Post by: Aozora21 on March 28, 2013, 02:46:15 PM ive had no problems with coinbase. it takes a few days for my coins to show up in my account, but when they do, i just xfer them to my offline wallet... although i doubt i have enough coins for anyone to hack my account and clear out.

I was able to buy my 10 over the course of about 10-15 minutes by buying 1 or 2 at a time.. just hope my bank doesn't freeze my account because it looks so suspicious. edit: coinbase's daily max limit is a rolling limit, not a specific point in time where the limit is cleared. the 6am time they give in the notice is just a suggestion where more are most likely to be available, but you can get them any time if you only get 1 or 2 Title: Re: Buying coins with card/paypal etc?

Post by: KarmaUK on March 28, 2013, 04:18:19 PM Being a 'newbie' can someone confirm why/how you are hitting your 'limit'.
Are you buying coins with cash or mining? So confused by it all :) Title: Re: Buying coins with card/paypal etc? Post by: Aozora21 on March 28, 2013, 04:23:42 PM coinbase's limit is one that they personally set for whatever reason.. lack of the ability to quickly get coins may be one of them.. but i dont know for sure.
Title: Re: Buying coins with card/paypal etc? Post by: KarmaUK on March 28, 2013, 04:26:47 PM What I meant was, say the limit is 10, are people buying these coins with their own cash? 10x$90=$900 which is quite a lot of money if they're doing it multiple times daily!?
Or are these people loaded? Title: Re: Buying coins with card/paypal etc? Post by: Aozora21 on March 28, 2013, 04:46:00 PM i dunno how long its been around, but consider if people wanted to buy more than 10 when they were worth $5. it would be annoying, but now thats the price is as high as it is.. i dont think the 10 personal limit matters much, whats annoying is bitcoins global limit of BTC that can be bought, the ARE working on upping that limit last i heard on their twitter page. but even the 10 personal limit isnt really a daily limit.. i bought 10 of them at like 8pm, buy 2am i was able to buy another 6.. but yeah.. i had already given them $900 so i passed
