RE:Buying COINsTransfer some bitcoin in, or set up netcents as a bill payee on your online banking. I did both, bitcoin was in account in an hour and online banking took 1.5 days.
Shareholder codes were issued to shareholders before end of october or early november something like that...you likely missed that deadline as did I.
Also, anyone notice that during the big dip in bitcoin price today that coinbase was "down" then when is was back online the price had revovered partially. Read between the lines, theres market manipulatuon in all markets...
