I still don't understand why they didn't stick with original formula? Add coins in the top 20 of Bittrex. That should be a winning formula. Add disclaimers to coins user knows the risk if the dev is a scammer for 2 months.
1. Obviously the database structures are not compatible. So you'd need to keep 2 different databases at sync in real time - with serious money involved the slightest bug/error could cause horrible problems.
No idea WHY they could not use the original structure anymore, so far i don't see any reason/improvement that would require a redesign.
The current GUI is a horrible mess IMO, not even the LTC markets are shown properly, not to speak of live updates of the markets...
2. IIRC they wanted to get back to serious coins only. All the Trex shitcoin lottery with 90% of the top 20 falling out the next week due to "pump over/scam/whatever" is what people are fed up with, i think.
Still some BC traders on there, even with most volume being fake. Many other coins have no activity at all until this moment.
