It's interesting to see the price rise in the last couple of hours here.
Now, the team put out a message yesterday morning about good news coming - price hardly moved (+-5 SAT)
Come today, when the issue of blocks solved per hour is lower than expected, and there's 100% price rise......
Maybe I can't see the tree for the woods here, but when there's good news (yesterday), no-one pays attention, but when there's some bad news, people are flooding in to buy!
This was all a MintPal operation. Cryptsy lagged substantially, all the way, and was obviously a sympathy play, or arbitrage as they call it. This has all the characteristics of an intentional pump and I would be very careful. The base I described held after the breakout above descending resistance and a backtest. From a technical standpoint, this is very textbook, but the single exchange gunning OVERNIGHT creating a setup for an awakening US market has me very suspicious. With the algo change from scrypt to scrypt+ (
scrypt plus a couple of other algos meaning that it's still scrypt in essence) and other obvious issues like the nagging question as to how the Dev team could possibly be unaware of the blocks solved issue . . . and if they were, well, I don't know if that's not even worse - both are horrible indications long term. I'm 100% out. Sorry, I was looking for something ex-scrypt to begin with, and now with serious doubts about the long term prospects, I can't justify holding DGB. Good luck to everyone who stays.
