I refuse to use the services of the ones who were behind the Gavin fork. I think Coinbase's CEO was one of them who was pushing for XT. That move was driven by self interests, their hidden agenda and a total lack of concern for the bitcoin community.

I'm simply embarrassed for these guys. People are still replay attacking them. I guess Charlie was serious -- they seem to have no intention to fix the exploit by separating their ETH and ETC into unique addresses. WTF is wrong with them?

Still working as of a few minutes ago:

This is basic stuff. None of the other exchanges fell prey to this AFAIK. Embarrassing.

Why am I feeling that the past is about to redo itself again? I meant the Gox and Cryptsy.
I never use coinbase even though their popularity is at the peak among online wallets and exchange platforms. Still, I am having some faith on coinbase by remembering their contribution to the growth of bitcoin ecosystem. Let's hope of good things only to happen.

Only maybe if you live in Syria, then all bets are off but if you're American or European I wouldn't worry Wink

Oh yeah, I forgot. We only kill men, women and children we don't care about. Which is everyone on the planet except murricans. lol

Yes I forgot how uncaring America is to other nations. We only spend $35 billion dollars on foreign aid, we were/are the only buffer from a Russian controlled Europe. We protect South Korea, Japan, Philippines and make sure China doesn't over reach in the south sea. We try to stop terrorism in the middle east and are looked to after any global issue. I guess we just don't do our part.

The stuff your talking about is self interest. Of course murrica protects her own interests. It would be stupid for a superpower not to do it. We spend enough overseas protecting oil interests alone to make every homeless person in America a millionaire, provide all Americans with healthcare and provide real humanitarian aid to countries in need (not just token aid).

If we pulled out of the places where our meddling is unwanted (like South Korea, the P.I., the Middle East) we might not have terrorists trying to blow up anyone that supports us. America created a lot of the problems she now faces by becoming the biggest bully on the block decades ago. Eventually the other kids are going to stick up for themselves.

Wow that's super shady...
I've been using Coinbase to buy a little bit of BTC because it was so easy and the fees were low.
But idk how I feel about supporting a company that does something like this.

I know the ETH fork is causing issues for everyone, but its a on the company to take the loss if something happens, not pass the loss onto your customers.
That is the price of doing business. The image of your brand in the long run should be worth more than the few dollars you would lose IMO.
From reading all this it doesn't seem they know what the hell they are doing or how to run a proper exchange. WTF is all this?! Shocked

Most Africans now prefer Chinese investment to American 'aid'.  At least the deala are simple with tbe Chinese, aid from America always comes with many strings attached.

As for the rest it's just propaganda.

Clearly they don't. They were very brazen about their approach to ETH's hard fork, and Brian/Fred are incredibly brazen about their approach towards a hard fork in BTC.

Don't have a screenshot, but Charlie Lee did state in the Core slack that they had only 4 days to prepare for this fork, ETH devs told them to ignore the ETC fork, and they made a bad decision not to protect the ETC. At least they are accepting some blame.

But now will they still steal everyone's ETC that was sent to them post-fork?

Coinbase is famous exchanger platform, but in the other hand we see many negative feedbacks about them wherever, so i think it is always better to avoid using the exchangers wallets and store your coins in your owned downloaded wallet

Yeah, Blocknet is the future. It will put all these crooked exchanges out of business and truly remove government oversight from our money.
