Thanks, much appreciated!
Thanks to everyone for the kind words. We of course still have the code and can watch what goes on in the exchange world. Right now its just too hard to compete with some other higher volume exchanges that add coins we have as soon as they see any volume/movement on them. CryptoALTeX was two people, i did all of the base code and when I realized I needed help I brought matugm on board and he really knocked out some great code, the problem is I have a full time job and two daughters, one of which is only a month old. I found it really hard to keep up with everything maintenance wise on the exchange and that left matugm to do almost all of the coding. Since we didn't have that much volume matugm had to find other work as his lively hood depends on freelance work. This led to him having to take on other things.
We had a 3rd person on board that was paid to do our new front end interface but they had a bunch of real life stuff hit and wasn't able to focus on the project, we figured the new front end would be 5 days of hard coding, after 35 days we realized it may not happen unless we do it ourselves and since we were already stretched thing we thought it best to shutdown to avoid the eventual inevitable of being overwhelmed and causing issues for our customers.
