Coinbase Wallet

After buying bitcoin, there is a 25 day hold put on the bitcoin in your wallet before you can send it. This is unacceptable. Called tech support and submitted an email. Responses all lead to their FAQ page which doesn’t address my issue.

We know this is a third party wallets. It means we do not hold our privatekeys. And we can not freely do all the things we do with our bitcoins. Because they have policies implemented. And if we violate this, it is probable. If you really want to keep a lot of btc safe and do not worry about it. is in myetherwallet or whatever wallet as long as you hold your private keys.

Coinbase does have a feauture for 2 verifications before being able to login. You can connect it to your phone via sms message where a code will be sent to you. This stops anyone from being able to access your account. And steal your crypto currencies. I recommend coinbase as it’s safe.

coinbase is a complete mess techinically. they obtain your private banking and card information through a bizarre host of glitches. i’ve never seen a webiste with so many glitches. after exposing your information, even with 10k in my account, they gave a 5 dollar per week limit on purchases. it took me over 3 hours to set up an account through all the glitches only to share financial information that resulted in overexposure. BEWARE. We tested it several times with glitches different all over place. another area of concern is the level of perceived safety steps engaged; they put to much effort in these steps likely because on the backside they are not well protected.

I have been trying for days now to get my money out of coinbase which Invested last year. All I get is the runaround even after jumping through every hoop they require and, having to send more money (twice) to verify my bank account for SEPA payments. This is a scam do NOT invest.

I decided to try my hand at bitcoin investing and dabbled with a small amount and waited for it to rise. At some point a few months on my account was accessed and the bitcoin sold yet ended up in my GBP account and a fee was taken for this transaction. I did not carry out this transaction and no one else had access to my phone. I asked them to rectify this and put my money back as Bitcoin and return the fee that they charged, They refused and simply said it was my fault and that I need to get my security checked. Many messages later my complaint was ignored and not rectified. I am disgusted and looking at seeking an action against this company that appears corrupt to me. The only people benefitting from this transaction it seems is Coinbase!

The application needs some tuning. Thee buttons simply stop working as if they are just there to look at. This happens within the buy/sell tab. The tab buttons seem to function properly. Also, it would be nice to be able to authorize this app on more than one device. Finally, the prices need better real-time updating. This goes along with the website as well.

Send/receive buttons should be a little more obvious, since that’s really the main function, and I never have been able to send all funds in the app because it doesn’t take the tx fee into account, and it doesn’t tell you what it is either. You have to just try different amounts until it works. Pretty sad that this hasn’t been fixed in the 2 years I’ve been using it.

This service is stupid. It’s requiring a photo ID, a phone number, and all sorts of other ridiculous requirements which it did not require previosly, so I now can’t use any money I have in here. Thanks for wasting my money. Complete waste of crypto currency if it can be traced back to you. You’re completely missing the point of the service your providing.

Really easy for buying crypto currency. Clear price history. The transaction fees are quite high (99p). Shows you a record of your historic purchases and exchange rate, but doesn’t have a quick total so you can know at a glance whether you would currently sell at a profit or not.

Definitely use the app on the iPhone. I think that makes it more convenient and easy for your to show off to your friends about how much BTC you have in your wallet. Also, use the widget, It works great on iOS and allows you to track the market prices without having to load the app each time. Unfortunately, the fees involved in making trades are a little excessive in my opinion.

In rare instances, my coinbase wallet has restricted transactions. I have also experienced temporary crashes (which can be very disconcerting). I have also had instances where I attempted to buy coins, but price spiked after confirming the purchase. I was charged at the post-spike price.

Coinbase was an excellent choice. it only took me % minutes to watch the video and set it up. It could have been a better video, or another video on how to transfer your other digital money. you have to set up a Etherium account, as also other currency.That took awhile to figure out. like i said the set up was very easy and quick. the security features are easy to use. and the rest is not hard to figure out. they have a great website to find your answers. I would recommend Coinbase wallet to anyone looking for a safe place to store and use Bitcoin or other currency.

