Well, after hitting more than 0.0029btcs XRB went all way down to 0.0017 in a few minutes.
What is most interesting is that charts on both exchanges do not tell the truth about what is going on. Bitgrail chart keeps showing green sticks even when the price has fallen considerably. At least on Mercatox you can update the chart manually, but you have to keep doing it frequently to keep update. You better follow XRB charts on Blockfolio, they are much more precise and update than at these exchanges pages but when things heat up Blockfolio also becomes very strange. I guess they rely on information sent by the exchanges.
Time table is no where shown or adjusted to your local time and text prices at Grailbit also does not refresh continuously, after a few minutes you have to reload the page to get the latest prices, specially if price is down.
And on top of all that, stop loss orders are non existent at Grailbit or disabled at Mercatox. Very, very suspicious to say the least.
Not to mention frequent desperate people at the chatroom because they have been waiting more that a week for withdraws balance to show up at the destination account outside these exchanges without success or any response from support.

I heard XRB is one of the most fairly distributed coins in the market but that doesn´t seems true either as these whales attacks on small weak heart newbee buyers that get their investments trapped in the web of these dodgy exchanges seem pretty well organised and planed.
Whoever they are, they are doing a massacre and the exchanges problems seems very convenient for that.

If XRB is not a scam itself, it urgently needs a transparent exchange.

I never worried about regulations as I don´t like them but unfortunately all this is a perfect example why they will be needed!
Everything points to an amazing price manipulation going on with XRB to trap funds in these exchanges.
What could be next?
You guess...
But I definitively hope to be proved wrong!

As XRB has been pumping more that 20% almost every day when other coins are going deep in the red, I decided to buy some.
At the moment, the only two exchanges that I know that deal with XRB are BitGrail and Mercatox.

So, first I tried to send BTC founds to my new open account wallet at BitGrail but my exchange canceled the withdraw saying that my wallet at BitGrail was not in the blockchain. I checked the address and it was correct!

Then I opened an account at Mercatox, tested with 0.0010 BTC and all went well, so I sent some more.

By the time my founds in btc were avaliable to place an order, XRB was raising very quickly from 20% to more than 40%, so I waited for a correction but it keept going from 0.00094btc up to 0.00126776. At the same time it took to the price to raise all that at Mercatox, about 6-7 hours, I discovered XRB price at BitGrail has been almost static, not reaching more than 0.0009846

All this is looking very strange to me and I decided not to take a risk and send back my founds in btc back to my original exchange wallet just to discover that Mercatox has a limit of only 0.5btcs withdraw per day for non registered users. I uploaded all the necessary documentation to verify my account but it doesn´t save it!

Does anyone have any idea about what is going on with XRB prices in this two exchanges and why Mercatox seems to be holding on custumers founds?

It seem to me that Mercatox is manipulating XRB prices to attract investors and trapping their investments!  

EDITED: Forgot to mention that I also saw several people complaining in the chatroom at Mercatox that their deposits in XRB are taking days to clear!
Maybe a way to limit XRB supply?

And my question about huge price differences in exchanges was deleted from BitGrail TrollBox!

So, there is no fork going on?
I was trying to move btc from my exchange and it was blocked, they said because the fork!

So, whats up with Segwit2x advertised for today?
Is it happening?

After I invested in the AIcoin XAI ICO I noticed I made a mistake when registering my email. I tried to contact them in all channels to correct this mistake that can prevent me from receiving their emails. I tried the company´s page, chat, email and even Facebook page message. They just read my message and ignore it. Then I tried their page in reddit but they deleted my post without answering or getting in touch. I have now few doubts I invested in a scam ICO! What kind of serious company ignore their investors? Does anyone knows for sure if the staff is really serious and has the solid background that they say they have? If you look carefully, their webpage is very poor, por pictures, poor design and it´s only focus is convincing people bonuses to spread the news of their ICO by giving them bonuses, nothing more!
Very very suspicious! Shame I didn´t pay much attention to this details before as I liked the idea of their coin. But I guess it will never really happen the way they say. For all I see now it looks like a scam!
Does anyone has any idea how can I recover the investment in bitcoins I made to their ICO?

Forgot to mention, they not even list how much they have raised already!
All things are pointing to a scam, as far as I see!
