Bitcoin Forum

Just a quick heads up folks in case this is, or becomes, a widespread problem:

I am currently unable to withdraw (send) BTC from Coinbase. The Coinbase interface has not recognized any of the three wallet addresses and 2 exchange addresses I have attempted to withdraw to so far.

The message promulgated by the Coinbase UI when I entered these addresses reads, "Please enter a valid BTC address". All 5 I used are indeed valid BTC addresses.

I have opened a support ticket and will post any relevant information I receive in reply here.

(Is this the most relevant thread to post this information in I wonder?)

Experiencing the same issue. Currently unable to withdraw BTC from Coinbase. Also receiving "please enter a valid BTC address".

Same as well. It started for me over an hour ago. This and a post on Reddit was all I could find about it. I hope it's resolved soon.

Same here.

Day spent yesterday researching alt coins and then verification issues.... new day and unable to sent my BTC to any other exchange! FFS!

Busy weekend and back in work Monday, looks like I will just hold BTC forever  ::)

Getting the same error so came here to check. Thank God it's not for only me. Raised a ticket, let's see what is the real issue.

I was able to move my money into a wallet via mobile app and QR code. It had 'substantial network fees' ($10 on $20) but it worked.

I need to find a new market though, Coinbase is killing me in fee's

Save on fees = GDAX?

I guess veterans would be better answering this topic seeing im a noobie :)

I am experiencing the same problem and from what I can see, everyone is experiencing the same thing and at least that has made me relaxed a bit. I sent some ticket to support as well, though unanswered yet, but from the look of things, it should be a technical problem which should be rectified soon.

But man! I was scared  ;D ... Thought I had been locked out or something.

Can anyone recommend an alternative wallet please?  Looking to get trading alt coins today!

Minimal fees please - will only be depositing £50-100 p/time.  

Me too "Please enter a valid BTC address".

Anyone got any updates?  :-[

ok cool so im not insane' ugh (Please enter a valid BTC address)

Same here. I'm pretty nervous about this after reading that the IRS is trying to get records from Coinbase:

Have they locked our accounts?

WTF did you think was going to happen on a centralized exchange where you have to give up all your info and a blood sample? They even tell you that they will hold your money for whatever reason that want to make up, and they control your private keys because you have money on the exchange and it's not your wallet it is theirs. So it is very risk using Coinbase I've always despised them.

Yeah me too. I got crazy when it didnt recognize my address. I though my account was hacked or something. When i googled coinbase i got this. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-10/coinbase-likely-to-lose-bid-to-block-irs-probe-of-customer-gains i hope it helps. I hope coinbase will do something about this

No updates to report so far I am sorry to say. I imagine their support team will soon be overwhelmed by support tickets if they have not already been so.

Coinbase should be tweeting the hell out of this news if they have been compelled to freeze withdrawals. And they should not be accepting new purchases either - which they undoubtedly still are. F**kers.

They've just taken my money in the last few minutes and now have it locked. And not a word. Utter shower of sh*ts.
I'll not be using them again.

Is there any update? I am also having the same issue. "Please enter a valid BTC address"

whats the best alternative to coinbase we should be looking into? any suggestions? 

Exodus or Jaxx are both great wallets!

I think i'll use Kraken

Ive sent from coinbase using the app and using the QR code, that works. When I was entering the address it was saying that the BTC address was not working, but scanning QR codes seems to work.

Thanks.. that worked for me too

I'll give it a go myself - once I have the app installed etcetera, etcetera.

I can scan the qr, but when I hit send it just stays on the same screen. Doesn't work.

Always worked fine for me, and will always use it.

thats not ideal, maybe refresh the app....make sure it hasnt gone through and try again

I have managed to withdraw my BTC using the app. Curiously the app crashed as soon as I pushed send.

I attempted one last time to withdraw the BTC on my PC prior to using the app with no success.

Error fixed.  ;D

use vpn and connect USA than log into your coinbase .It will work i think,Its worked for me.
