This is going to come off inflammatory, but I'm only saying what I've noticed many others insinuating in their responses to you as well.
Many people saying something is not necessarily an indication that the something has any value. What matters is who's saying it and what's actually being said. Try reading a second pass, this time "noticing" who's talking and the sense (or lack thereof) of the content.
Here's a handy starting point:
lol rediculous glbse is much better
Your securities exchange is extremely unpopular because you have no interest in usability or user experience and have an arrogant attitude that tends toward assuming your users are idiots if they don't want to machette their way through your archaic user interface instead of expecting you to actually take some pride in your site's presentation and do something about it. I've no doubt that your technical ability is great and that the technology powering your exchange is wonderful, but seriously, usability is important. Give a shit about your site's presentation.
It's not my exchange, and a handful of agitated forumites doesn't at all render something "unpopular". Why do you imagine you can fail to read to such an extent and yet also have the wherewithal or experience to tell me what's what?
Anyhow, it's been said time and again: the bullshit non-exchanges based on making things overly simplistic and shiny for the sake of coddling the clueless fail. Every time. People like to imagine it's because of the Boogeyman. It's not. It's squarely because some people imagine that securities is about being nice to those who have no business investing in the first place so as to feel cozy about being accepted into the circle jerk. This attitude isn't ever going to be a feature of an actual exchange, anywhere.
And again, Bitcoin is a
cryptocurrency. Eschewing
cryptography tools that build good security and actually function as they should because learning is too hard will always and forever be the attitude of those who do not belong in BTC finance.
