Anyone notice how lately the XMR price as listed on www.monero.how has been notably higher on the two smallest exchanges...

Code:

USD/XMR EXCHANGES
Price 24hr Volume (XMR)
Bitfinex 115.35 29,000
Bittrex 115.03 2,870
Kraken 116.58 2,544
Livecoin 121.81 261
Exmo 120.70 232

...usually these kind of arbitrage opportunities don't last more than a few minutes: this seems to have been persistent a few days since I noticed it.

Anyone lately try to arb from Livecoin/Exmo to Bittrex/Kraken, or what's the deal here? What's the catch? Some kind of hidden fee or something?

Counterparty risk. How much money are you going to trust with Livecoin or Exmo?

And 1/10th to 1/100th of the volume. Hard to know if you'd even be able to make a large enough trade to make any money on those exchanges.
