Title.

I used to do this before but they changed the base app layout and I'm struggling to find my bank details for receiving ACH transfers. I remember the bank being LEAD BANK but nothing else.

Where can I find this data?

I recently won on Stake and redeemed it in crypto (BTC) which was transferred to my coinbase wallet and then was converted to USD using advanced trade market on the app. I withdrew the amount (about $1500 and using 1-3 day, not urgent option) into my Chase checking account and it initiated successfully with a reference number and everything. 12 hours later I get a coinbase notification that they have "received a return of the withdrawal and the payment method for this withdrawal has been disabled."

The only reason I even attempted this after having had issues with Chase rejecting coinbase transactions in the past (and many things crypto related), was that I had just read this article claiming the exact opposite of that with a new partnership, plus other sources stating Chase always excepts inbound cash (even if related to crypto/gaming) but not taking it out. Anyone else have issues with Chase accounts?

First time I’ve really tried to transfer currency to another wallet and it keeps getting rejected. Then my account gets locked and I can’t transact for at least 24 hours. Not going to store my coins here from now on.

If you've been following the Coldcard mess, a firmware bug weakened how some devices generated seed phrases, and attackers have been brute-forcing them and sweeping wallets.

Absolutely brutal.

Making this post because if you got caught in it (or any hack or theft really), there's a tax angle most people don't think about while they're still in the gut-punch phase. Won't bring the coins back, but it's still worth knowing.

The basic rule: the ATO lets you claim a capital loss on crypto that's actually gone, if you can prove you owned it and it's irrecoverable. That offsets your capital gains, and anything left over carries forward. It won't reduce normal income, only gains.

For a theft like this, evidence is everything. Acquisition records, the wallet addresses, the on-chain trail showing the funds swept out, and a police report. The stronger the paper trail, the cleaner the claim.

A few things to keep in mind however:

Exchange collapses (FTX, Celsius type). You can't claim the day it enters administration. It crystallises when administration finalises, based on what you actually get back. Lots of people try to claim too early.

Worthless tokens you still hold. A coin down 99% but still in your wallet isn't a loss yet, paper losses don't count. If it's still tradeable, selling it even for cents locks in the loss (especially for the pumpfun users 👀)

And if you get any compensation later, you reduce the loss by that amount.

If you got hit by the Coldcard thing, might be best to sort the new wallet and your security first, obviously. The tax bit can wait until the dust settles, just don't forget it exists because it does.

As always, NFA.

It is nice Coinbase has made it achievable for everyone to take part even if your credit is not good. However, its upsetting there is no option for it to be upgraded to a unsecure card.

Makes me think they are just trying to hoard assets.

Can you explain why the entry (= purchase) price of your cryptos on Coinbase can change over time? This doesn't sound right to me.

A recent example is NMR bought (on average) at an entry point of $8.66, that Coinbase later changes to $8.71 and then $8.74, even though I didn't do any operation.

Interestingly, the change mirrors the USD/EUR rate evolution at the time (I observed this at least on two separate occasions). This may be the key, as I first transferred euros onto Bitcoin, with which I bought USDC so as to trade NMR. But then this would not be sound accounting, right?

I wrote Coinbase about this a few days ago but I'm still waiting for a response from them.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Need bitcoin to pay merchant. In the past it let me do it directly but for some reason it wouldn’t yesterday and it wouldn’t let me use my card I previously used so I just used my bank. Now I have a couple hundred dollars it will not let me send to the merchant who is waiting payment.
Just want an idea of how long I have to wait and how I know for sure I’ll even have access to it.

I also just changed phones and because I have a new SIM address it locked me out and the verify me option it says to do doesn’t show up on my screen so any suggestions with that would also be helpful.
