Kraken Down Nearly 48 Hours, Gives Engineers Time to ‘Rest’ Before Resuming Service.
Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken is still down nearly 48 hours after the site initiated a system upgrade. Kraken engineers had estimated the downtime would only be two hours. Much like Gilligan’s three-hour cruise that went horribly wrong, Kraken users all over the Internet are raging over the downtime and asking difficult questions.
Its easier to take something offline and fix than to leave it online whilst active trading is going on. However, in saying this, this exchange is likely to fail while others take place. Cryptopia is still down too in the LTC/DOGE markets - they should be rotating markets. KuCoin is an upcomer in this field. Reference links in my bio if you havent already signed up.
