BTCCoinbase.io is 1 year and 5 months old Coinbase.com has not taken it (because they can't)BTC

This domain is legally obtained and does not violate any trademark or copyright laws.
It is registered through park.io and you will receive the transfer auth code.

I accept bitcoin and PayPal from trusted members with escrow


COINBASE.IO

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.

Coinbase's wordmark is only "COINBASE EXCHANGE" and their trademark covers trading storing and transferring of digital currency. And since coinbase was already a term used to describe the input of a transaction in the bitcoin network, it is perfectly legal to use this domain not related to trading/storing bitcoin

First off: Great domain!

It can be tricky to navigate the world of domains but coinbase itself is a generic term IMO.
Meaning it is legal to use for almost everything but an exchange in terms of the existing trademarks mentioned.
The process to "take" a domain from someone is expensive and uncertain regardless of the individual facts.
So is fighting back. But remember sometimes there is alarm without fire when it comes to domain names related closely to a trademark. Trademark owners can make a huge fuss where they legally have no rights. Sometimes being a bully works and people fork over their domains without even taking the case to tribunal.

Lastly: Great domain!
