Great topic to read. Thank you for all the posts. I will try electrum.
Has anyone tried Exodus Wallet (desktop)?
Exodus wallet is also good. It allows you to store the seed phrases, has an exchange, stores private keys locally. But does it allow using custom fees? I'm not sure about that. Somebody else could help you out on this one. |

Haven't used it because I do not own an iPhone. But looking at the offered features I can say it may be a safe choice. As they promise that your data is under your control. As long as you own the seeds/private keys/keystores of your wallets, I think you're good to go.
This wallet also has some exchange feature which might be handy.

Well, I've never used Coinbase to be honest, and that's because of various opinions about their platform. I've noticed that many people have problems with Coinbase, so I decided to use other cryptocurrency exchanges like Kraken or CoinDeal. I've been still using the second one and I can recommend it, never had any problems with withdrawals or deposits. What's more CoinDeal has its mobile app too, but it's still a pretty new topic.
It's not about Coinbase being an exchange. It's about being a wallet mostly used by newbies. You don't own your exchange addresses. So basically, you are not in control of your money after depositing. Despite being scammed by well-known exchanges are rare, they can still get hacked or act like an exit scam. It is highly recommended not to store funds for long term in exchanges. Get your own wallet and store them there. |

why don't you add the android wallet that from blockchain.com? because until now i still use that wallet to store my bitcoin and i think the app is very easy to use Blockchain is an online based wallet service. And any web wallet is prone to hacking. I mean it is less secure than wallets like Electrum or like hardware wallets. |

For Beginner and newbie don't search Ledger website on search engine machine like google, because I found fake ledger hardware wallet appear on there today.  Always check it before and put exactly https://www.ledger.com/ Don't put the only ledger on search engine  Googling properly and getting necessary search results are kind of a skill too. Everyone should keep into account that what link they are clicking, is it some sort of phishing site or an advertisement and so on. If someone overlooks these things, it's really easy to get scammed. Always check the links you're visiting and try to use some internet security software to reduce risks of being affected by malware or phishing. |

I have been using Coinbase for over two years and have never had any problems with them. I make transactions via Coinbase about once a week.
The only issues I've heard of are when someone uses their addresses for casino games or sports betting.
In my opinion, this is the safest exchange on the market, but of course I never recommend keeping large amounts on web wallets.
I've used Coinbase too. If you keep anything there that you can't afford to lose, it is risky. It may be called the safest exchange, it has like 98% of their funds in cold wallets, but keeping funds in any exchange is risky. I wrote this about Coinbase specifically because it is the most widely used wallet for newbies. Anybody can easily set up an account, deposit and start using it instantly without any backups or so. It doesn't offer the keys of the addresses too. So basically, all your funds are in their hands. Why would anybody blindly trust them? I didn't have issues until the number 3 happened. Of course, keeping funds in the wallets to which you do not have a private key is extremely risky. The same as keeping funds in wallet to which someone else has a private key (not just you). In both situations what happen with funds depends on the honesty of other person. Coinbase was created for less experienced users, which is why it is probably the most user friendly on market. When it comes to delaying transfers, they do so for security reasons. They are simply afraid of being accused of money laundering. It is possible that they do it too carefully. And what about the app part? Why does the transaction go through on the app and not on the website? You can see there's something going on here. |

If someone sends email in bulk then it may be received into your junk or spam folder but sometimes even a legit email will be received there so you need to be careful which clicking these links. Someone suggested an idea to what is hidden on the links recently like copy the link address from the link and paste it on somewhere like notepad and see where it actually leads to.
Well, only hovering works too  But seriously speaking, I got tired of these emails from PM and never looked for them again. This is rather annoying because they give you that hope  I get an email of 500 USD deposit, I log in and boom, there's nothing. I don't wanna be that guy |

1: Don't use Coinbase at all
Not just coinbase but all the online wallets and exchanges are risky to store your coins on them. But we cannot live without them because we need some of the coins to be on exchanges or on online wallets for many purposes including send/receive of the coins. I would recommend to keep small amount on coinbase and keep your major savings on hardware or desktop wallets. Why so? If we want to exchange, we can just deposit and exchange. Well, if you're trading there to earn profits then that's another story. But if trading is not someones occupation, there's really no need to store any funds on any exchange. I targeted mainly on Coinbase for it being widely used. |

These kind of scams often affect aged people and try to take away their savings. It is advised to everyone to become more knowledgeable about using the internet to do any kind of financial transactions, be it crypto or fiat and always watch out the addresses they get suspicious e-mail from.
But this may get off topic...
I got many spam e-mails from Perfect Money about money being deposited to my account. And that sender email came from their official .is domain. Well, they always ended up in the spam folder. So sometimes it is hard to differentiate about what's going on with the money-related websites.

