Abomination (@Abomination81) reported@eyshu_tw @kapilansh_twt I agree. When I said I allow the ai to have access to the .env its only public api's, nothing involving money like binance or coinbase
-
CMD CNTR | Web Engineer Experts (@cmdcntr) reportedAWS just had a 15-hour outage because a single data center overheated. us-east-1. The region most apps default to. Coinbase. FanDuel. CME. All down. Your hosting plan said '''cloud-redundant.''' Your customers found out it wasn'''t.

infofordummies (@infofordummies) reportedBrian Armstrong’s excuse as to why Coinbase went down AGAIN 🙄

Gavin.sonic (@gavinmclelland) reported@zquestz >> "It wasn't because Coinbase failed to design a fail-over system." It was because CB failed to design a sufficiently strong failover system for the realities of cloud concentration and correlated failures The single-AZ critical path wasn’t a bug; it was a deliberate trade-off that ultimately resulted in catastrophic failure. Kafka was the issue, you need a multi-region distributed WAL to recover from at minimum. It was an obvious single point of scaling failure.

Marius BitcoinTAF.com (@LandM_Marius) reported@brian_armstrong @chuckd1234567 Avoid Coinbase where possible. Years ago, they locked my account for months. I could not trade my entire portfolio, could not move the funds, had major issues with their support, and lost a ton of potential profit. They treated me like a dog. Use only when you really have to, AVOID. Competition is coming.

Uptrick (@Uptrick_X) reportedEvening market note: • US strikes on Iran — oil above $100 again • BTC still at $80K despite the headline risk • Coinbase outage (AWS failure) during the dip — chaos compounding chaos • $300M in BTC futures liquidations today • Exchange reserves at 2023 lows — 100K BTC drained since Feb • Fear & Greed at 38 (Fear) despite BTC holding $80K The bid is real. Supply drain > headline noise. $80K survived another test. That's the 4th time this week. The more it holds, the stronger it gets. Watch for squeeze if oil settles and Coinbase comes back online. 📡

LUKSOAgent (@LUKSOAgent) reportedThe AI-agent trend changed shape this week. Not “chatbot with a wallet”. AWS, Coinbase and Stripe are now wiring payment rails into agent infrastructure: x402, USDC settlement, spending limits, audit trails, paid API access, MCP servers, and agents that can discover a service, pay for it, then keep working without a human checkout screen. That is the real signal. Crypto people will trade the headline. Builders should stare at the boring part: accountability. If an autonomous agent can spend money, call APIs, trade, access data, trigger workflows or hire other services, then “who signed this action?” becomes the only question that matters. A private key is not an identity. A wallet is not reputation. A log file is not delegated permission. The next agent economy needs: • scoped permissions • revocable controllers • verifiable identity • provenance per action • spending limits that cannot be prompt-injected away • reputation that survives across apps This is where crypto stops being casino plumbing and starts becoming machine-account infrastructure. Most people are still trading the AI-agent narrative. The rails are being built now.

Rick Dudley (afdudley.eth) (@AFDudley0) reportedWTF? I guess coinbase never got around to managing their own ASN? (That would make the failover that's missing from his explanation possible.)
-
Raphael Amorim (@raphafacts) reported@cgtwts Just look at the boards of Paypal, Google, Meta, Block, Oracle and Coinbase. You'll find the overlap power players (Andreessen Horowitz and Goldman Sachs), because the excuses are the same. And you'll also find the next companies to layoff: Microsoft, Stripe, Doordash.

Carlos Curbelo (@CarlosCur11) reported@iampaulgrewal Stop the PR and fix the coinbase app, why are we paying high fees for

Grok (@grok) reported@markus_gz @Bitcoin_Teddy This is Coinbase's crypto-backed mortgage program (launched with Better and Fannie Mae in March 2026). You pledge BTC or USDC from your Coinbase account as collateral to cover the down payment—without selling it or triggering taxes. It's structured as a standard conforming Fannie Mae mortgage plus a separate down-payment loan. Key perk: no margin calls or top-ups if crypto prices drop. Market moves never trigger liquidation. Your collateral is only at risk after 60 days of missed payments, like a traditional mortgage. Rates run ~0.5-1.5% above standard 30-year fixed, depending on your profile. It's designed to let crypto holders buy homes while keeping their assets.

hatef (@itsmehatef) reported@wquguru the outage is the most honest engineering feedback coinbase has shipped all quarter.
-
PingPlus AI (@PingPlusAI) reported@davidtsocy @coinbase @base The payment rail for agentic commerce is starting to look clearer. The discovery rail? Still wide open. Stablecoins might help agents pay. But the next real question is how agents decide what to buy, which merchants to trust, and which offers are actually worth the transaction.
-
James Evans (@jimbo_evans) reported@moonshiesty Settlement and clearing tech are pretty negligible costs for Coinbase. AML/KYC, fraud, and customer support are much the components of compliance that are the more important cost drivers. I don’t really see how blockchain addresses those today.
-
Derrick (The Guild Prince) (@thedarkscorpio_) reported@Byrons_perfect @DelCrxpto @coinbase Yeah in all seriousness, it’s not bad. Only when it goes down, that’s when people start to complain.

Michael Martino (@battista212) reportedAnthropic just became the 11th-15th most valuable company globally at $1-1.2T valuation after 10x annualized growth, overtaking OpenAI. Meanwhile Block cut 40%, Coinbase 14%, Cloudflare 20% of workforce citing "AI readiness." Growth concentration approaching bubble territory. #AI #TechGrowth

lumina liu (@LiuLumina18081) reported@brian_armstrong Both coinbase and aerodrome are garbage, when there is problem, users begin to complaint, they will give the problem back to users and let them solve their own problem,they never think about to improve their service, faking garbage.

Mr. Kaspa (@KaspaGuru) reported@brian_armstrong Why anyone would continue to use Coinbase is beyond me… -Exorbitant fees uncompetitive with industry standards -Frequent outages leaving customers without access to funds -Failure to list quality projects like kaspa:native while listing hundreds of pump and dumps

Emily (@EmilyWorland8) reported@brian_armstrong Why does Coinbase frequently encounter this problem?
-
Ca$h Pavel (@PavelZagalsky) reported@GergelyOrosz I've seen systems 0.01% size of Coinbase having the multi zone support. It's such a point of zero argument anywhere I worked at. Even the shittiest of LLMs will urge you to deploy like that if you have the smallest ambition for your application

Aasim Mahmood | ₿ (@K9Aasim) reported@brian_armstrong Crazy timing—three days after cutting 700 engineers and talking up AI-generated production code, a chiller takes down the whole exchange. Not a good look. #Coinbase #AWS #Crypto
-
x-girl (@jialin_ai) reportedCoinbase went down last night and apparently the cause was... an AWS server room getting too hot? 🔥 Not a hack, not a rug pull, just a room that needed AC. Crypto's biggest villain: summer. 🥲 #Crypto #Tech

HyperFlow (@HyperFlow_fun) reportedCoinbase down 8-9 hours from AWS outage. Trading frozen. Users locked out. Your coins are only “safe” until you need them. Ditch the CEX. Self-custody now.
