Ask HN: “Coinbase just sent you 0.002329 BTC”
So I just got this email from Coinbase:<p>------<p>Hi xxx,<p>Coinbase just sent you 0.002329 BTC (worth $0.99 USD) using Coinbase.<p>Attached message:<p>Thank you for applying to YC in the most recent batch! We&#x27;re sending $1 of bitcoin to everyone who applied.
Click here to sign in and view this transaction<p>Kind regards,<p>The Coinbase Team<p>------<p>It is very nice that they plan to give $1 to every applicant of the most recent YC batch, but I certainly did not applied for YC. I just sent them an email asking them if it is a mistake. In the mean time, I am curious if anyone else here got a similar message. Did you actually have applied to YC&#x27;s last batch?<p>P.S.: someone asks question about whether this email is from Coinbase.<p>screenshot of email content:
