I made an "unofficial" Leancy skype room for Bitcoin members. Join there to discuss, vent, rant, or voice your opinions about the issue at hand with Leancy or anything Bitcoin-related. This thread is becoming too cluttered with the same topic over and over again. As of this point, there really isn't a point to be going back and forth on the same subject.
My Skype username is leanybtc. Please make a request to add me to your contact list so I can add you to the chat room. Make sure when requesting you mention you're from btctalk as I get add request from random people on Skype.
Much obliged.

Agree. Avoid.
After asking nicely in the skype room I was unbanned. But I find the way they've treated their 'investors' to be a little unprofessional.
once the site comes back up, I'll keep making my withdrawals as soon as the balance reaches the minimum amount and hope I at least get my principal back.

Don't you mean "If" ?
Honestly though I think the site will come back. If they were intent on shuttering now there's no reason to even answer these questions or try to hush naysayers.
And if you don't believe that - I think you can at least agree there is no reason to leave over 40 BTC in their payout wallet.
That's the barometer I'm checking. If that wallet suddenly goes dry - then I think we can begin to mourn our coins.
What's odd about that is that earlier today the 45 BTC they had in that account was sent to their cold storage, bringing it up to 1050, but about an hour later it was back with no existence of the transaction itself on either wallet as if it never occurred. I and a few others had witnessed this, which quite honestly baffled us.
Any clue as to why this is?

So - I feel like everyone should know this:
I was following the discussion on the Leancy facebook group - contributing constructively and making no claims or speculation. The apparent admin "Leiven VanNeste" began to basically scold users for making "wild speculations" on the page. I agreed that wild speculations were not fruitful but suggested he not act with such a scornful attitude toward customers.
I was summarily banned from the group.
I logged in using a different facebook account and found that most of the comments from the previous 30 minutes had been deleted.
I did some digging and the name of the VanNeste guy has been associated with several other of these kind of investment programs all of which went belly up and lost people a lot of money.
I really, really don't see this ending well. Maybe I am wrong. We'll see.

Scammed by the hosting provider KODDOS ?
It's not SERIOUS.

I've spoken with one of the support guys from Leancy. I've tried asking all relevant issues pertaining to the Bitcoin community. As far as we know, Leancy started having problems earlier today with their datacenter provider and/or DDOS service provider. Leancy claims their previous DDOS service (Koddos) altered their payment systems while trying to bring the service back online. As for the reason why, we do not know if it was done deliberately or due to a mistake/external factors.
Right now, I think we all owe it to ourselves to remain calm and restrain from FUD because it's not going to help anyone. May I remind everyone that we all knew what we were getting ourselves into (incl. me) and the risk entailed with the nature of a program like this and I understand everyone's concern but I truly doubt this is the end of Leancy. I am NOT trying to spread panic and I understand everyone's concern. Right now, we have to give Leancy the benefit of the doubt as it seems they are really going through technical difficulties that are hindering the site's performance.
Furthermore, I have included the conversation that I had with them below.
TL:DNR: If you have not made a deposit or withdrawal since 11AM EST (4PM UTC), your transactions has been properly saved and stored on their server. I recommend everyone to NOT make any transactions with Leancy for the time being as it may pose a risk to your transaction not being processed correctly until their services resumes and is 100% operational. In other words, if you withdraw now (during the ongoing service issues) your transaction will not be recorded. I do not know for certain what will happen if someone withdraws, if anyone has done so, please share with the rest of us so we have more information on how to better handle this matter to the best of our abilities.
Edit - I do see some withdrawals being confirmed but I think these are old transactions before the issues started.

[1:15:27 PM] ■ Leancy BTC: Any information and/or updates you can provide me on Bitcoin withdrawals and server status? I have a lot of people on the Bitcoin forum waiting for me to provide them any information pertaining to the service disruptions.
[1:15:47 PM] Leancy Ltd: Don't panic, your money is safe!
We was scammed by the hosting provider KODDOS (http://www.koddos.com/)
As most of you knows we have some technical issues earlier today. In order to solve them we have provided the server's access credentials (root password) to the KODDOS support. Right after that our IDS (Intrusion Detection System) has detected the changes in the database. The payment systems accounts has been changed and we still have no access to the server, the KODDOS support is keeping silence.
We have backups and all invested funds are secured and safe. We need to change the server, it will take 2-3 business days. We will stop the accruals during these days, so when we will back online you will see the same available to withdraw amount you have right now.
We will post the same message on the LEANCY's website soon. Since we have no access to the server right now we need to change the leancy.com name servers first, it will take about 24 hours.

[1:20:04 PM] Leancy Ltd: Of course. 2-3 days

[1:23:00 PM] Leancy Ltd: All backups accourding today 4 pm UTC

[1:24:07 PM] ■ Leancy BTC: Thank you, I will relay that info to the forums.

Not sure about you .. but this makes me feel soooooo much better.. whew! ... lol
March 04, 2014, 11:50:16 AM
So there a lot happening here..! will anyone take few mins to explain what exactly happening ..? or wait i'll go though the posts ..
Leancy's datacenter had technical issues, site wasn't loading properly. People on btctalk (as always) preaching FUD at the opportunity to do so. I was trying to tell people to be patient. Site came back online, FUD over. (at least for the time being until another issue pops up - then it's back to FUD all over again)Sure it'll be back shortly.
March 04, 2014, 11:48:28 AM
My withdrawal I made 4 hours ago is still waiting...
Has someone else issues with withdrawals ?
I'm still waiting for a BTC withdrawal since yesterday night (over 8 hours and counting). It seems the BTC were sent from Leancy's wallet but just waiting on blockchain's confirmation. Does anyone know if blockchain is experiencing any issues? The connected nodes are online, is the network just slow on confirmations?Has someone else issues with withdrawals ?
March 04, 2014, 11:40:28 AM
You should contact the admin, just in case.
EDIt:
BLOCKCHAIN.INFO DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANY NODE
Looks like blockchain API not working fine now. We'll send all the transactions, but all of them will be unconfirmed until blockchain issue will be fixed. Please be patient.
UPDATE: All pending withdrawals are processed. Transactions gains confirmations. Situation is getting back to normal.

They just completely emptied their wallet they send payments from: https://blockchain.info/address/145SmDToAhtfcBQhNxfeM8hnS6CBeiRukY.
Sending it to their "storage" wallet: https://blockchain.info/address/1LdcfMrWwoB2VAWV7mqMsM3fhTwqiyMZCQ.
Not looking too promising at the moment.
Quite a few people are worried.
