I got two requests already. What kinda morons works at Coinbase to allow this?

  They're now "morons" to allow people to send payment requests? Perhaps you're not quite familiar with their business model.

    I am well-familiar as I'm an early adopter (and sufferer), but how about having a button "report spam/scam"? If I "decline", the attacker will get a confirmation I'm logged into my account and my email and account are verified!

      I'd imagine it's one of those not-really-needed-until-it-is feature. And now, due to all this crying, they'll implement such a "I don't know this person" option.

    Also, allowing people to use accounts from recyclable email services such as "mailinator" is another design flaw. There are bunch of projects that maintain a list of those as far as I recall.

  Silent downvotes are cowardly! Yes, they are morons as the issue was reported to them and they refused to address it - it clearly shows that they don't rate-limit the API, which is moronic! Just because Coinbase is a YC company, it doesn't mean we should put up with their crap again and again! Just recently had to get bitcoins and they cheated on the rate again and again! I really don't like that anybody can pollute my history with fake requests like this either! Poor design choice, that what it is! Just like storing transactions in MongoDB, just because it's cool and "first" in the financial industry!
