Thinking about opening a scam accusation on them.
CCEX is overworked. Do you see the massive amount of shit they’ve got for trade. It can’t be easy keeping all of it up-to-date and semi-working.
I suspect they wanted an easy-to-integrate vanilla NXT clone from HEAT. When they didn’t get that, they looked for any reason they could to get out since they don’t have the staff to integrate anything new. Customers and partners be damned!
Hell, I think they might actually lack the competent staff to apply a multiplier to customer database fields. Shoestring operation, for sure. I’m not going anywhere near that trash exchange ever again.
I think it was a contract agreement to provide a basic nxt api with heat. I would love to hear the ccex version of all this as there are always at least two sides of the story. In my opinion what ccex did is a dickmove. But the heat team made a lot of dickmoves too... So can you really honestly say that ccex is alone to blame for this?
No, C-CEX is not alone to blame. There is enough of that to go around. Certainly the HEAT project delays bear some, too.
But C-CEX didn't act in good faith. First, they issue an ultimatum in form of deadline. Then they remain unresponsive until the final moments leading up to that deadline. When they finally do respond, the HEAT team whipped out compatible API changes in 15 minutes. Yet that is not good enough.
I stand by my assessment above. I don't think they have the staff to integrate anything new or apply custom operations to their inhouse database.
We will never know the full extent of the contracts or discussions. From the outside looking in, C-CEX looks pretty bad here. Too many customers totally screwed.
