As a bookend to this thread:
However, due to private reasons I decided to close Bitmit. It it too much stress for me because it is a huge responsibility to keep such a site running and growing user funds safe. The site will stay online for some more weeks to guarantee that all current orders can be completed.
and then:
I planned this already some time ago and when I am going to "close"->sell Bitmit to somebody who can run it more seriously it would be a benefit for all of us I think.
Selling it on a Bitmit auction is a quite good idea I consider.
[Edit: And a related thread:
[warning] bitmit.net was sold secret without telling the community. -
