Dispenser.tf restart is officially pushed until next week, as the way escrow has been designed is somewhat more complicated than we first expected.

At first we thought there won't be trade hold if the side losing items have mobile authenticator enabled. But it turns out to be that every trades also require a manual confirmation in order to lift the item hold.

We have only fully prepared about mobile authenticator login but not the part about trade confirmation. We have already found out the technical solution, but we will need time to re-enabled all bot account's mobile authenticator (in order to obtain the secret key needed to perform this confirmation) and enable trade confirmation on all accounts. All this would mean that there will be a 7-days lock before the accounts can trade.

It is unfortunate that it is going to be taking longer than what we have estimated, but we have now plenty of time to test the escrow system which should ensure a smooth launch next week.

On the other hand, everyone of you should enable mobile authenticator as soon as possible if you have not already. It will be required if you deposit keys or purchase gifts (when you pay items) or else there will be trade hold. In order to ensure our bots work swiftly we will not trade with users that require trade hold.
