snip~
You may get the faster solution if you try to contact them via twitter but since its just few days then you need to calm down a bit, even I waited weeks to get an automated reply from coinbase and also many of my tickets were unanswered by them so just wait for some to take your case it certainly needs time.
I don't think that will have a guarantee to get a faster solution to his problem, it seems right now the Coinbase and Coinbase pro was busy upgrading their system and we hope they will include their poor customer support, it's 12 hours ago they announced of having an upgrade of their system and it is supposedly today.


People who had issues for months resolved when they try to give more pressure on their social media channels because admin of those accounts are real person so they can see your issue if it gets more attention from the other users so they will pass this to their customer support directly so it may get priority or atleast the visibility to the real person who is in customer support.

3543  Economy / Economics / Re: Food prices doubled this year on: March 06, 2021, 01:50:53 PM
After a year of this thread, I can clearly say that prices are increased but it is yet to be doubled in my region. Governments are increasing tax rates at the time of Pandemic not it is getting added to the actual price of the products and it will increase further when the new normal begins.

Which country you are residing in? Even if the tax rates are increased, that should not have much impact on the food prices. Because the governments almost never increases the tax on agricultural products. However, increasing oil prices may cause additional expenses in transporting food products. Here in my country there has been no increase in the food prices. We are paying the same rates that we used to pay before the pandemic.
It is not the issue with particular country, it is happening all over the world but the amount maybe unnoticeable but surely the prices are increased due to the tax change policies. You can think that few cents increase on the fuel price may not affect the food products but the transportation of raw material and the transportation or complete material, then importing transport will add and sump up a huge value for sure.
3544  Other / Meta / Re: Should the Scam Accusations & Reputation sections be more restricted/moderated? on: March 06, 2021, 11:36:30 AM
In my opinion those few posts are not big issues when we consider the amount of spam on other sections. I would like to have strict moderation on all over the forum because it is like we are again flooded with spam threads all over the forum due to the bull run?!


Exactly this. Majority of boards are swamped with useless/poorly constructed threads and those Scam accusation & Reputation boards are not really exception here.

That of course doesn't mean that there shouldn't be some order there, but if mods gonna enforce stricter rules, why not then do the same for rest of the forum, like Bitcoin Discussion and Altcoin board which are complete mess.


Its difficult to impose more restrictions as then it will harm the freedom of speech and also forum admins does not make the forum a jail for the posters.

There are already many ways available to stop the spam and one of them is to report the post. The mods are doing good job as most of  the reported posts, which are not up to the mark gets deleted.
Strict moderations doesn't means more restrictions, people are free to post what they want as long as they add some value to the discussion on the thread they are writing which seems missing on the discussion boards like Altcoin discussion,etc.

But I guess it is possible to see all the generated address in their account by logging into their desktop site.
Is this possible? I have no idea since I have never and will never own a Coinbase account, but if they do indeed show a list of all your previous deposit addresses then it should be trivial for OP to check if the address he sent coins to - 1Q6Boa9VQxxcCCNDKK1dennXSud1m5ALAc - is indeed associated with his Coinbase account or not.

Yes it is possible, and it can be seen only if user logged into their account and redirect to : https://www.coinbase.com/addresses

So they can see all the previous address used for deposit in the past since the account creation.

So your wallet and 2FA codes are safe and nothing to worry
There is no guarantee of that if he handed his phone over to a third party and left it in their possession for several hours, lock screen enabled or not.
There are multiple ways to unlock an iPhone without passcode or face Id but I am sure it can't be done with basic details like name and IMEI number. Or am I wrong?

*I hate Apple products... Grin
3547  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Iphone attack/hack? I was asked for name, number and IMEI on: March 05, 2021, 02:10:12 PM

Ok so I have disabled that phone as a trusted device for my wallet app.

I have also taken out the email password so that the phone no longer knows or store the email password on the apple server.

They did not ask me to unlock the phone, infact I made sure it was locked before I gave it to them


So your wallet and 2FA codes are safe and nothing to worry, I think they might asked you those details for billing purpose and it is impossible to replicate IMEI number because its unique identity for every sim slots so it can be created only once.

There is no such kind of fees collected in any exchanges I traded until now, you can still access the funds after years with no worries and no debit but I heard that some local exchanges have such fee like wallet maintenance fee which is similar to we pay year credit debit card fees to banks but I never met such exchanges yet.
3549  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Unable to login to Coinbase -- authenticator problem on: March 05, 2021, 10:04:12 AM
 Yesterday I got a support ticket from Coinbase but they haven't called me yet.

