It's a great shame that the United States government shut down Liberty Reserve, but it should come as no surprise given what they did to e-gold and the fact that Costa Rica has very close ties to the US government.  After I lost a lot of gold held by US-based e-gold when they were seized by US authorities six years ago, I spent some time looking for alternatives which were based in jurisdictions without close ties to the United States, with no history of caving in to demands by the US or other G7 countries, and with a decent rule of law.  C-gold based in Malaysia quickly rose to the top of my list.  I traveled to Malaysia and met the operator of C-gold before starting a relationship with them and he seemed competent and experienced at running businesses, so my decision was easy.  I have enjoyed a problem-free relationship with them since 2007.  Pecunix is another popular digital gold currency I evaluated, but they are based in Panama which like Costa Rica is subject to undue influence by the United States so I would be uncomfortable keeping significant holdings with them.

Disclaimer:  I am a satisfied customer of c-gold, and a former (also satisfied) customer of Pecunix.  I'm also currently selling a portion of my c-gold holdings to buy bitcoins in another thread, so make of that what you will.

a guy on talkgold was even going to do suicide due to loss.

http://www.talkgold.com/forum/r391540-.html

I'm surprised the talkgold forum hasn't embraced Bitcoin more.

Actually it's a forex/HYIP investment based forum,so libertyreserve and other stable currencies are much popular between them.

I was wondering how long it takes US authorities to shut down LR.
What the hell were they doing the last 10 years? After the E-Gold shutdown, almost every fraudster used LR. They never cared about AML and gave a home to the global cyber crime (also child pornography/weapons) scene.
Instead of wasting resources on busting kids with weed and trying to jail Kim Dotcom, the US authorities should rather allocate more resources on real crime crime.

Those guys were heros.

We don't need it and make online currencies like bitcoin look bad anyway.

Yeah! Bitcoin can never be used by scammers, drug dealers or child pronographers!

But I just had transfered $26 in it before it went down now what can I do I am new to crypto I have invested in a pc so that I can start mining but now I lost my money. I wish they return all the money back before permenant shutdown

You could always try to sue the feds... You will probably never see the money again. Govts loves to seize money and hold it up indefinately. In a perfect world, the operation would be dissolved and all account holders that are not investigated for something would've gotten their money back, but that's not how it works when the biggest bully in the schoolyard gets his way.

I really need my money back I don't know what to do now. If I had the power I would have killed that government that are not thinking of people loosing there money

I just sent you a little something to help out. But let's not kill anyone please. Smiley

Where is that thing to help me? And seriously those people don't deserve to live which harm others without reason.


They think they're doing the right thing, and I don't think killing them with solve problem. Check your bitcoin wallet my friend.

OMG you sent me bitcoin without asking. You also lost money my friend That address is old and not in use right now. We both are on the same path now.
Well thanks for your help anyways. there are really low number of people like you present on earth which like to help other. I wish that God gives you a happy life.

yohooo I got that tip you sent me thanks for that. I just set my old PC back and I got the wallet in that so no worries now. Thanks again.

you should edit your signature, then.

It's pretty common to send tips to public addresses, and it would be a shame to have people waste their tip (and you not getting them) because you kept an outdated address in the signature... -.-


OK I am going to do that right now I am also feeling sad about his tip. It's my mistake that he lost his money for no reason. I will try to get that address back so that I can use that tip. But seems impossible. I am having a pity on myself right now. Shame on me.
