I'm pretty sure Kraken has a team of guys who purposely freeze orders for 90 seconds each time so they can decide whether to fill it or not based on how bad it would be for you at the time it finally goes through. They probably take the other side.

A team of Monkeys is probably giving them far too much credit.

Kraken is such a joke, I just clicked their "read more" link about their upgrades to fix congestion and got an error page.

Did you read the article? Or can you just not wrap your brain around the concept that speed and fees are not the be all and end all.

One for the all the ripple bulls, seems reasonable to me, anyone got any rebuke?

The fact the initial article demonstrated a poor grasp of combinatorics (since corrected, as mentioned at the bottom of the page) makes me wonder what else the writer is writing about of which he doesn't know what he doesn't know.

At least all 4 of them are doing significantly better than BTC over last 7 days.

The top 100 coins are doing better.

I think it's now fair to ask if it will hit by xmas? Lots of the bitcoin/litecoin sellers should be piling in any day now. The weekend should be interesting to say the least.

They are going to grow this ****er as much as they can and then create an unimaginable number of financial derivatives to churn and burn wanna-be traders on.

It's been around since 2014. Looks like it's having its first pump n dump.

I checked out the site and clicked on the Team link to see who developed it. The link just goes to a free website builder lmao

easiest way for USA customers to buy some alt coins? assuming we have to move money from coinbase to binance since we can't deposit directly to binance? is this easy and painless? Still pretty new to crypto. Thanks for any insight. Great thread!

Browsing all of the different poker skypes, telegrams and discords it seems ICX may be mostly owned by poker players at this point :P
