      Hey guys!

      "mcxNOW is shutting down for a period of time
      [b]Withdraw all your coins before December 20th[/b]
      mcxNOW has seen unprecedented growth in recent months and especially in the last few weeks. mcxNOW is a custom coded exchange built 100% by one man in C++ . This means if anything has to be modified then only one person can do it.
      Unfortunately the growth has been too fast to match with the support requirement as only one person can currently do all support. This is a burden of 200 to 400 emails a day among many requests on IRC and through chat. This makes development of mcxNOW nearly impossible without neglecting valid user requests through support.
      I am happy that in over 7 months mcxNOW has not been hacked or lost any coins and that the exchange has scaled well from 100 users upto a peak of about 3500 users online at once, it shows the design here is pretty good. However I never anticipated some aspects of running an exchange that are quite important (ie. support) so I need to work on this before allowing the site to grow.
      I advise everyone to withdraw their coins and use other exchanges until mcxNOW returns. I will need at least one month, and perhaps as many as 3 before I can make the site live again. If you fail to withdraw coins before December 20th then you’ll have to wait until the site is live again before withdrawing, whatever balance you hold will carry over. After December 20th passes a test version of mcxNOW will be put up that you can help test without using real coins, this will include the new gaming platform.
      All existing mcxFEE holders will have the same mcxFEE balance when the site relaunches. I’m allowing people to trade mcxFEE up until December 20th in case they want to exit them.
      I apologize for needing to do this, the stress and burden of running a successful exchange in the current way is just untenable for me now. I can barely sleep, I am getting health issues, etc. There truly is no alternative than some downtime. I apologize mainly to mcxFEE holders as they have invested in the exchange and will miss revenue in the downtime.
      mcxNOW will be back and even better than before, I truly believe we have the best trading platform and cryptocommunity platform here but I need to work on these other facets before it becomes a real problem. I will use all the knowledge I have gathered over the last 7 months to make something bulletproof and easy to maintain.
      Thank you for your support and hopefully we can see all of you back here relatively soon."²

        Is that you, or is it a quote from somebody else?

        That isn’t clear to me after reading the post…

            This is what Real Solid says on the front page of his exchange. He has made enough money out of it, now he doesn’t really care. No surprise.

              Well he said it’s coming back, with a gaming platform.

              There’s gonna be a butt-ton of people who are super pissed in 3 months though if it doesn’t come back. Frankly I’m not buying the whole “only one man can work on it” bullshit for a second. With his IPO cash, he could hire just about any C++ developer he wants.

                Am I missing something here? He’s struggling with support requests, so he’s adding a gaming platform?
                ???
                Or is that to preoccupy people while they wait for a reply? ;D

                  It’s strictly for pacification reasons so those who paid 0.4 for a FeeShare durring the recent IPO don’t turn into an angry mob with torches and pitchforks when they realize that he’s laughing at them from his new mansion in the Cayman Islands because he’s never coming back. This way there’s no legal ramifications because he’s technically stole nothing.

                    It will certainly be interesting how it all pans out, but I must admit it does seem strange. :-\
                    Maybe regulation isn’t that bad a demon after all.
