LTC RIP due to Atlantis shutdown?
Nah, it wasn't Atlantis that drove LTC price above BTC0,01, though it played a part. General speculation, particularly over Mt Gox trading LTC with its new engine, probably drove it a lot more. I don't think that's the end of Litecoin, any more than SR closing would signal the end of Bitcoin. But what is the LTC good for now? buying BTC |

Just an excercise in free and anonymous market strategies:
If operators of SR were selfish assholes (they seem to be nice folks, but let's forget that for now), they would absolutely start a fake competitor, then scam users and vanish. They get free press (every Atlantis article mentions SR), they get coins, they distract the authorities and divert their resources, and they make themselves look great in comparison.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Is there any way how often this market strategy can be executed, I mean for optimal profit? |

Is the owners personal information known? How can they shut down without allowing people to withdraw and not be sued?

im laughing at the question because if anyone knew who they were they wouldn't be running swindling Atlantis. Not everyone is edward snowden. The assholes who ran atl used cryptocat for an interview when the people who wrote it dont even claim to have a full grasp on crypto, of course someone found a vuln which was patched but not without the dev of cryptocat getting a severe lyrical asswhooping by the guy who found the hole. I'll dig for sources and update this post momentarily. Its pretty interesting stuff.

Is there any way how often this market strategy can be executed, I mean for optimal profit? Yes, however the equation is a trade secret. It's based in quantum mechano-economics. If it were revealed to the public, it would quit working. |

But that is too much effort, and they even risk losing their existing customers. It is illegal, anyways so i do not think it is a good idea. |

EDIT - in the light of revelations from the FBI files, the chief operator of SR was a total ass. Murder-for-hire level ass. Just saying. He had all these memorable quotes, all while being a total ass. Not as bad, deceptive, and murderous as a typical president of his country, but still. |
