Opened my Bread hot wallet today to find some very disappointing news that Coinbase has bought Bread wallet and forcing you to download their wallet and transfer fund over. Below is the message and instructions. I followed them all to a T and I still don’t see any coins in my Coinbase wallet. I did this about 10mns ago. Does anyone know if this simply takes a little bit of time or if I possibly did something wrong?  
It's funny that Bread walllet website still works fine and they only posted top bar with information for Coinbase Wallet Migration.
I never used Coinbase wallet and I am not sure if it's non-custodial, but maybe you could just use your seed words and import them in any other wallet you want.
There are plenty of good open source wallets, and for mobile maybe you can try Blue wallet or Electrum instead.

So you’re saying I can use the bread wallet website and I should be able to then just move my coins off of it from there versus the app? I didn’t think there was an available website to even use. Maybe I’m miss understanding you here.

Thanks everyone for the info/advice..

I checked the new Coinbase wallet address on block explorer and it has zero transactions showing. I tried going through this transfer process again with no luck. I even deleted the Coinbase wallet app and re-downloaded it and still same issue, nothing transfers over. You can see when opening Bread that the coins are still there.

So at this point I could just use another wallet like electrum and just type in my recovery seed? This is where I show my embarrassing ignorance , I will of course need more than just my recovery seed, such as my wallet address correct? If I can’t access my bread wallet address on the app anymore, how do I go about doing this? Or what else do I need to do?  I was only using Bread to store a small amount of coins for when needed on the go. I use a Trezor and paper wallets for long term storage. Could I recover these coins via trezor, Coinomi, blockchain app, or perhaps an exchange such as Binance US, Gemini, or Kraken?

This is so frustrating ( I FUCKING  HATE COINBASE !!), and I’m not that skilled obviously, so I appreciate all the help guys!

I followed them all to a T and I still don’t see any coins in my Coinbase wallet. I did this about 10mns ago.

I don't know what derivation path was used here or there, so I'll give it a shot:
did by chance the old wallet has addresses starting with 1 and the new wallet has addresses starting with bc1? (in case you can see them).

Very frustrating and disappointing news. I despise Coinbase

Then just get another wallet. Electrum and BlueWallet would be pretty good choices imho.

There are two different coinbase wallets. One of them is custodial and the other one is non-custodial.


To OP:
Since breadwallet is a non-custodial wallet, you have full control over your private keys and you don't have to use Coinbase. You can import your seed phrase into any wallet supporting BIP39 seed phrase.
I don't recommend using coinbase wallet. Because it's close-source and we don't know what's happening behind the scene.
If you have bitcoin, as suggested by dkbit98, you can use electrum for accessing your fund. Even for your altcoins, there should be many other alternatives better than coinbase.

Warning:
Download electrum only from its official website and do not forget to verify your download.

The funds shouldn't really take more than a few seconds to show in your wallet.

Have you verified the addresses? If you know they're the same, check them in a block explorer to make sure that the funds are still there.

Very frustrating and disappointing news. I despise Coinbase and it’s typical fashion for that corrupt company to do shit like this. At least give users a bit more of a heads up. I was just using my Bread wallet like 2-3 weeks ago and now this.  Angry

Any advice / suggestions appreciated!
