* The massive update we refer to in [this article](https://steemit.com/tradeqwik/@tradeqwik/tradeqwik-announces-huge-update) is still underway, so you will continue to see new features as you log in periodically. At the moment the Bitcoin block chain resyncing is S-L-O-W.

* There will be one to two hours of downtime starting at 9:00 PM Pacific time. Say hi to Rubber Ducky!

* The BTC/BCH market pair will be going away in the next week. It was a temporary market set up right after the Bitcoin fork. Get your trades in while you can.

* Speaking of things that will be going away soon, take one last look at your VIVA ID. This one will probably hang on for another month, but it will be replaced with a simple user ID that you get to choose. You will definitely want to choose your Tradeqwik user ID to match your Steemit ID, because that's ultimately how your @tradeqwik upvote will be determined. Every other method we have used to determine upvote weight has been, well, experimental. In the end we want to reward our customers based on trading volume.
> "That way we don't favor whales or minnows," said Tradeqwik CEO William Banks, "We just do what we set out to do in the first place which is to provide a benefit to our active users."

* We've mentioned before that the current user interface is going to soon be replaced by a much better one. Here is a snapshot of what the new one will look like.

* Finally, if you log onto Tradeqwik, you might notice a new VIVA/VICO trading pair. Hmmm... What could it mean? We'll take guesses as to what it stands for... for an upvote!

**UPDATE:** In addition to everyone who participates getting an upvote, the one who comes the closest to being correct as to what VICO actually stands for will win one TQS, an $80 to $100 value!
