Title: Coinbase Reveiws
Post by: rc-cola on November 06, 2013, 04:27:53 AM
Hey guys - Has anyone had any experience with purchasing bitcoin from coinbase? I was considering linking my bank account with the site in order to purchase BTC. Has anyone had any experience with purchasing from coinbase?  :P

Coinbase is pretty good. You can link your bank account. For the first month you have a limit of 1 BTC per day. Which should be waived once you verify your identity.

You should check the Service Discussion section. Quite a few people who aren't that happy about Coinbase.

Doesn't Coinbase just sell you numbers on a screen as opposed to real BTC?

I would not be holding an significant balances with them.

I've used coinbase for a few months now and haven't had any problems. I do buy through them and keep a small amount there, and transfer the rest to other wallets so I feel more secure.

I was just activated today. They raised it up to 10 buys per day and 50 sells for Level 1.

Here is one of the coinbase threads: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325021.0

It looks like they at least responded but many people are having problems.

I was considering opening up an account there as well, but now I'm not so sure.  Looks like it may have been a lot of people looking to sell into this run up in price.

Good Luck!

I have about 6 dollars worth of faucet money on coinbase and I'm still skeptical about linking my bank account with them  :P
