"How long will this take? Well, we aren't sure. We won't be finished tomorrow, but we're working diligently to get this done. Bringing you what's next is a big enough job that literally everyone we have is working on it. As soon as we know, you'll know."

Hopefully one of the things they improve is their absolutely horrid customer service.

So basically, after launching their 'new' site and having nearly every feature fail spectacularly (an insult to the application of the word 'beta') - they've been forced to suspend their 'service' for an indeterminate period of time. This is apparently from one of the shining lights of professional Bitcoin centric businesses. Laughable. Still - lasted longer than their Bitcoin Wireless venture...
