Those of you who are asking for proof are missing the point.  I'm trying to warn people, not win points in a debate.  People who are receptive to a warning will make use of it, those who have blind faith risk suffering a loss as I have.  Will everyone suffer a loss?  Obviously not.  I'm just relating what happened to me, and what *might* happen to you.  I've tried to resolve this with support and after talking to three people my problem is still unresolved.

When I feel safe to give more information I will update this thread.

But, you have not warned people of anything. It's like saying "lookout I was hit by a car", but without the specifics of what time of day, what intersection, and what the road conditions were like its impossible to heed your warning.

Coinbase is a very reputable company, with a legit setup. They've even hired top brass from companies like Facebook. So the general public is going to dismiss any warning without specifics as trolling.


Try this:

Were you buying or selling Bitcoin's?
Did you have a balance of BTC at the time the incident occurred?
Did you have a 2FA device associated with your account?
Did they refuse to honor all or part of an order?
What happened when you contacted their support team?
What date did this incident occur?
Have if used Coinbase before, and if so how long and to what extent?
You said Coinbase is giving you back some of your money, please elaborate on what you said to them to convince them to issue you a refund.

Thanks!

But what was the point of this then? If there is an actual issue, wouldn't it behoove you and the community to inform us about this issue?

If you are waiting to give specifics due to the issue still needing to be resolved then it's understandable to have frustrations, but it's not understandable to create a post without it being resolved. All that is frankly is slander.

Every single cry about Coinbase = user error.

Thousands of transactions here, 0 issues. Hrmm  Huh  Roll Eyes

same no problems that were not resolved quickly with them and even then the problems were very few. Overall I am glad coinbase is here since its the only reliable source for USA. Their support response team respond quickly compared to sites like btc-e

I've used Coinbase several times, and to my experience they're no Gox.
