What are the perfect conditions for a pump & dump? Unstable exchange rate or something else ?
You have to look the marketing and also :
What is the target audience ? Is it nicely written ? More visual than technical ? Is there enough hysterical noob account ?
The variance come from the noobs that buy when it goes up and sell when it goes down. It's called weak hand shaking.
When you know it, you sell when it's high and buy when it's low. Repeat. Profit.
How much BTC will it take for you to put up or shut up? We both know it's because you can't crack it. Once rev 2.0 comes out the XC dev, Dan Metcalf, will put up a huge bounty. I'm sure it will be enough for you. I will hunt you down at that time.
You cannot crack a cryptocurrency because it's encrypted. We are talking about demonstrating that it is possible to know the amount of coins on an address and find who sent to that address, nothing more.
I'll definitely have a look if the bounty is enough.
If you are talking about the market cap, consider that XMR devs or holders do not give a shit about it.
Not true... speak for yourself, Monero Shill Emeritus.
All coin holders care about the value of their investments...
And the Monero thread goes hysterical when XMR takes a 50% hit like the last 10 days.
Yes you hear me : Variations that happen in a 10 days span have no importance when you are holding for at least 6 months and probably 1 year.
Too many people are looking for an ultra-quick profit. It is not gonna work. Most people will lose.
In a pump and dump you are either a scammer or a victim.
You should read rpietila if you want to understand about investment in cryptos :
rpietila Wall Observer - the Quality TA Thread 
rpietila Altcoin ObserverFor the convenience, here's Monero Cult Dogma off the top of my head:
(1) Monero is the next Bitcoin.
(2) ONLY Monero has good anon technology, CryptoNote ring signitures.
(3) Bytecoin and BCN Devs... who developed CryptoNote technology... ARE EVIL.
(4) All competing anon coins must be attacked and destroyed.
(5) Investors, XMR value, user convenience, a GUI wallet, etc is of no importance...
ONLY the glacial plans and work of the part-time Monero Devs matter... even if it takes 100 years.
(1) Monero (or any anonymous coin) have a totally different purpose than Bitcoin : Bitcoin is for transparency at any time, that's the purpose of having a blockchain, with address and transactions. You didn't know that ?
(2) The technology is the same for all cryptonote coins.
(3) The early miners of BCN are total assholes for mining a cryptocurrency over 80% for years without talking about it on bitcointalk. Even today, they still didn't make an official announcement. It is called a ninja-mine.
It has nothing to do with the devs though, I don't know why you confuse both.
(4) There are no real anonymous coin. The cryptonote technology or the Zerocoin technology are not complete. All the rest is bullshit and do not deserve any attention.
(5) An anonymous crypto MUST BE anonymous first. Sexy wallet and fan base won't make it anonymous. The problem is that if you repeat a lie enough, it become the truth in the mind of dumb people.
