Coinbase.io is 1 year and 5 months old Coinbase.com has not taken it (because they can't)
I am selling the domain coinbase.io Proof: http://coinbase.io/proof.htmlI am taking offers now, the domain is available for transfer in two weeks from now if you want to buy with PayPal/bitcoin. If you would like to pay via credit/debit through park.io as middleman, the sal can be made immediately. Serious offers only.

Just because someone owns a copyright doesn't mean they own EVERY domain name without purchasing it lol

If you don't intend to use it to create customer confusion or sell back to the trademark owner, there is no violation

Not true. This is not how it works. look up "Trump.org". This guy got sued by Trump Inc for trademark infringement, and won (Trump inc didn't pushed the lawsuite tho), this means you can use domains of other companies if you do not intend to use it for malware, or confuse customers/try to make profit from it, from what i've read. But, i am not sure if domains such as gmaio.com are allowed. Anyone knows?

If its just a normal random site it would be fine because trademarks don't cover mis spellings unless its meant to distract or confuse customers

Obviously if you're trying to steal customers it's copyright infringement. Coinbase is an actual blockchain term so if you use it for anything to do with bitcoins that isn't an exchange you aren't infringing on any copyright.

So this is similar to blockchain.info wallet, blockchain is a bitcoin term so people could use blockchain in other domains and not make a wallet and be fine

I don't think it can be used to any bitcoin related business. But ... it is just my opinion. It could be right or wrong.

I've had two domains taken from me like this and I will tell you what, even if it is legal for you to own it, they will threaten you with legal action anyway and come at you because they can. Is the domain really worth that to you? Do you have the resources to fight it? It's not worth risking in my opinion....But hell what do I know?

Thats completely different. Coinbase's wordmark is only "COINBASE EXCHANGE" and their trademark covers trading storing and transferring of digital currency. And since coinbase was already an existing term used in bitcoin the domain can be used as long as the service doesn't interfere with the services of coinbase.com Coinbase.io is 1 year and 5 months old. If I would have gotten a cease and desist I would have already gotten it
