New user: Transfer stuck in pending over 22 hours

[RVDowning]

I am trying to transfer my bitcoins from Coinbase to my Electrum wallet on my home computer.  It has been stuck in pending since 7/29/2017 10:20 AM (EDT), 22 hours.

I selected the "max" checkbox when initiating the transfer, and it shows my entire bitcoin amount as in the pending status.  Did it not deduct for the transfer fee?  Can I cancel the transfer?  Am I just stuck in limbo?  Will it time out at some point?  Is there any way to cause anything to occur?

I see that the fee that was automatically applied was .00033952.  Is that not enough?  If not, how does one determine how much to add on as a transfer fee?  There is no set amount?

Just trying to get my bitcoins off before the fork and seem to be totally stuck.

Thanks much.

Looks like Coinbase is "avoiding" users to withdraw. I've seem tons of people complaining about them not leting users withdraw their coins because of the August 1st fork, and blaming the bitcoin network because of that. It's not your fault and you will need to wait until they process your request.

Coinbase wallet is just another shit, they want to hold all their user's bitcoin under them so that they can get millions of $ worth of Bitcoincash after hardfork. Hope you will get your withdrawal approved before hardfork.

There's low chance that people can able to get their Bitcoin on that shitty exchange/site,  and that I'm over laugh of that tweet they made, they just blaming the block chain for their personal and for getting those BCC after the hardfork. Well, they can get tons of million there.

Blockchain.info's mempool transaction count is showing that there is very little to no congestion.  Furthermore, bitcoinfees.21.co is showing that even transactions that have fees of under 20 satoshi/byte are usually getting confirmed.

Coinbase was still sending transactions comfortably when blockchain.info's mempool transaction count was over 100,000 and sending fees of 100 satoshi/byte wouldn't get confirmations for weeks.

Considering that Coinbase actually sets people's fees for them and that their customers almost always got confirmations using their dynamic fees system during that period of real congestion, I would say that Coinbase are trying to steal your BCH.

Several other people, on here and Reddit, have been complaining about Coinbase withdrawals for the last couple of days.  It's obvious that even if it was about network congestion, Coinbase's system would just make people pay higher fees instead of stopping withdrawals altogether.

The only non-conspiracy scenario I can think of is that Coinbase is not capable of handling the pressure of all these withdrawals at once.

I knew this was about Coinbase the second I saw the title!

I dont know if this is only FUD but a Bitcoin developer of Peter Todd's stature wouldnt spread any FUD to malign any Bitcoin exchange unless it was called for.

A very lame reason to hide something, i don't know what their trying to do but most probably they're trying to steal the BCC's of their users.

Nah even if the person who posted is not highly reputable in the crypto world people would certainly believe it if they have their common sense intact.

How can there be a congestion particularly on july 29, 2017--the day they posted it on twitter where its still two days away from august first.

It is not confirmed yet if Coinbase is really hacked or not. But what they are doing is still open to scrutiny. Why are they splitting their wallets like that?

There are some that say they are now operating a fractional reserve.
