For an alternative view, Coinbase just saved me several thousand dollars.

So after reading about issues with Coinbase on this subreddit, I decided to transfer my eth to my own personal wallet. So I copy/pasted my personal key into Coinbase, tried to send my money... and Coinbased refused to send. I kept trying, and they kept canceling the transaction.Turns out, someone had hijacked my copy/paste function and I was pasting in a scammers address. I had never even considered this type of malware, but Coinbase recognized the address and refused to send to it. The site could gave been clearer on why send was failing, but still it really saved me.Just something to think about.