To complicate the issue, because of my phone issues I just ordered a Samsung Galazy M51 which should arrive tomorrow.  If the support person calls before I receive the new phone I should probably ask him to call again later after I get it.  I'll be keeping the same phone number, but I don't know what other implications there might be.  

Don't worry anyone from coinbase will never contact you on calls, everything will happen on the email chats. Even if you receive the new phone, don't restore it, just wait for your complications to get sorted because you may have some files which will be deleted if your restore them to factory reset.

Wah,, my name is there. Only 40 people participated in the quizz or its just a leader board?

Since this is the fun quizz why we need to cheat, just check the knowledge by yourself without cheating, if we wanted everyone can answer everything right by using random name first time and actual name second time.
3551  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Freewallet wrongfully promoting their services on news platform on: March 04, 2021, 05:56:06 PM
<...>
But, why only Freewallet mentioned? Haven't you heard about Freewallet freezing users account? What if the price of cryptocurrencies decreased at the time. The thing is, both Freewallet and exchanges are all offering custodial services. In this regard, Freewallet is not a good example, to be able to have access to your coin anytime you want, you need to have a noncustodial wallet, and Freewallet is custodial and not a good example, users do not have the private key to the coins they are having there on their Freewallet account, and not your key not you coin. Such inconveniences can occur on any platform providing custodial services, be it wallets or exchanges.
Because its just an sponsored advertisement, so people who are going to trust because of an article from Cointelegraph or any other reputed sites still they need to make enough research. Myself found that Freewallet is kind of shady/scammy wallet but also there are people who recovered their funds after providing the KYC documents they wanted which means people started using the wallet without know what are their ToS.

He made some profits with his previous tweet so did the same and got the reap as well because price again went to 50K from 44k, and it shows that cryptos prices cannot be controlled even by the richest people on the planet.
3553  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Freewallet wrongfully promoting their services with fake claims on news platform on: March 04, 2021, 01:55:57 PM
I don't know which you states that as false statement?

IIRC, coinbase went temporarily down multiple times at the time of price surge but they don't publicly stated that they were out of bitcoin storage and the same happened with Binance, maybe?

But freewallet mentioned that they are custodial and here to provide convenient service to people who don't want to take all the responsibility of their assets.
3554  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Unable to login to Coinbase -- authenticator problem on: March 04, 2021, 09:49:10 AM
Have you tried to check your clock time zone? try to change your time zone to the correct one and try to sync the authenticator again.
Time-based one time passwords (TOTP), which is what 2FA apps use, are based on Unix time, and so time zones are irrelevant.
I guess he is talking about time codes sync which can be the only problem can arise with authentication apps and its very simple to sync them again to correct codes by simply navigating to setting - time correction for codes  - sync again.

Just now figured out Nemo's knowledge about bitcointalk is much worse and managed to get only 7K points robably out of top 15 I guess, few questions I tried to click it faster so clicked the wrong one. Roll Eyes

Reported posts are reviewed by moderators and deleted manually if they agree. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong on that. [edit: hilariousandco responded first]
That is how it is supposed to be but moderators too humans and they can mistakes too so they can delete a worthy read post unfortunately. But when someone receives bulk reports against them and mod reviewed few posts and decides to delete all at once by simply clicking the delete and delete for every posts.
3558  Other / Meta / Re: Deleting posts. Need help. on: March 03, 2021, 02:38:06 PM
You didn't try to change your post habit even when you banned already for the same reason. Roll Eyes

  • Concentrate on quality more than quantity
  • if you are posting a lot on discussion boards again then nothing is going to be changed
  • move to the quality sections where the actual discussions are happening
  • try to read OP and other replies before making the one or two liner
  • don't just hit and run from a thread after you posted a post.
3559  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have an old laptop I purchased used in 2011 on: March 03, 2021, 01:57:33 PM
I will say its a waste of time, because you didn't store any bitcoins in that laptop right? even if you did still the chances of recovering the wallet.file is less to none since you formatted it and used it for one years? Which is enough time to rewrite on all the space of your hard drive for sure by considering the year.

Both disk formatting and repartition don't remove the data and there is still a good chance to restore file/s even after the year of the disk usage. Stellar Data Recovery did this for me when I lost the file after restoring OS via its backup image. During the restoration the old partitions were deleted while the  new ones were formatted. So it is always good to try, read my story if interested.


I read your story and in that you recovered the file immediately after the formatting which means chances of rewriting on the existing data is very less but here OP used the HDD for more than a year so keep maybe continuously install files, deleted files, fragmented it which will delete the old data for sure.But there is nothing wrong with trying when it doesn't cost much time and money.
