Good point. We try to avoid directly saying anything about other exchanges. We are happy with what we are offering, and its fine that others offer what they think the market wants. I'm sure there are some niches we aren't filling, and that is ok. I think Bitfinex has come a long way, and that system was probably invaluable to us getting where we are today. We outgrew it, and it is unfortunate that other people are having some issues. I honestly want bitcoin to succeed, and I am really tired of the constant hacking, etc. I don't wish that on anybody, and I think it harms the ecosystem in the short term, and the reputation of bitcoin in general. So, we are not all rejoicing at the news that some people have issues, and really didn't want to draw attention to that. I, personally, really like a good competition, but I don't think anyone should root for the opposing team's quarterback to get paralyzed...

Anyway, we weren't affected at all, we haven't had much interaction directly in quite a while, and we hope that things work out.
