Despite their struggles in peak times and the confusing interface, Kraken still is my favorite bitcoin exchange offering the best liquidity in the BTC/EUR market. However, I completely understand that for newcomers there are way better portals.

Kraken is no longer recommended.
After a proven and even confirmed by the support internal system error, all positions were liquidated and blocked for "security reasons" continue, so I could not create any new. The whole thing has led to real capital loss.

Initially, I was fed standard answers until I could prove that a regular liquidation was not possible (proof by invoice and log entries).

Only then did you continue to search and find the mistake. A faulty transfer to my account, which never landed as a credit on my account, was probably deducted in the remittance and triggered the liquidation!

But one was only willing to "credit" me (not even the full amount) as future trading costs.
Restoring or compensating for the previous condition is not possible.

Kraken ist nicht mehr zu empfehlen.
Nach einem nachgewiesenen und sogar durch den Support bestätigten internen Systemfehler, wurden alle Positionen liquidiert und aus „Sicherheitsgründen“ weiterhin gesperrt, ich konnte also auch keine neuen anlegen. Das Ganze hat zu realem Kapitalverlust geführt.

Anfänglich speiste man mich mit Standardantworten ab bis ich nachweisen konnte, dass eine reguläre Liquidiereung nicht möglich war (Nachweis durch Rechnung und Logeinträge).

Erst dann forschte man weiter und fand den Fehler. Eine fehlerhafte Überweisung zu meinem Konto, welche nie als Guthaben auf meinem Account gelandet ist, wurde bei der Rücküberweisung vermutlich abgezogen und löste die Liquidierung aus!!!

Man war aber lediglich bereit mir (nicht mal den vollen Betrag) als zukünftige Tradingkosten „gutzuschreiben“.
Den vorherigen Zustand wiederherzustellen oder zu entschädigen sei nicht möglich.

For Germans the best option. Working with Fidor Bank will transfer Fiat Money in minutes. The surface of Kraken is getting used to and not in German. Nevertheless, the best option for me and my friends.

Für Deutsche die beste Option. Durch das Zusammenarbeiten mit der Fidor Bank wird Fiat Money in Minuten transferiert. Die Oberfläche von Kraken ist allerdings gewöhnungsbedürftig und nicht auf deutsch. Für mich und meine Freunde trotzdem die beste Option.
