I agree with you people need to make informed decision.
I think my assumption the trading volume will increase is not void of sense. Because right now, mcxNOW is "stealing" marketshare of the other exchange and there is plenty of room left, especially with Litecoin.
Why it's stealing marketshare? Two reason :
-Interest on deposit : that's basically free money to attract people on the exchange, and it's working nicely.
- But more importantly, and you're gonna say it's subjective, but the quality of the site is miles better than any other exchange. You have to try it and try the competitor. It's night and day. It's faster, smoother, very pleasing to trade.
The interest attract users, and the quality make them stay. RealSolid said the interest on Deposit is a temporary feature, he could scrap it any moment. I don't think he will do it soon but even if he does, i don't think people would leave because the exchange is good in itself.
My opinions are pretty informed. I even made a GoogleDoc on the mcxFEE to calculate return :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AioqMMSVIC5tdFplWndsdmZuaGxyN01xemxtNWYxVGc#gid=0And if you want some real data on the growth of the exchange just look at this graph :
From 1,000 to 10,000 Bitcoin deposited on the exchange in a month.
After that, you can see the total lowering, it's because of the BTC price rise. That's one of the CON point of an exchange like mcxNOW, who doesn't trade FIAT. When BTC is in a big ascendant phase, there is a lot less volume in Altcoin trading. But generally the volume come back stronger when the BTC price stabilize and Altcoin are at a low point.

RealSolid is Australian and he made sure everything he was doing was legal.
That's why you can't buy share of the exhange, but share in the trading revenue. The first would be illegal.
That's why you'll never see Fiat on mcxNOW, because it would bring regulation. And he think too much Regulation kill Innovation.
With Fiat, the interest on deposit feature would have been impossible.
