Among the options given, I think that the one that makes more sense is he being Gavin Andersen.

It looks like Gavin knows who satoshi is at least, and the fact that many are interestind in knowing who satoshi is, and haven't managed to get that info from gavin... has some weight in the theory that he may be him.

But do not really know.

It is funny as I was buying when the crash happening and it went down to around 360$, but I forgot a 410$ order I have placed. There was a temporary high while I was sleeping and the order filled   it was great. Bought again at a lower price.

I really hope for it to recover soon. It has stabilized at least. Cryptsy will be forgotten soon. In fact, there were warning signals everywhere about it, so it cannot be considered a blow which could not have been avoided. Hearn's letter is hard, but many people weren't listening to him anymore either.

And Bitcoin is still working ok as it is.

Bitcoin has faced another crisis, and as for the more global crisis... I doubt that bitcoin will be used as a refuge value. Only some desperate people will do that, as Bitcoin is too volatile and it is surrounded by a lot of uncertainty too.

Perhaps some big fish talking about bitcoin in positive terms would help.

A hard fork will indicate a high degree of disagreement among Bitcoin users, and for a currency to succeed, it is key that it is accepted by as much people as possible. Division in order to "win" and make the others accept your fork is going nowhere. If you divide once, you could divide twice or more, being accepted by less and less people each time.

Stability is more likely to come when supply/demand is about the same, or the difference in % is not great. A lot of trading volume does not equal stability (there might be lots of people buying, or lots of people selling and price moving without being stalble)

Looks good, although the layout is perhaps a little old-fashioned. I mean, it does not look like like a very new website, but as if the layout were designed some years ago.

Anyway, good effort and keep going!

I have tried to enter today, put my btc address, click on first faucet link (or second or third, it happens the same with all of them) and just a blank page with an ad on top appears, it does not work. Does it happen only to me?

That is one of the beauties of Bitcoin, you can watch big transactions happening and somewhat have some info about money moving from one account to another. With fiat, you never know when big ammounts are moving or not. Even if it is just for being curious.

I could hardly believe it is true when I read it, but the faucet really does what he promises: 100 satoshis or more without timer! average is much higher than the 100. Great.

Hope it is sustainable and we have free satoshis for a long time. Thank you very much.

It is incredible that I just register that site yesterday and made a small 50k satoshi investment. Now today it is "seized". They did not gave me the chance even to be hopeful about the site lol.

But it is better this way, probably would have invested more if it has remained online. Lesson learned.

That is quite true. I am holding other coins and the fall in price has been big. Plus, flycoin has staked two times for me today even though I do not own that much (about 7.9). Let's keep going fly!

Faucet looks good as for the high payout in a reasonable time. However, I do not trust much faucets that require around 40-50 claims in order to cashout. My experience is that some of then disappear before cashing out. I am not telling that yours is so, but it is not profitable for me to try those faucets when about half of them end not paying.

Sorry.

It is nice to be informed for those who take the risk to try. But be assured there is a high risk. Just think he can just make the first some transfers ok in order to make people trust him. Then, when transfers increase in volume he can just keep the btc without sending the paypal.

I agree that this is time to get profit, but do not even think it will be too long before the cryptsy thing is forgotten and price will raise again above the 400$. In fact, Bitcoin is pretty much the same as before this happened. Exchanges are always risky, and this one was being warned agains for months.

I agree that it is a hassle to use, and is more like gold than like an active and dynamic currency. I have a community (forum) not bitcoin related, and whenever I try to speak to its members about Bitcoin, it sounds too complicated to them. In fact, they do not even answer the post although I am the admin. Just read, find it troublesome, and ignore.

All that Hearn says may be true (I am not very updated on all that). However, Which is the interest in proclaiming dead a project in which you have been working for 5 years when other people still are going on working in it? I don't know. But I doubt that the interest is to just warn users.

I do not use anyone of those in the list. I use microwallet HD, which works fine for me, makes automatic backups and has enough security for what I need (although many will disagree). I suppose many others use it as well.

I believe Bitcoin will go on, even if it never gets to be what was intended to be (a currency to be used by people everyday). Perhaps it was born to be widely used and is going to be what we are seing now: more of an investment and a way to store money, with some transactions by a small group of people.

I think both Mike Hearn exit (who says he sold his coins too, and probably has close friends and relatives who did the same) and the cryptsy issue have a hand in this. By the way... it is a lot of coincidence isn`t it?

Think we should buy in lows, price should go up again.
