I also think bitcoin will recover and go back to normal after some time. This is because, most people’s doubt/distrust will center around centralized exchanges and not bitcoin. The situation should be pretty easy to understand, you lost your coins because the exchange you’re using fucked up not because bitcoin is at fault. People who just entered the bitcoin market may leave but I'm not expecting those that have been watching bitcoin for years to do so as well - especially those that have witnessed exchange hacks.
The silver lining in all of that is we can expect this to create a way bigger distrust against centralized exchanges than it did back then. Although my gut tells me most people will just move to another centralized exchange once things gets comfortable again. I’m expecting a portion of them to slowly test the waters with non-custodial exchanges or true dexes and/or perhaps be cautious with how they use CEXes.

What's your use-case op? I'm not from there but if you're trading, I would check with the centralized exchanges you use (if any) if there's gonna be a problem with them as well as the crypto tax laws that may apply in your case, read this guide for general information: https://koinly.io/guides/Meta: probably move this in beginners and help as well so you get more responses? |

Their customer support hasnt replied in 3 days.
Ive found 4 more people with the same problem with SOL. Try to escalate your ticket number on twitter: https://twitter.com/AskBlockchain https://twitter.com/Blockchain Basically the only way i can see my SOL balance is through their phone app - This method works on any phone. It appears SOL is only available on their mobile app as I logged in on the web and couldn't find it? There's also a recent article about their new revamped app, see: https://medium.com/blockchain/new-blockchain-com-app-the-only-crypto-app-youll-ever-need-a4ea497f8f21Did you just started using blockchain.com for SOL? If I try to import my wallet to ANY other app my SOL balance appears to be 0.
If the address doesn't match, it's incompatible. I honestly couldn't find any information about their solana wallet and since this appears to be newly integrated I'm not surprised I couldn't find anyone trying to import their blockchain.com sol wallet when I hit the subreddits. Nevertheless, I've tried with the popular wallets and no luck - exodus, trust, phantom and crypto.com defi wallet. You may be stuck with their support for a while... |

Has anyone finally explained what kind of fulfilment of standards they are talking about here? we’re disabling access for accounts that no longer meet our updated standards for these services. I honestly don't expect them to ever tell us anything clear since they've been closing accounts this way for years - slap a notice out of the blue and tell you to withdraw. Yesterday I logged into Coinbase for the first time in about 4 months and was met with this message: Unfortunately we have had to close your Coinbase account. Before your account can be closed, you will need to withdraw your bitcoin to an external wallet and any other funds to an attached bank account. Please be sure to delete any references to bitcoin addresses generated by Coinbase, as bitcoin sent to those addresses will not be retrievable once the account is closed. If you have any questions you may contact us at support@coinbase.com.
I just withdrew all of my BTC from coinbase account and now i see this error :
Unfortunately we have had to close your Coinbase account. Before your account can be closed, you will need to withdraw your bitcoin to an external wallet and any other funds to an attached bank account. Please be sure to delete any references to bitcoin addresses generated by Coinbase, as bitcoin sent to those addresses will not be retrievable once the account is closed. If you have any questions you may contact us at support@coinbase.com.
Here is there response upon logging in to a closed account: Unfortunately we have had to close your Coinbase account. Before your account can be closed, you will need to withdraw your funds to an external wallet and any other funds to an attached bank account. Please be sure to delete any references to digital currency addresses generated by Coinbase, as funds sent to those addresses will not be retrievable once the account is closed. If you have any questions you may contact us at support@coinbase.com. I'm a long-term customer of Coinbase. Had an account and a card with them for years with no issues. Today I received this: Unfortunately we have to close your Coinbase account. Before your account can be closed, you’ll need to withdraw your crypto funds to an external wallet and your cash funds to a bank account associated with your Coinbase account. If you are currently enrolled in USD Coin rewards, you may want to wait up to 40 days before withdrawing funds to ensure you have received all eligible reward payouts. You will not be able to access these funds after account closure. Please take precautions when transferring cryptocurrency to an external wallet as transfers outside of Coinbase are irreversible. Please also be sure to delete any external references to cryptocurrency addresses generated by Coinbase, as funds sent to those addresses will not be accessible once the account is closed. If you have any questions you may visit https://support.coinbase.com. No reason why, nothing. Is it common? Anyone here also dumped by Coinbase just like that?  If they ever do due to public demand, it'll probably be something vague. for some reason, I received two emails with slight differences.
I guess we'll know on April 9, please update us if you can  Do you have a balance in your account? - that's not dust |

