Understanding the situation
-
With the way some o these people rabidly attack FTC on BTCe it doesnt surprise me that someone has some sort of agenda to hurt FTC. Although I was making more mining BTC with my little rig so that I could buy more FTC than I could normally mine , I have switched back to mining FTC for now on give-me-ftc.com to help keep the network hashrate up. I also stand firmly behind you when sh**talking takes place in the BTCe trollbox whenever possible.
-
As we were approaching 160 the other day there were a few people in the trollbox encouraging people to buy because of the block reward in coming. I don’t remember their names but given what happened afterwards with that vicious bot sliding the price up and down with the fake walls on both sides of the order book this is all starting to smell a bit rotten.
How on earth did 2m coins get on to the exchange?
-
Getting my first weekly pay on Friday (a week to go) as well as $75 on the 29th or 30th, FTC here I come. I will be sad if FTC goes to 0.001 again :'( as in I’ll have to pay more BTC :D
-
Isn’t it possible to know where the attack is from? They need 50% so it is not a secret… Who has that 50%?
-
It’s most likely a rogue pool which is not listed anywhere.

Is that a problem that block 33107 is empty without any transactions other than the “generation” reward?

It’s not so much a problem as it is an anomaly. The most likely explanation is a miner ignored all the transactions and mined the block on purpose that way. If enough miners did this, the time to confirm a transaction would increase, and THAT would be a problem.

I do believe that the price is going to rise but I don’t know if I will be able to recover my loss. I went all in and then the price just fell like a rock. The problem is, I am a small investor (like really small…) and now I am just stuck and the hash rate has been steadily going down as well… So, this situation does shake your confidence a bit…
[/quote]I have full sympathy for you if you bought at around 0.003/2. The price will recover, you just have to be patient. Its not that you have much of an option now, as the price is so low you can’t recover much if you decide to sell now anyways.
I am a really small investor too and have managed to trade a few other alts to get BTC which I have spent to get FTCs. I now have over 200. I am now kicking myself for not selling my FTCs at high prices as I could have increased my FTCs by a large amount. Its a shame to see so much cheap FTC out there with me unable to buy. IMO we will never see these prices ever again.

[/quote]Looks okay to me. Perhaps something was up with the explorer or web server when you looked.
