Title: LR
Post by: lvlbrained on July 05, 2011, 07:35 pm
just wondering what the disadvantages are for using LR over bitcoins? they seem to be far more reliable and you dont need id's or anything to open a LR account. i havent really looked into them. is there something bad about them i dont know about?

For one, you can't log in over Tor.  They block all known tor IP's, so unless you are exceedingly lucky and happen to hit a very new relay, you can't get in to your account.

I'm looking into it myself, more for pricing consistency purposes.  BTC have dropped off 20% since since a bunch of my orders were in and they just cleared escrow at a pretty stiff discount.  That margin of mine, it's gone! Hazard of the trade, though.
