Thank you for supporting auroracoin. you can sell your coins on zapple.com

Please be advised that Zapple exchange will be closing on December 31, 2020.

I've received the relevant e-mail message on October 13.

Here's the mail contents:
"We are sorry to inform you that Zapple is closing down operations. We had been due to launch a novel banking product this year but the impacts of Covid-19 and a changing marketplace meant it was not possible to launch in our original timescales. With upcoming regulatory changes in the UK and a product not ready for launch we have made the difficult decision to cease operations. We are currently looking for someone to buy Zapple’s intellectual property and, potentially, to serve our existing customers.

Unless a buyer is found for Zapple before the end of the year then Zapple will be closing from 31st December 2020. From 1st January 2021 until 31st January 2021 the site will operate in a withdrawal-only mode. During this phase trades and deposits will be forbidden. From 1st February 2021 Zapple will be offline completely so it is imperative that you withdraw your assets by this point as they will no lost if not withdrawn at this point.

We are working with partners to support their customers and currencies during this time. If alternative offerings become available we will notify you before the end of the year."

I've checked only today zapple exchange since I traded AUR/BTC, AUR/BCH for about 6 months ago and withdrew all the funds.
And yes, the relevant message about closure is posted on the home page of the exchange.

They try to find a solution to keep the exchange online. Hopefully they will succeed!

there are talks underway to hand zapple over to new owners

It's more accurate to say that there are ongoing discussions with the Zapple team and prospective investors / buyers / leasers interested in keeping the platform running.

But as far as I know there have not been any final decisions or new owners at this time.

That being said, we (Auroracoin) are currently looking at a couple of international btc exchanges for trading auroracoin.

( Any favorites ? suggestions ? )
