    This was a great popcorn drama which had an awesome happy ending. Now this is what I call a good plot twist. This has got to be the most unique popcorn drama ever on LET due to its happy ending.

    Meanwhile... I learned a few things about staying away from Coinbase.

  • does anybody know whether coinbase blocks account temporarily or permanatly in such situation?

    crunchbits will get more business because of seemingly a killer marketing move

    Temporarily until you do KYC, etc.

    Just like paypal

  • Thanks to Calin, who did not send any proof to OP so that we can have a drama here. That makes @crunchbits's reputation go very high after this.
    If he sent the proof to OP like what he sent to crunchbits then OP would be happy and Calin could save his service reputation.

    Actually reputation of @Calin goes up too, because he wanted to refund, and now accepted to refund through a third party. Now he gets precious time to deal with Coinbase.

  • DigiRDP will benefit from this situation too. Congratulations to all parties.

  • @default said: Actually reputation of @Calin goes up too,

    That is a slap in the face for all of his customers who are waiting for a working service.

  • Can I get a loan for 10k with 0% interest? My christmas needs new tree and lights.

  • Only a fool would think of using coinbase (look at what happened to binance). It's a literal money laundering exchange (every single crypto exchange is). They are sneaky bastards who have been caught doing pump and dump schemes. Look it up if you do not trust me.

    Anyone doing a business and wanting to accept crypto should host their own BTCPay server, instead of relying on exchanges like coinbase

  • @FatGrizzly Impressive work on crunchbits.rip -- the live2d messages are... something else.

    lol

    Can we call this a blatant scam? Or this again falls under the grey area and no ban will be issued?

    Around 10 years ago i lost bitcoins to @xoxo . just saw his id, he hasnt logged in since the scam but he isnt blocked either. Everyone at LET knew about the scam then. So, things like these keep happening here.

    Not surprised Coinbase would do something like this. All the big established may do stuff like this. Not sure if this is really what happened, but it's possible and i would presume not even too uncommon.

    There's also another older gateway, i think the first one with WHMCS module, who kicked us out because they did not approve of our service (seedboxes).

    We also got kicked out of Moneybookers (now skrill or whatever) after like a decade for the very same reason.

    One exchange, local to us, Coinmotion back then known with other name reported all our transactions to tax agency, causing us huge grief with tax agency with sub context of tax fraud charges despite everything was taxed and accounted for as they should be. Coinmotion then proceeded to lie about it, claiming they have never submitted any information to tax agency BUT that's what tax agency showed us as a proof. Ofc it could be possible tax agency got the data from banks, but it looked ... too amateurish to be from bank (missing transactions etc.).

    Use a processor which doesn't take political stances, or aren't known to be woke. Coinbase leadership tried to take over BTC as a whole (BCash debacle), that's when we got out.

    We were the first hosting business to accept crypto (BTC only back then!) as a payment. We will continue to accept crypto due to the freedoms and there being no ways to freeze those assets unless you don't "own the coins" to begin with, ie. they are at a exchange or payment processor and not in your own wallet.

    If they do, they bloody deserve it!

    Yes, anyone that puts their money where their mouth is deserves to ear something.

    In this case, @crunchbits , from my point of view, you earned a ton of respect from our side for sure :+1: .

    @Calin , King of cave Host DCMA ignore :smiley: , you got saved by the bell mate. I am pleased you did not go under the waves. Fix the god damn Crypto Account.

    EDIT:

    Leave the dedi Ryzen to others, focus on your colocation for now, that will solve some of your problems.

    it's also possible that the coins were tainted (went through a hacked/scammed wallet in the past), in which case this is also a lesson to stay away from transparent blockchain coins. use monero, the only widely used crypto that is truly fungible

    USDT is best one I've used so far, most stable.
