On LocalCryptos' 5th birthday, we're announcing the tough decision to begin to wind down the marketplace. This will be a gradual process taking place over the next couple of months โ LocalCryptos still remains operational. Read our full announcement: https://t.co/MwP0btPH3V
Here's a cool stat: 100% of people who've bought crypto on LocalCryptos have actually used cryptocurrency. 100% have made at least one on-chain transaction. 100% of LocalCryptos users own their own keys in a self-custodial wallet.
On the other hand, when you buy crypto on a centralized exchange, there's no real transfer of cryptocurrency. Buying a number in someone else's database has nothing to do with the blockchain. It's all IOUs, hardly any different to legacy fiat systems.
In the meantime, if you have deposited recently to your wallet and / or need to spend your funds, you can export your private keys to an external wallet (provided you had downloaded a backup of your wallet).
โ ๏ธATTENTION:
There's an issue with the platform in which balances and transaction are not updating. The team is already aware of the issue and it's working on it. We apologize for the inconveniences. Current ETA is unknown โ will update soon.
@what_the_func They should be working again now (except for some continuing intermittent issues with our Bitcoin indexer which should be resolved within 15 minutes).
