Nope. I did a wire. I have called my bank and coinbase's bank and neither have seen the wire.

There's plenty of people online complaining that wires in and out of Coinbase from December 12-18th have yet to process. There's even a class action lawsuit being formed about it.

My worst fear is that Coinbase is insolvent.

Surely they would have to be thoroughly pwned for that to be true? They claim that 98% of customer funds are in cold storage, and they ought to be raking it in on transaction fees and with BTC being up 1372% this year. They also raised a $100M Series D round in August. It's not impossible, but highly unlikely.

Same was true of MtGox, right up until it wasn't, no?

MtGox was run by a team of clowns, the comparison to CoinBase, issues aside, is ridiculous.

And Bitcoin Market ? TradeHill ? Youbit ? Bitcoin-central ? Bitcoinica ? Bitstake ? Intersango ? FXBTC ? Bitmarket.eu ? Bitfloor ? Bitomat ? Britcoin ? Vault of Satoshi ? Kapiton ? WeExchange ? UpBit ? CoinEX ? Cryptorush ? McxNow ? MintPal ? SwissCEX ? Prelude ? LibertyBit ? Comkort ? CoinSwap ? BitYes ? Yacuna ? Virtex (I remember this one, was very big and "trustworthy") ? Excoin ? BitSpark ? Coin.Mx ? Harborly ?

I did a wire on 12/13 and 12/16 without issue. This is likely user error.
