Title: Re: Coinbase Post by: vanchau on December 26, 2013, 08:57:02 AM They are a bay area Y combinator startup and also funded by FundersClub among other angel investors. They just also received $25M from Andreessen Horowitz which is a top VC firm and super smart guys. Going through this investment process alone makes them in my book as about legit as you can get.
I've heard of people having problems with coinbase, but it seems mostly due their risk analysis system where they don't allow certain users to purchase bitcoins perhaps after a request has been made. I don't know about this personally as it never happened to me. I've purchased over 100 BTC from coinbase. Never a problem. This includes instant purchases as well as purchases that takes many days to "clear". As with any startup, there will be growing pains, and bugs to work out both with the software as well as customer service issues and policies, but as far as legitimate honest business professionals, I trust them.

Title: Re: Coinbase Post by: bb420 on December 26, 2013, 03:52:09 PM coinbase = frustration. I currently have BTC there that has been stuck for several weeks, and I cant transfer it anywhere or move it to a paper wallet. Every transaction I make bounces back after 24 hours and is refunded to my account. Ask yourself, do you want to be in my situation? If so click, coinbase.com (http://coinbase.com)
Highly, highly, recommend you look elsewhere.

The only people that ever post problems are people using it as an exchange (looks weird with funds coming in and out of your bank account all day) or accounts flagged as high risk.