That makes sense now. I wasn't able to see any TOS as they would even allow me to see the homepage of their platform What I am curious about is if they still offer the instant exchange feature. The last time I check them, it seems they had changed the way they operate things to just buying and selling crypto for fiat. Is it still the case? There is no trace of an instant exchange on the website. Everything is about their new product which is basically a diet coinbase - you have an app for easy buy and sell and a pro version on the web for those wanting a trading terminal. On the pro version and from the screenshots available on their website, every trading pair is with fiat. I haven't had the chance to look into their app as I probably have to KYC in order to access it and there seems to be no support articles about it on their website either but I expect it to be more or less the same. Further, If they do ever offer crypto swaps in there, it wouldn't fit into the instant exchanges category since you have to do the tedious steps of making an account, deposing into your wallet first, etc... instant exchanges removed as a selling point. |

I took a look at noones' p2p marketplace and it's basically paxful lol. Their help articles [about the p2p marketplace] are also similar indicating they work similarly. https://paxful.zendesk.com/hc/en-ushttps://support.noones.com/hc/en-usFurthermore, some people are reporting they were automatically able to login to noones using their paxful login information. Note that this doesn't apply to banned countries in noones like USA, UK, Canada, etc. Signin with the same user/pass of the Paxful. You already have an account with noones if you have one with paxful. I did not use Noones and to use the Noones, just use your paxful info to sign in not signup oo to the account I just logged in noones with my paxful ceredentials Makes me think paxful just moved to a different jurisdiction under a new project... |

You forgot to remove coinswitch from the list mate  Now they are even geo-blocking users. Is anyone else able to access it or does anyone know from which particular jurisdiction they are accepting clients? According from their terms of service, they only service people from India but you can probably access the website from other countries as I used a Singapore IP for this lol. 2. User Registration
2.1 Before You register on the Platform by creating an User’s account with the Platform (“User’s Platform Account”) or use the Platform or Services at any time and from time to time, You represent and warrant that you...
...(d) are an Indian citizen, as contemplated under the Citizenship Act, 1955, (e) are a person resident in India, as contemplated under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, and (f) are physically situated in India at all times during which you use the Platform or Services (together, the “Eligibility Criteria”). If You do not meet the Eligibility Criteria, You shall not register on or use the Platform or Services. In case anyone is wondering, KYC is ofc mandatory. Once you’ve registered via a 5 minute KYC process, you can start trading 100+ coins with no lock-in period. You can start with as little as ₹100. |

I don't think there are still platforms that you can use that require no KYC at all. There are still some platforms that doesn't require KYC on your initial deposit, but over time they will still be requiring you to complete the pre-requisites, otherwise they will be holding your funds and your account hostage until you complete what they need. It's the way how things work nowadays for crypto; most of the services wouldn't allow you to proceed using them unless you complete their KYC.
There's a dex called bisq, no central authority and relies on p2p network similar to bitcoin and torrent hence protects itself from censorships. They don't hold user funds as well so there is nothing to hostage. There are some which sits in the middle - basically, centralized but doesn't hold user funds e.g. robosats However don't expect them to be as liquid as mainstream platforms and they may also not be beginner friendly. |

Nice initiative! but how do you plan to do this?
Mind you, the members can be skeptical (for good reasons) plus we have seen donation scams popping every now and then. Hence, before anything else, I suggest presenting a plan on how do you prevent their money from going to someone else's vacation trip.

