I just spoke to coinbase on the phone. Yes the phone. The guy I spoke to said they weren't aware of any issues. He seemed shocked I was able to get his number.
(800) 343-5845 is there support line which goes to a vm
(850) 728-9952 goes to Blake Ratliff - Works in compliance and investigations. This is the guy I spoke with who seems to be the right contact
(415) 513-9024 is the CEO Brian's direct line- was busy when I tried.
Im sure Brian's going to be happy today when he gets a heap of calls from people who just glanced at this topic and really think that Coinbase is going down.
They are just rebranding and adding a couple of additional coins.
they have to keep up with the times or they will fail, this is a good thing to happen for Coinbase users.
I think there are some serious trolls or shills who keep saying it's failing to cause panic.
The rumor is there are issues where they are double withdrawing from users bank accounts without consent,
and at other times, not withdrawing from users bank account but providing btc not requested.
There are rumors that they were hacked, others say it is problems with the new exchange system.
Coinbase's current statement is that they were upgrading and are refunding users banks accounts.
