Hold up, they terminated your account and blocked your addresses? How do they even do the latter?  I believe there has to be a reason still, and perhaps you can try reaching their support with a neutral viewpoint. The problem of not receiving cash from Coinbase users might be a problem on their site, so you should check it with multiple users. Was there something wrong with your account information, like bank details or your identification?
They have to be actively lurking my website to find the public addresses and blocking them. I run a risque website that people try to demonetize, so my only assumption is people complain to them about being a potential source of income and Coinbase willingly obliges by blocking Coinbase users from sending coin to my addresses.

This is the only email I got, besides the one responding to my phone call telling me that they've allowed me to withdraw my currency.

The only relationship between my shitty drama website and Coinbase was a single referral URL in one post that was there for over a year. After they terminated, they still lurk the site to pull public addresses to stop donations. That is the only way the addresses that they've blocked could have been blacklisted.

It's like banning donations to 4chan or something. There's nothing illegal about my website or my business. I'm fully doxed, I gave them all of my government ID, I'm sitting in the U.S. mainland writing this post without a proxy. If I was breaking the law I'd already be up to my tits in red tape.

Months ago Coinbase banned me from their platform, refused to give any reason, and would only allow me to take out my coin after finding a robodialer phone number from my bank statements to complain to. Now that I am 100% off their platform, users from my website I've directed to Coinbase to use for buying BTC from have reported that my non-Coinbase addresses cannot receive coin. Not just BTC addresses, but LTC. That means Coinbase still actively lurks my website to find my publicly listed addresses just to ban them from being usable from the site.

AVOID COINBASE. USE LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.

What's the name of the site? Why are you being dropped? Is it from DoS attacks?
I'd prefer not to say. It contains dox. People with dox will spam abuse reports and sometimes threaten the support staff and CEOs of the companies around us.

This is a cautionary tale to all the bitcoiners out there. Just give up on the US.

I run a site that only gets about 300k unique users a month and 260m requests between them. Because it is a free, non-commercial discussion site (think 4chan), it has no revenue besides what people donate. It  is primarily about weird people on the Internet (think Encyclopedia Dramatica). All completely legal. It's been around for 5 years almost and we've never had legal trouble, except for people SWATing me.

We've been dropped by 20~30 VPS services. I am banned from PayPal, Patreon, Stripe, etc. Even Coinbase just closed my account, and the $500 in BTC/ETH/LTC transactions I had put in the week before were just deducted from my account before the transactions settled. So now it's just gone. I'm trying to get in touch but Coinbase has no public phone number and even their fraud number is robodialer hell.

At this point I'm trying to get some gear together and my own IP space so I can start my own VPS company directly under the backbone in the US. If this doesn't work, I have no idea what will. I'll either have to sink it into Tor/I2P space or wait for Skycoin to get its stuff together.
