Ok, so let's clear it down

stock reacted - 12:30 PDT, 14 May
CNET article - 16:47 PDT, 14 May
tweet i tracked down - 12:51 PDT, 14 May

Anyone?

First appearance on the forum AFAIK:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dwolla-can-no-longer-process-deposits-or-withdrawals-to-mtgox-205403

Now, reordering, and killing the PDT stuff (kudos for getting the D in there and not calling it PST during DST) for the world that is not California... PDT is UTC -8.0 so:

Forum thread --  19:31 14 May UTC
stock reacted* --  20:30 14 May UTC
Tweet thing   --   20:51 14 May UTC
CNET article   --    0:47 15 May UTC
 
*you believe this is the point where the stock reacted due to a Dwolla scare


Seems reasonable. For those who don't follow links, the forum thread was a post stating that the member had "just received" notice from Dwolla that the USDHS and the Maryland courts had issued them some paper crap regarding Mt Gox and their business, and would not be doing Dwolla <-> Gox for a hot minute.



Thanks for clearing this down. Yes, the stock went down due to this, I am sure for 90%. Funny to watch it. I am curious which tools do they use because I don't think the high volume traders crawl forum and tweets manually

Anything special is often homebrew and/or repurposed open source. Most folks that serious about it also won't be keen to download anything they can't compile Wink

Wouldn't surprise me if people find out here on these forums, since this is a hub for bitcoinites. Also wouldn't surprise me if the big-money-players in bitcoin were also here on this very forum, big-enough to move the price of 'coin which will panic other traders who are not so informed, thereby creating a chain reaction Smiley

As you can see, BTC is going through minor crash because of the news about US Homeland security cuts off Dwolla from Mt.Gox. It is clear that this new started sellout at 14 May 12:45 PDT however the news at CNET are from 16:47 PDT the same day.

My question is how do they know so quickly? Which tools are used here for flash news?

I am little skeptical some trader will share but I am asking anyway, if you want to answer me privately, you can PM me.
