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

Maybe a Coinbase engineer can anonymously tell us what's going on over there, because nobody trying to trade with Coinbase can get a public answer.

Money is going missing. Transactions have been delayed for days and, in some cases, over a week. Even amounts already in BTC aren't leaving the system.

Coinbase claimed the other day this was all due to a database migration[1], but they're offline once again.
