Do Kraken require verification if you only trade between crypto-currencies? It's one of the reasons I currently use BTC-e, but with all the problems people have reported with deposits/withdrawals I'm looking for a new exchange - have been looking at Bter but their website doesn't fill me with confidence...
You only need Tier 1 Verification to trade DC's on Kraken. I'd stick with BTC-e. I know everyone is shouting from the rooftops about how BTC-e are the next exchange to go. What they forget, however, is that BTC-e have proved themselves over the years. MtGox were -always- a joke.
Well I had only good experiences with btc-e until last week when I tried their btc-e code thing. Code was redemeed before I could use it and thus my money was gone. Customer support seems like a buch of trained monkeys, who have yet to be trained in English.
They should be able to tell you to which account it was redeemed (happened to me in the past). Not that this helps massively of course (hope it wasn't a lot).
