Kraken should change its name to "Error 520: Web server is returning an unknown error"

I am in the same boat. Bitstamp seems a good alternative for European citizens but a little more strict than Kraken for KYC. I have a friend who tested it after also getting tired of Kraken and it looks good. If it's just to sell and to receive SEPA transfer there is also Bitwala (based in Germany.)
