There should be a way to exclude botnets...
For example, some kind of notification once a week that's hardcoded into the miner. Also, pools should only accept miners that have this notification feature (e.g. by checking the hash of the miner code).
At least, this would ensure that the pools are bot-free...
Further, the original Bitcoin client should have the same feature.
I know that this would only temporarily stop the botnetters, but at least it gives us time to invent a better solution to protect the real Bitcoiners from hordes of Bots.

I liquidated my 12 month mining hoard at $15.5.
As I write this, the price on Mt Gox just dropped through $13 and is at $12.75. Way back in April, 2011, one could buy a bitcoin for a dollar. I speculate that we will return to at least the April price level as the bubble deflates.

i blame the hackers who are zombie farming btc and dumping them on the market.. this shizle could go on for years
well, i hope nobody expect stable exchange prices to bitcoins when is all so new and prices is not so much coupled with real goods markets
right now we sell $ or € for bitcoins or buy bitcoins in exchange of $ or € ... until will begin to sell and buy bitcoins to real goods, real meals, real popcorns, real houses and so on, will be a wild market
mtgox 12.75 $

In my case it wasnt panic I think its trending down time to bale, now 12.75 @ mtgox 
I sold at 17 something. And Have my buy order in for when it hits a number I like.... love people who panic sell..
Indeed. I just wish that it didn't take so *LONG* for $ to get to Dwolla from my bank. I'm new at this and don't have funds available where I can get them into the 'bitcoin system' quickly. I want to scoop up some of these panic sells!

Well I bought in at 16.10 and just sold at 13.00 after mtgox kept going down, now the price is very unstable got to 12.50 now it's at 13.00
a) Why did you buy them?
b) Why did you sell them?
I hope this is just the usual jitter... It'd be bad if prices went down for a longer period.
Bought some Coins just the other day just to see prices drop down today
