They have some problems at the moment. Outgoing transactions are not relayed to the network.

You can make a json export of the transaction, but I don't know of any websites where you can paste the json export. Is there an easy way to convert the json export to a raw transaction we can paste at blockchain.info?

They had that problem for the past month...

The first Time i encountered it was on 15th August.

Does this happen for all attempts to send BTC from ones Coinbase account? Or does it work sometimes?
I am wondering if there is any sense in me trying it again?

And after a day you will most likely get a message like this:

Quote

On [ Date ] you sent [ X ] BTC to [ address ]. This transaction was still unconfirmed by the bitcoin network after 24 hours so we've removed it and restored the amount to the original sender.

Sorry for the trouble on that! We've been notified about the problem and are working to prevent unconfirmed transaction chains like this in the future.

Thanks for bearing with us while we work out a few issues in beta.

Kind regards

The Coinbase Team

I was watching that address at blockchain.info and there was no activity at all. They also don't give you an option, as far as I can see, to add a fee to the transaction.

So it seems they just don't want you to withdraw your money. Angry

Ok... I guess maybe there are some people who have good experiences with Coinbase, but I seriously wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

First the only reason I joined was the bonus program... And the only reason 90% people joined is the promised 0.01 bonus that you can withdraw any time. Now you can see many complains on their support site from people who did everything and just didn't receive the bonus. An example:
http://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/questions/455288-no-bonus-bitcoin

I think the goal of this kind of website would be flexibility, credibility and instant payments. Fast and simple money transfers are the point of Bitcoin.

On coinbase any transaction you make, stays "Pending". They say for an hour, but that is not completly true. After waiting for few hours people will just lose their patience. Very interesting thing happened to me: yesterday I sent some amount to my local wallet. Today when I woke up I checked and money did not arive, and the "Pending" transaction on coinbase was just gone and the money was still in my coinbase wallet. Like I never sent it. When I get this 3BTC out of there I'll never use coinbase again.

So again: I don't recomment using Coinbase at all.

Same thing happened to me but with only 1 btc, wish they tested the thing on the bitcoin testnet before launching to public. I think will stick with blockchain.info wallet
