To establish a truly decentralized real-time exchange you would need to make a whole new infrastructure embracing existing cryptocurrencies (and future ones), which itself would be equal in effect and effort to creating Bitcoin.

I've seen the new project Mercury (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=946174.0) but it allow only the exchange between the cryptocurrency. The real problem is the implementation for the "FIAT" side.

The first comment to this twit seems to be of interest:

@btercom What is about the rumor of your empty offices?

Who knows anything about this rumor, or is it just a rumor?

bankcrupty it's not best way, if will resume - we have chance not to lose money.
If they resume, I doubt they will be refunding the 2 million USD that got hacked. So they will probably resume without that

They might have found an investor with deep pockets. At first they were going to close the exchange and cease all operations save for the withdrawals only (though I didn't believe their words from the start), but now they are saying they are going to continue. Without returning the funds, opening the exchange doesn't make much sense. People would just withdraw their money in this case, and that would be the end of bter.

They way I think they plan to return is something better than nothing.
Even if they do not refund the BTC, the bitcoin world still has people who would continue trading on that site and they will still make money from it irrespective of it. So not refunding and  comeing back to try and resume is better for them than not refunding and leaving.

They will ofcourse find a way to refund everything, but i doubt it going to be in a short time, and also how will people trust them again if they dont plan of refunding ? there are a lot more exchanger to trust rather than bter

Which are those? Cryptsy? To me, cryptsy is the next gox, it is just a question of time. Maybe, poloniex? Has been "hacked" before due to a lame hole in the withdrawal system. Bittrex then? Can't say anything either against it, or in favor of it, not yet at least.

Cryptsy's trading engine is broken (who would have thought), they are well aware of it (this has been confirmed by the support), and yet they do nothing to fix it. Why should I trust them my money (let alone trade there)?

Cryptsy was facing a lawsuit over a customer account breach. I don't know if the case has reached court yet or what happened if it has.

It seems that someone quick on the trigger has lost a handsome amount of money and finally decided to take the fate of bter and his coins there in his own hands.

Reminiscent of Karpeles 'moving offices'...
Interesting to see where this ends up. They have started releasing crypto and fiat funds, at least, so it's not another complete re-run of Gox.
