Compare this to October of last year when blocks were generated at close to 7 minutes per block.  That means now the network generates about 62 fewer blocks per day than last October.  This is equivalent to 1550 BTC less influx in bitcoin supply per day which means significantly less selling pressure in the market.
...

It takes about $1.33m of new fiat money coming into the bitcoin economy to buy up the total bitcoin supply increase of about 3600 BTC per day.  This is the lowest dollar amount it's been in a year and the lowest BTC amount it's been in almost 2 years.  In light of all this, I am strongly bullish.

Thank you for sharing that, we're all strongly bullish! Smiley

Make Bitcoin glow with ENIAC
Is that the first time difficulty has ever adjusted downwards?

Nope, it has happened many times before. But I think last time was february 2013. So it's the first time since the ASIC invasion started. It's quite a healthy sign because it shows that even that market is price sensitive. There was some worry that chinese farms with subsidized electricity and facilities would make it impossible for anyone in the West to compete. Then we would have had virtually all of the mining capacity inside the chinese "intranet". Which would be bad.

MtGOX: Report on the 2nd meeting of former clients with the bankruptcy trustee Kobayashi:
http://www.mtgoxprotest.com/
Some highlights:
* Kobayashi is trying to recover 13 M USD that Mark took from MtGOX for services, loans etc -- but he is resisting.
* The auditing firm concluded that the MtGOX database has been adulterated, and they don't know what to do.
* Kraken paid 300'000 USD to Kobayashi (not the other way around) to have a role in the investigations.

Ah, teh intoxicating intrigue of international finance Roll Eyes

My name is Kobayashi. I work for Keyser Soze.

So Coindesk is convinved these 50,000 auction coins will sell for significantly below market. Thoughts?

I am pretty sure everyone thought the coins would sell for significantly less than market price last time too but we all know that didn't happen.



As far as I know nobody knows what Draper paid for his coins. Correct?

Why would anyone have thought that?

Because they're smarter than a fruit fly?  

But it doesn't make sense, if they were going to sell them below market, why not just sell them at market.

   Coinapult ?

That is simply due to dumbphone to smartphone ratios currently. Soon smartphones will be everywhere. You do the math.
