Got my ACH fees refunded to me in bitcoin on Aug 29 because of delays. First time that's happened. But I'm not worried (yet).

I received a payout from coinbase without any issue on the 22nd of August (9 days ago) so it must be a reasonably recent problem.

I don't feel this is something to worry about. I know a few people myself who were paid out recently by CoinBase and they have had no problems at all. Possibly a small glitch in the system that was causing payments to not be made and people are jumping to conclusions.
I agree. Coinbase is a reputable company. It is important to understand that they likely only have a limited amount of cash they can give to their customers before they have to sell bitcoin on an exchange, withdraw fiat from the exchange, wait for the payment to clear then send the funds to their customer. This entire process takes time.

This implies there are more selling than buying on coinbase.

No wonder the price is going down.
Well considering that coinbase provides services to merchants that generally cashout of their bitcoin immediately I would assume they would have more sales of bitcoin then buys of bitcoin (the same with bitpay).

I like long walks on the beach, shaving my head...
I can confirm that Coinbase is delaying some payouts.  I have numerous bitcoin sales for which I've received nothing.  One of them should have paid into my bank account on Tuesday.

Here is what they are saying: "During one of our recent code releases, we experienced a rare instance in which some of the ACHs from this weekend were delayed. We are currently putting our Engineering resources on this to mitigate this from happening again."

They are handling it terribly.  Every person who responds to email had a different time when I would get paid until a big mass mail went out saying "next Friday" we will get paid.

This is jeopardizing some very important projects for me.  And it may destroy my reputation in my community.  Can't say how much I loathe Coinbase.

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
id expect the 'market street' address just to be a mail forwarding service.

You think it's the one in the SOMA? Bluxomer should be near the Safeway across from the train station. I need to go to the store anyway and I like that Safeway. I usually go to to the Safeway in the Castro but there's too many homeless scumbags over there lately. I'll try tomorrow. I know they won't be there but at least I can see if there's a storefront for them.

THE GAME OF CHANCE. CHANGED.
Weekend FUD?

Anyone can say anything via reddit, any proof?

Everything posted on forum is hearsay. There is little reason for a few reddit posters to lie.

Coinbase has _almost_ grown in size and reputation where they don't even need to reply to this publicly. Is there a message on their blog or has anyone bothered to check? My few are in the vault.

One thing that disturbed me about this company from the start is that they are trying to be a financial powerhouse, and yet they couldn't afford an adequate number of customer service people.

A few months ago in their email newsletter they made a big deal of the fact that they had hired some cs people (an inadequate amount, judging by the difficulty in finding a live chat person most of the time).

Amazing that people will accept almost non-existent cs.

you seem to lack any knowledge of bitcoin.

i have seen your post history and you have been complaining that blockchain.info doesnt confirm transactions

i have seen your post history and you have been complaining that coinbase doesnt confirm deposits

i have seen your post history and you have been complaining that coinbase doesnt finalise withdrawals

either your doing something wrong, or your just spouting fud to try and cause a panic crash so that your gambling addiction on betting websites will pay off

Coinbase may very well be fine.

However, being told "Coinbase is fine" by an unknown person on the internet is meaningless.

What is meaningful are the numerous problems many encounter in dealing with this company, of which the Reddit thread is one of the latest examples.

As I warned last year, coinbase is a scam/ponzi and bleeding money to hackers on the daily.

When they run out of VC money to fill the holes, they will go bust - just like MtGox!

Huh, I really don't know if this is the indication of another Mt. Gox happening. I always felt that Coinbase was a legit company. Have they been audited in some way? I mean it's difficult to audit a reserve, because they're no exchange per se...

Trust me!
I wonder when they are going to re initiate the transaction i made back in october of 2013 as promised in which I was shorted a decent amount of money.   Huh Huh Huh

Huh? Could you elaborate? Was that some transaction that got cancelled or something? I guess you wrote the support? It surely won't take this long to be executed normally! But any info on this would be appreciated!
