Today I learned that Coinbase doesn't already batch their transactions.
I mean, seriously? This is bitcoin 101. Completely basic stuff. This has been trivial to do for years, and Coinbase are only just implementing it now?

Do you know what's more hilarious?

Coinbase is working on batching transactions, SegWit, and a number of other strategies to improve transaction backlog. Thx for bearing with us!

Batched transactions should be coming out in a few months. Embarrassing how long it has taken, turns out there is a lot of stuff to build in a growing company

I wonder what the effect on the mempool will be, but it's hard ta calculate, the hashrate is dropping by around 4% so less capacity, this panic taking over...
Probably comparing txs and outputs per day before and after might give a better image.

don't get me wrong but anyone still use coinbase?

Yeah, a lot of people. If you get past the lies of the fake number of coinmarketcap and the fake volume you will see that coinbase actually has a huge chunk of the market. They are holding about 1 million coins in cold storage, more than any exchange and god knows how much fiat.
