EIC Down and Staff on Holiday

Just an informational post to the community regarding EIC. The market is down and admins have been not present for the holidays. We are aware of at least one community member who has had an issue that isn't being resolved.

We aren't declaring anything at this point. But if you have outstanding issues with EIC (aside from it being down) please post here. Any EIC staff members please reply here for proof of life.

EDIT:

Comment/reply from SpinningMass-EIC - An EIC mod:

Before I begin, I would like to state that these opinions are my own and that I am only an unpaid moderator on East India Company, and I am speaking to the best of my knowledge.

Before the administrator abscence there was a posting in the chat room saying that the staff would be going on a break. It was not detailed to how long they would be gone, and there was no permenant post anywhere else saying this. Me and the other moderators were not told how long they would be gone for and we have no other way of communicating with them other than the market, and now that it is down we really can not to anything to see what is going on.

As far as myself is aware there were no problems with withdrawls, but I could be wrong. There were some buyers posting about issues with deposits.

/u/Satoshi- is one of them and has posted a thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/3yuuyi /east_india_company_adminssupport_awol_for_over_a/ that has not been fixed.

/u/DunGoofedonEIC is another one of them and posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/3yjd11/eic_timed_out_and_my_coins_are_gone_help/.

/u/abrakazan is another one of them and posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/3y47es/eic_ordering_issue/.

/u/c9twy had an issue that was resolved 11 days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/3xbirk/problem_with_eic_multisig_refund/

/u/Pelican_Vendor is the only vendor that I know that is on reddit so he might be able to say if he could withdrawl Bitcoin before the market went down.

I wish I could give answers but sadly this is the best I can do.

All LordXanaxUSA orders have been shipped. Hoping the site comes back up


[3 Points] dabsome:

/u/MR_TAFFY Were you able to ship your orders?


[3 Points] The_Literal_Grinch:

Up and down the markets go.

Topsy turvey is built into the market to bitcoin flow.

EIC is the next to go.

If it returns we just won't know.

So we post, scowl and debate.

Which fucking damn market will be adequate.

"I just want my drugs" we will all say.

It's so much easier than out on the streets and into the fray.

I'm getting too damn old for all of this shit.

The markets seem to scam faster than a messerschmitt.

I can confirm Reximusmaximus was able to withdrawl over 40btc on Thursday after the sale. But also notes some customers had issues with deposits. EIC and Rex communicate frequently and knows they move coin instantly into cold storage and use a hot wallet to avoid hacks stealing coins. Rex trusts Eic as much as you can these days and thinks they will return. But if they do not return by monday will consider them compromised or exit. If this happens an announcement will be made to redditt as to where the new home market will be.

down.Hey Spinning how are you doing bud?

Sorry for the late responce I am kn holiday checking in when I can. As we all know EIC withdrawls are done on a 15 min cron job. i had a withdrawl fail and a fairly decent sized one. I logged back on got the message it failed and re did the withdrawl (fails a withdrawl ever 10 or so so im use to it) after i did my wothdrawl the site went offline....

I got my coins though :)

so i wpuldnt call it an exit scam yet as they still paid me my money even after it went dark. Only time will tell but i have my hopes.

feel free to ask questions folks i have been on eic daily and actively more than probably their chat support and support staff haha.

sorry for grammar using a mobile and remoting in


[2 Points] crondom90:

I'm convinced eic will be back and will fix everything but i didn't like this, i understand they have real lives but they can't leave a market without admins for days...


[1 Points] throwawayfordmn9871:

For whatever its worth i depsoited a decentish amount of coin on there yesterday during the day and withdrew a bit of change on a order with overmind. Got coin there and back pretty fast. Got on today to check status to find out this news! oh well fingers crossed for good news.. Now I can semi feel what these vendors feel like after losing a couple k. I dont see how people can trust markets anymore especially now that customer service is pretty bad on some which is the whole point of a market. For safety of all our money, i might as well roll the dice on a dd than wait weeks or months for a market admin to help me out with a scammer.


[1 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

EastIndiaCo "can't possibly exit scam....blah blah....multisig is the answer etc"

How can EIC have customer and vendor wallets if it's a true multisig escrow marketplace? If it did, vendors would need to be logged in to access their takings. EastIndia could just wait for the escrow to be released to the vendor's wallet THEN steal it.


[1 Points] Vendor-Bubblehash:

I had 2 orders on wed that I was able to get the coins from and mailed out . It was only like 2 btc. I withdrew mid-day PST on wednesday. It was centralized FE orders.


[1 Points] JimCramerr11:

I tried to place a order last night around 130am or 2am last night and when I clicked order it just kept loading for a good 2 or 3 minutes and then I got the "website is down error message", So I closed tor and went to bed, I seen this post this morning, If anyone was able to log on around that time last night let me know this was eastern time so for west coast 11 or so as that would disprove a DDoS attack, Hopefully its just a DDoS attack tho. Fingers crossed as I had money there, Like I am sure majority or you did. When markets exit scam, its the ripple effect of vendors going wild and exit scamming customers to recoup losses. Its now becomes "fun" for everyone.


[1 Points] BarbarossaDNM:

EIC support has replied to my support tickets in a few hours in the past, but the last ticket I filed 5 days ago has yet to be answered. There's that.


[1 Points] throwawayfordmn9871:

[1 Points] UKFruits1:

I have a question regarding the Escrow. Will my vendor get his money? I payed in escrow, 2 days later the staff apparently goes on a "vacation". Now what? Is my money lost and his shipment also lost due to not getting paid? This is incredibly unprofessional.


[0 Points] glul:

I had just submitted an order with /u/humboldtfarmss yesterday. not sure if they even got to accept it. here goes 130 bucks.
