Bullshit.

kraken.com is the biggest EUR market, one of the most well-known, but it has awful API !

It is now a considerably big exchange, but at the moment the thread was created, it was a very new exchange. (There were just 3 tweets on its twitter page at that time.)

I still find the site confusing.
Why you feel its confusing site I check them many time and its good site just need some time for understanding and settling all things

Where does it have a list of their most popular trading pairs?

I don't even know what XBT/XDG/XRP/XVN stand for unless I real "Help".

Trust me, I have mad respect for Kraken. But not impressed with some of this layout.

I don't find them as a scam site, also with putting limits, that's a good thing to say they are not here to scam.

24-hour volume at the moment is not 2 bitcoin, 24 hour volume is 1287 btc.

Well, 9 months ago in Sept 2013, the 24-hour volume was just 2.5 bitcoin and it is now ~1250 btc (500 times increase for just 9 months).
It is indeed quite interesting to see how much it has grown. Smiley

I was just looking for exchanges to buy.

Now I figured https://www.kraken.com/ , but this exchange has 24h volume of just 2.5BTC.

Is this website a scam??

So why should it be a scam if the volume is only 2,5BTC in 24h??? I don't understand`?

Probably because it indicates almost no one was using it back then...
When no one is using a service or a product, it is reasonable to think that there must be some problems with it...

Kraken is legit, and probably one of the best exchanges available. The kraken api is extensive, and the new order has a lot of options in advanced method.

Yes, Kraken asks a lot of information, but that's ok, they need to do that.
Kraken has also been auditted by a 3th party from this forum, everything cleared out.

24-hour volume at the moment is not 2 bitcoin, 24 hour volume is 1287 btc.

Finally, I got refunded today. Kraken came up clean and is definitively legit.

Good move, Kraken!

Have you done any legal action or at least report the police after the 2.5 months wait?

I'm located in Turkey. There is no way to complain through institutions. I would fly over to Germany if it will get necessary.
Only way to get noticed was through this topic in this forum, which i found after i searched the web for "Kraken scam".

After 1 month total silence from Kraken support, they started answering to me again, right after my initial post here.

So i guess this topic makes a difference. Maybe some repliers that say they had no problems with Kraken are trolls ? Who knows.
I'm sorry if i hurt anybody, because you're not a troll and express your genuine opinion. Since Kraken seemingly reads this post, too.

I wait for their next action to find out more about their true intentions. All their moves so far show, they're not innocent. Fact is that i'm still disconnected from my cash since 3.5 months:
- 1st month was lost until local bank here returned funds (return confirmed on 14th April 2014 by Kraken support).
- The next 2 months are lost while Kraken singing the same song: "waiting for Fidor Bank to refund back to my Kraken account".
- The last 2 weeks are after Kraken disabling my account.
Total 3.5 months passed, since 1st wire transfer leaving Kraken in 25th February 2014.

I see. I haven't tried Kraken, so I couldn't say if it is working for others.
I hope you can get your money back in the end. Good luck.

This exchange hasn't started and is already my favorite one. Only one thing missing to make this the most epic exchange. A free BTC chat.

I use to use Kraken - never had a problem with them. They are a bit slow though.
I also start to use this volume is very less and they have some restrictions just because of this peoples not going to this way hope in near future they will develop as good exchange

most likely not, they're just wasting time and money. too late to the party

Why would they be? I use kraken frequently and even though it has a low volume it has been doing everything it is supposed to pretty swift and secure for me.

That comment by bitcoindigi was made in Sept.
At that time, Kraken was very new and a very small exchange. Most people didn't really have much trust in it, and hence we have this thread. Wink
