Hello, Community!
I was moderator in EtherDelta community chat and helped users and investors with their problems on utilizing the exchange (for those, who are not in chat - I am not and never was a member of EDT team). As soon as our team is also EDT investor, we feel your pain as our own. In current state of nature, we understand that EtherDelta is a road to nowhere, that's why we have decided to re-launch the brand new exchange based on the open source code of ED - Ethernext with a consequent airdrop of new tokens to deceived EDT holders. We are currently working on all of the required issues to launch the exchange as soon as possible. Let us explain some information in detail.
EtherDelta currently belongs to Jun (the guy that you have all seen on EtherDelta Twitter page and in chat), meaning all transactions made via ED now are paid to the guy, who scammed the ICO participants, which is insane. We believe we should stop it and promote all new and old users NOT to use EtherDelta/ForkDelta (as it is based on the same smart contract), as all the fees go to the scammer.
As it occurs, EtherDelta is not going to proceed with any further development. The product, which the old team is now working on, has not much in common with the original one. Therefore, there is NO hope for EDT/EtherDelta as a distinct and self-sufficient project.
We have decided to make an airdrop for all EDT holders, except previous team members-scammers, and decided to launch the new exchange - Ethernext (originally based on EtherDelta code). Currently, it is in the final stage of development and is ready to start in consequent days. We have already made some minor changes to new Ethernext smart contract in order to help gas consumption and updated it for new Solidity. You can research new contract through our official website - Ethernext.io.
Why do we make an airdrop? We do NOT want to raise any money, as the Community was already deceived, so there is no point in additional financing.
We promise you that 50% of all profits received by our exchange will be used to buyback our airdropped token and burn it. We believe that with the help of Community, we will be able to build a valuable and efficient product and make Ethernext one of the leading decentralised exchange, as ED was a short time ago. We are able and desire to spend 24/7 on our exchange development/Community relations and will be always available in our chat to help users with problems/answer questions/provide guidance and hear your further development advices.
Why do we promote this? We have altogether lost our funds in this ICO and the beneficiary still gets money without fulfilling his own roadmap promises including buyback and burn. We have faced all the fail of the EDT team and no longer can agree the case when users help the scammers in further stealing their own money. The same stays for ForkDelta - you support the scammer and pay commission to the same account.
It is a big opportunity for us, and we will do our best to expand and develop exchange and involve users into management of Ethernext using our airdropped coins. Airdrop will happen as soon as we make the snapshot (probably the first weeks of June). Our team will hold 50% of the airdropped tokens in order to have an ability for further development.
