It took three days of downtime for MtGox to admit that
bitcoins were missing. @krakenfx is on day 2. I'm hoping
the same thing isn't happening at Kraken, but not confident.
***MAINTENANCE ANNOUNCEMENT***
Kraken is presently offline for maintenance.
While maintenance is underway, the website and API will
not be reachable, and orders will not be able to be
placed or canceled.
The Kraken Team

including Dropbox, Airbnb, Coinbase, Stripe, Reddit,
Zenefits, BuildZoom, Instacart, Twitch.tv, Machine Zone,
Weebly, Paribus, and Chinese startup Raven Tech. The
combined market capitalization of YC companies was over $80B.
With rate-limiting it means your account gets so much worse:
It is very shady that this isn't documented or allowed to discuss at all. It seems to be an between state, only slightly worse is the also shady "shadow ban", which features exactly the same symptoms but also hides the comment for public users - users can opt-in to see "dead" comments (via the user settings).
You/your employee rate-limited my account, and a few weeks ago your employee shadow banned my account for a slightly not adhering to the guideline comment. If stepping 3 times slightly beside the guidelines (that are a moving target, an interpreted subjectively) is "serially for years" something is wrong on the other side, I am sure.
I have a good history of comments, the guy who rate-limited my account showed my account the middle finger. And there is no way to get a normal account status again.
What a pitty that Paul PG Graham left, and it turned so much worse since then. I am done with writing comments here, I am sure there are other better websites around, I am leaving the sinking ship.
