This is a good point. Commenters saying they are buying OTC and not taking custody of the coins is disappointing.
Governments do provide this information to the public. Budgets, bond issues, etc are the governments describing their "bank account" to the public. This is how we know many fiat currencies are "having issues" and the metrics are wrong. Transparent money supply is an important part of democracy.
Some bitcoin owning entities provide proof of reserves: https://niccarter.info/proof-of-reserves/ https://www.kraken.com/en-gb/proof-of-reserves-audit
I don't see why a country should not provide proof of reserves. Especially they are custodied by a company in a potentially adversarial state. Nacho keys, nacho coins, lads!

Enjin - Enjin is a software that gives developers the ability to create and manage virtual goods on the Ethereum blockchain.
The idea is that by using blockchain technology to manage in-game items across many different properties, Enjin can help reduce the high fees and fraud that have plagued the transfer of virtual in-game goods and collectables.
Toward that goal, Enjin has released software development kits (SDKs) allowing users to both create digital assets on Ethereum and integrate them into games and apps.
Each minted asset is customizable to fit the desired platform and recorded in a smart contract, giving the items the advantages of cryptocurrency, namely speed, cost and security.
Central to managing the digital assets on its platform is ENJ, Enjin’s cryptocurrency, and each in-game item created on Enjin is assigned a value in ENJ.
Meanwhile on Kraken people are paying a premium to get their Dollars converted to Tethers. At the moment it's about $1.04 for one Tether, during the day it went as high as 5% extra.
One would consider this a very good arbitrage opportunity, but it doesn't happen. Kraken's Tether wallet holds barely the amount of their 24h trading volume.
Fucking moron.
How the fuck can you run an exchange which at any one point in time has 0.5 billion dollars, and not secure a cold storage?
Look at Kraken: https://www.kraken.com/security/practices
All new deposits go directly to cold wallets — that is, wallets that are completely isolated from any online system. The vast majority of coins are stored in cold wallets, with complete air-gap isolation.
Kraken's servers reside in locked racks, in a locked private cage, inside a top-tier professional data center: this means armed guards, video surveillance, retina scans, the works.
That's how you fucking secure 0.5 billion dollars. Cold means it has NEVER been connected to any network, that it has never been online. Storing cold in locked cages behind armed guards means nobody can steal your coin unless you and 5 other people in the company who hold part of the authority simultaneously transfer, through the secure blockchain, cold to hot, and only that small 5% portion which is needed for daily activity.
This is fucking BS.
This post will read as shill-y, but I just really like Kraken. Have had issues with crypto deposits, see customer service at the end of this comment.
Kraken is great. Been around since 2011, never hacked, staking options available DOT KSM ETH + more, participate in DOT/KSM parachain auctions, low-margin trading available, derivatives trading for non-US, Europeans have a free fiat on-ramp, low trading/withdrawal fees, great charts with unlimited indicators via TradingView API (looks better than binance's interface imo)
Kraken is also filing to incorporate as a US bank, this is likely how they will introduce their US fiat on-ramp.
The bad: I've had 2 XLM transfers get lost somehow on their way into Kraken exchange and not credited to my account. Yes, I did include the proper memo. Never had issues with another crypto.
The good: Kraken had live support and followed up to recover my funds after a waiting period, full recovery, no issues.
A+ support
I think this may be correct! I’m a smooth brained idiot, but this suggests you need a stake in LRC to operate a decentralised exchange:

Hi u/apeg989,
I believe I assisted you with this case previously. I'm not allowed to discuss too many details of this case over social media, however I am happy to answer questions in the ticket.
Please see our terms and conditions page, namely our Limitations of Liability section:
I had the same problem. The two services I'd class as the most reputable are Kraken and BitStamp. For exchanging cryptocurrencies, ShapeShift.
I don't want to guarantee anything, but this has been just my general experience.
Note that Bitcoin is going through a massive bubble at the moment. Be very careful when investing in this. Worth also noting that because of an increase in ransomware attacks, Bitcoin is getting lots of unwanted attention.

KRAKEN BITCOIN EXCHANGE PUTS YOU FIRST
Founded in 2011, San Francisco-based Kraken is the largest Bitcoin exchange in euro volume and liquidity and also trading Canadian dollars, US dollars, British pounds and Japanese yen. Kraken is consistently rated the best and most secure Bitcoin exchange by independent news media. Kraken was the first Bitcoin exchange to have trading price and volume displayed on the Bloomberg Terminal, the first to pass a cryptographically verifiable proof-of-reserves audit, and is a partner in the first cryptocurrency bank. Kraken is trusted by hundreds of thousands of traders, the Tokyo government's court-appointed trustee, and Germany's BaFin regulated Fidor Bank.
You have 2 major exchanges where you can trade BTC for ETH:
It's super easy.
I recommend a hardware wallet for secure long term storage. I personally use the Ledger Nano S, as do many others around here.
Can someone confirm this please?
This is huge as it means there's another direct deposit (EUR and USD wire/SEPA) way to buy doge!

