#4This is really bad. I hope they can handle everyone withdrawing their funds as soon as they are back online.

#5At least they are communicating. Hopefully there will be a postmortem.

#6They erased this glorious status update:
> I fell asleep at my desk. In a dream, the ghost of a butterfly from the future whispered to me "the dollar hit 0 bitcoin". I wake up, people around me dabbing the blood from their eyes. Progress has been made but not enough. I crack my whip -- "we aren't getting to zero like this!". The flogging will continue until morale improves. Expect another update after I make my rounds. I'm sorry I've let you down. Jan 12, 03:11 UTC

It's scary. Why not just revert to the old engine when things started to fell out of place? Having the exchange down for that long is bound to have a big backlash when it comes back online.
They should have put a Kraken 2.0 trade engine alongside the first one, and moved people gradually there. It doesn't matter how confident they were with the upgrade before it happened, it's crypto, everything is new. A few lines of wrong code and you can lock millions of dollars in multi-sig wallets.
I have most of my funds there because their eur SEPA transfers worked very well. I really hope they can get back in shape after it comes back online.

You have to differentiate between the social media person and the actual engineers.
