📈 Update on BTC-e - A 55% Happy Ending In Sight!

For a busted exchange, this looks like a phenomenal come-back!

BTC-e is getting specific about the future!

Shortly after releasing their last statement, which I blogged about 5 days ago, BTC-e have become more specific.

And for the first time since the bust they have started actively engaging in communication with the community.

They have also posted a new general update yesterday, both on bitcoin.org and (that's new) on bits.media, to make their last statement more specific.

The posts on both forums are identical and, as usual, in Russian. Here's what google-translate gives us :

Update6! 08/14/2012

We have read feedback about our proposal to exit the situation and we decided to revise this decision in favor of community opinions.

We believe that this way out of the situation is more fair for holders of crypto-currency and fiat funds:

For each currency, a recalculation will be made taking into account the currently available assets. Currently 55% of funds are available, so 55% will remain in currency, and 45% will be converted to a specific currency token.
For tokens of all currencies, free trading on a separate page will be opened. You can trade them at any price, but no more than their face value. We pledge to redeem all the tokens. You can also sell your tokens to other users and get a currency, or wait and exchange tokens at face value.

For example, you had 1 BTC. You will receive 0.55 BTC and 0.45 BTCT. 0.55 BTC you can output immediately. The remaining 0.45 BTCT you can either exchange for BTC at the market rate, or wait for their exchange at face value.

P.S. A warning! The cases of posting fake links on allegedly our new domain have become more frequent. All official information about our service is placed only in our twitter and from our official account on the forum.

Sincerely, BTC-e team

Now, in my eyes, this would be a spectacular come-back.

Following their most recent comments, they affirm that they will open again (under a new yet undisclosed domain) by the end of August.

I sincerely hope they can pull this off!
