What about whalebearwall: half man, half pig, half wall?

Yeah, it's indirectly caused by the adds. Those stupid animations make the crappy Adobe Flash Player mad which in turn makes the browser laggy/crashy. It might be just stupidity (as Adobe Flash usually is) but could also be semi-malicious (a dumb maleware), I am not sure. This is not the first time in the Flash Player history, similar things happen from time to time (it's usually just bugs).

It's like the entity behind this Moolah twitter account is the same who posted on Mt.Gox when they started to deal with malleability issues but also picked up some experience in the shit/scam-coin "developer" front in the mean time. (I am not suggesting anything because I would run out of money long before them. )

This was priceless in this situation: "You will run out of money long before I do." (I know because I just robbed you.)

I think I was the last one who used this link. I hit Replay and received a message that "Error loading stream. ID not found on this server". Does this mean LiveLeak would also run out of money long before Moolah?

With <1 BTC/hour average speed over the past few hours?!? They are really something else beyond crazy!

Only if it wasn't way more easier to understand, accept and support this advice than actually comply with it.

Today it took ~90 minutes for me to deposit some BTC on Cryptsy (they require 4 comfirmations which shouldn't take more than 50 at max [40 nominal] minutes but I had to wait several blocks before somebody included my transaction in a block).

You mean: "When do we start to fear that somebody is about to dump huge amounts of several altcoins on other exchanges for BTC (and/or fiat directly in case of LTC and DRK) and continue to dump BTC for fiat?"
Well, I officially did (start to worry, not to believe that it is happening already, just worry...).
But I had a bad feeling about BTC prices and mintpal before it all started (I withdrawn everything from mintpal and Kraken, so I won't loose or panic-sell the coins).

Right after Karpeles figures out what his cat did with the money, so he can re-open Mt.Gox, I am starting to guess.

My worst fear is that Mintpal is behind the BTC dump, but in a way that they are dumping all the user's coins for fiat (in short: there is no V2, there is no migration issue, there is no mintpal anymore).
I don't suggest to start panicking, I say this is my worts fear (I absolutely do not want this to happen, even though I fully emptied my mintpal balances a weak ago).

May be I am wrong about this, but I think it doesn't really matter. The "51% attack" is about having >50% of the network hash rate. A few (let alone virtual) CPU cores here and there don't really matter. They start to solve the block but effectively never finish it and thus they never actually have any effect on the blockchain. They do not mine any blocks, they are only trying to find the solution (and their work gets flushed when somebody else finds it before them).
Wild luck doesn't count here (unless you are hoping for the block reward as a lottery), because you would need a series of wild lucks in an externally defined time frame (solve several blocks in a row until the >50% entity looses it's adventage).

Interesting when you put these together.
I often tend to think that I see some "patterns" which could suggest that some form of manipulation is possibly in effect (I am not talking about the crypto gabler, fan cheerleader or coin troll kind of manipulation paranoia but huge spikes and "channel-alignment"), however I never see liquidity problems because that's just supply and demand right there (regardless if it's manipulated or not), for me liquidity (change) is a direct effect of supply and demand (change). No liquidity = the supply or demand just dried up at that price level, so the market needs to find the next correct price (be that either lower or higher). [Or alternatively neither sides care anymore, so the whole market is dead. But that's rare.]

I am not sure if this is really over for now or Mintpal indirectly decided to do some price fixing. The Cryptsy DRK market is hovering really close the price level of the last recorded mintpal trade. Funny.

I am not surprised. Some people expected some undefined miracle to instantly happen after the opensourcing event which obviously haven't been the case, so some people are selling their DRK and try to buy "the next miracle of crypto" (or even get out of cryto for now because of the BTC price decay, or play it safe and just sit on their BTC). It's not even that big of a dump (at least not yet and I don't expect it will be) but the markets are very quiet these days, so those sells can easily drive the price down significantly. It might cause some panic which can generate a heavy dump but the generally quiet market doesn't support that either, so I expect a slow decay until something changes the overal attitude (into either directions).

