Nano Delisted from ChangeNOW and NOWPayments | Community Outrage Grows
A wave of disappointment has rolled through the Nano community as ChangeNOW and NOWPayments recently announced they are cutting ties with the digital currency. Many people are left questioning the decision's transparency and the future of Nano in light of this sudden announcement.
Poor Communication Raises Eyebrows
Criticism now lingers about the lack of notice from ChangeNOW and NOWPayments. On August 12, Nano learned through a partner that these services would be halting support. Despite ongoing discussions, no direct communication was provided prior to the announcement. "We raised concerns about the costs and asked for specifics on volume thresholds, but received no clear responses," said a Nano representative.
The delisting was confirmed on August 28 with ChangeNOW and NOWPayments citing high maintenance costs as a primary factor. Some community members suspect deeper issues behind this decision.
Community Frustration Intensifies
Sentiments on user boards reflect a mixture of disbelief and anger. "ChangeNOW feels like one of those fake decentralized services that generally works for now but is at risk of disappearing along with your funds," one commenter pointed out. Interestingly, some have even offered to assist ChangeNOW and NOWPayments with costs, indicating a desire for partnership rather than conflict.
The situation has sparked debate. "How is Nano more technical and resourceful to maintain than other coins?" one person questioned, highlighting skepticism towards the explanations provided. Meanwhile, many voiced their outrage, expressing feelings of betrayal after six years of collaboration.
"We're sad to see this chapter of our journey together come to an end," ChangeNOW stated, clarifying their need to reassess technical capabilities. They apologized for communication gaps, acknowledging that expectations were not met during the transition.
Exploring Alternatives
With the delisting underway, people are encouraged to consider other services that support Nano. "After this sudden exit, we need to keep exploring avenues for support because disruption this significant can’t be ignored," emphasized a community member. Several users hinted at potential partnerships with other platforms to keep Nano operational.