It is very easy to store crypto currency purchased on coinbase in their online wallet. The only issue is that it is not as secure as it cold storage wallets

If you need to store your crypto online for a short period of time this is a great way to do so.
They are solving the issue of a safe way to store cryptocurrency online

perfect until I last used it 3 months ago
Now, credit card payment does not work anymore for me.
The “live support chat” is a bot, an incredibly retarded one at that, and their human support personnel just as retarded (uneducated millenials).I have pulled out my remaining coins and sent them a final email telling them to shove it and giving a 4 week grace period to delete my account and information under GDPR (which go for everybody offering trade with EU citizens, not just EU companies) and expect a confirmation that data has been deleted.
To other EU citizens having problems, I suggest you do the same

Coinbase has been a disaster for me. I don’t want to speculate in bitcoins. I would like to use them from time to time to buy things as some sellers offer really great discounts for using them. There is no way, not debit card, credit card or bank transfer, for me to buy bitcoins from coinbase and be able to send them to a seller before a 12 day hold has been satisfied. That is rediculous. I can use any of those methods and the entity receives my funds irrevocably on the same day I send the funds

HORRIBLE, NON-EXISTENT customer support over at Coinbase. I have been waiting on a refund for un-authorized charges since February 2018. Every time I contact support they give me the same reply:
Hi again,
Thanks for writing back in.I’ve just checked your account and can confirm that your request has been properly escalated. These reviews are typically completed within 5-7 business days at which point we will reach back out to you to confirm that your issue was resolved.
Thanks so much for your patience and for working with us on this.
Regards
Coinbase Support

Weeks pass and nothing. I re-submit a new ticket logged on with my account and the same thing repeats. This is a unacceptable, it’s been MONTHS! Coinbase is a joke

Coinbase is the biggest scamming BTC company out there. If you disagree with anything with them they mess with your money in “holds”. If you complain about their horrible service they will place holds on your money all the while collecting more fees. They act like children, if you want children doing anything with your money then use coinbase. Check out their rating on better business bureau. Hands down the worst BTC company I’ve ever dealt with. Good luck. (i noticed this article didn’t mention the many many MANY complaints to the BBB about them.) BTW A friend of mine used them once and tried to get his money back because of the terrible service and they said”suspicious activity on your account we are placing a hold” All the while his money kept draining away. He lost over 40% of his original investment in the time it took the hold to be lifted. They are scammers plain and simple

I like Coinbase, never have had an issue with them it’s a one stop shop for crypto lovers. Very nicely laid out user friendly interface it makes things easy. The only issue I have with them is that when you buy through them they use Simplex who the first time I used and paid for $250 in BTC well they got my money and I got no coin. Other than that it’s hard to beat Coinbase I just suggest you get your coin from CoinMama and transfer it to your Coinbase wallet but I’ve had nothing but a good experience with them I recommend especially for beginners they make it for every experience level.

Simple app to use but if you ever have to contact customer service don’t bother. As with many of these services, everyone is nice but no one can do anything and your issue will need to be “escalated”. This is code for it will never get done.

The coinbase wallet is very easy to use and is especially useful for those novices who wish to store their bitcoin without learning the technical details of the Blockchain network. In this wallet you can store different currencies that are expanding over time although it currently supports BTC, BCH, ETH, XPR, BAT. The best thing about this wallet is that being in the cloud you do not need to download the chain of blocks on your computer that would cause space problems because it takes several GB. In addition, the security of this application allows you to limit daily withdrawals and enable 2FA through the google app or via SMS. The same platform allows you to easily buy and sell your currencies and change them to USD, EUR or whatever the local currency of the country in which you reside.

The only thing I do not like about coinbase wallet is that it requires identity verification which is annoying for many people who do not want to give their private information to have a bitcoin wallet.
Also I do not like the amount of minimum confirmations that they ask for the coins, they make the deposit processes are too slow, ask for 6 confirmations for coins as BCH seems too much to me.

I use coinbase as a personal wallet because it allows me to have my coins in a secure purse with 2FA enabled and also sell or buy if necessary, the use of the application does not have any additional cost other than the fees of shipping or purchase and sale.
