The action on my part on Coinbase was basically transferring / sending BTC to an external BTC address. So the transaction was definitely on the blockchain. But yes, I see your point. I was also carrying my Ledger wallet but to plug it into my laptop and then initializing the transfer while standing at the ATM was not possible. So yeah, still getting there.

You're right, I don't think they tried to find each other through metadata to settle it outside the Blockchain. That would be dumb, plus the inconveniencing 20 minutes is consistent with that. It's great to see examples like this in the wild. I've been hearing lightning is getting greater usability and traction as well. Interesting times.
