I don't understand why they let this happen. I'm trying to start cashing out and setting up accounts on multiple fiat exchanges and holy fuck is this site shit. And now you need tier 3 verification to cash out and i've been waiting 3 weeks.
Christopher Hernandez
Mine came early, but I got in like 1 year ago.
Any experiences regarding cashout time WITH the verification?
Brandon Ramirez
Bittrex is following Kraken's example. They used to be neck-and-neck with Binance's volume, now they're less than 1/3 on many popular cryptos.
Luis Rodriguez
But Bittex actually works real time. Orders go through, website is reachable,
Logan Stewart
No wait, actually I've spotted some really dodgy "wallet maintenance" for some coins, exactly at the time when they fall or rise rapidly.
William Ross
Payout to bank only takes a few days with tier 3 verification.

Why the actual fuck cant they do their maintenance in the night??? its so ridiculous
Camden Jackson
its the shittest and most unreliable site in cryptoworld. they have been announcing server upgrades all over, but dellivered nothing for months.
Brayden Edwards
Yeah, unless they announce very large server capacity improvement I won't leave a cent in.
Owen Stewart
It's sad that their trading platform and functionality is actually very good and site looks great.
Tyler Ortiz
I heard just buying and selling to fiat is decent bu trading is what is really impossible on kraken. It's weird all the western exchanges let this happen and Binance took over. They could have made a shit ton more money if they were semi-competent.
Caleb Gray
this is when kraken decides to do maintenance. brilliant site. this is a joke
Luis Miller
this is the site where i sent my fiat 2 days ago. FUCK ME

want an even better joke? check the kraken subreddit! no comments, everything is [removed]. this fucking site!
Nicholas Perry
Problem is, this is the only real fiat exchange I know. Anyone can advice a good exchange that doesn't deal with Tether bullshit?
Jackson Williams
Kraken is absolute dogshit when it lags But when it doesn't, it's a top tier exchange.
A world of missed potential imo. Just fix your servers and add more coins and it would literally be the best exchange, not even trolling.
Evan Green
Haven't had any experience with it but apparently bitstamp is pretty good for fiat withdrawals.
Jaxon Ramirez
Been using it for years.
Verified 3 tier recently - no issues, but took a few days.
Trading is shit - but limit orders do work once they get through. I think the web UI is slightly more reliable than ordering from trading web app.
Otherwise very reliable to fiat deposits/withdrawls for eurofags.
It may take 10-20 minutes to survive the errors until deposit/withdrawl starts, but from then on fiat handling is very, very reliable.
I wrote scripts for other stuff (e.g. downloading trade histories, balances) - they keep retrying on failures, so it finishes after a few minutes.
Kayden Phillips
Is the api more reliable than the site? Sometimes you put in an order, you get an error and have to wait for a full refresh to see if it got through.
Owen Watson
Fucked up with smartphone, fucked up with backups of 2FA.... >Binance, after 30 min problem solved on telegram >Kucoin, problem solved after 3 days >Bitfinex, hurr durr no response >Kraken, yes um yeah we need an account access specialist to resolve your problem (good idea after 6 mails)
STILL WAITING WOJAK
Nathan Wood
what's the best exchange atm to cash out? I´m in EU
Leo Cruz
> The upgrade is going much more slowly than anticipated. It will probably be two hours or more until systems are back online. it wouldn't be kraken if everything went smooth but picking today of all the days...
Alexander Lee
Honestly get errors all the time when using their site. I want to wire transfer money in. Im a tier 3 they dont have real instructions on how to wiretransfer. They dont tell you where to send it I.e. Their company address and bank adress. I would like to margin trade but I hear stay fuck the away from it on kraken
James Parker
> api more reliable?
Same shit actually. The trading app errors are just a bit more confusing, actually.
There's this thing that if you get an empy red error in the web ui, it means the order went through. (Refreshing should show new balance).
Same thing in the trading view: there's an issue updating the balance and showing confirmations after the order goes through. (You get an error anyway, but you get notifications after a refresh).
The API is the same - except there's a counter for how many requests you can make per minute (depends on your verification level).
I sleep half a second between calls until it gets through. Still can take 10 tries in the console api, but with about 20 attempts per minute, it beats trying things manually.
Also, the trading volume is pretty shit, so if you want to know if your limit orders went through, use the API to poll and notify yourself when the balance changes.
Good luck.
Caleb Perry
Gate.io working pretty good compared to all others. Not all currency on there, but they also have some first release currency like MediBloc (MED).
Kraken works shit when nothing is going on in the markets. When you get a 7 on the crypto Richter scale, there's no difference between "offline for maintence" and "fuck, too many users panic selling and nothing is going through!".
Margin trading is doable on Kraken. Arbitrage maybe more-so (if you have nerves of steel). But not when there's ANY action.
