Help! Coinbase New Rule
First time buy of the year. Seems Coinbase have changed their rules since end of year. I need to enter the Exchange sending coin to and a Name? Is the Exchange Transaxe? Can I just put any name. I havent got a Wallet usually just send it direct and dont want/know how to set up a Wallet (old technophobe Boomer). Help on this appreciated as was looking forward to the "first smoke of the year" this weekend. Thanks

I set up exodus wallet. Then from CB I check send to self , and send the btc to the exodus wallet, from exodus I send for an lb transaction. I have signed up for Revolut acc but haven’t had any need to use that yet, if CB throw more curve balls in future may ditch it for Revolut, but for now cb to exodus works for me

With stuff all getting more strict and monitored, I'd definitely recommend setting up a Wallet! I was the exact same, but it's really just a few annoying extra steps and covers you WAY more than doing direct. I set up an Electrum Wallet (free) which I still use now after 2 years, it's pretty easy to use after the slight faff of setting it up. In a nutshell you (1) send your money from Coinbase to your wallet by making a 'request' in the wallet which basically just gives you a bitcoin address to send your funds from Coinbase to. Send it top that address just like you were sending to a person on LB, after a little delay (and a small sending fee) boom it appears in the wallet. (2) You then can send from there to whatever bitcoin address the seller gives you, with one very important extra layer of protection (i.e. Coinbase only know you've sent to a Wallet and they don't care beyond that!) Not sure about other wallets, but Electrum also has a little slider when you get to the last bit where you actually send the funds so you can decide how quickly they go. I usually leave this as low as it will go, but in a rush you can bump it up by a few dollars to have it go through quicker. Check out some 'how to' guides online for the Wallet setup and good luck! Takes about 30mins to set one up :)

Hey bud,

I always try to advise sending to a wallet such as Exodus or Trust wallet, which can be downloaded from both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

From either of those wallets, send to LB.

You may come across some additional fees, but it won't give you the headache that can come with Coinbase.

Hope this helps!
