Same thing happened with a friend. Looks like there is some issue with coinbase wallet.

I made a deposit in bitcoin to my coinbase account today and while usually a deposit would show up immediately as "pending," my deposit is still not showing up in any way after 7 confirmations.
I have emailed them and will post back here when the problem is resolved, hopefully soon.
Having to wait for them to resolve this issue may make me reconsider using and or recommending that others use coinbase.
You wont change my opinion on them. Posting FUD on BCT wont make Olaf respond any quicker... |

The FUD is assuming that coinbase wont resolve the issue, demonstrated by this post. Or that it affects multiple users, which so far there are two. |

I am also having problems with coinbase today - I bought 10 BTC that should have been available instantly but instead is stuck in a "pending" state. I received a response from customer service, Olaf, that their wallet is out of synch.

The FUD is assuming that coinbase wont resolve the issue, demonstrated by this post. Or that it affects multiple users, which so far there are two. I never said they would not resolve it. I posted this as a warning to people who do not want to have their bitcoin tied up while Coinbase resolves problems they are having. I would rather not have my bitcoin tied up in limbo because Coinbase is having problems. If you are OK having your bitcoin tied up, then go ahead and deposit bitcoin to Coinbase. I wish I had known they were having problems, because I would not have made the deposit. Curious, what would your alternative to coinbase be? |

Even the legendary Austin and Beccy Craig have had occasional glitchy issues with Coinbase before - it happens. I'm not going to dis Coinbase - in fact I think they provide a very useful service to Americans - but one need hardly be reminded that one key benefit of using a payment system that doesn't require third-party intermediaries, is that you're using a payment system that doesn't require third-party intermediaries.  |

At the moment there are no real alternatives to Coinbase that provide comparable service.

Olaf from Coinbase here. My apologies for the trouble with this! Our node got out-of-sync with the blockchain last night, causing transactions to not be broadcast to the network and remain in the Pending state too long or not appear in users' accounts. We're fixing this right now, and all these transactions should be broadcast and confirmed over the next couple hours. In the longer term we're working on revamping our node so this type of thing doesn't happen in the future. Thanks for your patience while we fix this. |

OP: glad it was resolved. Sorry for calling your post fud. I just knew it would be resolved eventually - from personal experience. |

This seems like exactly the use case Bits of Proof was invented for. |
