I made a deposit in bitcoin to my coinbase account today and while usually a deposit would show up immediately as "pending," my deposit is still not showing up in any way after 7 confirmations.

I have emailed them and will post back here when the problem is resolved, hopefully soon.

Having to wait for them to resolve this issue may make me reconsider using and or recommending that others use coinbase.
You wont change my opinion on them.

Posting FUD on BCT wont make Olaf respond any quicker...

How is posting facts FUD?  It is not FUD if it is the truth.


The FUD is assuming that coinbase wont resolve the issue, demonstrated by this post. Or that it affects multiple users, which so far there are two.

I never said they would not resolve it.

I posted this as a warning to people who do not want to have their bitcoin tied up while Coinbase resolves problems they are having.  I would rather not have my bitcoin tied up in limbo because Coinbase is having problems.  If you are OK having your bitcoin tied up, then go ahead and deposit bitcoin to Coinbase.  I wish I had known they were having problems, because I would not have made the deposit.
Curious, what would your alternative to coinbase be?
