Coinbase are Brain-Damaged

Journal by MichaelDavidCrawford

I sold all my Etherium with the ~$3000 proceeds going to my USD wallet. The Dashboard page has the correct amounts.

But the Buy/Sell and Accounts pages incorrectly claim that my USD wallet only has $0.10. So I can't buy the Litecoin that I intended to buy. It has been this way for over an hour.

I logged a support ticket but they're so busy it's likely to be a week until they respond.

I expect just about any other exchange would work better. This because Coinbase is the #1 iOS app. As with Linux and Red Hat back during the dot-com boom, I expect many people think Coinbase is the only place you can get bitcoin.

    MDC, you know, coins do not have brains, and so cannot be damaged. I think "fraud" is the word you are looking for. Can you imagine: "I have a math equation, I will sell it to you for X thousand dollars". Where is the damaged brain in this scenario?

    When you get a coin with bitrot in your your wallet, come back and tell us that coins can't be damaged. The bitrot gets on all your coins, and can even eat the wallet itself up. If you don't notice it in time, it can even get into your computer and keyboard, and infect your fingers. What you gonna do then? It's much to late, all you can do is watch the rot creeping up your arms, moving toward your brains.
