This is because of surge in btc and eth price recently
I still don't get it. If BTC had seen huge losses recently I could understand the BTC/XLC ratio going from the advertised 1 BTC/3333XLC to 1 BTC/2500XLC but it doesn't make sense the other way around. It still says:
Conversion rates
1 BTC : 3,333.33333333 XLC
1 ETH : 280.55733333 XLC
...right on their site. I only got 2500/1BTC. I guess it could make sense if there is some unfathomable (to me anyway) formula being used that links the price of BTC to the number of Leviarcoins being issued, like a 25% increase in BTC price results in 25% fewer Leviarcoins being released.
