Some representatives of the Bitcoin community Coinbase offer to remove from the list of recommended kriptovalyutnyh purses on Bitcoin.org site because of growing complaints about the platform.
Some Bitcoin enthusiasts dissatisfied statements kriptovalyutnoy Coinbase platform possible support "rigid fork" and unwillingness to work with an alternative token ecosystem Ethereum - ETC (Ethereum Classic).
"In light of recent events I would like to resume the discussion on the possible exclusion from the list Coinbase" Choose your wallet "on the website [Bitcoin.org]», - wrote a user from Hungary under the nickname nopara73 on GitHub portal.
According to him, Coinbase behavior raises many questions, whether it is their refusal to support the removal of assets in the ETC, and the delay in the issuance of funds from the accounts of users that have been discussed in recent days, the medium Bitcoin enthusiasts.
Nopara73 opinion was supported by several representatives of the Bitcoin community, including at the notorious mysterious user under the name Cobra-Bitcoin, which is known for having offered to carry out "changes in the" White Paper "Bitcoin" manifesto Satoshi Nakamoto.
"I support the idea of removing them. Their leadership continues to make bad decisions, and they have the impression, trying to undermine the work of Bitcoins in some way (supported by XT, Classic, Ethereum and so on). I do not understand how a normal person can use their services. This is not a company, the use of which we should push new users. Coinbase too irresponsible, they forgot that in fact are the bank and, therefore, should not behave as inconsiderate startup, whose purpose - only the "rapid development". I am very pleased that more and more people are beginning to understand the truth about Coinbase », - wrote Cobra-Bitcoin.

Simple Bitcoin-user would not be able to attend at the meeting in Hong Kong and, moreover, would not be authorized to sign such documents.
Other users suggested that for Cobra-Bitcoin nickname hides another Bitcoin enthusiast, Theymos, known for his strong statements about Bitcoin. Speculation based on the fact that they are both domain owners Bitcoin.org.
The decision to expel Coinbase used and some developers Bitcoin core - Peter Todd and Jonas Shnelli. The latter, in particular, offered to enter alert mode for Coinbase: not completely remove them from the list, and make less bright icon and add a warning label, when you click on that would be floated with an explanation of the window, why Coinbase deactivated.
