Well you can set up coinbase.com/yourname if you want, I just tried, it's fine.

Perhaps they should reserve whatever URL they're going to use as an example and in their marketing material and redirect that to the settings (or a sales) page.

Perhaps too, they shouldn't write an <a> tag where the text is a URL and the href is a different URL.

I should add, I really like the look of this as a product. I love the idea that I can simply send someone to a web address and they can pay me. The above is merely a comment on the marketing and a small detail, not a criticism of what looks like a great addition.

If you login and create a username, you can go to your own payment page and there's a nice little "ProTip" for you.

Yeah, make news out of no news... If I was them, I'd rather ask people to link Twitter and use the Twitter ID, and not reinvent yet another ID system! I'm tired of companies using cheap tricks like this to attract some temporary attention.

Yeah, gang up, Bitcoin maniacs, and downvote everything that's not affecting the price positively... I thought this was a place for hackers, who want to improve the world with code, and not for the scum of earth - the speculators, but, I guess, some would rather sell their soul for cheap than be honest and act like the real deal.
