Any idea how long the wallet on c-cex is hung in maintenance? Been a couple days now.
The wallet at C-Cex will be hung at maintenance until after block 7000. It's been discussed here for a while, in short you don't want a lot of trading to be occurring when you conceivable could have some major glitches pop up in the system. Block 7000 is the final alteration of the algo, removing all the X11 crypto and making it stand alone on it's Proof Of Bible Hash (PoBH) crypto. If there are errors, there are more ways to fix it if trading is effectively frozen (for instance, if a major bug turned up and I got 5M BBP as a block reward, I cannot easily sell it and capitalize off of the glitch). The exchange will unfreeze when the all clear sounds, which there is no specific time but I'd be very surprised if it's frozen past block 8000 (and that's a very pessimistic value).
Well, like West said basically, but there is an additional detail.
When we have a mandatory with a seamless block cutover to a fully tested feature over 10 days in advance, we expect things to go perfectly after block 7000. The rule is that we ask our exchanges to take the wallet offline for maintenance as soon as the new version is Available. In this case, the exchanges are permitted to upgrade immediately and bring the wallet back online immediately. Ill follow up with them by Wednesday and ask them to take it out of maintenance.
The contrast is if we do not give them sufficient time, we simply ask them to immediately take down the wallet and then ask to upgrade after the block passes (not required in this case).
The important thing is that the exchange is Running the newest version of the mandatory Before enabling deposits.
(Thats because we never want an exchange on a FORK).
As far as if you created a deposit address before, it doesnt matter.
On a side note, trading is not halted, only deposits-withdraws. I have multiple currencies for example so I keep trading when the wallet is down for maintenance.
