Re: Beware: Coinbase Phishing scam "Review Our New User Agreement"

Bah, I didn't catch that it was a phishing attempt until after I'd logged in with my password. Changed the password immediately.

I didn't notice it was a bad link until it said the page was not available. Then I looked closer at the link and it was a coinbase link with some sort of url redirect:

h ttps://www.coinbase.com/sessions/oauth_signin?client_id=ef7477ce7e238f083b59f8ff58a0974f086fa18fce609ad6499935889f5a763e&redirect_uri=https://coinbasevaultcom.serversicuro.it/&response_type=code

Though I don't think it actually redirected.

You can't just change your password immediately. You need to remove all 3rd party API access now in coinbase now. This is a huge flaw in coinbase: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2lt76n/warning_coinbase_oauth_phishing_attack_allows/

All your stories are quite scary... But I have never had any problems with CoinBase, to be honest. In fact I'm Tier III already.

What are your limits at Tier III and how did you get it? I'm T2, but that seems to be all that is listed as available to verify on my account (10 BTC instant, 50 BTC/day).

csv doesnt work for me, it adds "u'"

Error validating Bitcoin address. Probably not valid: [u'1XXX', u'

I think you probably had a space between the addresses, which wasn't handled properly. Should be fixed now. Mind trying again?

CoinSpy: Get alerts on bitcoin transactions for any address

With the holidays, I had some free time to hack and made a new site:

http://coinspy.io

You can "follow" any number of addresses. The system watches network and as soon as a transaction gets broadcast, you'll get an email with the details.  The emails come pretty fast, normally within a few seconds. You can follow "famous" addresses like the silk road address and find out if and when the FBI will do anything with the BTC. Or you can just follow the public addresses of your cold/offline storage and get alerted in case the private keys are compromised or somehow used (this is why I created it for myself).

Anyway, I would love to hear feedback and get some ideas as to how to improve CoinSpy.

When I first created my account, I had Coinbase cancel 2-3 deposits due to "suspicious" activities. However, after email them I haven't had any issues ever since. They're certainly the easiest to use, and I feel the most confident about them over other sites (like mtgox, btc-e, etc).