@Dr.Bitcoin_Strange, @Potato Chips
Are you aware of
Salesq, kloser, growmeorganic, skrapp, kendo, getprospect and many others.
All this tools are use to extract mails from popular sites like linkedln, minds, and any other websites they want. Those tools are specifically design for email marketing.
Even with all the procedures you mentioned about scammers can still your mails providing that you use them to make registration on sites. Something they even go as far as buying those mails from places you use them for survey, spreadsheet registration and so on.
In one way or the other we can still get all this mails their is no way which we can completely ignore them, even when you blacklist the first one they will still come up with another email and continue sending.
The only things to do is to completely ignore the mail even when we receive them it's better off than way, but it's only few who know that those mails are truly scam will be able to resist such tempting offer.
They say greed is one thing that push someone to be a victim of scam.
As I previously said, they won't be able to solve the problem entirely and are only meant to minimize the damage. Scam/spam emails are indeed unstoppable but if there are ways so I can better handle them, I'd do it. Let's take compartmentalizing for instance. 1. I have less clutter on my main email accounts as I use temp emails to sign up for test accounts/lesser known services. 2. With email forwarding services I can set up unlimited aliases e.g. 1 alias for 1 service which I can easily nuke if it receives too much shit. 3. If one of my email accounts gets hacked, I limit the possible damage as I don't keep everything in one account. |

They have finally posted this on one of their Twitter accounts: https://twitter.com/CoinbaseSupport/status/1642812200468217856It seems like it's not about inactivity as much as again, the usual "suspicious activity". It was weird enough, although I haven't had funds for almost two years in my Coinbase account thus zero activity I haven't received anything like this, my last email was in November informing me that they migrated all pro accounts, probably they are disabling the verified accounts with basic info? Or the ones with expired information for those that have done KYC with passports? I don't think it's about inactivity as well. From what it looks like, accounts who did not meet coinbase's updated standards but had a balance (probably excluding dust amounts) are gonna be limited to send-only function. We’re reaching out to inform you that your access to Coinbase.com and the Coinbase app will be limited to only sending funds starting on 09 April 2023, as we’re disabling access for accounts that no longer meet our updated standards for these services. Your funds remain secure with us, and you’ll be able to send funds to other crypto wallets or services (subject to standard network and transaction fees), including Coinbase Wallet. Coinbase Wallet is our self-custody wallet, giving you complete control of your crypto. Coinbase Wallet supports hundreds of thousands of tokens and decentralized apps, so you can trade crypto, collect NFTs, and much more. |

Here are some CEXes with no mandatory KYC - means they can still request your information later down the line Instant Exchanges: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5218464.0Full-fledged trading platforms: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5414539.0If you're not familiar with a particular exchange, you may search their threads in the forum using your go-to search engine by appending "site:bitcointalk.org" Aside from instant swaps, do you have any other planned use cases op? If so, I suggest mentioning them, that way you'll get better responses so people can narrow down the candidates. |

Pretty common and low effort scam but of course, someone out there will fall for it. However, I'm not entirely sorry for your friend as this means they were trying to claim someone else's money...
In any case, email addresses gets passed around a lot hence it's inevitable to not get a couple of scam emails in one of your mail boxes. I suggest keeping your email addresses private as much as possible and compartmentalize - create multiple email addresses to segregate important stuff to non important stuff. They will not solve the problem entirely but it does a good job at minimizing the damage.

Thanks for the heads up. Did a quick digging and it appears they've been having wallet problems recently March 15, their bitcoin wallet had a major outage and people cannot withdraw, see: https://twitter.com/Pledditor/status/1636153576895520768March 21 and present, problems with bitcoin send outs were identified again though tagged as "low impact" Apr 1, 16:00 UTC BTC Sendouts are under maintenance
Mar 21, 15:47 UTC (Identified) - BTC send-outs are under maintenance. All transactions are being processed but there may be delays in sending funds. and now USDT and BTC deposits aren't reflecting. |

Hmmm. Note that you don't have to be great at the start, in fact, it's normal to be that way. Take it one step at a time.
You may also feel like you have to teach others every time but that's incorrect as you could always ask people something you're curious about and start an engaging conversation which is what the forum is for, however do be careful of creating redundant threads.

If you're planning to involve fiat, I think it needs to be a decentralized exchange. I'm not talking about hybrids or pseudos but an actual one like bisq.network - p2p, private, does not hold funds. Because so long as it's centralized and can be controlled it will receive regulatory pressure if the exchange has gained significant volume.
