ok well.. I guess ill have 45 btc available on Thursday... ffs!

At least now I know why my BTC was being held hostage and Coinbase was not broadcasting transactions. Although they flat out lied to me in my support emails filled with BS.

"Really sorry about this - we're having an issue with connecting to the blockchain at the moment, causing transactions to stay in the pending state for too long. We're working on fixing it right now so you should be all good very soon - I really appreciate your patience!"

"Sorry about the delay! Due to a certain degree of randomness, sometimes pending transactions aren't picked up by the bitcoin nextwork as quickly as usual. The transaction should go through eventually - if it doesn't for 24 hours it will be automatically cancelled and you can re-initiate it.
Looks like yours went through."

Let's hope that's all it is.
Either that or it's a smoke screen for other issues.

I had that too once, I think its that their hot wallet just doesn't have enough funds to cover some transactions and they simply blame the blockchain for the transaction for not happening.

The change of 10 BTC per week instant kinda pisses me off tbh, if I have to wait 4 days to get it and the price drops $20 / coin I'd like to get that $20 / coin back, if I got the funds immediately I'd be fine with having to pay the full price.

I personally love MT Gox for their speed I request a transfer and its immediate none of that waiting (maybe a little on the blockchain for the attempted transaction to appear) but the transaction is on the blockchain (might not be included in a block for a bit if you don't pay a fee), but they are a little more expensive.

IMO: It was a very bad move for Coinbase to not Email their customers so they would not have
so many customers BTC/FUNDS/LIFE being held Hostage.

+100. I'm livid. Kills my business for 4 days.
