Let's DDoS people, everybody start hitting refresh. Go.

Today they made 12M US$ volume. At 0.20% fee that's an annualized rate of 8.6M$ of profit. That should buy enough servers to handle legit or illegit clients, depending on how powerful the other side might be.

Consider how much they earn per day, the quality of service provided by them is infuriating. They act like a start-up.

lol. is Mark Karpeles investing the money in sushi shops? must be sitting on a great pile of cash by now.


back up 19:28 UT 5 hours down.

Price went from 120$ to 110$. Outages at these volume levels are inexcusable. we will see what happens at the next volume peak.

They probably make 5-10 times that by manipulating the market...
Like engineering 10% price swings every few days.

They are a monopoly...
And they are not making squat on those "low" fees...
Read between the lines.
