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

Glad to see that coinbase support solved  that problem in a respected time.

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.

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.

Olaf! I'm referencing this post for some trust. Great work, thanks for all you do.

If they ever IPO, I'll buy as much as possible. Smiley
Same. I think they have a lot more to deal with tho :/ imagine tomorrow they're closed. It would be devastating yet unsurprising.

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

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

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.

You wont change my opinion on them.

Posting FUD on BCT wont make Olaf respond any quicker...

How is posting facts FUD?  It is not FUD if it is the truth.


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?

BTC that should have been available instantly but instead is stuck in a "pending" state.
I've got a BTC withdrawal that's been "pending" since 12:03PM CDT.

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.
