A small update for you sir:
Quick update for all of you that aren't online in #localbitcoins-support:
[16:43:17] <non2> admins , news ??
[16:43:54] <sagei> Did someone take all the coins?
[16:46:01] <sagei> Seems like all my coins are gone.
[16:46:11] <jeremias> no, looks like server crash
[16:46:24] <-- sidiberd (~sidiberd@41.251.129.36) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[16:46:51] <jeremias> but I'm researching it now, doesn't look like a hack, all servers in a specific datacenter have rebooted
[16:47:11] <jeremias> for unknown reason, might be electricity
EDIT: [17:58:02] <jeremias> well, it was electricity problem, and all servers were rebooted
[17:59:23] --> sidiberd (~sidiberd@41.251.129.36) has joined #localbitcoins-chat
[18:02:45] <coin_trader> well yea, but how long does it all take to boot up? I'm guessing there's more of a process than hitting a button and walking away
[18:06:18] <jeremias> yeah, our server setup is quite complicated
[18:06:21] <jeremias> ETA 1-2 hours
[18:06:39] <coin_trader> gotcha
I would do escrow for free if you want me to. However, I have no idea what the risks of those payment methods are, since I cannot/do not use them (European).
