I am really confused and frustrated. I sent my first ever BUY through Coinbase. I got my checking all set up. Made my purchase on 12-16-2013(an earth shattering .12 coins $100 bucks) No biggie. On 12-17-2013 the US funds left my bank account and off to coinbase. Alas... All I need to do is wait now until the 20th to spend my now 30 dollar loss due to market. Well here it is. The 20th of December somewhere in the world so I go to look at my account and there are no coins. Further inspection of this I find my transaction was canceled. No explanation. Just a big red canceled. Wheres my money now? I really want to be an advocate and intend to move WAY more than $100.00 into the bitcoin market place but seriously? Just a hundred dollar transaction that made one of their customers slightly irritated? Im glad I DIDN'T trust them with serious cash like the originator of this post!
Come on... GUYS! Don't take the fun out of all this! Figure it out! (Because if its not fun... It certainly wont be VIABLE!)

#512Earlier quoted context omitted.
I love a non-sequitur as much as the next giraffe, but what does banks using MySQL have to do with banks choosing not to go ACID?
Nothing at all other than the ever surfacing assumption by a lot of people that financial traffic is done on ACID like principles (rather than eventual consistency which it actually is). MySQL was a random example as should have been somewhat obvious.
MySQL is a random example of financial traffic not following ACID principles? I still don't understand.
Is this a reference to MySQL, pre-InnoDB, not being ACID compliant? InnoDB's been around for a decade and has been the default database engine for years.

#514I'm in the same exact situation, except for the amount of BTC (I purchased 10BTC). The ACH was cleared on Friday Dec 11th and the message read "Your bitcoin will arrive by the end of day on Friday Dec 13, 2013.". The actual coins didn't show up until mid-day Dec 18th, 5 days later and $400 below the Friday's levels. Can I have my purchase price adjusted as well? Or Coinbase have some sort of a preferential treatment program? My Case # is 73898.

#515mgrunin isn't alone.
I have been having severe issues with Coinbase recently. Attempted to sell a small amount (less than 1) Bitcoin, and it has been nearly a month now -- no money in my bank. According to their own customer support representative, the transaction should take 2-7 business days. It has been more than double that. I've inquired again as to what the heck is going on, but I'm still waiting for a response. Unless they can get their act together and complete the transaction soon, I don't know if I'd trust Coinbase with my money.
