I would have thought 21 days would have been enough!!

Yeah bank refused it - after contacting bank I resent the money and it went with no further problems and has been removed from my account. Coinbase have the money yet refuse to acknowledge it.

I just followed the process as requested. Initially my bank declined the move as it appeared suspicious to them.

After I realised that, (thank you very much for blocking my card and not telling me), I completed the process as requested and it went through no issue from my end......and yet I wait.

So two emails later I'm waiting impatiently and looking at cex.io. Any thoughts on cex.io?

Hi all. I have been having bother linking an account with Coinbase. The 'donation/test' amount was sent and after verification failed I contacted them. I had a reply saying it would be resolved in 4 -5 business days and here I am still waiting to have it sorted a month later.

Have others had this same issue with Coinbase?

Hi. First of all - Thank you very much for your work on the faucet, much appreciated.

I've made three transactions and am attempting to return the test coin however when I try to do it I keep getting a message - Insufficient funds - I get this no matter how little or much I put in.

Where am I going wrong?

No, it wasn't that he advised another wallet, rather he pointed out a flaw in my planning - to own other than Bitcoin (I actually had factored that in when I started reading some time back but forgot it when I went for Electrum), and I asked him to advise on another wallet - mentioning the ones above.
Thanks for advising.


HCP - yes Coinbase does support Segwit:

Hi all, thanks very VERY much for all the replies.

I got the installer package wrong, (is that an omen?!), but eventually caught my rather noobish mistake and went through the process of verifying the installer as per the following instructions:

and read through this:

I have installed and verified the Electrum wallet on my laptop - this is for practice as I plan to install on an offline PC creating and keeping the wallet on that with paper copies made and kept securely.

I registered with Coinbase and am awaiting verification of my account before I buy, but am watching the drop in Bitcoin so I am in no rush at the moment. I hope to get some other crypto-currencies although will focus primarily on Bitcoin for long term investment. This is purely investment and not for regular use.

While not putting in pocket money I will be hopefully investing my savings and although a small amount in the grand scheme of things its a nice but not life changing amount so I have thought LONG AND HARD and if I loose I loose. I will educate myself as much as I can and hopefully in years to come while not have millions, (although if you listened to all you heard its not impossible), I hope to have made a lot more than having the money in a bank account or under my mattress.

I figured I would pick your brains and see what sort of things I should be reading.

Thanks very much for your time.
 

Hi all, this is my first post so - HELLO, and please go easy!

I've been reading on bitcoin for sometime and on crypto in general. I have decided to jump in and invest some so am in the process of setting up and getting ready to make (and store) my millions of £$£$£ that I'll be getting the fist few days  

I've been setting up, well trying to set up Electrum on my computer using the Electrum Windows Installer package and have been struggling but think I am nearly there.

I've read guides til I can't tell up from down. Can anyone advise any good reading material?

Thanks
