Price is starting to recover.
Any idea what caused the crash?
It wasn't any of the things listed above.
Did a whale move or something?
(Also,88.208.1.24 is still very concerning - to me, it looks like a trial run of a network of datacenters working together to be able to overtake the bitcoin network... and you realize, they don't have to take over forever - just long enough to screwup the chain and crash the BTC price. GO AMERICA! Where's my I love NSA, you love NSA image.......)

So, the price of bitcoin crashed like 15% in the last 24 hours, with the adoption of the new unnecessary 0.8.4, the still guarenteed threat of more war in the middle east, and now 88.208.1.24.

This IP, supposedly from Virginia, has more processing power than the world has ever seen before. (speculation)
They discovered 3 blocks in one ten minute period, and another 3 blocks in a 14 minute period.
That makes them capable of a 51% attack.
WHO ARE THEY AND WILL THEY RAPE THE NETWORK?
