Coinbase should solve it's coinbase trust issue. I bought a small amount of litecoin almost 2 weeks ago, i'm well past my "delivery by" date, my funds left my bank account over 10 days ago, yet I still don't have my coins in my account.
To counter anecdote with anecdote, I've had no issues with coinbase and have found them pleasant to use. That includes transferring to gdax/selling/withdrawing, etc.
EDIT Yuck, this blew up and I think alot of people took it the wrong way. I think Coinbase is great, and I'm sure everyone who works there is awesome and terrific at their job. Anyone who has worked on any half way successful project knows just how hard both uptime and security are and I'm in no way upset at Coinbase for having growth issues. I've done this for years and might not even get an interview with them. The…
> every day at midnight for 10 minutes is fine No it is not. Coinbase has clients all over the globe. It is always regular trading hours.
If that were peak-trading time for a particular locale that would be unfortunate, but the regularity would be preferred to failing under unexpected load at random times of the day.
It is not easy to build a company/service like Coinbase; having said that, I think that Coinbase in its current state is slightly better than a joke, starting from their customer support.
Contacted their support 13 days ago about my account somehow being restricted (can't buy or sell). Not a peep besides the automated response. 13 days and counting... Wonder if anyone has an outstanding ticket being ignored that's longer than that
I’m confused by this bit: > “But first, Coinbase...needs to legitimize itself -- and bring in revenue...” Like it doesn’t have revenue? It’s daily volumes of BTC are around 30k. Sometimes a lot more. Plus ETH. Plus LTC. They must be making at least a million per day in trading fees. They’re a money printing machine at this point.

I've had a ticket open for about a month w/o access to those funds.

Someone has to trust someone in order to do a transaction between a cryptocurrency and something else such as USD. That's because the transaction is actually two transfers, one of cryptocurrency and one of USD, that have different clearing and settlement properties.
What’s your point? I thought we were talking about cryptocurrency transactions and the need for uptime on exchanges.
Until the situation with bitfinex pumping billions of unbacked tether into the ecosystem is resolved, doing anything involving bitcoin right now is insane. They’ve released almost $200 million worth of tether in the last day .

It's happened to a lot of people, and recent coinbase news supports the parent's anecdote.

A VC-funded SV company should do better.
