Dear The Manipulator,

Would you please make the price stagnate less?

I would like it if it swung a huge amount each hour instead of taking a week as it does currently.  Much appreciated if you do this.

Do you have evidence of this?

Actually I think the goal here is to predict his moves to profit off them.

Mining wouldn't cost that much electricity if we went back to CPU mining.  Solidcoin v2 changed the hash scheme to promote CPU mining.  Perhaps bitcoin should do likewise?

It looks like we would rally right up today.  But every time the price raises slightly, someone suddenly out of nowhere dumps coins to force it down.

What I'm seeing today is a steady buying pressure combined with The Manipulator dumping massive coins to try to force the price down but people keep buying them.  And whenever it rallies, he dumps a bunch of coins to force it down.

The Manipulator is forcing the price down.  People keep trying to rally and whenever it starts rallying big, he dumps coins onto it to make the rallying stop.

It's happening again!

Doesn't it suck when you're in all the way above $6 and it crashes to $5?

What's the Sobi conference?

I am not sure, but I suspect these.

kjlimo,

I think they redid solidcoins so it's CPU mining only to make mining less gamable by lots of GPUs chained together.

Whew!!!  That was close.  I finally sold my last 3 bitcoins off at 6.20 that I bought at 6.14.  An 11 cent profit after Gox fees, but thankfully I came out without a loss.

Now it looks like it's going to drop.

I thought they'd allow withdraws via dwolla but not adding.  Instead they allow dwolla adding for a hefty fee and not withdraws.

Bitcoin7 allows dwolla withdraws but not dwolla adding.  This has made the volume on its site go to nothing.  I used to trade there before this happened.

Well I also bought 13 coins around $5.99 and sold them at $6.10.

This isn't that bad.  It may actually go back up.  I've actually not had every trade I make as a loss.  It's just I've had many incidences where it will drop several dollars seconds after I go all in and buy everything.

I wonder why Tradehill doesn't allow withdrawing funds through dwolla and the ways to add and withdraw funds to it are harder and take a percentage out instead of 25 cents.  Even its dwolla option uses some other service that takes a percentage out.

I bought hardly anything, about 5% of my available money.  If it collapses to cheap then it's like sacrificing a pawn in chess.

Holy crap it starts collapsing!
