About Bittrex. Just as curiosity.
I have noticed the deliberate bot pattern there.
I have checked many other quite new born or emerging cryptocurrencies which main trading exchange is Bittrex (sometimes they have some 2nd on or 3rd one like Cryptsy or Poloniex but the trade colume there is lower).
It appears that Bittrex bots tend to lower prices down to hover around certain BTC prices, ranging between
0.001, 0.0001, 0.00001, 0.000001, 0.0000001 BTC
up to
0.0014, 0.00014, 0.000014, 0.0000014, 0.00000014 BTC etc. (if the price is a bit larger than the decimation of 0.1 then it seems to be, because there is an interest in buying this certain cryptocurrency).
It seems self evident that prices very seldom reach more than these, like for example 0.00015, 0.000017, 0.0000016, 0.00000018 etc.
When this happens, it is becasue of sudden large amount of coin being purchased within short period of time. Then bots bring the price down again.
They use these bots delieberately to have the smallest prices to compete with other exchanges.

And many more...
In 80-90% of cases Bittrex offerrs the lowest prices in the market from all major exchanges out there.
I recommend abandoning this exchange and move to other exchanges like Poloniex, BTC-E anbd maybe even Bitter...
That's for the sake of your cryptos. Unless you are a speculant and spend thousands of BTC buying cheap cryptos on Bittrex and selling on another...
Maybe something is up with Bittrex. You guys might consider trying to find another exchange.
