Morning All

A update for you all after week one.

almost all have been fixed and the system is running nicely.

APT Week 1 :-: Total Users Paid in Round 19
APT Week 1 :-: Total Unpaid Users in Round 0

Registered Users - 128
Confirmed Registered Users - 105
Active Users - 105

Signature Campain Users Total :-:
Signature Campain Payout Total :-:



Some thoughts - well were rather chipper with ourselfs, its been productive, uptake has been a bit faster than expected
one the whole users are reporting posative experiances, a few "niggles" about the way data is displayed, but on the whole its been a great first week for us, well take that all day everyday and twice on sunday thanks.

So thank you to those who have taken the time to help visit chat etc


Wed better set some Goals For October so here they are, by the end of october heres where wed like to been

1000 Registered/Active Users
1 BTC In generated Fees
75 Coins
150 Markets
Fiat Markets Opened


Now onto a slighty worrying devolopment, we have found the first big bug, that has resulted in MINOR, coin loss, a user was able to exploit a call on the faucets and get more coins than they was entitled to, they attempted to reportert this to use, but before we had a chance to complete the investigation, said user cashed out for a whopping
monster total of 0.03 BTC, i have already replaced this from my own coin supplys, so theres no need to panic. Now this is important for everyone else who finds bugs, whilst bug hunting is usually done for the good of others, the moment you put a withdraw request for those coins it become theft, and wont be tollerated. The irony in this case here
is they got 0.03 BTC from the platform, and i would have personally paid them 1,000 APT, Worth way more than what they got, so Epic Win for the assailant there.


Whilst incidents like this are totally undesirable, and looking at the way exchanges deal with these incidents in the past, we feel it better to just be honest with our auidence at large, the user in quiestion has been banned from the software, and we will monitor this situation very carefully, the faucets are offline untill further notice (should only be a day), the BitCoin that was removed from the exchange 0.03 BTC has been replaced from my own Reserves, No user balances were touched, the incident was between the faucets and our distribution user, so the coins taken were our own to begin with (hopefully that makes some sence).

So there it is folks, a good week from where were sat.

Let us know what you think, how you think we can improve, if you have questions about the "incident" just fire away,
lets get you guys more of what you want and less of what you dont.



Oh one other thing

[BITDV]

Okay chaps and chappetts

Yesterday saw our first hardware issue, im happy to report, everything worked as it should, took a while to bring up all the wallets again, but everything is now back up.

SkeletonCoin has been added to the exchange, APT Holders will see this in there pending payments, hope you all be happy with it.

Stake Mode - Finally its gone full auto, every Friday night stake payouts will happen, you'll soon notice in the my account section all new tabs for the stake system so you can
see your expected returns and some other data.


Fiat Markets, the keen eyes are away already, YES THERE OPEN. BUT, those markets are phase one, feel free to start trading if you wish, but we urge you to wait for phase 2 which will be available very soon,
we think you will love it.

Also (and ill let you know when) once the last of the framework is complete, there will be a dev pause and a bug bounty program run, for everything from spelling mistakes to other things, so get your lists ready im sure many of you have the odd niggle or slight change you think would be good.

you will be rewarded APT, on a fixed Severity Scale, Severity 1 Is critial, 1000 APT down to Severity 5 (visual) which is 20, and when reporting spelling we wont pay per word, but per page could be done Smiley

Any other questions shout.

Enjoy

Yes the advantage of holding APT is every friday APT holders will receive a portion of the profit pool, here is more info

AltEx Proffit Token Information

APT is a mechanisim to power progress and give you the chance to earn a regular payment and share of the proffits we make. In total there are 1,000,000 Proffit Tokens, this supply number is fixed and represents 100% of the Exchanges proffits, 400,000 Coins are made available by this system and by means of promotions will eventually be in the hands of the community at large, whilst the other 600,000 coins are divided between the owners and operators of the AltEx Platform, meaning we get paid by the very system you get paid by.

Each week we total up the proffits which are tracked in real time, and perform some simple maths, we divide the total of each coins proffit by the total number of tokens, and then pay you based on the tokens you own, nice simple efficent and easy for everyone who owns to token to track and understand, this method is fully automated aswell so payments will happen as regular as clockwork.

Unpaid Rounds

From time to time rounds may go unpaid, but dont be alarmed, the reason is insufficent coins to divide, the minamum payout is currently set to 0.00000001 and thus when we divide proffits by tokens and its less than this, the job is aborted and run the following month untill its paid
We reconise and undertstand some coins will not work particularly well, or could take months to earn a payout, usually coins with ultra limmited total coins, should this be the case, or it becomes a problem, we will make some changes and pay those coins directly in BTC instead.

and yes as time goes on things will be developed more and added mate!! and welcome!!

[BITDV]

Hi All,

Some people are experianceing a login issue were working to resolve it, in the mean time you may need to clear your browser cookies and history, this will help with your login requests, DevTeam is currently working on a more permentant solution and is the result of last weeks crash, any tokens your browsers holding wont be valid since the crash.

If you still experience the error hang tight, it will soon be resolved, there will be a notice on the exchange once its resolved.

Sorry for the issues here,  but as we mentioned before all new hardware is in place and migration to it is underway, so hopefully the issues of the last week will kindly piss of to another server that has nada to do with us hehe.

Sorry again chaps and chappets

 Hi All, a quick update from the devteam for you all.

As we knows the cracks are showing, now the milage is racking up were starting to see what would otherwise be minor issues causing nock on problems, rather than rush to fix some of them, ive been sat in a cold damp dark room watching things happen in real time and understanding these problems much deeper.

Its becoming aparant our code in areas is excessive, and coupled with the design overall its what you might call lazy, it takes to long to complete and delays other tasks, which has a nock on effect. Another issue is slow returns from the database, and even slower writes to the database.

In short despite our recent major hardware upgrade were running out of the things we need most, so the changes have been made, and deploying them will take a little time but heres what you need to know

Right now "StakeEngine" was a single application, this is no longer the case, we have separated out about 80% of the code to a brand new Application Layer affecitonatly called the StakeEngine Continous Execution Application Layer, this layer removes a ton of code from the primary application, all its logic, and every last ounce of jobs that have to execute.

The frontend will now do nothing more than serv data.

The application layer is websocket driven, and independent, no longer are all jobs executed to a specific schedule, they are executed continuously, without constraint (this has accounted for a 480% overall performance increase)

Your talking a lot about performance issues, when the simple things done work!!!!!

Quite right, but in this case the performance issues and "fat" code in some area are the direct cause of those issues, with sechuled jobs not finishing on time or in sequence errors are happening, or processing is starting out of sequence meaning data it depends on hasn't yet been prepaird etc.

I expect almost every major issue to just vanish, a quick list for you all

The withdrawals page, i know theres a bug in there, your being returned to an invalid page, this will be resolved in this window.

StakePayments will get slowed down to 6hour rounds, same with APT.

All wallets will be restarted and audited (updated as needed as well)

2 new IIS FrontEnds

a 32Ghz Application Layer

2 New Database Servers

Several hundred minor changes and tweeks, improved bundles, improved javascript some updated frameworks new features, and game updates


 There will be an 8 hour window startomg fro, say 18:00 gmt until 00:00 gmt
