Okay guys, many of you know I've been a big supporter of Mintpal, even back in the day before they had risen to #1 exchange status (and then lost it again). Haven't been trading there a lot lately (after the hack), but in regards to UI and UX is was still my favourite exchange. Now we all know the long story of this whole V2 launch and it looks like the site finally went live. And I got to say the wait was worth it. Not.
Yep, they managed to kill all the good stuff about the site. The new UI is passable at best, they just purchased a template for 20 bucks and pretty much left it at that (no joke, they really did that). Half the features of V1 seem to be missing. This was a joke before due to the delays, but the actual site is the real disappointment. Maybe they now have the best and most secure backend in the crypto world, but unless they really step up their frontend work fast nobody is going to care.
Sigh...
I just saw it, too. Not very impressive, but clean and minimal. They said in a tweet that they would come back and clean it up. I don't think they're finished yet.
You sir are quite the gentleman.
I hope they can fix this, but looking at the new site they simply should not have launched (most previous features gone, unusable main menu, horrible balance sheet, broken 2FA, and BTC/BTC LTC/LTC pairings, I mean really? - and this is just the tip of the iceberg). V1 mostly suffered from a lack of trust in security (wether percieved or real doesn't even matter). They could have rewritten the trade engine and devised a new storage strategy and most people would have been happy. Now they've got even more damage to repair.
But enough of that, sorry for taking the discussion away from Unobtanium. These are certainly interesting times.
I have no clue wether this is a pump or not. The new volume is not all coming from within this community though. Could just be new investors who don't care to make themselves known here. Supply is so low that anybody interested in a good position in UNO would inevitably raise the price. If it is a pump then I'm missing a key component: hype. No noise and hype means no one to sell to. So if it is a pump its probably still in its early stages. I like to think of this as a long overdue correction. UNO was oversold and undervalued.
