Re: [ANN] KRAKEN.COM - Exchange with USD EUR GBP JPY CAD BTC LTC XRP NMC XDG STR ETH

My missing Fidor-Fidor SEPA deposit from Sep 14, 2017 (which normally gets credited within minutes) has now been credited.

So far no word from support on what really happened, hoping for some explanation, so I can continue to use Kraken with confidence.

Thank you for "finding" my money Wink

UPDATE: According to Kraken support, the delay was caused by the bank, not by them. Should I get any useful information from the bank regarding this supposed delay, I'll update this post, otherwise, the story ends here Wink

The last few weeks, it worked flawlessly, except for the failed one yesterday. Months before that I was not very active on Kraken for some time, so I am glad, I missed this period of delays.

This at least makes me hopeful, that the issue will get sorted eventually, thank you!

We are aware of the issue and I've been looking into it again for you. We appreciate your patience.

Thank you! But what did you find out? Can you tell me, whether the money was credited to your bank account? According to my bank the transfer went through yesterday.

Thank you Smiley

I never had these delays before either, which is what has me worried.

Used that form for escalating before, just did again, maybe it helps.

If you never had this problem, you did not deposit for ~2 months starting~4 months ago Cheesy
There we had a 2 months period were nearly every Fidor to Fidor transaction was delayed by some days or you had to contact support so they manually added it.
The major problem of this seems to be solved, but there are still a few timeframes were transactions do not work obviously.

I also did a deposit yesterday, which did not get credited, in fact, does not show up on the website at all.

It was a EUR SEPA Fidor-Fidor transfer, which usually does not take more than a few minutes. A well known and advertised feature, which has worked well for me in the past, also several times recently (last working one the day before yesterday): https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002732067-Fidor-Fidor-deposits-and-withdrawals .

Answers from support so far have been they can't see the deposit yet and SEPA can take up to 5 business days (well, Fidor-Fidor should be nearly instant and it was so far) and at times "deposits of this type" are delayed in the banking system.

I asked them for clarification whether "can't see" means the money has not arrived in their bank account, which they did not explicitly answer.

In the meantime I have confirmation from my bank that the transfer has been executed yesterday.

Ticket number is 677953, which has already been escalated.

I respectfully ask for the money being credited to my Kraken account shortly.

Did anyone else have Fidor-Fidor delays before? Should I be worried?



hey man I use kraken for kinda 4 years, I never noticed these delays I usually receive my deposit at the same day anyway last 2 weeks something happen I will stay a bit away from deposits money thee till theyfix this.

I was waiting for 7 days to get my money, since I used to get my money at the same day.

I suggest to you use this: Please escalate your ticket using this form posted by Dargo : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCdK0IeMKRdYQUrpZRte71T_ksukoCU_7nnssYWSgrpoYMkA/viewform

looks like helped me thanks and good luck

Seems, this hasn't been posted here yet, might be of interest:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/02/27/inside-japan-s-bitcoin-heist.html

One thing is certain: every information therein is either true, or false, or nonsensical, or some other thing.

To me it is obvious that many people are desperately trying to hide what really happened in MtGOX.  I will not believe any statement or document about MtGOX that that is not a police report resulting from a thorough criminal investigation.  To this I may give as much credence as the standard internet rumor.

Just posted it. Didn't mean to imply that the article is credible (or not).

That pastebin was taken completely out of context. The user on here who posted it also apologised to gmaxwell on IRC for posting it

As I said earlier on IRC, I did not mean to step on anyone's toes, especially not gmaxwell's. I had no context, since I joined the channel just moments before. I did just mean to provide information and don't have any $/BTC on Gox. Didn't mean to spread FUD/fear and have no agenda, the post was meant to be informative in nature only.

Should there be any relevant context, that changes the perceived meaning, someone please post it.


Seriously, don't apologize.

I mean, what the hell? If it's on IRC, you're free to show it to the rest of the world, simple as that. And "lack of context"? What the fuck. It's a pretty long log, so it's hardly a single line or two "taken out of context".

Really, if you submitted that log, thanks!

As said on IRC, that was my initial thinking, too. It seemed some didn't agree and I just meant to highlight that I intended no harm or offense.

About context one thing that could potentially be interesting is what gmaxmell is replying to (he's addressing wumpus). Maybe someone can add that who has been in the channel a little earlier than me?

These are the only posts I have from after I joined the channel, before my infamous quote, I cut them since I considered them not relevant:

epscy: mrkent: most people are assuming that if they lost a significant amount of btc they would be able to cover the loss with their btc profit (which is assumed to be substantial)

The pastebin from earlier starts right after those.

EDIT: If you go here http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1yj5b5/unverified_pastebin_gmaxwell_irc_log_mtgox_was/ and look for posts from "nullc" who supposedly is gmaxmell you will find some comments on context and his position. Please note that this reddit has not been posted by me. I will refrain from further quoting and leave you to read nullc's comments for yourself. I think the context that nullc finds is missing is pretty clear from what has been posted already and with regard to some of his comments I can only emphasize once more I did not post this to manipulate, cause harm or offense.

But the information that was posted, is believed to be true? So whats wrong with the context?

