[/center]I think RP has had enough coffee for today. Look at the size of that mug!
Yawn.. this isn't nearly as entertaining as I thought it would be.
Is Monero being attacked or not? If someone is performing a TW attack is there any way to tell?

From my experience with time warps attacks it takes a couple of days before the symptoms start to occur, but when they do....the chaos is sweet.
~BCX~
Will the devs keep the exchanges locked for days?
If you were successful and if you know the problem can be fixed, so presumably you would buy XMR cheap and ride it back up to recoup your expenses?
I am contemplating that you really didn't want the hassle and risk of this but you were pushed into it as your reputation was slandered?
What the hell is this ??

Somebody used 17,000 black coin ($1000) to buy some monero (about 0.06 total) at a stupid high price on bittrex.
You may notice how easily these 'market capitalization' figures can be manipulated.
I sincerely hope that whoever bought that was buying their own sell order.
The sell order was 25k BC there. This is an illiquid market.
In 30 minutes, as a precaution against the attack threat, XMR deposits and withdrawals will be frozen for 24 hours and all funds put in cold storage.

So how did the attack go? I've been away and am not currently up to date. Are my bbr and xmr worthless yet?
Good blog post with recap of recent XMR "attack": http://bullbearanalytics.com/2014/09/23/whats-going-monero/
Thanks for the link. Very informative and well conceived events timeline.
It was a strong contribution, because it captured the essential events succinctly and dispassionately. It makes accessible to the uninvolved the gestalt of living through the experience in real-time.
That tends to indicate the value of their reporting service, to those who have more money than time. (Among whom I should count myself.)
It might have mentioned that BitcoinEXpress threatened in the trollbox, but that the verification of identity post was deleted, and that other aliases were used in the trollbox in the manner and style of BCX to express vague threats to the exchange, creating a generalized plausible deniability of the link between the trollbox and BCT identities (and hence providing deniability to the link between BCT's "BCX" and poloniex's "BCX".
It might have mentioned that other mitigation efforts were ongoing, to defuse the risk of any hypothetical pending attack. It might have mentioned the (textual evidence) that BCX was a known person, a U.S. resident, and that the actual act threatened would be a federal crime in the U.S. I found these aspects to be important elements of the real-life drama.
Still, the actual content was well done, as far as it went.

Is it possible that the BTC price jump earlier today was a fewMonero holders (or just one?) dumping XMR for BTC, for fear of the announced attack?
The reason of the price jump was the news of PayPal's Bitcoin integration
yeah this fact slipped past most people. Bitcoin went up $50 a day... kind of echos the mini-pump we saw with the Newegg announcement but it then went back down.
Still frozen on Bittrex. This mean it's dead? 
Monero cant be traded on bittrex anymore?
Sounds like Cyprus with frozen bank accounts all over again. One thing if there was a fatal flaw that required time to fix, but freezing transactions due to a threat? Is XMR really this fragile?
Apparently not.

mmmm....
Why dumping XMR to buy USD for buying thousands of BTC on a BTC/USD exechange (or more than one)?
Is it feaseable? I don' think so. Way to much money involved, maybe more than the entire monero market cap.
Does it make sense?
No, it doesn't make sense to me. Why going through USD? Just sell XMR and buy bitcoins.
Is it fixable or is itnot really annonymous?
