Title: Buying bitcoin on Coinbase- 10 days transaction time Post by: Noobitropical on July 31, 2017, 04:24:29 AM With August 1 almost upon us, is it ok to buy bitcoins from Coinbase? The reason I ask is that they have a 10 day transaction turnaround and want to be sure with the potential split that my $ won't get lost in the shuffle. Plan on transferring it to a non-custodial wallet once it arrives. Ok idea or is there a better way to buy BTC before Aug. 1? New at this so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

If you are purchasing after that date, then you are forfeiting your right to claim the BCC tokens. And there is no need to distrust Coinbase. They have been around for so long, and I don't think that they will ever run away with your money.

I'd advise you to use localbitcoin to find someone who will sell you BTC today Title: Re: Buying bitcoin on Coinbase- 10 days transaction time Post by: tiggytomb on July 31, 2017, 06:26:15 AM I think coinbase is having some issues recently with withdrawls taking ages, I am sure I saw an email from them saying the would not support BCC. Maybe there is somewhere else you could make your purchase if you want BCC as well.