I only provided the log, which is real. I'll leave the drawing of conclusions to others.

Any alleged missing context has to be provided by those who claim that it's missing.

EDIT: I think an interesting question is: What information is actually in there? Many might conclude that it highlights a certain degree of incompetence on Gox's side. It might be a bit more far-fetched to draw conclusions on whether and how many coins have been "lost"/"stolen" from Gox (purely from the log).

EDIT2: E. g. they could have automatically reissued the same transaction as a double-spend (using the same inputs) and not lost anything to this automatic reissuing (I am aware there have been various reports to the contrary (them resending with different inputs), which might or might not be true, I am just commenting on the log). Whether that theory holds ground in light of malleability issues, stuck transactions and other reported inconsistencies is another question altogether. Maybe malleability could still only be exploited (if at all) by complaining to customer service and have them manually resend your coins (again: there are reports claiming otherwise, might be true, might be not). Someone who feels inclined to do so could maybe dig up some more information on what most likely transpires from this log (if anything) from publicly available transaction logs. I only provided the IRC log without any speculation or interpretation.

gmaxwell: wumpus: yea, I understand they had timed automatic reissues... Sad this was also something I didn't know prior to monday before last and is one of the other reasons my "they couldn't have lost much!" position softened to "I have no freeking clue."
alpha125: gmaxwell: where did you find out abotu the automatic reissues?
gmaxwell: alpha125: from mtgox staff and magicaltux ... I had assumed previously that any reissues were manual via customer support but apparently it was just timed.
gmaxwell: you'll also note that they've kept increasing their fees and then even mad paying fees mandatory.
gmaxwell: This suggested to me that they totally misunderstood their problems. (and— I reported that I believed this months ago too)
gmaxwell: e.g. they noticed lots of txn getting stuck, they didn't understand it was because they were producing invalid txn (even though it was reported to them) and so they thought it was just 'full blocks'
gmaxwell: and they increased their fees from 0.0001 to 0.0005 — which was enough to may more than virtually every txn— and then later to 0.001 which is basically astronomic. And then they made it mandatory.
gmaxwell: of course their stalled txn had nothing to do with fees.

I have 2FA and the bitcoin withdrawal page is normal. However I have 0 USD and BTC there right now

wait, you have BTC there, but your balance is reflecting as 0?

I think, he just meant he has no $/BTC in Bitstamp at the moment and also does not get a "You're not allowed..." message on the withdrawal page.

At least that's what I assumed, when I quoted him and said "Same for me.".

[...]I ran across something regarding this the other day and lost the tab. If we're talking about the same thing, that is. A BCT user was discussing his GPU implementation where he was demonstrating that different sections of the secp256k1 curve (and presumably similar curves) were more susceptible to some form of brute-force weakening. Is this what you're talking about? This is in the back of my mind as an issue to keep a close eye on.
[...]

Some threads relating to this with a lot of discussion:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421842.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=433522.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=440205.0

Basically it appears to have boiled down to this:

For Evil-Knievel's demonstration to work, you need to use his pseudorandom number generator (PRNG): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421842.msg4746108#msg4746108

His PRNG only generates from a set of 2560000000 possible values: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=437220.msg4809894#msg4809894

Meanwhile, there are 45231284858326638837332416019018714005014673546513634524455141852155 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337 possible Bitcoin keypairs.

The probably of his tool cracking a real public key, in the wild, is virtually zero. You are more likely to have a meteor land directly on your house, on the same day, four years in a row.

Evil-Knievel is insulting everyone's intelligence, wasting our time, and trying to con somebody out of 2 BTC.

After almost 5 hours and having declined to very poor network propagation again that transaction made it through.

The next one I just sent shows as a double spend after a few minutes, wonder what's gonna happen Wink

UPDATE: Coins got returned into my wallet after a while and I could resend them.

After waiting another 4 hours for the next SharedCoin transaction, which was still unconfirmed, I googled a bit and came up with this post, where someone just 12 hours ago had the same problem and got the coins unstuck by rebroadcasting a transaction manually to another wallet:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1y7omy/heres_some_good_tools_to_know_about_in_case_you/

Maybe the information/method contained in that post will come in handy for someone.

He points to one transaction with an output < 0.01 BTC and a size > 2KB with no fee attached somewhere down the SharedCoin transaction chain as the culprit. Whether that is a problem in the SharedCoin implementation as suggested in that post, I will leave for others to decide.

I didn't get around to trying his approach to solving the problem anyway, since while writing this post, the transaction finally started to propagate and I expect it to be confirmed soon Cheesy

So I didn't investigate, whether the reason for the delay in processing was the same or similar as described in that reddit link or whether there's another legit reason for the delay in propagation (which sits there at 0% for hours and then suddenly rises quickly). Maybe it's just normal and to be expected waiting for inputs to be confirmed (which still show as partly unconfirmed, while propagation is rising, though - it appears as if blockchain.info is waiting all the time, before it finally broadcasts the transaction in question. Since some inputs are still unconfirmed, while propagation starts, I don't really know for what.).

Just sharing my experiences...

Maybe someone more familiar with the intricacies of CoinJoin and blockchain's implementation of it can fill in the gaps Wink
