I understand the difference, but I still think some of the anger at the change in price is being misdirected.

Fair point. And agreed, hopefully they will address it further. Again, not saying that this is not a major screw up. I just think Brian and crew deserve more support than they are getting.

Yeah, fair point that he could have sold his coin the day he received it. As I mentioned in a few other comments, just seems to me that frustration over the Coinbase's error and frustration over the price swing are both being heaped on

I never advocated that they could wash their hands of responsibility. My statement was that any users of a startup should understand that there are risks that come with using any new service/technology/etc. That's not to abso

No, I don't work for Coinbase. I'm an avid user and big fan. I've tried a lot of alternative products, and none compares to Coinbase in terms of reliability and overall experience. Sure, they screwed up. Brian owned up to tha

OP has no economic loss as a result of Coinbase's delay. OP has a loss as a result of Bitcoin price changes independent of this error.

Don't be ridiculous. Sure, the order was delayed, but there is no reason why they should have refunded the entire order. Kudos to Brian and team for getting on top of this and solving the problem quickly. They executed the order as ori

I think they are trying to illustrate a move towards more mass-market appeal and reach. Depending on which data source you look at, females account for anywhere from 70 to 90+% of consumer purchase decisions in the US. If Coinbase wants to

never. I know your comment was a joke, but this dude Villareal takes his work very seriously and I want to convey 1) that he is legit and 2) that all of my fellow HN readers should be following his work beyond just this bridge.

Leo Villareal, the creator of this project, is one of my favorite artists because he is a geek like us. He builds and codes all of his light installations himself (at least to date he has). My favorite piece is this large floor-to-ceiling g
