. only done so via localbitcoins, which went well and fast.

Will come back to update this post when When I make a transaction, but the one thing that drew me to them, is the fact that this page says they are legally compliant: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Buying_bitcoins (search for Kraaken)

And while i haven't been able to find exactly what law they comply with, i believe the fact that the company is US based, must mean it is US laws. Maybe someone else can comment on this?

so if i register with kraken and buy some bitcoins there, will kraken automatically create a bitcoin wallet for me?

yes and no

the bitcoins will be 'stored' at kraken, and you can cash them out to your own wallet any time.

i advise using either blockchain.info as a wallet or make a paperwallet using something like https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/

Kreken is good, thanks for advice for paper walet.

Thinking about buying my first 0.1 bitcoin from there. How long does it take to get verified?

It took several hours to get verified, it also took a few hours for a bank transfer.

Kraken is very good in my opinion, definitely better then mtgox and btc-e, more people should use it.
