I don't think Kraken is the problem.  I have a deposit into Bithumb sing January 4th as well.  I believe it may be the way XRP and exchanges interact.  i ahve sent my XRP off of Kraken and onto HITBTC and it didnt show up right away; i had to put in a ticket on their system and then i saw it in the morning. 

Im going to take the advice of someone who posted on here and will do 1:1 tickets specifically, requesting for my deposit.  might get lucky.....who knows. right?!?!?

This is really frustrating and do not understand why this is such a big deal?!?!
