    Different. A full trading exchange rather than a simple retail exchanger.

    Mostly good reports but honestly I have had a similar experience there as theMike78 has had at Coinbase. Could not get verified and no answer to support emails.

    Gemini.com seems to be the current best option for a Coinbase like experience (simple/easy to understand) but with lower fees and better CS.

    Hmmm I was verified to level 2 in less than an hour. Gemini accept U.S. customers?

    I've never has an issue with CB. I buy BTC about 2 times a month on debit. I use Bit Stamp as well. No issues.

    Yea it's sad you could dominate the industry by just giving mediocre service and a number to talk to a customer service rep.

    If you are verified and happy with the trading exchange setup, then Kraken probably better than most options.

    Gemini is US licensed but is a retail exchanger like Coinbase, not a trading exchange like Kraken. Owned by the Winklevoss Twins I believe.

    IMO it is. Their wire withdrawals still take a week though. There are a bunch of other cryptos you can trade on Kraken and they are much more responsive to email inquiries.

    GDAX is the best if you are US. And you can trade for free with limit orders. Bank transfers are free and fast and the money is safe - they are part of Coinbase. Kracken is inept and the platform is horrible.

    i'm at tier 2 with no extra info... so if i withdrew $10k it would be wire rather than just direct withdrawal?

    i imagine i can just leave the cash sit there like coinbase? will be doing mostly withdrawing bitcoins to kraken

    Coinbase stinks. They took money out of my bank account today, but I still have to wait another 6 days before they will send me by BTC. A 10 day waiting period is beyond ridiculous.

Glad I only lost about a hundred with this scam place.
    I have emailed them twice and got responses. Hopefully I don't have a problem . They keep trying to get me to use a key for my phone but I won't use my phone to get on line.