Sure can u/tastehbacon, The Algorand platform allows users to create tokens and dApps using a unique "pure proof-of-stake" consensus mechanism that, unlike other PoS systems, requires no "bonding" period. Algorand is also the first blockchain to provide immediate transaction finality, removing the risk of forking.
Check out the chart to get historical and live Algorand price data, then use the buy/sell button to start trading.

We want moons listed to binance and coinbase!
Kraken already did write an article about moons: https://www.kraken.com/en-us/learn/what-is-reddit-moon

Hi u/KusuriuriPT 👋🏻,
Staking DOT with us at Kraken indeed results in 12% yearly rewards.
The best thing is, you can unstake at any time. There is no unlocking period once you decide to unstake. 🙂

I'm glad you asked that!
In September 2020, we announced that the state of Wyoming granted Kraken a special purpose bank charter.
Kraken Bank (formerly known as Kraken Financial) is coming in 2021. The offering will initially be available to existing Kraken clients in the USA with potential international expansion in the future.

In order to prevent fractional reserve banking (which is what Mt.Gox did to eventually fall), does Bitcoin need a protocol of sorts (either a new one, or built upon the existing protocol) where an exchange can prove (or where the user can 'audit' at any given moment) they have ~100% of the deposits (either in cold or hot storage)?
Is this continuous "proof of reserve" plausible or even technically possible? According to Kraken, it is.
Two useful links to peruse (and I'm sure +/u/moolah_ et al. are aware of these):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=528432 Report by Stefan Thomas on his audit of Kraken.
https://www.kraken.com/security/audit Description of their procedures by Kraken.
“HODL Day: The Official Hodl Holiday
December 18 is HODL Day
HODL Day is the official celebration of HODL, as an ode to the date of GameKyuubi’s bitcointalk post on December 18.
Thanks to GameKyuubi, hodlers around the world who lack technical skills for short-term trades gather to celebrate his message and trading strategy on December 18 for HODL Day.”
“The History of Hodling The actual term, “HODL,” originated from a bitcointalk post by GameKyuubi.
If you’re unfamiliar, Bitcointalk is a forum launched by bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto intended to discuss bitcoin and field questions about the project. It has since been a gathering place for the crypto community, and was the site of many significant developments both culturally and technically for the industry.
On the evening of December 18, 2013, GameKyuubi famously went on a drunken, self-deprecating rant, admitting that he was a bad trader and was going to hold on to his bitcoin rather than attempting to predict its price action.
In his post GameKyuubi is also aware that he misspelled “hold” but was too drunk and/or upset to change it. “

Hi u/Xolam, hi there u/ViridianZeal, hello to you u/Remarkable-Culture39 and everybody else!
Val from Kraken here, I hope you don't mind me jumping in.
We have a dedicated fee schedule page, where everything is outlined in details.
Basically, our lower, Kraken Pro fees apply everywhere, besides the Kraken consumer App and the "Buy Crypto" widget on our website.
The Kraken Pro App, besides extended trading capabilities comes with the lower fees too.
I would still recommend you to take a look at the fee schedule linked above for an in-depth overview.
I hope that helps,

why are you all buying off of robinhood? go to a place like www.kraken.com and buy your crypto. you can use fiat or use bitcoin, eth, etc to buy your Dogecoin. This way you hold your own private keys. with RH they hold your keys, thus they hold your asset.
I buy my Dogecoin from www.kraken.com this way you hold and own your own crypto. Through robinhood they own your private keys. Take the time to open an account with kraken and buy it there. A huge number of cryptos are available on kraken
I'm not American so I admit I'm not super knowledgeable but perhaps this is a good option. Binance.US NANO/USD trading pair. Kraken is another good and very popular option that also has a NANO/USD pair.

