Understood.  I'm thinking of buying more and I'm trying to get a feel for a consensus on the short-term direction.

What are your thoughts on the price of BTC short-term?  Maybe 30 days?

Is this coin on any exchanges?

Thank you both for that.  I'd like to believe that the recent price drop is due to this sort of thing but volume seems to be dropping as well.

Are there plans to remove the NRS software's reliance on well-known peers?  Obviously it would be ideal for the software to connect to the network and find its own way as is the case with other P2P networks.

What if I were a new user?  I wouldn't have any *.nxt files.  I would be required to add more well-known peers?  If so, why not include them in the distributed web.xml?  It would be good to make this software work out of the box.

Where can I find a list of well-known peers to add to web.xml?

I just updated 2 out of my 3 public nodes to 0.4.8 and both are stuck on block zero.  What should I do?

So you create a buy or sell "wall" to avoid moving the market?

Can anyone explain to me how that works?  I understand the order book but I always just buy at market.

I would LOVE that!  Or even just some statistics.

What's the latest with big stakeholders selling off some of their Nxt?  Has it been happening at all lately?  I hope so.

Where can I buy Lottocoin and Catcoin?

I like Nxt personally.

The devs are just waiting for the price to go up for that.

I'm setting it up on a Pandaboard ES as we speak:

Skynet is referenced that way a lot.

Does anyone else think this might have been a friendly DDoS?

It caused Cfb to tighten up the software and it caused us to strengthen the network with an explosion of new nodes and many more in the works.  If someone really wanted to embarrass Nxt, they could have waited until we were out of alpha stage and they could have hit us with a much stronger attack.  If it's malicious, why bring it on early and easy?  It has done us no harm and quite a bit of good.

Thank you!  I am very happy to see this.  I hope a math expert will develop a formula to calculate the degree of distribution of Nxt.  Something that will spit out a single number so we can see if the degree of distribution is improving over time.  Of course, someone could have multiple accounts so it would really just be a degree of distribution amongst accounts, not amongst people.

Do the original stakeholders keep their Nxt in 73 accounts?  If so, do we know which accounts?

I still don't see the problem.  The *only* real complaint I see about Nxt is distribution.
