The bottom line for me is that I was able to deposit about $30 worth of bitcoin and convert it to and withdraw Curecoin, but it was a huge pain in the ass. Right after I sent the bitcoin the site went into "maintenance mode" for about 18 hours during which time I couldn't log in. That's one hell of a welcome for a new customer.
Then today I was finally able to log back in and do the trade, though they don't allow withdrawals until you've waited 5 minutes after you've logged in. Maddeningly stupid. My impression is that they're sort of like Yobit, which is hit or miss as far as reliability is concerned. I was convinced in those 18 hours I was waiting that they'd just scammed me outright, but I was wrong. I'm not sure if I'll be doing any more trades with them, however.
Edit:
And by the way, I did look at this thread before making a deposit with them. I figured I'd just take a chance with a small amount, but I'm glad they didn't steal that from me. I don't discount anything that OP or anyone else has said against Livecoin and this isn't to vouch for them.
