Apparently, from the higher-ups at REALTICK the word is that there was an extremely "unique" problem that wound-up taking their 7.6 Platform down the tubes.
Trust me when I tell you that they got a lot of "nasty" phone calls from everyone, including banks, hedge-funds, institutional traders, etc.
The good news is that they are throwing in the towel on 7.6 and will be rolling out 7.7 much sooner than previously anticipated.
7.7 comes with better security and a brand new architecture that will prevent what happened today, along with a much larger capacity so as to avoid freeze-ups and latency issues.
7.7 was suppose to take a month to come out.
After what happened today, it will undoubtedly be coming out MUCH SOONER!
