Coinbase is a pure scam.

So here is the story. Last month I tried to pay nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac for his design. I never owned any bitcoins before so that I need a way to buy some bitcoins. I opened a Coinbase account and put some money in it. Then I have to transfer this money to Coinbase wallet so I paid roughly 5 USD fee. Then I want to buy bitcoins but then it’s KYC so I can’t. Then I wanted to withdraw my fund. Paid another fee. Why Coinbase doesn’t pop up the KYC before I add money to it?

I spent 10USD for nothing. Pure scam. I did find another way to pay nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac but it’s a different story.

It’s called shotgun KYC and your story is exactly the reason why they do it. They milk people for a few bucks here and there, and hope that most of them will value a few bucks and some time spent on opening the account higher than their privacy.

Avoid the creep!

Make #Nostr Better!

Whenever you run into an error while using a #Nostr web client, please share the screenshot of the dev console with the app developer. This will help them troubleshoot the issue and improve user experience for EVERYONE!

If you do not know who the developer of the client you are using is, feel free to post your concern, attach screenshots and tag me. I'll make sure the message gets across.

Don't know how to open the developer console on your web browser? Here you go:

Damus never fails to deliver that wake-up call

No. I’m ashamed to say I’ve got a spare raspberry pi laying around and I can’t find time to dedicate to my nodes education. Got too much on my plate. But all of those things are exciting, so no regrets.

Hope I’ll find some time to dig deeper. Got nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll on my radar too. Really wanna compare different approaches!
