Bitcoin Forum

I am here today to tell you about our horrible experience with coinbase.com a so called bitcoin merchant. For starters they have horrible customer service both for customers and there own very merchants. Just to get help with a problems takes days even weeks because they have no clue what each other are doing you get passed around there service center like a good bag on nutz.I have opened and managed many successful businesses and have dealt with many other business and by far this is one of the worse I've seen. Secondly if your developing a website based on coinbase or there API i would stop right now and look into other options don't make the same mistake i made because this will cost you a lot of time and money when you finally complete your project and coin base works one day and fails you the next. They don't have sandbox accounts and they don't let you register multiple accounts to validate and verify your store.They force you to mix your personal account with your business which can be very confusing as well. They have a very poor verification process that literally picks up anything and when i say anything i mean anything. Log into your account from a different IP. Try to buy to little amount of bitcoin or to much even.There entire algorithm sucks and honestly does not work at all its filters everything out but the fraud because if it was honestly working you would not see all the complaints on this company and they would not experience all the fraud. Also a word of advice coinbase.com has a Major security flaw that i informed them of and they took no note on the matter and froze my account again for bringing this to there attention. There bank verification is stone age and retarded. Lets pretend here something no way am i endorsing my self or anyone to do this but upon using my own very account i stumbled across this matter by mistake because people that deal with cyber security as my self have a very good eye on picking out weaknesses. There system allows a person to use any bank account login credentials and as long as you have a login name for lets say bank of America you can use that login to add or link any bank account you want from that same bank so if i have an account number from lets say subject A to bank of America and i have a bank of America account or happen to know someone's login i can use subject A's routing and account number and verify it with Subject B's login credentials. This is serious because it allows not only coinbase to experience major fraud but it also allows consumers and the American people to be victimized through coinbases system. We at Virtual CoinBox have become a victim of coinbases bias and prejudice system and techniques they use and there mistreatment because of them we are forced to redesign our entire API integration and our merchant to make virtual coinbox a successful bitcoin community which has been delayed in its launch date again now because of coinbase.com lack of professional conduct to provide services to business to my self professionally. We are currently looking for a relationship with gocoin.com and we hope to have a successful and long relationship with them. And as for coinbase they can go to hell and there EGO will be the very thing to bring that company to its knees.

You have to be kidding.

Any response from Coinbase on this?

I am also having a difficult time in contacting coinbase. Any person(s) out there that could help, please advise. I'm getting nervous my $1,600.00 investment may be going, going gone.

Surely you are mistaken?  That would be crazy.

Can anyone confirm?

Yes obviously coinbase is like this. Do not agree to their new terms.  If you do and someone files class action lawsuit which i'm sure it will happen one day, you wont be entitled to anything.

This company has ripped off so many people, done so much false advertising it is not even funny.

It's weird how every talking head keeps spouting off about Coinbase and how great it is for bitcoin community. While in reality, the company is turning into a Trojan horse and worst enemy of financial freedom.

lately i read only bad things about coinbase
