WEX.nz reappeared from the ashes, and seems now fully functional. I'm impressed.
It all seems to be the other similar structure, only with another domain name.
Any change you can quickly adjust the previous API and re-enable it again? (We would need to create new keys, though - the other keys could have been compromised, they said.)
I'm am a bit lost by your message here?
Can you send a request to
[email protected]BTW It's nearly 1am here so I am hitting the hay after a very long day. Will be back at it tomorrow.
Take care,

Check the website, you will understand if you haven't closely followed the news.
Trading of coins has restarted, and so has the trading of tokens, at: https://wex.nz/tokens
Currently, the prices are quite higher than elsewhere as, I believe, a good number of people are buying coins with the cash they have in order to withdraw.
I get you now!
Will look into it, but not sure how much work is involved yet.
Best wishes,
Jonathan
Edit To be honest, I am not sure how much value this brings. We have been burned so many times by sites that disappeared. I will not lightly divert resources to Wex unless I'm sure that it has a future. Right now, that is very much up for question. We'll keep monitoring the situation.
I understand you on that, indeed. That being said, my impression, by the fact that the site looks very similar (if not almost identical?) to the previous one is that they simply took the entire engine, and placed it on another domain name. I hadn't looked at the API details, but I would be very surprised if they would have changed anything. (Anyhow, re-creating an entire engine in just a few weeks, to launch on time, with all the high stakes (security and etc.) involved, would be very difficult, and the easiest path is indeed to just keep everything as it was.).
So I am under the impression that you would probably only need to change the domain name in the API calls, and that could be it.
That is the reason I was suggesting to add it: The work/result ratio is excellent - little development work to do, and a big result (another exchange added). Much better than adding another unrelated exchange.
I wouldn't have suggested it if it would have been to integrate from scratch with an entirely new API.
And regarding the reliability of this site, and the long-term prospects for it, I have to say that I consider this site to be among the most reliable of all exchanges. If I would have to bet, I would bet that Poloniex or some other major exchange would disappear much before WEX does.
Bitfinex came back from giving a 35%(?) haircut to all its customers - and still hasn't explained in any satisfactory way what exactly happened ("Investigation pending", despite more than a year having passed.) - and Bitfinex is thriving again.
No one knows for sure what will happen in the future, but I wouldn't be surprised if they regain an important market share. The Chinese exchanges closing at the end of the month also strongly support that possibility.
They are there since forever, they got hacked once way back in 2012, I think, made everyone whole again (no customer lost funds), they were put down recently, and instead of running away with a few hundred million dollars worth of customer's coins and funds, they choose to re-open despite all risks involved, and even did do within their announced time-frame. Wow, just wow - I'm impressed...
We couldn't said the same thing of Cryptsy or many other exchanges, can't we?
