And it's all my fault...
Since we're working on bitasset enabled ATMs here at Gemspace, I've reached out to various liquidity providers to find ways of supplying the necessary bitUSD we will need in order to make settlement function correctly.
Shapeshift is a natural choice, so I started a conversation with them.
They were evidently unaware of the pending move to 2.0.
I explained what it entails and they've temporarily turned off bitshares pending the upgrade.
I don't work for them, I don't know how long it will take them to bring it back up.
However I figured I'd drop by and let you guys know, it's nothing fundamental just an upgrade.
