CryptoJym Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Hey guys, I'm looking at possibly opening an account with Kraken and was wondering what your recent experiences were like and if you guys hand any issues or problems with this exchange recently. Thanks for the help Zerpers Edited April 22, 2018 by CryptoJym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleshmeister Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Well, i was pretty sweaty when it wen't down for a couple of days during the maintenance. Other than that it's been smooth sailing so far. CryptoJym 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leprecoin Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 All I can say is I’ve bought all of my xrp through kraken and never had a problem. It’s worth your while sitting down some day and opening an account with every exchange you can, even if you don’t plan on using them. There were huge delays and backlogs a few months ago in getting accounts opened. You never know, you may need them some day if cashing out large amounts. I certainly wouldn’t want to do it all through 1 exchange. CryptoJym 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrenne Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I have bought manymanymany XRP through Kraken and never had any significant problem. Money transfer (SEPA) very smooth, money arrived early morning next day, orders correctly executed, XRP transfer to nano within seconds. Sometimes the website bugged and orders were not confirmed, so I had to enter them again, resulting in double orders when the first one was confirmed anyway, but that never caused any real trouble and is much better after their general system upgrade. I have not tried to transfer fiat back to my bank account since I am not selling. I am planning to do that through Bitstamp, though.

lucid99 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Kraken is much better than it used to be. I'm not sure if you heard but they had some downtown a couple months ago. It was schedule to take 2 or 3 hours and was down for 3 days. People were freaking out. Since then I've always been keeping my eyes out for a better alternative because when you have thousands of dollars sitting on an exchange and then the exchange just goes dark - it shakes your confidence just a little CryptoJym 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bones Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I've been using Kraken for a few years now, and never had a problem that they didn't tell me about in advance. CryptoJym 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkey Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I have both an individual and a corporate account through Kraken. Other than their period of being down for maintenance for what felt like an eternity, they are very smooth, and they are especially good in offering so many trading pairs including fiat (USD, Euros, and others) directly to XRP. Communication is also relatively good, IMHO. CryptoJym 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plennie_Wingo Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Their vetting process has gotten much faster - also, in my case, they answer support e-mails right away. Not a small thing in this the Dark Age of 'customer service' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
