Title: Main DXSystem News Update

News Article Content

After some time being offline due to hardware and communication failure and system upgrading, the DXSystem is now preparing to move to the full global trading platform that has been the main focus from the beginning of development.
We can only apologize for the inconvenience caused by the downtime to all those concerned.

During the downtime the size of the economy has been adjusted to a level now that can move off and provide a flow that will be driven via all the services that will again come online and the new services. The sheer size of the programming behind merging the services into an economy meant that extra time was needed to update a new programming team that is capable of taking the system to the full capacity.

There have been a number of changes behind the scene in services that are online and offline which were necessary to upgrade before moving forward to give the system the ability to span across all the services that form the economy.
Up to now many DXUsers have seen the DXSystem as only the account and portfolio to gain and remove funds to other services.
For the current user who sees the DXSystem as a single account and portfolio they will still be able to use the services however the long term purpose has been to build an economy in a way that no other exists. Along the way the system has used external payment services that have been to store value, now this will change with the main global trading being activated using the Federal Gold payment service to operate the economy.

As an update and information of the downtime over the last several months, there was a hardware failure that caused the complete communication shutdown and although there were numerous expert technicians providing possibilities the problem was briefly corrected after a piece of hardware was repaired. The intermittent connection was totally unexplainable and the system was closed down because of the interference caused to other satellite services across the region.

A full equipment return and test was ordered and the equipment has only now been returned and will be reinstalled during the next days. There was a fault found with the original hardware item which had a 'masked' fault that was unable to be detected away from a major test service.
The re-installation does mean a downtime of several hours which will be scheduled over the next days and will be notified in the News Updates.

A major downtime of 24 hours will be scheduled over the next 2 weeks for a major changeover and again this will be notified in the News Updates.

Thank you for your time and we hope to have the full system and services operating fully during this month.

So they finally realise an apology was in order!

That remains to be seen, however time will tell.

Yes, true. Then again, you (DXS) did not go out of your way to tell people they were wrong.

Excellent.. a payment system from the people who created that quality, always online, awesome communication syste, DXS... don't expect people to be pleased with your plans for F.G.

A 'masked' fault?

Thanks for the forewarning

As i said further up... time will tell.

Interesting. Time will tell. So I guess all of us will post when we can't access our accounts again due to "down time". It will be interesting to see if it only last 24 hrs.

Oh Boy! We get to start paying our fees again soon (probably not fully knowing what we're doing yet).

Still hopeful!!!!!!!

Well I guess some news it better than complete silence for months on end. Like everyone says "time will tell" which direction the sytem goes,north or south. My question is will can I finally receive the outxchanges I placed in Jan & Feb of 07? Or will I have to continue to wait until who knows how long? What I guess everyone reading these news items needs is a major confidence builder! In other words when DXS says something we need to believe it and ofcourse be able to take it to the BANK!!!!

I think you said volumes there. Only my point of view, but much as I want to see it happen I can't make that picture come into focus in my mind.

I'm still hopeful - not blindly or overly optimistic, but hopeful! At this point any communication is good communication - so we wait and see what happens. At least this time, we know that downtimes are coming, and approximately when and why. Now we just hope that their 24 hour fix is just that and will only take (~approximately) 24 hours.

I must say, though - things are starting to look up. AND, as has been true of DXS right from the beginning, I think we can expect to see changes on the horizon. So, lets see where they take it from here.

I have been a member of DX for quite some considerable time. I became very dis-orientated about the whole concept when we were being "mucked about". Since then, at least two years, I have lost touch with everything. I can't even remember how the system works. I think there will be many in the same boat as I. It would be nice if someone would bring us up to date with exactly how we stand.

Congratulations on your first post joddrell. I think you are quite right about "there will be many in
