Post by: Boobonicchronic on August 16, 2013, 07:16 am
Has anyone used this service? See an issue with it? I have more information posted in the "Off Topic" section about the company just wondering what everyones thoughts may be on this.

People, please be advised that while Coinbase may have low fees, and convenient,  if your reading this then you are probably doing something illegal and you shouldnt consider Coinbase for coin purchases. It is not anonymous at all. I would only consider this a LAST RESORT! It appears you have to give up your bank account info!

Yes you do it's link directly to your bank account, which is why I said to launder it before use. As another precaution it should not be used constantly more so for a purchase every once and awhile

Yeah after it asked me to add my bank account I figured.... Nah. I use localbitcoins as do most of you. All the same rules apply even when buying from joe schmukitelli you have to wash wash wash everything you use. You think cause you got your coins from a stranger he wont point you out in a lineup ( being over dramatic ) of people? Just saying all basic rules apply of course!

I agree but for me Localbitcoin isnt an option. There is no one near me and all the online sellers charge 10%+ over SR

coinbase charges a couple dollars

Well at least you have options some people have none.
