Care to explain why my exchange is pathetic? Feedback is appreciated as our project is open source and always looking to improve.
The exchanges you mentioned are closed source, so you in one breath are praising close sourced applications and demanding he remain open source. I believe the project should be open source (and if the community wishes to keep it around they will maintain it under open source) but it appears to me you have conflicting opinions.
doublec had every right to make a closed-source application for his business.
You can't compare CoinHunter's apparent support of closed-source to that. He took an open-source application, did almost no real work on it, relied on others' significant prior work, released it as open-source, and then changed it because of a personal dispute, taking the opportunity to attack Bitcoin in the "change" and the text file.
It was a major dickhead move. Add to that his complete unwillingness to listen to user input, his attitude problems, his clear lack of experience, and, frankly?
doublec went closed-source because it was a legitimate business decision.
CoinHunter made his derivative of someone else's work to try and attack the someone else because he's a crybaby.