Contacted them and it seems that they want to do it quietly. No official statement, no social media announcement, no blog post. Just XMR community being affected and no one else knows.
Thanks to the Reddit community for making it public.
I squeezed them a little and got some info: The email was as follows,
Subject: Trading Monero (XMR) on Kraken - Action required
"Hello, We are reaching out regarding an update to trading and funding of Monero (XMR) on Kraken. In compliance with UK regulations, Kraken (Payward Ltd) will no longer be supporting Monero (XMR) on its platform. Trading On the 26th of November, all Monero (XMR) trading on Kraken will cease in the UK. This includes Instant Buy/Sell Services as well as order book trading on XMR/BTC, XMR/USD, and XMR/EUR. Funding Any deposits of Monero (XMR) in the UK will no longer be credited after 26th of November. Thereafter, Monero (XMR) balances can be withdrawn to a personal wallet or to an alternative exchange. Margin On the 23rd of November, 2021, your Monero (XMR) margin positions will be set to reduce only. This means that you will not be able to increase or open new Monero (XMR) margin positions. You will only be able to reduce open Monero (XMR) margin positions. We kindly ask that you close any open margin positions involving Monero (XMR) by the 26th of November, 2021. On 26th of November, all open margin positions will be force liquidated and any open orders will be cancelled."
It is a direct effect of Kraken being 'registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom' from 22 November 2021
It's deflationary.
This ape posted a link to a good summary:

Kraken support here. You can obtain XRP on Kraken. Available currency pairs are here (just go here and keyword search for XRP on the page): https://www.kraken.com/help/fees
As this was a question about the Canadian experience, one of the pairs is XRPCAD.
Stop using coinbase because of their ridiculous fees + inflated price.
Look at Kraken's order book here - https://www.kraken.com/charts
Scroll down to the "Depth" chart and look at the sell/buy walls. Any big walls on the right are massive sell walls where the price can get stagnant or will have issues going over.
If you want to be smart about buying wait until the price gets at or near a sell wall. Wait a few hours to see what happens. Generally if it breaks the wall and keeps going then there's a pump happening and buying is anyone's guess.
If the wall stays give it a couple of hours to see price fluctuation, if it keeps dipping up and down but keeps coming back to that same wall, I'd say it's pretty safe to buy there.
Don't use kraken.
I've been burned twice by them. Once because they suck. Once because my greed outweighed my common sense.
I know people who lost hundreds of ETH because of their shit engine.
Don't use kraken. Don't follow Kraken bitcoin exchange's twitter. @krakenfx.
They're terrible. Awful.
Sail the high seas of suck-cess.
I think the easiest way to get started is to create an account on Coinbase and buy BTC/ETH/LTC with a credit card. The fees aren't great, but it's very easy to get started with them.
If you want to get into trading and alt coins, you could then sign up for something like Bittrex or Kraken, move your newly purchased coins there and start trading. If you want to convert back into fiat, I've only used Kraken myself, and it works great, but it takes a while for the wire transfer to go through.
Always turn on two factor authentication for these services and if you are going to be investing any sort of significant amount, you should look into cold storage or dedicated hardware wallets for your coins. Keep in mind this stuff is outright gambling at this point, so don't "invest" anything you're not willing to lose.
As it says in the section you reference, "The exact levels for each currency pair are listed under Fees and Pair Info" (here: https://www.kraken.com/en-us/help/fees). Right now the exact levels for all pairs you can margin trade are 80% and 40%, but the FAQ is vague about it because the fees page is always where you should look to get the exact levels.
At margin call (80%) you get an email warning about your level and asking you to either reduce position size or add funds to bring the level up. We reserve the option to liquidate at this level but in practice would only do it under highly unusual circumstances (say if volatility in the market is very extreme to the point that we are concerned the 40% liquidation level might not be safe). At the liquidation level (40%) liquidation is automatic. It's high because volatility in crypto markets is high. The liquidation level is set to help ensure that margin positions don't lose so much value that the funds advanced for opening the position can't be paid back from the remaining value in the account.
Hope that helps clear things up. The rules are very clear except for the remote discretionary possibility of liquidation below the 80% level, but as I said in practice this might only come up under highly unusual circumstances. To avoid even that remote possibility, make sure to keep your margin level above 80%.
You could have just used the https://www.kraken.com/ether wallet sweeper bam. In the exchange do a trade get your btc and withdraw. That's it.
firing up a quick Ubuntu vm, one line install, one line to import, one line to send.I did it on win 10.
Send to shapeshift.io instant transfer.
Buying the token was never meant to be an investment. It was to fund the project and get ether for dev purposes.

