Early on, when I joined coinbase, they didn't have identity checks. It was just a place to stash coins as an online wallet. Now they do. Contacting support, they tell me to send copy of ID, but I used a fake name on the account. That gets me nowhere.

I already talked to coinbase a couple years back when buttcoins were like 10k, but didn't tell them I used a fake name. I was worried they'd flag the account as fraudulent. They wanted me to send a copy of my ID. They would have gotten me nowhere so I didn't send it.

So everyone knows, early on coinbase was basically just an online wallet. Their rules were really lax and they didn't give a fuck. But, they decided to go more legit and take on rules that other banks have, like identity verification. So, my account is not actually mine anymore. It's owned by a fake person. And that account is actually technically a fraudulent account now. If you opened up a bank account with a fake name and got caught you'd be in some serious trouble. This is the kind of situation I'm in, (due to coinbase changing their rules and practices)

Why didn´t you just write down that name somewhere you dumb retard?
What was the point of holding those coins if you were just going to throw them away like that anyway? What was your plan here, did you think that you would remember everything after 8 years?

>> No.25623943

>>25620319
If you have the username and password for the account that should be enough to establish your ownership of the coins. You should get a lawyer to type up a letter to Coinbase stating as much and asking that the coins be released to you. Companies are much more likely to respond to letters from a lawyer than from a private individual. You would have to pay the lawyer of course but that's the cost of doing business.

I wrote down my login info for coinbase. Back then (in 2013), the name attached to the account had no functional purpose. Early coinbase was very different from how coinbase is now. My buttcoins are locked down, and owned by a fake name. They're not owned by my username.

Lawyers know how to deal with unfavorable information. The lawyer will probably just write that "my client used a pseudonym to protect their privacy as was customary during the early history of cryptocurrency exchanges when many turned out to be scams" or something like that. Talk to a lawyer.

>> No.25624500

I'm not falling for the false hope everybody is trying to give me.

Coinbase follows standard banking rules. Imagine if you made a bank account with a fake name, the ownership of that account belongs to the fake name, not you. You can't go to the bank and say because you know the log in details that that account is yours. You'll be turned away.

>> No.25624908

Can't you use your private keys to prove ownership of the BTC addresses which funded the Coinbase account? In combination with the account id and password you should be able to build up a large body of evidence that those coins are really yours. All the more reason to get a lawyer involved. Many lawyers work on contingency so you might not even have to pay anything if your BTC isn't recovered.
