Maintenance is just a normal thing most especially for a busy site like Coinbase. However, there seems to be some complaints against the site lately that can put some negative vibes on them. Their current spat with IRS must be having some effect on them as users are getting to be cautious.
It is not acceptable. A site like Coinbase, holding millions dollars from customers, funded with millions dollars, still can't even get a decent team to handle such things ? Oh but wait, it's not the first time Coinbase goes offline at the exact same time something big is happening to the bitcoin price0 What about people who wanted to sell when the price was about 2800$. Now at 2400$ it is 400$ difference, and I doubt they plan to compensate the difference
Last update from CoinbaseSupport on Twitter is more than 24 hours ago ! How it's possible ? Twitter is in maintenance too ? With such problem you have to update your customers more than every 24 hours, specially in such activities where money is related
