Linden Lab Risk API sucks. There is nothing we can do about it and no one knows what
can be done about it.

The problem is trust: at TheRock we have been chargedback also on deposits made by
Risk API compliant avatars, so you can understand how much we can trust does who don't.

It is all based on trust. If you want bigger deposit limits at TheRock (but I'm sure it works
the same at VirWox), you have to give us a way to trust you. The more we trust you,
the bigger is the deposit limit.

Someone offered to send RL documents, others offered to withdraw only half of the Bitcoin they
purchase, others have bought shares on TheRock stock exchange for a value that guarantees
we have something to seized in case something goes wrong with their deposits, others
have deposited USD or EUR to validate their accounts, etc. etc.

Other ideas are welcome. Thank you

It's not actually great to have a limit so low.  Wink
Sometimes I wish(ed) I could (have been able to) transfer more than 100k per week and my limit on TheRock is even lower (3k per day), which is why I rarely use it.

I never changed my payment info and as far as I remember I only added USD-funds once in my SLifetime.
My 100k limit on VirWox also didn't change in years, I guess the only way to raise it is to contact them and beg for it.

There is nothing you can do besides contacting VirWox/TheRock if you don't pass the RiskAPI,
but if you don't pass today, it doesn't mean you won't pass tomorrow.

LindenLabs doesn't really give out any information about what kind of checkings they do, or what's required to pass the API, it's all supersecret (or in other words: LindenLabs sucks!).
Every day is different, all you can do if you fail to pass is try again the next day, sad but true.

Did virwox or the rock set your limit or was it set by SL. It must be great to have that type of limit. Is it just like that because you are 6 years. Have you had the same payment info that whole time? How long do you think before second life starts letting me pass risk? is there anything i can do besides contact virwox or the rock?

Well, the rates on TheRock are of course different, because the trading-volume is different too. VirWox has a lot more traders, a lot more volume, the rates quickly catch up to MtGox-rates.
Depending on where the price goes and how fast it moves, you might catch the lucky moment to buy in or sell out at TheRock at better rates than on VirWox,
it's all about luck and timing.  Wink


And again, there's is nothing you could do to bypass the RiskAPI, only the operators can do that.
The limits they'll set on you totally depend on how much they trust you, you're new, so they obviously don't trust you a lot.

I made a therock account inworld and made a support ticket and it seemed as if they were not willing to give me an exception. What i am really wondering is what the path to be able to bypass riskapi fully and what limits can i have a long the way.

Fix your CapsLock.  Cool


45+ days isn't exactly a lot, my avatar is 6years old and I too have a weekly limit (your talking about VirWox I guess).
100 lindens seems superlow though and it really doesn't make any sense in terms of tradebility to transfer an amount that low,
my limit is 100k per week (could probably be raised if I contact them and ask nicely).


Anyway, the only ones able to bypass the RiskAPI are the operators of VirWox, there's nothing you could do about that.


You might wanna try TheRock as an alternative to VirWox, they use the RiskAPI too of course, but it's easier to contact them (inworld by just sending an IM to Paci Barbarossa, or on this forum by sending a PM to eliale) and ask for a limit-change and besides that, TheRock has lower fees on trades than VirWox and you can trade amounts lower than 1BTC too.
