I used the Facebook link at the bottom of the Block Explorer, he also pops in here occasionally, maybe a direct message here would work as well.

The database is updating, however the issue with Cryptopia may be the fact that they have more coins than they should (somewhere north of 400M were listed for sale before they paused trading), when the total supply was around 385M. This would explain the relatively massive volumes since the 25th or so (forked coins were getting cashed out as soon as possible) as perhaps Cryptopia's wallet ended up on the forked chain (I'm not sure the details of how all this works). So even though the network may be fine after re-syncing, Cryptopia may need to do something more to sort it out. Your guess is as good as mine on what that would entail.
That said, the dev has always responded to me quickly when I send questions, so I've been impressed with that.

The "rumor" was likely a result of this tweet (plenty of tweets with plenty more information since then): R̶o̶m̶a̶n̶o̶UASFmano @RNR_0 2h hahaha I don't know how but I generated a Ethereum privkey with NodeJS & I accidentally cracked someone else Privkey. 1.2 $ETH & DAO (edit) direct link: https://twitter.com/RNR_0/status/869950371141177344

Correct, however the technical deadline is Monday, March 13th (due to Federal Register rules). That said, I also read that the SEC will be handing out the decision today.

Possibly a pump and dump manipulation based on "expected" news.

I'm getting the same webpage error.

I have two main trading "strategies".
What I do, among other things, is look for coins that have had previous boom/bust cycles, and aren't just brand new flavor of the month coins. Once I have identified the coins that have been holding pretty much steady, for a long period of time, near the lower end of the cycle, I begin to accumulate.
1) For example (completely hypothetical numbers), I'll use DOGE and LTC. These coins have existed for a long time, and have had numerous bubbles in the past, and both of these have been fairly steady at the current low levels for a long time (ideally you want at least 50% below the previous bubble price). I'm not saying DOGE and LTC are the only coins that meet these personal criteria (there are almost always plenty to choose from), I'm only using these as examples. Feel free to use any criteria for coin picking you wish. If you like ETC/ETH/DASH/XMR it works just as well, the important thing is to begin accumulating during the low movement, low price phase mentioned above. If the price shoots up before you begin buying, don't worry about it, again, there are almost always plenty of possible coins to choose from.
I'll then determine how much I want to "invest". So, for example, DOGE is currently around 40 sats, and has been there for at least a couple months. If I want to invest 2 BTC into this coin, I might use half of it to purchase now. If the coin goes lower, I can purchase more to lower my average cost. Eventually (and it may take many months), it should rise, and then I will distribute my holdings as I deem reasonable. I will usually be tracking all my buys at each price point:
500k DOGE at 40 sats 750k DOGE at 37 sats etc.
Sometimes I will completely sell out if I am happy with a price increase, sometimes I will sell enough to "break even" one of the buys, and hold the rest for free "profit" at some point in the future. For example, during the last minispike a couple weeks ago, if I had the two purchases above, I may have sold say 425k DOGE at 48 sats to "lock in/even out" my 40 sat buy, then save the extra 75k in case the price increased further. Since it didn't, and is now back at 40 sats, I would possibly just purchase another 500k.
2) My second strategy is similar. I will find a good coin to buy, but is more of a longer term "play". I will use LTC as an example, since it is fairly "safe". However, this strategy technically can work with any coin that isn't a one-time pump/dump/dead coin, which is why I prefer longer term coins. I will determine how much I want to spend on LTC, let's say 10 BTC. I then split up the 10 BTC into equal chunks, say 0.2 BTC, and set buys of whatever LTC I can get, at various levels. For example:
0.0005 LTC will get me 400 LTC 0.001 LTC will get me 200 LTC 0.0015 LTC will get me 133 LTC ~~ I will go up to a pretty high, potential top (say 0.04) and "spend" 0.2 BTC every 50k sats. ~~ 0.04 LTC will get me 5 LTC etc.
I would spreadsheet my buys as follows all the way to 0.04 BTC/LTC: 0.00050000 / 400 0.00100000 / 200 0.00150000 / 133 0.00200000 / 100 0.00250000 / 80 0.00300000 / 67 0.00350000 / 57 0.00400000 / 50 0.00450000 / 44 0.00500000 / 40 etc.
Bonus, since prices are really low right now, I can get 0.2 BTC worth of LTC (say 5 LTC at .00395) for a fraction of the price. So, I would buy 5 LTC (for my .0395 buy to resell at .04).
Alternatively, this method is biased to keeping BTC, and is relatively conservative. You can also bias it toward LTC, and instead have say 25 LTC at each sat level mentioned above, instead of 0.2 BTC.
If a buy level hits, I then move to sell them 50k sats higher. So, if I bought 50 LTC at .004, I would then "sell" them at .0045. Basically it's just a game of accumulation and distribution at each price 50k sat price point. My "profits" I will usually just roll back in, so eventually, I may have 0.25 BTC per level (which increases the profit per move). Or you can use your "profits" for other purposes. This method can be slower than method #1, but it is relatively "safer". I'm a long-term BTC believer, so I prefer to stay mainly in BTC (as opposed to fiat), and potentially increase my stash this way.
At lower price levels, where prices don't fluctuate much, you would have fairly high profits for each "hit", but it may be days or weeks between hits. At higher price levels, there is usually a lot more price movement, but the profit per "trade" is lower. If the price does get well above your initial buy in and bubbles, you can obviously just cash out and start over during the abovementioned accumulation phase (or move to another coin, etc.).
Overall, these strategies don't include any technical analysis, but it still keeps me "trading". Obviously these strategies may not work for everyone (they may be fairly conservative and too tame for some), but just the ones I prefer at this time.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

Yeah, I tried about a month ago for about a week straight, including right after midnight local time (and UTC), and they said they were out of funds (right after I saw the banner ad that they were trying to sell the site). So I also agree this site is probably dead.

My thoughts: Every huge buy wall over the past few days was the dev. When enough people places bids around/above his huge walls, he removed his buy orders and dumped a couple million. Rinse/repeat. As you can now see from the Top 50 distributions on Trex, almost 30M coins (out of 42.2M or so per block explorer: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/hire/) are now "distributed", so the dev is either out of coins, or getting close. I suspect the down-to-50-sat dump earlier today was the bottom, and there may be some recovery over the next few days. I'm not saying there isn't anything shady going on (there definitely seems to be), I'm just saying that we may now see some normal variability as the dev coins are now almost (if not all) gone. Most accumulators won't be dumping anytime soon, so people may start to get in slowly for the possible good upside gambling scenarios.

http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrencyPlug in your mining specs, have the website calculate which coins are the best to mine, in near real-time format. All coins with a similar hashing algorithm should be fairly similar though. Please note though that if you are plugging a lot of hashing onto a lower power network, the difficulty could raise significantly, though I'm sure you are well familiar with this.

Withdrew 1 BTC just fine yesterday, it's seems like it's a tier verification issue.

I have been able to withdraw BTC just fine (about 3 hours ago), appeared on the Blockchain quickly like normal. Took awhile to get confirmed though, for whatever reason.

Someone put in a 2500 or so BTC buy order at $210, it's been trying to resolve for 10 minutes now.

I used Coinbase once back in early July. As mentioned above, it took a few days to process, but they indicated that would be the case before I purchased my BTC. So, I did not have any issues otherwise.
