Notes and record state

Record note

The former exchange domain now presents unrelated or substantially repurposed Web3-oriented material and is not treated as an active continuation of the 2018-2019 exchange. The shutdown date and causal connection to the May 2019 attack are supported by a preserved transcription of the exchange announcement and independent reporting.
