I think it's time to start supporting p2p type exchange architectures like the ngccc (colored coins) Project... they need help and I bet money helps, too.

We can't complain if we don't help.

Colored coins cannot replace an actual stock exchange. The point was made in January.

More importantly, money used to support broken ideas does not help. Much in the same way that using broken exchanges and hoping they'll work out because people are nice though incompetent does not help.

a little bit of conspiracy: exchanges are closed, because there is need to have decentralized exchange. bitcoin is product of some us&a intelligence service and they need community to continue development more

Neither does conspiracy help. Play pretend exchanges do not close "because" anything other than the fact that they are play exchanges, and as such they cannot hold.

So, with no btct and no bitfunder what other options we have?

Havelock if they are able to continue there business now with there move to Panama.

And then we have Cryptostocks, im not a huge fan of how Kumala, Cryptostocks owner and Vircurex majority owner has treated the minority owners in Vircurex, but i guess Cryptostocks will probably be the last of the BTCstockexchanges to still stand. They will probably not get affected by any actions SEC or any other USA based government organization can take.

You "have" Cryptostocks in the same manner that you've "had" all the rest of the play pretend exchanges, including GLBSE, including btct, and you'll continue to "have" them until such time as people stop putting hopes, dreams, and money into broken operations which themselves hope to soak up that money from uninformed people playing at "investing" instead of getting informed, along with play-pretend exchanges that facilitate said operations.

Hoping is not investing, no matter how it's crafted so as to seem like it. This won't be "fixed" by moving on to another platform fueled by hope, whether it's cryptostocks, whether it's P2P, whether some boogeyman in a suit comes or not. Bitcoin isn't a nice person who cares about people's aspirations and desires and wants to help people out. So long as some people pretend that Bitcoin is their personal friend and nice graphics and good intentions have anything to do with investing, this will be said again and again, every time:

GPG contracts. Security that isn't based on the limitations of a "slick" website. Actual IPOs from actually planned out, accountable entities. Yes, there's a fee. You're paying for that which works, which in the end is all that's worth paying for. No, I'm not especially nice in that In-N-Out Burger sort of way (though I'm just PR, you don't have to deal with me at all to use the exchange). The lies, the sugar-coating, the beating around the bush, is exactly for cheap food service and has no place in BTC finance. Plenty of people have thrown a fit over these facts, I'm sure plenty of people will continue to do so, and will continue to lose their money. MPEx will be right here.
