UPDATE - Aprli 29th (by Alberto - Founder and Lead Developer)
Staisybit is back online!
I've just released the new Dashboard, even if still as beta. Beta means that not all functionalities are working, but the main features are up and running correctly.
Deposits and Withdrawals fees have been set to 0%.
What is up and running?
Wallets are back to staking since last week (all minted coins have been correctly credited to users' accounts). With the new dashboard you can manage your coins, create new addresses, create new wallets and obviously deposit and withdraw your coins,
What is missing?
- Two Factor Authentication has been temporarily disabled for all users because I'm currently working on its implementation into the new web app. Your Authy accounts haven't been deleted, so once 2FA will be added you will just have to enable it in "Settings" page with no further actions.
- TX ids of the minted coins have still to be migrated from the old database, so I have disabled their view at all. This is the first update we'll be releasing in next days. If you really want to see what is happening to your coins, I would remember to all that ALL Staisybit addresses are public, so you can check Staisybit's wallets balance and transactions (even how much it's staking) whenever you want in coins' block explorers.
- Statistics too have to be migrated from old database so we have disabled them.
Brief explanation about the downtime, Staisybit ownership and team, plans and timing
First of all, I would apologize to all users for the downtime and let you know that I understand everything you feel: fear, doubts and uncertainty (FUD).
Now let me explain though:
Staisybit was born around 6 months ago from my minds and fingers and from Steve (Metamorphin) and Mathias (Szenekonzept) pockets. We started well, but we have soon realized that the whole structure (team, servers, database design, frontend) wasn't written well enough (e.g. scalable enough) to host the great potential that Staisybit showed to us. So, around January 2016, all our efforts have been focused on a refactoring of every aspect of our service, from the members of our team to the code of the both the backend and the frontend. Everything has been done with one thing in mind: bring this service to next level. With next level I mean in terms of features and in terms of adoption. I personally have spent an entire month building contacts I will use as leverage for Staisybit's goals.
Last but not least, you all know that crypto-world (in particular altcoin world) is not big enough in terms of wages and/or earnings (yet) to let developers leave their real-life jobs and work on it full-time. This mean that behind the scenes, beyond Staisybit development, and beyond every crypto service, developers have their real-life jobs to think about, that are not necessarily more important but for sure they are.
That being said, we are back online and we are at work to remove the "beta" work from our release as soon as we can.
I would publicly thank Steve and Matth for their precious work, their patience and their unconditioned confidence in Staisybit project.
What we are working on
New features are on paper, others have already been transformed in code. This is a list of the confirmed features:(please, as per above, don't ask for an ETA):
- Exchange
- Mobile Apps (Android & iOS)
Cheers,
Alberto