Daily reminder that kraken published article on moons , once mainnet i suppose moons will be listed soon and guess what that will do for the price. Once other exchanges listings and more use cases and bullrun. Potential is so high it's bonkers.
1.5% is standard?
0.26% trading fee on Kraken (https://www.kraken.com/features/fee-schedule) plus $4-$35 for withdrawal (https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000423043-Fiat-currency-withdrawal-options-fees-minimums-and-processing-times-)
>Will they offer proof of reserve, or become yet another shady fractional reserve bank, exactly what Satoshi was trying to prevent?
They are way way way ahead of you....they've done this for years. https://www.kraken.com/en-us/proof-of-reserves-audit
Secondly do you understand what the WY law requires? (I suppose not). The state requires FULL RESERVES, so this is 10x better than literally any other exchange right now as there is full force of law mandating that all assets must be completely backed and no rehypothecation.
No, that's the highest in Canada.
Coinsquare 0.1 and 0.2%
https://coinsquare.com/trading_fees
And ezbtc is 0.3%
https://www.ezbtc.ca/docs-public/fundingmethod
Kraken which deals with cad pairs. 0.16% and 0.26%
Don't use Changelly, it is a scam and their rates are terrible, they are overcharging you like mad. Use ShapeShift instead for this method.
If you want to go straight USD to XRP try Kraken and Bitstamp, these exchanges have the most volume for the USD/XRP pair.
Hope this helps! 🔷
Direct to fiat:
https://www.bitfinex.com/
https://www.kraken.com/
To BTC:
https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_xmr
I think poloniex would be your best option here, you'll need to verify your account up a level or two so you can withdraw larger amounts per day. The liquidity is quite good. You could dump 150BTC worth of xmr in one trade and move the market down less than 2%.
You can get your current maximum withdrawal amount for each asset with: https://www.kraken.com/help/api#get-withdrawal-info
As I understand it, you'd like to know how much in USD you've withdrawn over a time period. Unfortunately, that's not available now. Out of curiosity, why do you prefer to know how much has been used rather than how much is still withdrawable?
Kraken and Coinbase do virtually all of this, too and I expect Bitstamp and a few Chinese exchanges to properly do security, too. Although almost all exchanges have bounty programmes (get paid for reporting a bug), it's the first time I've heard of Crowdcruity though, nice move.
For example, Kraken: https://www.kraken.com/security/practices
Proof of solvency is quite unique, many exchanges do them, but not daily, usually like every 3 months. Doing it daily helps because theoretically one could borrow the funds once every few months to prove there are enough bitcoins, then immediately give them back. Real-time proof of solvency would be much harder in that regard, and daily proofs are a great start.
I absolutely applaud VoS, they do amazing things.
Okay. Dogecoin.com recommends the following exchanges as a place where you can trade between Bitcoins and Dogecoins:

Hi u/occamsrazorben 👋🏻,
"Why Kraken" is a good question, and we have answered to this one here.
Are you looking forward to have access to your staked ETH? 🤔 Staked ETH cannot be unstaked or transferred on the Ethereum network for an unknown period of time. This is a limitation on the Ethereum network itself.
However, we at Kraken, as a courtesy to clients who may wish to exchange their staked ETH for unstaked ETH, we provide a trading pair ETH2.S/ETH for this purpose. 🤓
You can find all the details and much more in our Ethereum 2.0 Staking FAQ.
​
Let me know if you have any other questions,
Val 🐙
P.S. u/Ru9on thank you for the vouch 😉
Hey u/rafianzz,

We keep full reservers so you may withdraw at anytime. As your funds are your own, we don’t use your funds for business expenses.

Okay then why are you here? I personally trust Celsius but don’t spend my time going around looking for random crypto lending companies I don’t trust and commenting in their threads. It takes enough time staying on top of Celsius and making sure they’re doing everything I expect of them. Also it’s not shills it’s the CEO of the company and yes, as I said, I trust Alex. I don’t see the CEO of any other company publicly exposing himself, answering questions from the general public and explaining his business multiple times per week, every single week. Celsius shows more transparency and good intentions (no fees, great rates/promos, multiple AMAs per week, videos explaining every part of their business model, proof of community, etc) than anybody else. As for the licenses go ahead and show some sources to back up your claim. I don’t buy it. Celsius does everything they can to stay compliant but it’s not always so easy or black and white as there are multiple countries and regulators they deal with.

Hey genius https://www.kraken.com/en-us/features/staking-coins/ 6% yearly means you get 6% every year. It doesn't matter if you get payed weekly, monthly, daily or hourly, it's still 6% every year you baboon
A couple things you may be interested in: * Short MOON overview (by Kraken) * MOON price and market info (CoinGecko)
Daily reminder that Kraken has a page on moons, once moons go mainnet i expect kraken and coinbase listings pretty fast, and you can only guess what will that do for the price
Hi u/IllustriousTutor3902,
I can understand your concern about fees.
You can browse the fee table here to learn more about the fee structure for each of our offerings. You can get as low as 0% depending on your volume.
For large trades, we have an OTC desk service (deeper liquidity and a private, more personalized service). If this is your case, feel free to reach us if you have any questions.
Have a nice one!

