Due to the credible threat of a pending attack on Namecoin, we are going to close both Namecoin withdraws/deposit AND trading soon.
The attack threat is to re-write the blockchain back to block 10,000.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43465.0All Namecoin traders on Ruxum need to withdraw all of your coins from Ruxum as soon as possible. We will be closing Namecoin trading and withdraw on Friday September 16, 2011 at 00:01 OR Namecoin block 19000, whichever comes sooner.
Please withdraw your Namecoin as soon as possible as we
can not be responsible for Namecoins not withdrawn before the above deadline due to the nature of the threatened pending attack on Namecoin.
Namecoin trading, deposits and withdraw is fully operational before the deadline. Bitcoin trading, deposit and withdraw is not affected in any way.
We do not yet know if we will re-open Namecoin trading.
Thank you for your understanding.
UPDATE: Thurs Sept 15, 9:30pm EST- It appears that the NMC blockchain has been forked. Both Bitparking and Ruxum have agreed to support the original blockchain with merged mining scheduled to start at 19200.
- NMC withdraw and deposit will close in 6 hours from now. We don't know when deposit and withdraw will open again so if you need your coins, please withdraw asap.
- NMC trading at Ruxum will remain open for the time being.
- For a fully operational exchange, we will require a fix for the time travel exploit + smooth transition to merged mining past block 19200.
- We are suggesting the NMC project provide a mandatory 0.63 release with these upgrades and other known exploits and that the time travel fix takes place also at 19200.
