Add kraken to the currency ticker. #15

Kraken just opened up their DOGE exchange, here you can exchange DOGE for EUR. You might want to add this for the future European users.

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll consider using this once they have much more volume so the price is a good representation of the market. A rewrite of the exchange code is planned anyway. The current feed does the conversion DOGE->BTC->fiat, it would be good to have direct conversion and then maybe go DOGE->fiat->fiat (as Kraken's pairs are more limited then what we have now).

Alright, you make a good point. If I wish knew Java, I could help you. Kraken also seems to have currency pairs with both USD and EUR. Let's see if the exchange gets more volume!

Thanks! (TO THE MOON!!)
