Same here, I like the interface and enjoy being able to easily see all my balances and don't need 2FA as this is view-only but I like to enable 2FA whenever possible.
This is exactly what I have been looking for! I just signed up and added a couple of wallet addresses and I have to say, it looks really good. I can't wait for the iOS app, any info on an approximate release timeframe?
Is it possible you have more than one account/wallet on Coinbase? We currently only pull 1 account from Coinbase (whichever one is your first). We are working on making it pull all your accounts.
Did you use the Coinbase integration[0] or add an address from Coinbase manually? The latter will likely not work due to the way Coinbase generates addresses for each transaction.
Mildly off-topic, but a fun side effect of this site's demographic is when someone does a "Show HN", competitors regularly show up in the comments section and try to convince you how the submitted app is no good, and to try their app.
It's almost a view into the viability of the market (or whatever it's called) to see how many competitors comment - the more, the better. Right?
Correct. Though there is an issue of plausible deniability if we do get breached, assuming a user who absolutely requires it used a username that can be tied back to them. We're working on a solution for that.
If you require plausible deniability to be safe or avoid incarceration, I would recommend not using Balances at this time – I obviously can't guarantee that we are safe from a very motivated intruder, but we have taken many paranoid precautions to avoid such a breach.
Nevermind, apparently the Dogecoin QT app makes new addresses every time coins are sent out so I had to track all my coins to the last one that still had all my coins
Incorrect. There are no "wallets" on the blockchain. In fact, the blockchain is not even organized by address. The blockchain is simply a ledger of inputs and outputs, most of which refer to a certain address or addresses (but not to wallets).
If someone uses a new Bitcoin address for each transaction, there is no way outside of statistical analysis (which may not even work in many cases) to know which addresses belongs to which wallets.

I do wish that you had a transaction history more like Mint does. The balance only isn't too useful for me.
Transactions are in progress (https://balances.io/transactions). Definitely something we want for ourselves as well, and we'll get it released ASAP.
The balance displayed is much less than what the wallet contains, because of the internal addresses from the key pool.

Seriously, though, this is kinda neat.
