there are...lots...of problems with coinbase, unfortunately, if you reside in the US gulag there are increasingly fewer options
Really? What other options are disappearing the US? Coinbase IS an option, as is Circle, Blockchain.info, Kraken, Xapo, Mycellium, the list goes on. This doesn't preclude the OP from getting onto a bitcoin exchange.
i used coinbase back in the day. i havent used them in years. i recently tried to log into my account to verify some old transactions and couldn't get through their security process.
i wanted to call and talk to a real person but couldn't find a contact number.
i'll never use them again.
I just had an issue with Coinbase days before the BCC air drop. I noticed a suspicious transaction. I submitted the service request. Coinbase then froze my access to the account "until they could verify my identity". What the fuck? And guess what, within 24 hours I had my service restored. The entire process took 36 hours, which is frustrating, but I received a response within hours to every one of my emails.
Why are others having so much trouble? Why did I have it so easy?
