The Offer
- Coinbase is currently offering up to $10 of EOS. You get $2 per short video you watch and there is a total of 5 videos.
Our Verdict
Coinbase does something similar for both XLM & BAT. Pretty easy way to get some free cryptocurrency. You can also get $50 in XLM from Blockchain Wallet.
Hat tip to reader Steve
Is there a referral page for EOS?
no
I have one, but every time someone uses it, I never get the credit despite them completing it literally right next to me
Two months after being on the wait list I received an email today that I could earn EOS finally!
Ack! there is a quiz and I wasn’t paying attention.
There’s yet another one of these available now: $6 of DAI for watching 3 videos.
I’m having trouble withdrawing the DAI via pro.coinbase.com. All the other currencies were easy, but since this one is fiat and based on USD, it isn’t letting me do it via the pro site.
Are you talking about some restriction Coinbase has where they don’t allow USD accounts for people in some states/countries? I don’t know the answer for that case, though maybe you can use the method below and sell for ETH (which you could then sell for whatever currency you want). Or possibly you could send the DAI to a different exchange that’ll let you sell it for what you want.
If that’s not what you mean, then I might see what you’re talking about: unlike other coins, that Coinbase Pro lets you deposit from Coinbase for free, they don’t seem to have that option for Coinbase. But, on the Coinbase side, you can send your DAI to any address (such as the Coinbase Pro deposit address); there’s a fee but only about 5 cents. Then on Coinbase Pro you can sell DAI for ETH or USDC (which you can convert into USD for no fee). Or, on Coinbase you can sell DAI directly for USD, but the worse price & fee would cost you around $1.02.
I can’t send my DAI to coinbase pro deposit address. Normally one can deposit to coinbase pro, but for DAI I cannot deposit by pulling into pro, and I also can’t by sending from coinbase. Try it yourself and let me know if you figure it out, please.
It’s worse than I thought. The method I mentioned of sending DAI from Coinbase to Coinbase Pro didn’t work; it said “You can’t sent a payment from an account to itself”. I guess Coinbase recognizes the Coinbase Pro deposit address as being part of Coinbase (but Coinbase Pro doesn’t you access the DAI balance that’s in Coinbase).
So, I just sold my DAI in Coinbase for $4.97 USD (losing about $1 due to Coinbase’s fee).
(Maybe another method, if you happen to have your own ETH wallet, would be to send DAI from Coinbase to your own wallet, then send from your wallet to Coinbase Pro to sell it for USDC. (I think you would need to have a small amount of ETH in your wallet to pay the fee to send the DAI.))
I got it to work today. Coinbase Pro now does allow access to your DAI balance on coinbase.
Love free money (except for selling your info to Coinbase, but that’s all been leaked by Equifax anyways, very freeing). Keep these coming.
Consider using pro.coinbase.com to cash out. I ended up stranding 15 cents of EOS because it didn’t let me transfer more than 2 decimal places but still came out ahead of cashing it all out for the dollar fee.
Does Coinbase have answers like “EOS is a $4 billion dollar year long ICO created by serial founder and shiller Dan Larimer, and by child start turned pedophile Brock Pierce”?
Appears to be unavailable in New York City?
“Earning Unavailable
Unfortunately this opportunity is not available in your region.”
From my understanding, Coinbase does not allow residents of New York state to buy and sell cryptocurrency for some legal reason. I believe all other states allow it, but I need to verify that. Coinbase has an explanation on their website.
Depends on the coins. Not sure why they allow some and not others, but NY people can get BTC, ETC, ETH, LTC from coinbase… and probably some others. Through robinhood they can get Doge even. So no idea why Doge is okay but EOS isn’t.
Apparently “New York State is especially strict when it comes to approving money transmitter licenses”, and each cryptocurrency an exchange wants to support has to be separately licensed, which takes time and money which Coinbase hasn’t bothered to put into newer/less-popular coins yet (or might already be in progress, but takes months).
Thanks. Easy $10, too bad we cant convert to another cryto on this one. Browser doesnt look bad either.
trash coin. sell and buy RVN instead
Thanks. Easy $10 after I verified my account. 🙂
