–Got tired of hassling with Kraken delays and opened a Coinbase account. In 15 minutes I was able to buy $5,000 in Bitcoin. Turns out I can’t do much with it for a while, but Coinbase is still way ahead of Kraken for customer friendliness. Also turns out that when I added a Coinbase wallet, it showed the $10,000 I sent into the ether (heh heh) a couple years ago. Even further turns out there are lots of reputable recovery firms available now, so I’ll look into getting it back. Not likely, I know.
–Hey–actually succeeded in sending $10 Ethereum from Metamask to my Coinbase wallet, where it became almost $20, I guess because Metamask was showing the value from years ago when it was left over from all my previous crypto escapades. Yay! [edit] Okay, it just dropped to $10 in Coinbase. As usual, I have no idea what’s going on.
