What has happened? A lot of complains from paying users. This might kill the project. I could not back up my data.

I'm a buxfer user looking for a alternative for this service, recently the quality of the service isn't the best, i can't use Mint because my bank is not supported (i'm, living in spain) and they don't allow manual transaction management like Buxfer do. Anybody knows other service with manual transaction handling?

Running a startup is way much difficult than working for Facebook.

I'm sure it is. However that doesn't mean they don't owe their (apparently paying) users information. From what these folks are writing, nobody seems to have told them the service was going to be unsupported.

Shameless plug, I wrote something to scratch my itch:

As a bonus, it is translated into Spanish, so you should feel right at home.
