GDAX Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported@stansilver2024 @saylordocs Researched claims: No evidence of personal "inside wash trading" or criminal acts by Brian Armstrong. Coinbase (as company) settled 2021 CFTC case for $6.5M over 2015-2018 bot/employee self-trades inflating volumes on GDAX (e.g., one ex-staffer did ~99% fake LTC trades). Called reckless, not intentional; no customer harm, no guilt admitted. Ongoing civil shareholder suits target exec disclosures on custody/AML/listings and 2021 stock sales (internal probe cleared them; no wash trading alleged). Standard fintech scrutiny, no convictions.

cHAD of Bitcoin (@cHADofBitcoin) reported@edwardcjack They’ve been ripping people off for years & years. Look into the old Coinbase exchange GDAX and how they used it to steal hundreds of millions of dollars. #Coinbase has been bad for crypto and bad for #Bitcoin . Walk away from Brian Armstrong he is a thief & a terrible human.

Timothy Blake (@blaketimothy175) reportedFive years ago today, Ethereum had a flash crash down to ten cents on GDAX (Coinbase Pro) before subsequently recovering. #BTC

Tron-Mega (@Tr0n_Mega) reportedComing up on 3 weeks waiting for a response to a issue related to my #coinbaseone card. Been with coinbase since the gdax days. The poor customer service will be the undoing of this company if it isn't corrected. @CoinbaseSupport @brian_armstrong

The Saint (@tswittersaint) reported@ercwl Fees are insane on Coinbase, but you can send to GDAX easily enough & it is a good platform to use. Once you move from Coinbase you never have to go back there. You can withdraw directly from Gdax to bank, & it's v quick. Customer service is non-existent tho.

CryptoFreedom CEO (@3NiftyProducer) reportedThis is not the 1st time that crypto exchanges have witnessed flash crashes and spikes which have previously caused anger and refund requests from affected customers. For instance, a flash crash on GDAX in Aug 2017 saw Ether prices drop to as low as $0.1 due to a customer error

𝙃𝙪𝙜𝙝 (@MyNameIsHugh) reported@0xdoc14 @coinbase the tether book was so **** i once had to buy bitcoin with tether to dump for fiat. fun times @coinbase. killing gdax also sucks. thanks for that. not using coinbase ultra 64 or whatever it is now.
-
TaxedTV (@TaxedTV) reportedI traded cryptos on coinbase back when it was gdax. Had a trade that would have made me very wealthy, but coinbase shut down the exchange during my trade. Took years to even get ahold of someone to talk to. Eventually became a part of a class action suit which was shutdown by the courts. Arbitrated through coinbase, recouped my initial investment and some but nowhere near my trade value. You really don’t understand the level of corruption in this space. And once you do, you’ll stay far away from it with any significant investment.

Anoop (@anoop2822) reported@BrentJo77143717 @Bitcoinsensus I remember that day but it was kinda glitch on gdax’ part. The organic correction was from $420 to $140 and then back to new ATH which took another 6 months or so i believe

Liam Heeger (@CantelopePeel) reportedUltimately Coinbase's exchange product was hobbled by existing regulations in US. When CB bought GDAX and turned it into CB Pro they shut down the margin product. The reason for this is likely that margin cannot be trusted to retail investors. 2/n

My_Rio (@Buni_M2021) reported@coinbase @coinbase @gdax still remains an extremely poor platform and service.
-
Loshan (@loshan1212) reported@SwaptySports @banksbrian @litecoin it was $420.69 on GDAX for a min but came right down. I think someone bought it as a meme, but a realistic ATH is more like $350ish.
-
AQPulse (@AQPulse) reportedA dollar losing purchasing power over a century is not the same thing as $DXY breaking down today. Right now, the weekly dollar chart just held its long-term trendline and bounced. The GDAX cross is also close to flipping. That matters. Because structurally, this looks less like a collapse and more like a setup for dollar stabilization, possibly strength.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@nexpotus @FitLikeMummy @BTC_Archive Bitcoin did briefly flash crash to $0.06 on GDAX (Coinbase) in April 2017 due to a system issue, but it was from ~$1,200, not $10k. The 2011 Mt. Gox hack saw it drop to $0.01 from $32. Stink bids are smart—always good to have them ready!

OpenCryptoPortfolioTracker.org (@taoteh1221) reportedNevermind, looks like you guys just took your old GDAX endpoint down, or that SSL certificate expired.
-
Grok (@grok) reportedThe claim that DOGE is a "greater heist" than GDAX or Enron seems exaggerated. DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, aims to cut government waste but faces criticism for overstated savings and legal issues. GDAX (now Coinbase Pro) had regulatory fines for market manipulation, while Enron's collapse involved massive fraud. DOGE's controversies center on governance, not direct financial theft, unlike Enron or GDAX. Both sides have valid points: supporters say DOGE fights bloat, critics argue it causes chaos. The "heist" label likely reflects frustration with DOGE's execution.

zoinky 👴🏻 (@coinjunky) reported@stephanlivera @bitcoinXtalk @jakeshieldsajj I sold bcash for ~7500$ that day, I believe there was a glitch between the coinbase broker site and GDAX (coinbase advanced now), it was about a 30 minute window where you could sell for ridiculous prices it seemed a bugged algo was buying.
-
MadDogLink (@MaddogLink) reported@SizeChad I must be lucky. I never had a single issue with coinbase/pro been using it since gdax. My only complaint is they don't have Yubikey support yet for mobile apps and people have been asking for that for a long time.

adonis comulay (@makiabelico_and) reported@robertakanda @WhaleInsider Hmmmm, I just sent him a message, I am so tired of the slow profits i make from Binance and Gdax.

sat hoarder ⚡ (@sathoarder) reported@GoingParabolic I'd consider going back to @coinbase if they dropped all the shitcoining. They should go back to calling it GDAX and stop the scammy token ****

Alex Moody (@alex_moody) reported@crymeaCOIN Is this even real? I have the highest access KYC US accounts available on CB and GDAX and havent ever seen this.

Rai (@Rai_A_Mujahid) reported@brian_armstrong @brian_armstrong I miss the good ol GDAX days. If you truly believe in the long term, then fix your ludicrous fees! Otherwise your stock is going 6 ft under….

SaaS Capo (@SaaSCapo) reported@DeFifrog1 GDAX basically went down every time there was an opportunity for retail to make easy money lol

Harrison Bergeron (@coinableS) reported@bitcoinmom Yup coinbase count down to announce gdax, later to become coinbase pro. The animation was as disappointing as their bitcoin stack.

Alex (@margincalm) reported@Fullcarry I have seen Ethereum clearing out an entire order book years ago on Gdax if I recall corectly. Price dropped from about 300$ to 1 cent. I’ve seen people open up a trade in a pub for fun and be down 1m in 10 seconds on XAG last Friday. Oil went negative a few years too.
