LibertyReserve mass account blocking

Hit Reload.  It's up.


Incidentally, ...  LR comes back and BTC/USD jumps 7% in a matter of hours?

Coincidence?

Confirmed to be up. Hit Shift + Refresh to force reload the page if you still see the maintenance page.

we opened the faucet! I guess a lot of people were waiting to unload LR and load BTC.

This is very interesting. Your exchange service must be part of what caused a high volume of transactions in the last hours:

03/09/2012. LibertyReserve Scam Warning and Daily News from the Industry

Thanks for this. LR website up but.. no withdrawals!

All the assurances left by LibertyReserve on their official blog are no more than a slap in the face for the ever suffering clients:

“We have finished restoring account access statuses for many accounts that were erroneously secured before. Now, you should have full access to your accounts and funds within them.”

I would like to report that not only were the problems not fixed, there were actually more blockages/limitations reported after LibertyReserve came back online after the week of “maintenance” including one of my own LR accounts.

Check and check..

E-gold was more like Liberty Reserve. Liberty Reserve is now down for maintenance after reports from people getting locked out of their high-value accounts.

This will be an interesting few weeks. Here's what I hope to see:

✔ LR will be gone.
✔ Pirate will be gone.
☑ Bitcoin will remain standing.

The reports from http://www.talkgold.com/forum/r366628-.html are inconclusive.

Anyone knows more about the LR situation at this point ?

BTC-e, for instance, appears to now be allowing LR deposits and withdrawals once again.

(Their most recent update of their deposit and withdraw methods no longer has the "temporarily unavailable" warning removed.

But BitInstant is no longer accepting LR it appears.

I also notice more digital currency exchanges are accepting Bitcoin. 

There's the originals yet, ... Aurum X Change, Nanaimo Gold, WM-Center and Lilion Transfer (and now Bitcoins Direct)
but newly added (or fairly new... like new in 2012) are 
 ECurrencyZone.net
 euromoneychange.com
 fastexchanger.net
 minute-exchange.com

and a few others possibly.  Instead of LR being the common denominator used for exchanging digital currencies it appears Bitcoin is starting to fill that role.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Zeek Rewards.
