Let's talk about getting @steem on Coinbase.

When we get coinbase to start trading steem, we first need to look at the accounts @coinbase and @coinbasepro. These accounts are going to be a big deciding factor in setting up a wallet for coinbase.inc. The company will want @coinbase and possibly @coinbasepro for good business reasons. The first thing I would look at when scoping out a wallet is what wallet options I have when using graphene type blockchain programs. As we all know a convenient feature with graphene is the easy and unique wallet names. It's in Coinbase.inc best interest to not lose a valued new customer due to an honest mistake. Take a look at the wallets transfers https://steemit.com/@coinbase/transfers its full of people transferring steem in on accident. Anyone know why people are transferring steem into @coinbase? One individual (@thisisbenbrick) received a refund, looks to me like the only transaction on the @coinbase account has made.

Unfortunately, @sam-bo is still trying to get back 836.173 STEEM he accidentally sent to @coinbase. ouch On a side note, @blocktrades if you haven't already could you add @coinbase to your blacklist of transfers? (till we get STEEM on @coinbase) to help out others.
While some would argue this is a great learning experience its not a good way to recruit one of the largest and most respectable crypto exchanges in the USA if someone else has the keys to @coinbase. So what can we do to help and who has what could be the most valuable account in the future?

So my question is:

• Who is in charge of the keys to @coinbase?
• The account @steemaddress is most likely the owner of @coinbasepro based on transfers in @coinbasepro. @steemaddress would you like to comment?
• @ned could you confirm or deny who owns the account @coinbase?
• Say we don't find the owner of @coinbase what are our options?
• The account was created (https://steemdb.com/block/480182) the same time @tombstone was interacting on the blockchain. Perchance @tombstone, did you see or know who was taking up some big crypto domain names at that time?

So what do you think? Do you have any detective skills? Please share what you find or thoughts in the comments. A 5 STEEM reward for the best information will be distributed to the top three comments from @steem-bounty.

Thanks for reading
