Will shift be listed on any other exchange?

Is the only safe way to receive funds that can't be reversed either a bank wire transfer and cash deposit at bank at end of day etc?

I went to coinbase site.  I notice they have a toll free 888 number available.  Has anyone contacted coinbase via phone call?  So they actually help you with the situation on the phone?  Or its best to just email them?


Also is it better to ask coinbase question about my 2FA issue by emailing them directly with my email address and my question... or fill in the question and my email on their support web site?  Or are both the same?  I thought one might be faster than the other?



Anyone who do not have their 2FA device can chime in here?

Can others confirm here they opened a brand new 2nd coinbase account.  Then contacted coinbase on this and then sent them their verification documents?  Once they do that, they will transfer any btc or usd balance you have to the new coinbase account ... is that correct?

Okay so lot of you seem to be very confused with the details.


I get btc from gambling sites.  I withdraw btc from gambling sites.  I have a coinbase account but i haven't used it because of an issue.  None of the btc i have goes through coinbase.  The person who i sell btc to for bank transfer, he told me last time his coinbase account got closed because he sent directly from coinbase to a gambling site.  Example i sent him bitcoin from my bitcoin wallet to his coinbase bitcoin address.. which is no issue because my btc wallet is my own wallet.  Then he sent the btc directly to gambling site.


The thing is he wanted me to send btc directly to another gambling site account but me send it directly because he no longer has coinbase account.  But he did tell me... you can send it to my exodus wallet instead.  So i thought its probably safer that way right?


Also the gambling site that he wants to deposit btc into, i also have an account in that site as well but i had an account a long time ago.  I also used btc to deposit/withdraw from that site.  But i thought if i deposit btc into that btc address that gambling site ask him to deposit into, i wanted to know... would they be able to tell wait a minute.. the btc coming into us is coming from a btc address that another user previously have used to deposit btc into his account many times.  Does that make sense?  The thing is could they flag that somehow? 


Then again... shouldn't this not matter because i thought of another thing.  Let say some ppl withdraw btc from another gambling site and want to withdraw btc.  Instead of having that gambling site send btc to their btc wallet like electrum or exodus, imagine they have that gambling site send btc to another gambling site they want btc at.  If that is the case, wouldn't that mean that other gambling site would notice they receive btc from users who use the same btc address assuming the other gambling sites pay out btc from the same btc address to their customers?


Also about the mixer thing.  So how long does that take and how much money does it cost extra?  Let say for example i want to send btc from my wallet to a site or say coinbase.  I want it mixed.  How long would this process take and how much would it cost extra?  Its just another btc sending fee and thats all?  So that mean when btc goes to other wallet such as coinbase or anyone, they can't see it originated from my btc wallet?  Then what will the history look like?  Wouldn't it also look fishy to coinbase though because it would look like the transaction is fishy if it was used through a mixer which could have them freeze your account?

He wants to have btc deposited into a certain gambling site.  He sent me screenshot of the btc address where it says deposit x amount of btc to this address.  So its like i would be making the deposit for him from my btc wallet.  Previously i would send btc to him and the btc address he gave me was his coinbase.  So to me, this is not a problem.  But he then sent directly to another gambling site etc... which got his coinbase account closed.


Now i said, the other thing would be me sending btc from my wallet to his exodus wallet.  Then he deposit btc from his exodus wallet to that gambling site btc address given to him by that site.  I wanted to know, do i need to take this step as oppose to sending btc directly into his gambling account.  Because my issue is... i also have an account and that gambling site as well where i previously deposited via btc from my same btc wallet.


So basically i have 2 options.  The first im concerned if the site would think its me having 2 accounts.  But im pretty certain his account was already verified etc.  And the other option of sending it to his exodus wallet and then him depositing btc to that site, then well it would be no problem for me because when he does that, he would be sending btc directly from exodus to that site... yes i know there is still a chain... but it would be from his ip address... not mine.

Hi there.  I keep btc in my own wallet.  i don't use coinbase.  So it would be from my personal wallet.  The thing is back then i always send btc to his btc address which he tells me was his coinbase wallet.  But he then sent the btc directly to a gambling site directly.  That is what got his coinbase account closed. 


And since now he wants btc, he said could i send btc directly to another gambling site since his coinbase account got closed.  Then i thought... wait a minute... i would be sending btc directly to the address shown for him where they ask him to deposit into this account.  And i previously had deposited btc into that same site a while back with my same btc wallet.  So i thought, would it look a bit like I opened a 2nd account in that gambling site since btc deposit would trace to my address?  Like would their system detect something like this such as okay this person who deposited btc into this site, this address has been used before as deposit from another user.  Does that make sense?


I get what you mean sending coin from one address to another before sending it to another gambling site does not break the linking chain at all.  But well they would see when he deposits btc into the gambling site account, well its coming from his ip address and not mine.  Does that make sense?  Now if i was depositing directly into his gambling account with btc, then it would show my ip address.  Well i dont want to use mixer, i never did and dont want to make it complicated.


But based on what i describe here, more safer me sending my btc from my wallet to his exodus btc wallet first and then he send btc to gambling site right as oppose to the 1st option?


