Donation funded explorers will be shut down on September 01, 2014
I would like to thank the donors that have helped over the last two years.
Unfortunately you are a rare breed and CCE needs to go 100% commercial to keep running and progressing.
As I have mentioned before, donation funding has never paid the bills. The sponsorship program provides both CCE and users some great advantages.
Explorers are guaranteed not be be dropped as long as sponsorship is kept paid. Since the relationship is now a contractual business relationship there is no uncertainty for the sponsors/users and CCE.
As a commercial venture, updates and features will become regular as competition is now a relevant force.
After September 1st, there will be a setup fee and rates will increase. CCE 3.5 requires more setup as it is aesthetically customized for the coin and is not as cookie cutter as CCE 3.0.
Only sponsored explorers will be upgraded to CCE 3.5.
Explorers that are currently on CCE will be grandfathered in under the current rates after September 1st.
