Coinbase is leaking ETC - Get your coins out!
Do you want to keep your ETC? Then you should get your ETC out of coinbase.com ASAP!
According to Peter Todd, a well know #bitcoin figure, the wallet/exchange is currently leaking ETC due to the replay attack that can be preformed on ETC/ETH after recent hard fork.
What exactly does this even mean? I thought you couldnt buy ETC there?
Peter is reffering to the ETC that is linked to your ETH wallet. If you held ETH before the hard fork you got the same amount of ETC (on the old block chain). 1 ETH = 1 ETC if it was held before block #1920000.

Please do NOT return any free coins you get to Coinbase. They rob us blind via pump and dumps... so glad to see them losing money.
Will be interesting to see what they have to say about this one. Maybe in their eyes, they are not losing any money (coins) since they are not officially handling ETC.
