Let's talk about getting Hive account@steem on Coinbase.

When we get coinbase to start trading steem, we first need to look at the accounts Hive account@coinbase and Hive account@coinbasepro. These accounts are going to be a big deciding factor in setting up a wallet for coinbase.inc. The company will want Hive account@coinbase and possibly Hive account@coinbasepro for good business reasons. The first thing I would look at when scoping out a wallet is what wallet options I have when using graphene type blockchain programs. As we all know a convenient feature with graphene is the easy and unique wallet names. It's in Coinbase.inc best interest to not lose a valued new customer due to an honest mistake. Take a look at the wallets transfers https://steemit.com/@coinbase/transfers its full of people transferring steem in on accident. Anyone know why people are transferring steem into Hive account@coinbase? One individual (Hive account@thisisbenbrick) received a refund, looks to me like the only transaction on the Hive account@coinbase account has made.

Unfortunately, Hive account@sam-bo is still trying to get back 836.173 STEEM he accidentally sent to Hive account@coinbase. ouch On a side note, Hive account@blocktrades if you haven't already could you add Hive account@coinbase to your blacklist of transfers? (till we get STEEM on Hive account@coinbase) to help out others.
While some would argue this is a great learning experience its not a good way to recruit one of the largest and most respectable crypto exchanges in the USA if someone else has the keys to Hive account@coinbase. So what can we do to help and who has what could be the most valuable account in the future?

So my question is:

• Who is in charge of the keys to Hive account@coinbase?
• The account Hive account@steemaddress is most likely the owner of Hive account@coinbasepro based on transfers in Hive account@coinbasepro. Hive account@steemaddress would you like to comment?
• Hive account@ned could you confirm or deny who owns the account Hive account@coinbase?
• Say we don't find the owner of Hive account@coinbase what are our options?
• The account was created (https://steemdb.com/block/480182) the same time Hive account@tombstone was interacting on the blockchain. Perchance Hive account@tombstone, did you see or know who was taking up some big crypto domain names at that time?

So what do you think? Do you have any detective skills? Please share what you find or thoughts in the comments. A 5 STEEM reward for the best information will be distributed to the top three comments from Hive account@steem-bounty.
