Coinbase Currently Unavailable

in coinbase •  7 years ago 

I'm very annoyed that Coinbase is currently unavailable at the moment. I was going to transfer my Bitcoin to Coinbase, but I can't because of this. I have heard many others complain about this. Instead of waiting, I'm going to use Xapo.

I've used it before and liked it so I'll see how this goes. I liked Coinbase because you can add cards really easy and transfer to a bank account. I still like Coinbase, but it's very inconvenient, especially for people trading on that site.

You can still buy some with the app if you have it. Just the desktop site is down.

You need to get on GDAX.com. Its Coinbase's exchange. Coinbase accounts are linked directly to GDAX. GDAX isnt impervious to crashes, but its much more resilient after a crash vs Coinbase.

The other option you have is wirex, I hope to see you soon, dear friend.@duckmast3r

Mobile coinbase is up. I just used it.

I have been hearing of Coinbase outages a lot recently, i hope they can figure out what the problem is and apply a solution soon.

Yes I just discovered the same. Annoying, but necessary I guess..

You do realize that since since steemit is powered by blockchain this post will probably exist forever..... FOREVER.

This is why I tell people who are buying crypto currency off of the exchanges to take their money off of the exchanges immediately and to place their money in a hard wallet( like a Trezor or Ledger Nano) also known as cold storage.

Coinbase has those kind of maintenances, but if you have incoming transfers just as they arrive without problems, web wallets is one of the most reliable ....