I don't think there's any restriction on how long the app has been installed. I had it for like 2-3 days. So it doesn't really matter. Try it. I hope it'll go through. Because as I said, it doesn't even require the 2FA when sending crypto. So there's a big chance that your transaction will go through instantly. Try it. Hope this helps.
Thanks, it works I thought it won't work but it works. What is the reason why it works if you use apps than desktop? Well, the transaction already get 1 confirmation so it means it works and I see my wallet right now shows my transaction and up coming transaction. Told you. The app only requires 2FA when signing in from the first time. After that it's rather easy to send transactions without using 2FA at all. Enjoy and don't deposit that much again in there. Use something like Electrum to store coins. You'll be able to send for a much smaller fee than Coinbase. |

The title should be: DON'T USE COINBASEThe things mentioned above are usual in any legit exchange. I don't see any popular and big exchange that doesn't involve on those concerns listed above. Because generally exchanges are rather insecure comparing to other wallets like Electrum or Coinomi. It could be hacked or might also be a scam, you can't be
Where did you get this idea? Electrum and Coinomi do have their own feature on which Coinbase or any exchanges didn't have. Vice-versa, Coinbase, and any exchange also have their unique feature that hardware wallets, desktop wallets don't have. Now if we plan on storing our coins for long, people already know what to do here. Let's get straight here, what online exchange do you recommend? I didn't talk about Coinbase in this thread as an exchange. And about the last question you had, none of the exchanges are secure enough to store coins for long. So despite Binance being the #1 exchange, nobody should use it for storing coins. If someone wants to exchange, use 2FA, deposit, exchange and get your money out. And if someone earns by trading, they have to "risk" their money by keeping their money on exchanges and earn. Nothing to do in that case other than using strong passwords, using 2FA and not sharing the API key. About the title, yeah, maybe you're right. I should've named it something like that. My bad. |

Cancel the transaction and use the app to do it again. I think it'll pass through, just as mine did.
Are you sure? If I cancel today do you think I can send it through the app even I newly install the app on the phone just now? I need the bitcoin before the end of this week if I cancel today and your suggestion won't work I will wait again for another 72hrs as their slow security purposes. Maybe it works for you because you have the coinbase already on your phone in a long time? I don't think there's any restriction on how long the app has been installed. I had it for like 2-3 days. So it doesn't really matter. Try it. I hope it'll go through. Because as I said, it doesn't even require the 2FA when sending crypto. So there's a big chance that your transaction will go through instantly. Try it. Hope this helps. |

Just a few things about using Coinbase.
1: Don't use Coinbase at all
How is this a few things lmao. You literally bashed and warned everyone to stop using Coinbase the very first moment you listed these few things of yours.
2: About the verification
It is recommended to not use your IDs to verify on any website. Same goes with Coinbase. Sharing your IDs could lead to an identity theft.
Yes, you don't need to use your ID. but you didn't really need to specify it to Coinbase. Literally everyone should avoid it at ANY site or exchange there is. As much as possible that is.
3: About transferring big amounts
Sometimes Coinbase assumes your account might have some unusual behavior. So it may interrupt any transaction and can even ask for confirming your identity.
Once I deposited $600+ there. When I tried to transfer the coins, they refused to process the transaction. They sent an email stating my transaction will be done in 72 hours automatically. I cancelled the transaction. But it went through when I tried to send the money from the Coinbase app. I don't know what was the difference there.
It does require KYC, so honestly not that surprising they wanted to check on your transaction and identity first. What I don't understand is, how did them stating that the transaction will be done in 72 hours become refusal to process the transaction? Did their site actually popped a message refusing your transaction? And then you suddenly received an email about it? PS: I ain't defending coinbase or anything, just that OP's calls are a bit too vague and honestly, who doesn't know how these exchanges work. Ah, maybe they are a little vague and maybe I misinterpreted my English. And about the last line, this is meant for newbies. And I can guarantee you that there's more people who don't know how these exchanges work than you think. I see them everywhere. I just wanted to share my thoughts alongside it. |

The number 3 this is what I experienced today I have bitcoin stuck in my account in coinbase they said it will send after 72hrs but if I can't wait they will ask for KYC for an identity check. Well I'm waiting for my bitcoin to send to other wallets and hope after 72hrs they will send my BTC.
If not I will force to do a KYC which is I don't like honestly because even I'm verified in coinbase I think I can't still trade and exchange altcoin to bitcoin. Only US-based that I know you can trade in coinbase.
If they didn't send my BTC I will start spreading this news here about coinbase so that other users and newbie will know before they will experience the same thing.
Cancel the transaction and use the app to do it again. I think it'll pass through, just as mine did. |
