1) Satoshi got hacked, the email adress popped up recently, his Bitcoins get dumped. Since all Altcoins reference their trade value on that, going down in flames too. Should be visible inside Blockchain analysis.
Pretty unlikely this is happening. People would notice it I think and be shouting it from the rooftops if those coins moved at all. The noob troll accounts do shout this every time there is a drop. It helps me to identify them for 'ignore' processing (cleared 3 this morning). At first I used to check the blockchain. Finally I signed up for my own account that I might exercise that little button, making lurking bearable again.

A lot of people (and their alarm bots) are paying attention to those addresses.

Just a bloody period for all crypto over the last couple of months.
Still trying to do work on indexing, but I have a record of coinmarketcap showing total crypto cap at $8.6 billion on August 4th.
Just two months later, we're at $4.6 billion for a whopping 46.5% slide. Not a lot of hiding places.
Total Market Cap: $ 4,639,741,579 Last updated: Oct 05, 2014 3:30 PM UTC 24h change -9.28 % for the top three, some doing as worse as -18.60 % (XMR). No hiding place anywhere, with the exception of "BitShares PTS" but that is a small one. That is the mess, now where is the reason? Is it: 1) Satoshi got hacked, the email adress popped up recently, his Bitcoins get dumped. Since all Altcoins reference their trade value on that, going down in flames too. Should be visible inside Blockchain analysis. 2) Some other party sells on a grand scale. I remember there had been huge reserves inside Silkroad and MtGox. Traceable. 3) People distrust information technology now since the Snowden incident, so they sell (many small private holdings) 4) The other reason, it is not to many sells but lack of buying support. Should be visible in comparing the Orderbooks with history data (which I do lack) 5) Generall lack of interest since private people cannot mine Bitcoins anymore on their desktops. Duh, difficult one ... Difficulty is still high. But how to know where the Hashrate originates from? edit: 6) self fullfilling prophecy taking place outside of the Altcoins. BTC gets sold because the price dips, with the intention of buying back in on a cheaper value. Hence the price dips further. This starteded 2~3 days ago or http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/2iauh9/ohcc_exchange_partnership_and_the_fractional/ ?

Please someone make available the general index of altcoins vs. BTC how it's been doing in the time of carnage. (over the course of a few weeks, and also since the dropping through the latest floor)
I would say 10-20 largest altcoins would be good for the index, but I also heard indices with established methodologies exist.

There's some talk in XMR threads that it has performed poorly, but some also say that it is better than most. A factual comparison would be really good obviously! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

A factual comparison would be really good obviously! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm collaborating with a domain expert subscriber to this forum, working to develop something that would seem to broadly satisfy the requirement, the project's working title is "SandRaiser", btw. I've been engaged in backfilling the data, it needs a bit more work but I should have something for you to look at later today (TZ=BST). There are three indexes at the moment and a couple in speculative development : 1. FullMonty/+ - all altcoins with a calculable marketcap (very rough and ready, obv) 2. Key30/+ - top 30 coins by marketcap 3. NonMinables - an index of PoS-only coins. 1 & 2 are presented with and without LTC, hence the "/+" and have been balanced at August 23. 3 is balanced separately about a week ago (can't recall offhand). The arithmetic is based on the equations laid out in S&P maths tech PDF docIs this the kind of thing you had in mind? Oh, I'll chuck this in, as well - add a few facts to the mix, I posted it a few days ago in a separate thread, it may well have escaped your notice: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FzENEOo9.png&t=665&c=eDAOlI9ClQdJcQ) Cheers Graham

Using mid august index start, measuring last 7D action of top 25 alts with market capitalisation in excess of 1MM USD they are down about 12%, XMR certainly not the best performer.

Sometimes it's good to do primary research. The thing I took for granted - that altcoins are shattered when BTC sneezes - has proven to be a myth of highest order: COIN CAP15SEP CAPNOW REMAINS REL/BTC BTC 670000 442211 66 % 0 % LTC 17350 12643 73 % 7 % DOGE 3260 2786 85 % 19 % PPC 1752 1848 105 % 39 % DRK 1342 1073 80 % 14 % NMC 1026 940 92 % 26 % PTS 559 620 111 % 45 % BTCD 721 401 56 % -10 % XMR 627 350 56 % -10 % BCN 280 200 71 % 5 % FTC 126 186 148 % 82 % QRK 252 178 71 % 5 % XRP 15053 13704 91 % 25 % BTSX 7327 5984 82 % 16 % NXT 3794 2513 66 % 0 % XCP 646 529 82 % 16 %
I selected Sept 15 to be the start of data due to that being the start of BTC fall (admittedly, it was selected to give a bad picture about BTC). My intention was to show that alts fall in sympathy, and generally leverage BTC's move down. This had been my experience with XMR. Now, the data seems to give quite an opposing testimony. Over this period of time, only two alts (XMR and BTCD) exceeded BTC's decline. When BTC declined by 34% (seen above as "66% remaining"), the basket of alts (I used cubic-root weighting) declined by only 17%. What do you think of this? ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

Perhaps due to all these new holders of BTC seeking some leverage. If BTC starts making a come back things could get pretty interesting. Especially because as you've shown, not much has happened to alts since Sept. 15th.

You didn't ask me, but I keep seeing these catch phrases applied to that coin: "Designing Profit" and "The Profit Network" Reading those lines make me want to never touch it in a million years. Sounds like something that you would find in an MLM scam.

From what I can tell XMR seems to attract many people such as yourself who have no interest in alts other than XMR itself. So perhaps all these XMR holders were under the impression that alts nose dived along with Bitcoin(I would have expected this as well for the most part I think) and sold off in anticipation of that.

What do you think of this? ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Yes over a three week period this there will be divergences but over a year or more the overall trend does follow across many altcoins. Here are some examples: Bitcoin, XBT/USD: 1 year BTC-E (For reference) http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/pair/btc/usd/btc-e/1-yearLitecoin, LTC/XBT: 1 year BTC-E http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/pair/ltc/btc/btc-e/1-yearPeercoin, PPC/XBT: 1 year BTC-E http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/pair/ppc/btc/btc-e/1-yearNamecoin, NMC/XBT: 1 year BTC-E http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/pair/nmc/btc/btc-e/1-yearAnonCoin, ANC/XBT: 1 year Cryptsy http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/pair/anc/btc/cryptsy/1-yearFreicoin, FRC/XBT: 1 year Cryptsy http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/pair/frc/btc/cryptsy/1-yearNow over a shorter period there are all sorts of divergences. It is also possible that the altcoin market is even anticipating an XBT/USD bull run. Then there are coin specific questions. It is no secret for example that XMR took a beating due to the BCX affair when was then followed by uncertainty regarding the emission rate. One also needs an alt-coin with a valid alternative to Bitcoin and with a community willing to support the coin over the long term. The merit of the alternative may even be less important than the community commitment. Freicoin may be an example of the latter.
