I noticed there is suddenly a large number of fake twitter accounts tweeting canned tweets about bitcoin.  Several dozen tweets an hour.  Maybe someone is trying to manipulate the price of bitcoin by doing this?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Perhaps a little thing called 'proof' could be offered? Just show us say, the top 10. Thanks in advance Smiley
