They didn't really brought in something completely new, as far as I could see... It was expected for them to shutdown. The market is now filled with different kinds of wallets. In the end, only a few will survive (the biggest ones and the ones who bring changes and new functionality, and that are safe to use of course)

The market is overly saturated with wallets ( we have listed over 70+), so it's only natural for some to shutdown after a while. It's hard to keep up with bitcoin tech and wallet software is complex and must always be up to date and secure. I imagine that this year we will see some more wallets shutter as well.

This should serve as a reminder of the importance of only using wallet services for pocket change and not as your main wallet. I tend to make a few raw tx's of around 0.01-0.05 each that I can quickly broadcast to a "spending wallet" or service if need be. That way my main funds are always safe in cold storage. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Wallets that don't offer full control I wouldn't fully recommend and if you do use it, only small amounts and *not* as your main wallet.

BTW I just checked out your site, bitcoinx.io (listed in signature) pretty nice! Bookmarked for future reference - I had never come across it before.
