Hey, you're fast!

I saw the same and came to post it. This has been happening a lot lately, check out this thread:
exchanges/bitcoin-exchanges-are-under-attack-t2724.html

Btw, I moved this under Exchanges from the general sub since it's specific to Kraken.

Ah I looked but there's so many topics I must have missed that, I thought "Trading" or "Speculation" was too specific. Good to know for future thanks for moving to appropriate location.

Kraken please do not pay! Do not give in and you will set a precedent.
