Comment on Ask HN: Does anyone know what's going on at Coinbase?parent

Comments

Can you please describe the implementation of this system, and the problems encountered recently, in more detail?

Which database systems are involved in the "database migration" described in the support center article? Please list at least the product names and versions.

What was the nature of the "refactor"? What programming languages and implementations were involved, for instance?

What exactly happened during the "database migration"? Was there any data loss?

What sort of backup infrastructure is in place?

Im a Coinbase customer. I'm waiting for my pending transaction to go through, and for USD to hit my bank account. And I'd rather have Fred and the rest of Coinbase working on solving that problem than explaining what, exactly, the glitch is, and while they're at it, what their entire infrastructure looks like. There will be time for explanations later.

False dichotomy. I'm sure someone in the entire company has five minutes while fixing the problem to explain to us what's going on.

You may be overestimating how many people 'the entire company' is ;)

Judging by the design, two? :P

maybe if enough people get sick of losing real money, we will finally be able to put some regulation around ecomerce sites security, privacy and data protection
