When you interface with fiat and the dinosaur banks you get what you get. We bitnerds can see how everything could be instant and we want it that way, understandable, but the banks have had a monopoly in their sphere for so long they don't give a flying fuck what the customer thinks. Jesus, you should try and get an international bank wire done. It is literally like they don't care.
tldr, not coinbase fault
fuck banks
In a way Jojo69 I understand what you are saying, but also have to correct you. I am a gemstone dealer in Bangkok, Thailand and I regularly deal with international wires. They are fast and flawless.
On the other hand, I have reservations about Coinbase. They are four days late paying me, and promises don't pay my suppliers or the people who make my jewelry. They represent on their site that they will pay you on XYZ day, but don't count on it. There are always a million excuses, but if you can't give me my money on XYZ date, don't pretend like you can.
Giving us the fee back and an extra "incentive" is again very nice, they surely want to make a good impression on new clients and don't want to see their business washed down the drain as customer confidence falls in Coinbase. But again, good intentions don't pay my employees or suppliers. Money does.
If you can't provide a service don't pretend that you can.
