also i don't have 2 verification on my wallet how he get my password i think is very sick site now is down for 10 hours and they say that localbitcoins had no problem and user are responsible for the lose.

That isn't a hacker, most likely.  It is, most likely, Localbitcoins moving coins around among all of their addresses, some of which are private LBC addresses (for use by the company exclusively) and some are assigned to LBC members (who cannot spend the coins because they don't have the private keys).

Whenever you send BTC to LBC, they move it to other addresses a few minutes later for some reason.  So I think you are worried about something that you don't need to worry about.  The main issue right now is that their site is down.  Once it comes back up, I bet you'll see your balance is just what you originally had in there.

Exactly this.  LBC always moves the coins around.  In "your" address you never actually have coin there.  I always have coin on LBC in "my" address I send coin to but it eventually always has zero coin in it yet I always have a balance at LBC.

Am I the only one who's getting nervous about the long down time?

Am I the only one who's getting nervous about the long down time?

It does seem to be taking a long time to install a new server.  But, maybe, they cannot just drive over to the nearest Fry's and pick one up...

Yeah, nervous, but also quiet because I have been in the middle of a scramble to replace broken hardware.  I won't be too nervous until next Saturday.  And..., well, I said it before.  Everyone knows who the Kangas brothers are.

[giszmo]

Well, for one it would be reassuring to have some redirect in the meantime. Just a 404 is not really good business practice.

It takes 55s to fire up a server on DigitalOcean (love them) and you pay per hour, not per 2 years as with the dinosaurs in the business.

Things are looking up

What was the other site?

I have a question about Feedback.  Ok, so a buyer makes request for sizable amount of Bitcoins ties up my BTC for most of the 3 hour payment window then cancels. 

Looks like I can leave feedback, can they do the same for me?  I don't want to leave bad feedback if they can retaliate.

Yes, they can retaliate.

It's called hedging ones bets

Are you the CEO of localbitcoins.com??
why your trust is "-4"   

Can I believe you or your exchanges?

default trust is bad.... very bad.

[DannyHamilton]

why your trust is "-4"  

You know that the word "trust" in the user profile is a link, right?  And that you can click that link to find out exactly why someone has the trust rating that they do, right?

The number is meaningless.  What's important is what's said, and who said it.

Here, take a look at the trust you are asking about and decide for yourself:

Down.

Because I need to sell a bitcoin fast-ish, the site goes down.  This is analogous to how the rest of my life goes as well.

Quick update for all of you that aren't online in #localbitcoins-chat:

[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

[bigtimespaghetti]

Yeah, update appreciated bitcoininformation.
