Not to hijack this thread, but Mycelium for Android has a built-in trading function similar to LBTC. At least for cash deals. Possibly harder to regulate ;-)

Mycelium local trader still relies on centralized server infrastructure afaik. Correct me if I'm wrong.

any informations, why it's not available in germany anymore?

They say due to regulatory reasons so basically some people who are supported by men with guns want their cut and if they don't get it then they scare localbc away...

as a german citizen I'd be really interested those 'issues'.

I don't see how it's different from what bitcoin.de does (mediate deals between private individuals).

Wether the individuals would have to register with the bafin (banking regulator) or have to pay taxes and which ones is up to those individuals in my view.



Oooooh but it is.
At least according to BaFin.

With bitcoin.de, every user is only a participant on a market (which is bitcoin.de) with regulated money flow (via SEPA).
On Localbitcoins, every user is their own market with unregulate money flow (cash).

Small semantic difference, HUGE MOTHERFUCKING LEGAL difference.


I see. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

http://Localbitcoins.com  won't be available in Germany anymore due to regulatory reasons. We hope this is temporary. Press enquiries via email

Time to get this decentralized as well I guess..

after I talked with my sister, we figured out the way how he could do it. the link in the phising email is the link that disable the login guard and sending the pw to the address at the same time. so he can log in the website easily. so this means that we have a bug in localbitcoins security sistem that the hackers used it to attempt. so watch out guys, dont make the day like me ...turn on the 2 authentication factor and never click any link even if it is sent from localbitcoins. if u see the link that ask u for username a pw, turn it off immediately, thanks .

can you show us that link?

never click any link even if it is sent from localbitcoins.

Sadly, this is what I follow, too. I consider myself an expert but I don't feel comfortably secure in determining the source of an email fast enough to make it worth clicking on a link that came by mail rather than to hop over to the browser and open the service manually.

Stay safe out there …

localbitcoins automatically release the bitcoin in my account today in 2 trades of wu. I lost 880$ .... Feeling really terrible. Dont know what to do now.

how did that happen?
i have my account protected with 2 authentication step with the second step is the paper-based one. I stored the code in my other laptop. It breaks down a while ago. So i have to remove the 2 step after i got back the access to the account. I just got it back like 2 days ago. So i m changing and setting up my acc up to date. Yesterday there was a guy who make a purchase of 300$ btc by wu. I told him my wu closed earlier for the week. And it s stated in my contact hours. He asked abt dealing in pm. I said fine. We discussed abt reserve and everything. Just after a few mins i was away to have dinner, i came back and see his trade released. Right after that, i see another trade of 580 $ released as well, also from hi. U couldnt imagine how shock i am. It is too quick.i dont even know abt the 580 before. I just see an announcement from lbc to my email. I was so surprised, get to the website, get to released contact paged AND  see 2 trades from him released almost at the same time. Fuck my life.
The thing lbc support didnt give a damn care abt it. All they tell me is trade released, couldnt do anything. Not even a single info abt it.
A nice guy in the lbc forums that i might click a phising link. And that s true because i clicked a support link earlier. But i still dont understand. At least, i have email verification with lbc. So when the ip changes, it supposed to send verfication code to my email. And my email has 2 step protection linked to my cell. Then how can he do it.