Last time I ran a "hot" masternode (there wasn't a remote option at the time anyway) I had to enter my wallet key for starting it (my wallet daemon had to sign messages with my 1000DRK private key).
That means your wallet key theoretically can be stolen.

However, I haven't try to run a masternode since months, so may be my information is outdated. It depends on what you mean by "hot masternode".

This wasn't the case during the first few beta versions. (I closed my masternode and moved the DRK back to the exchange circulation after that change occured. Not strictly becasue of but including that change.)

At least until the next episode of the HearthBleed and Bash bugs.

I never really cared about the fiat/BTC price during this year. I didn't plan to cash out for either ends (panic about crashing fiat price or greed to take the fiat profit) and I tried to keep the speculation at a minimum and in altcoin/bitcoin space instead of fiat/crypto, so I rarely checked the USD/BTC graphs.

But this time the USD/BTC chart feels like watching Titanic in 3D.
I keep hearing that "I have a reeeealy baaaaad feling about this." in the sub-consciousnesses of some characters, mixed with a generic movie trailer narration voice on the middle ground which explains how James Cameron and his friends are taking the money from the pockets of the stupid who believed the lie that a plain 2D movie can 'seriously actually' be converted into real 3D.
But that's just not possible. It's a simple fact: a 2D copy is a 2D copy, you need to shot from 2 angles for 3D. It's only a 3D post-process effect, not real 3D.
And back into the movie, it's not a love story either. It's a sinking ship where most of the characters die in vain and pain.
(And you also shouldn't buy Celine Dion's whole album just because that song was a good match for that movie scene. )
So, everybody is a fool, all at the same time: those who are on a ship which is about to sink and those who are sitting in the movie theater in 3D glasses (and also those who think the woman who sings is a hot young woman).
It's only James Cameron and his friends who are milking the profit 'in 3D for realz'.

BTW, it's the fourth sub-400$ plunge in a 12-month period (after the 1000+ ATH), not the third.

I don't know. I bought some NEOS coins very close the ATH (~5k @26ksat) and I am waiting patiently.

Haha. This is how I lost a considerable amount of money when Mt.Gox went down for good. I was happy when I bought the cheap coins which fell from the sky like rain but I could never even try withdrawing them.
So, this time I withdrew all my BTC (which waited there for a DRK price move) as fast as I could after the first sign that something is wrong.

While I agree that logging in as a user is somewhat safer in general than logging in as root but I don't think this is the reason.
The ENTER is the key here. If you hit the ENTER without double (or triple) checking the whole line, you can just as easily end up with a devastating mistake whether you are logged in as root or as a user who is using sudo. These commands you listed as examples have the exact same effect when issued with sudo and you can just as easily make typos in lines starting sudo as you would without sudo but logged in as root. Sudo doesn't save you from typos and similar accidents when you think you are about to issue a command with root privileges anyway. When you think you need superuser rights you will automatically start the line with sudo and everything after that can still be a mistake (and have the same effect as issuing the same command as the real root).

So, I personally use an account without superuser rights (can't even use sudo) and I log in as root (in a different terminal) when I want to do something which requires root privileges (but I log out when I am done).

But the volume is nothing compared to the time frame around the ATH.
For example, I generated ~50 of Cryptsy's ~300 BTC/day volume today by jumping in and out a few times, so I call that 300 completely redundant (I guess I wasn't alone with this behaviour).
I didn't feel like staying in DRK because I didn't see the volume validating the price (and thus I expected a quick minicrash which could have been a nice spot to go in for a longer term).
Right now... I have no idea what to do before going to sleep. Buying right now and leaving it alone for 8+ hours would be an emotion based act, not a nice trade. But then again, it might be up by another 50% by the time I wake up.


I don't find the scottish voting exciting because I guess they fixed it to NO.
