I propose that this thread keeps the thread for the shareholders and the phase before the exchange goes live.
You could start from zero (with a new thread) when the exchange is available for trader and make everything right which now is not so good.
I hope you will have someone who is available for questions every day and will make this exchange popular and successful.

Well i am happy that they removed the outdated update in the OP. I think they are just busy for the upcoming launch. I hope to get an update on Monday. I think weekly updates is good and fair for all the shareholders. Major updates should be announced in the weekly updates prior to announcement. A new thread with no discussions but just pure update would be great, both updates in the Alcurex and in the new thread.

Just an opinion to create fair and less volatile trading environment for a public company.

Excellent news, I'm available if you need any beta testers.

A public beta test would be a huge step towards transparency.
You should really re-evaluate

i still believe all beta testing should be fully public and transparent.
It will show that the exchange has nothing to hide and its operations can be scrutinised.
The crypto community believes in such actions.

I think it would be great!

Are you considering the poloniex giveaway model or something different?

All who are interest to join in betatest, just send me personal message.
I will repply when we start.
No need to be shareholder. if you are interest to test it, is enaf.

You are right, and test is public, but first with small group.
