ok. I'll be the fly in the ointment here.
I actually think Mintpal is a good bit better than I was expecting. It feels very fast for a start - don't know if that's just because the traffic's low or it actually is running a faster site.
The only real visual problems are
- the UI has a bit too much contrast and can do with calming down a bit
- you can't see all your holdings all at once like the old site. That was quite a nice feature I thought having all your holdings stacked up in 1 little column
The login problems people are complaining about I think are just due to you needing to reset you password. Click the little "I forgot my password" link, you'll get an instant email and you'll be up and running in 1 minute.
Cosmetic stuff can be sorted easily. The real question is what changes have been made to the trading engine. e.g. what new features it has and how responsive it is in a market panic. Those things are a million times harder to design, develop and produce than a nice paint job, so lets wait and see how it turns out. Give the guys a chance - I'm sure they've been sweating buckets the last few days and are desperately trying to deliver something that their customers will like so I think we should hold off from giving them such a kicking for now and see how the new site works.
Looks like people's balances are safe - ok we might need to wait a while to get them moving but it's far from being a "Gox" situation.
Here's the thing, we as cry
it strange isn't it? Replacing a mature site with this....would be a great pretext for a 'hack' to come in now and take all the coins. Sorry, but something just doesn't add up - for example 8,000 people still can't login and they aren't responding to anything on it.
It's not strange to me.
You're judging it by the skin plus it's got teething troubles - so what's new ? They'll get smoothed out in a few days. If you think Microsoft can do any better with their v1.0 releases then you don't know the software industry
The upgrade was about trading engines not beauty. It still needs a 'proper' skin and they've already acknowledged that this is a makeshift one as they had to regress the v2 production skin for some reason - I don't know what.
b.t.w. I've got no private interest in Moolah/Mintpal, I just know software development. Wait till the end of the month and then let rip if you still think it's a mess.

Here's the thing, we as crypto enthusiasts are already worried about forks, double spend attacks, time warp exploits, etc. So to completely screw the pooch like this with these kinds of peoples money is game over.