Thanks! Funny I did not find it originally when checking their website. Looks like it will be limited to the US at first.
I guess that for European customers like myself, it will not be available before a few years.

Reddit heeft nu zijn eigen, echte crypto currency (bron 2). Karma wordt zo hoog speculatief, digitaal geld.
Ik vrees dat een socialistisch reddit nog ver weg is.

They are based in San Francisco: https://www.kraken.com/en-us/about

>Cryptowatch is a cryptocurrency charting and trading platform owned by Kraken. Our system serves live data on 400+ markets to clients around the world.
In order to buy Enjincoin (ENJ) you will first need to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum as ENJ can not currently be bought directly with Euro. In Europe, Kraken or Bitstamp are the popular exchanges for Bitcoin or Ethereum. Next step is to transfer your Bitcoin or Ethereum to Binance where you can then trade them for Enj.
For 100 Euros, you will pay around 5$ fees to transfer Btc from Kraken to Binance, then .5 % to trade btc to Enj. So around 6 Euro in fees.
For 200, around the same in fees. For 5000 Euro, around 8 euro in fees.
For a list of our security precautions please see this site: https://www.kraken.com/security/practices
Security is our number one concern.
As of recently, we have been backlogged with a number of support tickets that we have since caught up to. Our developers are currently working on upgrading our trading engine to accommodate the influx of users joining Kraken.

Not sure what the audit will entail, but they're working on an audit right now. Expected to see it this week, time will tell.
Their https://www.kraken.com/security/practices look fucking awesome though. But again, no proof. Also, their legal team does great things. Constance Choi has been doing great things. They're the type of people I'd love to work with.
But the jury is still out on where I stand. I use Kraken, love it, but have never seen any proof of anything. Hope the audit will help improve that situation.
The things I dislike about Kraken as a user on the verge of signing up for the site:
Good points I can find:
All said, I signed up with Vircurex and it feels more right, subjectively.
bitstamp or kraken.
i'd go for kraken; i did. has a great online help (https://www.kraken.com/help/faq#trading), clean ui with lots of data (https://www.kraken.com/market you don't have to rely on 3rd parties like bitcoinwisdom) and protects you eg. by blocking too large market orders. and they do litecoin too! the low volume slows you down, which might be a good thing starting out. eu/sepa transfers are fast (1-3 days) and thy have a system with stages of verification to get you started fast. just a name and phone number iirc and you are good to go with virtual currencies. verify more to increase limits and enable bank transfers.
Another happy Kraken user here. Their website is simply amazing, tons of great features, market orders, etc.. Also take a look at their Security Practices page (https://www.kraken.com/security/practices), everything seems pretty solid there.
Hi u/bnm777 👋🏻,
You may deposit directly GPB to your Kraken account.
Also, I am not sure of what path the above mentioned website has went for, but our Kraken Pro fees are on the competitive side. 🙂
Happy Sunday,

> Gas fee refers to the fee required to successfully conduct a transaction on the Ethereum blockchain. Gas fees are paid in Ethereum's native currency Ether (ETH) and denominated in gwei.
You can track the current gwei level on https://etherscan.io/gastracker
As for starting amount, no amount is too small. Best advice you’ll ever get is to always use DCA (dollar cost averaging) when investing (and transferring back to fiat eventually) to ensure you make the most money and limit volatility over the long term. Kraken have a good beginner guide: https://www.kraken.com/en-gb/learn/finance/dollar-cost-averaging
Buy on Kraken
Kraken - they meet your requirements on customer service, low fees, stability, and staking. They offer some coins that Coinbase doesn't as well, like XMR and NANO: https://www.kraken.com/en-us/prices?quote=USD
Thanks for the mention, Kraken is an exchange, not a wallet service. We provide clients the ability to deposit funds to our corporate wallet for safekeeping while the funds are being exchanged or used for trading or staking, but we do not provide a personal wallet service
As with most exchanges, funds sent to deposit addresses are moved to cold storage and hot wallets. Withdrawals are handled by the hot wallet and not the deposit address; the sending address for withdrawals will be different than the deposit address.
Hope that helps clear a few things up.

I love Kraken's explanation on DeFi! https://www.kraken.com/learn/what-is-decentralized-finance-defi
My most reliable source for finding up and coming DeFi projects has been keeping track on new exchange listings
