Thanks for keeping us informed. I feel strongly that this can be worked out if enough people are willing to put in the effort. Even us going back and forth like this shows activity and that is important. I'd like to be involved in the project perhaps as a beta test or in some other way. Quatloo Trader is a winner even if not used for arb the other functions work well enough to make it an extremely useful as a time saver and placing market orders.  I'm holding just under 40k of coins so I'm kinda out on a limb here and I'm motivated to make this work and I'm able to put in time and effort.  Once again thanks for keeping us up to date as that is very helpful.

Thanks again for the reply, I understand the pressures of raising a young family or a large family. Most likely this started out as a hobby and just grew out of control. I've been there myself and it's a now stop battle to keep going. He gave the program out for free and if he's not using the app himself and has no coins of his own then most likely is not getting any income from it. Still he wants to cling to his dream that maybe some day he'll get a reward for his labor he put in during the early days. I watched his yourtube video and he seems like a good guy and he should be getting something out of it.

Now here is the naked truth. In my city there are thousands of homeless people. Most of them just hang out and do not much of anything at all. Others stand in traffic on busy streets holding signs and those are making 50 to 100 dollars a day. The lesson here is even the smallest effort pays far more than no effort at all.

Anybody who uses the app is obviously trading coins and has money, most are going to want to donate or pay for the use of the Quatloo Trader. But he has to make some effort on his own. Just hold up a sign.  He's  committing suicide by his silence. In this community the people want to give him money because it's in their own interest to do so.

Make the f_ing two minute Youtube video and have him ask for donations to continue to develop the app. It's not hard and can be done with a cell phone. Thats an easy start with minimal effort.  Thanks     

Thanks for the reply, Transparency goes a long way to building confidence. I'd like to address a few of your points as seen by a supporter of the platform.

1) First screw POLO they are not necessary so I don't get the connection. I understand that Polo was the first exchange and has the most volume but there is still Bittrex and Cryptopia and a slew of others that would be more than happy to list the coin. These exchanges are looking to steal market share from Polo. Besides you have a case against Polo why sleep with your enemy. You just don't need them anymore.

2) Awe Fyrstikken... Something don't sit right to me with him, kinda reminds me of the wizard of oz. I don't know him or have ever talked to him just going by my gut feelings there. As far as holding coins, let him hold a bag full of coins, you have the code and that's what matters.

3) Start communication with the community of users via Twitter, FaceBook, Reddit, slack. Youtube. etc... The saying no news is good news doesn't apply in this case.    

4) Markus does not have a lot of time to dev the project. I get that but I think it's important to keep in mind that when he started this project there was no user base or community to support him. That's changed now and there is no need for him to go it alone.

5) Polo is going to de-list tomorrow, it's said and done. Period and there's no point in waiting for a train that's already left the station.

6) On the coin swap. Don't fix whats not broken. Your public image is in shambles and it would be easier to fix that first. Once user confidence is restored the community will come through with support of the project. Myself included. Seems like the Blockchain mechanic did a lot of work to bring the blockchain up to speed. I installed the wallet and sent some coins to a friend to test it out. It worked fine.

7) Lastly. If Markus is still the dev we need to know that he is actually still alive. have him take five minutes to record a video and post it on Youtube otherwise I will assume that he is not alive and I am most likely speaking with Fyrstikken.    

Business is not a place for children, it's time to grow up.        

 I don't know this guy Fyrstikken but from his Youtube channel and posts here he seems shady. I could be wrong about that but ....

The website has a new coat of paint and looks much better. This platform is unique and seriously undervalued which is a common theme for an equity that miss managed. Otherwise it's a cash machine. I started using the the trader app to game the coin and got up two BTC in a couple months. Then Polo tanked the coin and I lost 80 percent value in fifteen minutes. But I reacted quickly liquidated some other coins and doubled down. I recouped my looses and and made a little profit on the snap back. I'm not going to let this die without a fight.  

Seeing how awful the website was I decided I would take on the task of putting up a new website for the platform and promote the Quatloo Trade on my own. I tabled the project on account of the current Crypto rally. I have some friends who are also interested in funding the development of the project as well. As I said in an earlier post. It's time for the grownups to take over.      

Thanks for the reply. Personally I've had a great experience with this concept and started to spread the word about it to my friends on Facebook. Even to the point where I started a fan group and I'm showing people how to use the app. For the price (free) the are some features that work just fine. Simple things that save huge time that can't be done on the web interface. I started to make a how to video for the group. Now that the website has been updated I'm going to get back to work it (the video). This app has been a cash machine for me so I'm not too interested in seeing it die without a fight. Bring out the paddles, CLEAR! I hear a pulse!  

Here's the group page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/quatlootraderclub

One final note. I have no problem with chipping if some coins to help fund the Quatloo Trader's continuing development. But before that happens I'd like to see some kind of stable management from the dev team. Updates on the twitter feed, a video on Youtube of Mark those kind of things. As for a Youtube video he can just stand in front of the camera with a current news paper and say hi. Weekend at Bernie's won't cut it.    

BTC Nice work on the web site guys. Does this mean your back on track?

Can't really fault Polo for dumping the coin. Still it seems like a shame the I've made more money from the Trader than the developer has, but then I use it daily. Wound be that hard to recreate the app and hire a real programmer the get the job done. It's just a matter or scalping some profit and reinvesting in the development of the app.

Quatloos is available for trading on CRYPTOPIA but there's no mention of it on the website. Can someone please explain this? is it just an oversight? Quatloo's  website was just update a few days ago and Polo was taken off as an exchange. Um... would it have been more effort to replace the text "Poloniex" with Cryptopia. Also the Trader Program will continue to work with Polo in spite of being de-listed. The API from Polo is still the same isn't it so as long a person has an account on Bitrrex they can still use the trader app, this is a selling point why no mention of it?     

Right. However IMHO Polo can go kick rocks. I think they are soon to be a has-been after this fiasco. It was a very poor decision their part to abruptly pull 17 coins at once. I've lost faith in Polo.

Polo gave Quatloo's a gift. It's the best thing that could have happened to it. Only two ways to get Quatloo now.
