Me neither, I beginning to think they will never come out of "beta".

I could barely imagine a way to attain more hassle for less reward than trying to start a Bitcoin exchange at this point in time.  Only if Mt. Gox completely crashed and burned could they hope to get enough business to pay for much more than power, and that is even if they did things perfectly.

My main hope for Ruxum was that they were going to cater to some wealthy tax cheating and/or hard core market manipulating buddies of theirs, or clients who wanted to move funds back and forth from West to East, but the Bitcoin system never grew large enough for that to be very practicable.

Be warned that you can't withdraw namecoin NMC still so the funds can get stuck as there are few buyers to convert them back

Yes, i think they lost interest, and will not come out of "private beta". One can still log in, if one reloads the page a few times...

Unless it's a honeypot.gov, perhaps, they are just waiting for MtG to buy them out. Sad. They have some great features and potential...
