One major discrepancy I have with Coinbase, is that stupid add the dollar amounts when trying to verify your credit / debit card, I don't know why they have two amounts you have to add together when they could just have a basic [ONE AMOUNT] you can input, and move on to the next step without error messages being KICKED BACK OUT AT YOU.
Not Good, NOT GOOD AT ALL!* I'm still new to the Steemit platform, and I refuse to deal with any dumbs**t contingencies these cryptocurrency sites might be dealing with. It's like a company that has many employees, and they need for them to do their job efficiently, yet you have half of the workforce taking off days, or taking too many breaks, or sneaking off to make continuous cell phone calls.
I do hear sometimes the verification process does give people problems at times. I just hope the security system, is NEVER breached. I'm searching for alternatives right now trying to fund my Stemmit account for the purchase of Steem Power! I'll be posting more updates on this particular topic matter.
Cheers!
Many of the crypto services experience issues as we are still in the early stages of the crypto infrastructure build out. There have definitely been issues with CB and verification. You should never store any large amount of crypto in an online wallet like coinbase anyways, i usually move mine offline right away to avoid security issues.
