seanponeil··on Coinbase Leads Charge In Bitcoin’s Consumerization
It's too bad that Coinbase is one of the harder exchanges to work with. Coinbase consistently cancel transactions right before they are supposed to go through because they "appear to be high risk". I loved Coinbase when I first used it, but Bitinstant -> Mt Gox is far more reliable.
