Bitcoin thresholds rising again

The bitcoin payout thresholds will be rising again. The free payout threshold will rise from $500 to $1000 tomorrow, while the minimum transaction amount will rise to $30. The maximum payout threshold will remain at $1000, because this is a dangerous amount of money for us to be holding.

We expect to increase the free threshold to $2500 before the end of the year, and the minimum payout amount to $100.

We strongly recommend that all customers switch to alternative networks for payment. Litecoin transactions, for example, cost 400 times less than bitcoin transactions and litecoins can be sold for bitcoins at most exchanges.

Can you clarify 'We strongly recommend that all customers switch to alternative networks for payment.'

Are you suggesting to mine BTC at an alternative site, or alternative payment method?
Thank you

No. Because of money transmission regulations, we can't exchange coins upon user request. Balances must be paid in the coin in which they were earned.

We would personally love to do this, but we can't.

Just switch to litecoins, the default payment method. If you want bitcoins, I suggest entering an exchange wallet as your payout address, and purchasing the bitcoins at an exchange.

Whoa, you said they were changing *tomorrow*. I just got told by a friend (who is hustling his machines to earn the $500 free transaction limit on BTC) that it just got doubled with the website reboot???...