Would me sending btc directly for him probably be an issue?  Yes i thought to myself... wait a minute, this might look like im opening multiple account etc.

Hey all got a question.  I know you should not be sending directly from sites like coinbase directly to gambling site because coinbase can close your account.  I read this happened to many people.



Now one question i have about this.  There is one gambling site that i use.  I have sent btc to deposit and withdraw with btc with that same btc address.  Now i have a friend who i sometimes sell btc to and then he would send me bank transfer.  He would need the btc so he can deposit it into gambling site.  So what i do is then send it to his btc address.  Then he send it to gambling site.  I know what site he uses because i recommended it to him a while back when he wanted to know what site is good.  This is with btc gambling site number 1 lets call it.  He told me his coinbase account got closed not long ago... reason is pretty obvious, it was most likely because he sent directly from coinbase to that gambling site without it going through an intermediary like blockchain or electrum.



He wants me to send him btc again as he would transfer me money via money transfer.  He then gave me the btc address he wants me to send to which is directly that gambling site's btc address.  This is another gambling site but I have an account on that site as well.  Lets call that gambling site number 2.  Then i thought... well i also have an account at that same gambling site.  This was also the same with the other gambling site number 1 he use to send btc to but i would send from my wallet to his coinbase and then he send directly to that gambling site.




But in this situation, would me sending btc directly to the btc address that gambling site wants him to deposit btc into be an issue because



1.  They see the btc is coming directly from my btc address as a deposit and I deposited btc many times with this btc address?  I know btc transactions are not anonymous.  So it might look like i have multiple accounts because of this reason?  The guy likes to bet on sports which is why i would sell him btc for bank transfer many times.


Or this should not be an issue at all?


Or its best if i send the btc to another one of his btc address?  He did tell me he has an exodus btc address.  So better safe to send btc to his exodus btc address... then he send to that gambling site right?

Well i use google authenticator for bittrex and binance.  I have a private key for each of these.  I log into each with google authenticator. 


But with coinbase, this was with my old phone which no longer works.  So you are saying that i had to gotten a backup key then right with coinbase similar to like how i did with bittrex and binance?  I am not 100% sure but i believe when i logged into coinbase a long time ago, i needed to log in with google authenticator.  But my sms number is the same though which is used for coinbase.


Yea its google authentictor.  But as long as i have the same sms number connected to account, that is fine right?

Hi there.  Yes i have the sms number linked to this coinbase account.


Also, do you always get a the private key code similar to like bittrex when you first create account with the 2FA? 


So that means my 2FA was google authenticator right and not my sms phone number based on my situation?

First off, i created this coinbase account many many years ago.  I used my phone number sms for verification.  I am not 100% sure if i sent them verification documents to verify my account.  The thing is i never bought any btc on coinbase but did have some btc there.


I used my sms phone number for verification.  For 2FA, i am close to 100% sure i used google authenticator for it to log in.  But you could also used your sms number as that right?  But i don't think i did this because when i tried to log into my coinbase last time... i have the correct email and password, it didn't allow me to log in because of 2FA.


Yes i contacted coinbase email support on this.  They basically told me a while back to create a brand new coinbase account, then send in verification documents, then once verified, they would close the old account and transfer any old funds in old coinbase to new coinbase account.  But like others here said, wouldn't this sort of break their TOS since they are creating a 2nd coinbase account?  But it seems this is only option to get back any funds in the old coinbase account?  I want to know if anyone here has done this specifically as had support tell them create 2nd coinbase account with different email address, then verify with their documents and then tell support you doing this because you no longer have your 2FA device anymore and transfer any funds to the new account. 

I created a coinbase account a long time ago.  I used an iphone and i verified my account with my sms phone number.  I don't remember if my 2FA was google authenticator or sms number.  It can be either right?  Because last time when i tried to log into my coinbase account on computer, i could not do it. 



I contacted coinbase on this and they said i need to create a brand new coinbase account with a different email address.  Then upload a selfie for verification.  Then tell them about the situation so any funds i have in that account will move to the new coinbase account.  I was skeptical at this since it meant creating a brand new coinbase account.




To anyone that lost their 2FA phone, is this the proper way to do it?

How are there withdraw fees compared to coinbase and bitstamp in terms of withdrawing to us bank account?

I'm curious but are there ppl that doesn't think 0.1 btc will be worth that much?

But why did edgeless drop so much then? 

Just to confirm.  If you lend binance 1 btc... as long as you extend it every 2 weeks, you are guaranteed 1.03 btc at the end of 1 year?  Or not because its not like a bank and not insured?


That sounds pretty crazy.  If someone has like 10 btc, they are gettin back 10.30 btc a year just for letting binance hold it?  Wouldn't that mean ppl who have a good amount probably should do that as oppose to keep it in their wallets?  Or there is still lot of risk in this?

So basically all of us that has beancash.. its basically now worthless?

Wait they are relisting beancash on bittrex?

Can you explain this?  How does that work?  So you telling me say you lend 1 btc to binance, every 14 days, you need to extend it manually.  Do it for 1 year... then your 1 btc will now be 1.03 btc... is that correct?
