It really does highlight the fact that a lot of the Bitcoin economy is still in the 'early adoption' phase and there's still a huge reliance on trust-based relationships. People will be panicked and intimidated by the lack of transparency and rapid support in these periods of down-time... but I'm sure it's going to be fine.

I definitely understand that they have been busy with bigger issues... but I still haven't heard back from Safedice or thesourc3, in spite of multiple messages and emails regarding my inability to login.

I figure they'll get to it eventually... luckily I didn't lock up a massive amount of money on their platform, but it does represent a loose end I'm hoping to resolve soon.
