> That means the person that posted it was trying to pad their results Not necessarily. The duplicates are in exact order(quick check using sublime). Could have just been a double paste, happens very often. The fear mongering (FBI et al) definitely seems unfounded. > illustrates that someone is mad at Coinbase and is lashing out That's an ad hominem attack. > I don't think it's worthy of all of this negative attention directed specifically at Coinbase either Agreed Coinbase is the target of a lot of negative attention. That does not discount that enumeration deserves any less attention, it's unnecessary and poses more risks than benefits (again I don't know of a single benefit when requesting funds - when sending funds it is understandable but still problematic). > We are acting as pawns in someone's revenge scheme against Coinbase You're giving people too little credit. Coinbase is bad at communicating (timing and message), bad communication pisses people of. They are also in a business that gets more scrutiny than other payment processors.

These are serious accusations against Coinbase. There is absolutely no excuse for an artificial 2x inflation of numbers, especially for something that's supposed to be "partial"

>> illustrates that someone is mad at Coinbase and is lashing out >That's an ad hominem attack. No it isn't. I honestly wish that people would stop erroneously calling out logical fallacies. An ad hominem attack is refuting someone's argument by attacking their character in a way that has nothing to do with the discussion. For example, this is an ad hominem attack: Obama: ObamaCare has insured 7.1 million people through the exchanges. Sally: Oh sure, but what difference does that make - you're a muslim and want this country to fail! That is an ad hominem. Because Obama being (or not being) a muslim is irrelevant to the discussion and is only used to impugn the character of Obama. What is not an ad hominem attack is evaluating evidence of someone padding numbers to make Coinbase look bad and then determining that they must be biased against Coinbase. If you think evaluating evidence and coming to negative conclusions about someone is an ad hominem attack, then you are seriously mistaken.
