Rest assured that when this thing launches there will be a real registered company behind it with datacenter presence in at least 3 countries. I've watched realsolid's clown show long enough and it's time somebody put something together that reasonable people can trust.
BTW, once we get the web version of the exchange up and running, we're planning to bring in some really interesting features. For example, I've been talking to a company, for the better part of 6 months, that has produced a forex trading application and they seem willing to convert it over to handle virtual currencies. At this point, they are holding for the completed API. It has full support for bank grade charts w/technical indicators and comes with an integrated automated strategy trading system. This isn't some metatrader4 bullshit either. Much more modern.
Excellent news. Hope it works out.
One question. How do you know your hosting provider won't steal coins off your server? They will have full root access to any of your machines.
