Title: Coinbase Issues - Stealing Your Bitcoins??? Post by: JustOne on December 07, 2013, 05:08:27 AM I'm basically just blowing off steam, here. Figured some others may want to join.
4 hours ago I was trying to complete a 1.5 BTC transaction with another party from my Coinbase app which has built in wallets. Oddly, I got an error message saying error, it could not be sent. So I tried again. No luck so I scrounged up 1.5 BTC I luckily stored on another mobile wallet (risky stuff, I know). Well, 3 hours later I open Coinbase and see two 1.5 pending transactions had just started, destined for the same address from earlier. I'm hoping the other party is honest enough to return it. Hmmm. I get worried when basic software makes such huge mistakes like this and inothers in Coinbase's app. Title: Re: Coinbase Issues - Stealing Your Bitcoins???

I suppose actual functional ineptitude can be added to their long-documented selective scamming practices (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=106391.0). Learn to WoT (http://bitcoin-otc.com/), stop subjecting yourself to this nonsense (and supporting their continuation in the meanwhile, y'know?). Title: Re: Coinbase Issues - Stealing Your Bitcoins??? Post by: JustOne on December 08, 2013, 04:22:34 AM Thanks, I'll look into WoT. I'm currently working on a local face-to-face network, and a bit of hope here, my contact returned my message and said he would return them the next day. I'll believe it when I see it.
But, back to Coinbase. Obviously the pending transactions did get confirmed. Noo! I have had no response from them in almost 24 hours, but I expect them to take a day or two from past experience.

Post by: JustOne on December 18, 2013, 03:39:01 AM For the record, as of 12/17 7:30PM PST, the full 3.0 BTC were returned by the other party (that was awhile ago) and no response from Coinbase. Beware Coinbase's wallet client.
Title: Re: Coinbase Issues - Stealing Your Bitcoins??? Post by: outofservice on December 18, 2013, 04:15:26 AM I was shorted on an order Dec 6th and sent an email. My account balance reflects the coin is there so they must have fixed/filled the missing coin but I never received a reply to the email.
