The tinfoil hat / OCD guide to withdrawals from Coinbase Pro to Trezor via Electrum
Had occasion to do a small, but non-trivial withdraw from Coinbase Pro to Trezor via Electrum. Since the "How do I withdraw" question is asked almost daily, I went ahead and documented my (OCD) steps. If you wanted to, you could reduce the steps to probably less than 5, but this covers most situations. I suppose you could start adding a faraday cage if you wanted to dial it up to eleven.
- Pair your Trezor to a GPG verified up-to-date copy of Electrum
- In Electrum create a receive request
- In your notebook, write the first 6 and last 6 characters of the address
- Click the eyeball icon to show this address on your Trezor
- Verify the first 6 and last 6 from your notebook on the Trezor LCD
- Click the copy icon in Electrum to move the address to the clipboard
- On the address tab, click CTRL-F to start a search and paste the address
- Enable "show details" for the address with a right-click
- From details box, copy the Address, Pubkey, and derivation to notepad
- Verify the first 6 and last 6 from your notebook with what was pasted in notepad
- Log into Coinbase Pro and generate a BTC (only) statement for a current time period
- Log into your email and find the last "available balance increase" msg from CB
- Review your statement and write down what the BTC balance was 24 hrs before the msg
- Go to CB Pro address book and add the address recorded in notepad
- Verify the first 6 and last 6 from your notebook with what was just done
- Begin a BTC withdraw from Coinbase Pro
- Use the entry you made in your CB Pro address book for the withdraw
- The address may truncate, right click on it and select "inspect" to view the HTML
- In the raw HTML you should see the untruncated address.
- Verify the first 6 and last 6 from your notebook with the address in HTML
- Use the amount you recorded earlier from your statement. Round down for fees.
- Copy the suggested fee into notepad with your other records
- Calculate the amount of fees suggested and deliberate if this is what you want.
- Begin the withdraw to advance to the confirmation screen
- In the confirmation screen ensure that the "Total" is less than the amt recorded earlier
- Verify the amount is what you requested
- Verify the first 6 and last 6 from your notebook with the address in the confirmation
- Verify the fee is what was suggested previously
- Accept the confirmation to commit the withdraw
- Get a beer an wait for a while
- Check electrum to see if any TXNs have started for your wallet
- If no network activity is registered on that address check the CB records
- From "Portfolio" click "Withdraws"
- Check to see if your withdraw is in the withdraw log
- If it is, click the withdraw to get specifics
- If it is not check your email and SMS for alerts
- If your balance is reduced but your withdraw is absent, open a ticket
