We need more nodes running. The blockchain is syncing super slow. I'll get it done though, because Maxcoin is a great coin. It just had some noob developers and Max Keiser pumped and dumped. It was crazy fast to transact though, which I was really excited about. I'm stoked that development has been picked up again.
As far as the volume, it's mostly in China, but hopefully it will catch on in the rest of the world. It really is a great coin with some good prospects.
P.S. I'm digging the new logo and wallet. It looks much better than the old gold M.
