It usually sits below 10. On the Bitcointalk forum, where much of todays action is going down, users are reporting that their Bitcoin clients are crashing when they try to collect the coins.

https://tradeblock.com/bitcoinCoinwallet changed the strategy for their attack, but it's still working. This is really bad for bitcoin and for the price.
I think I will sell some of my BTC and buy it back for a lower price after this attack. We bounced so hard and due for a pullback anyway and once news of this attack spreads, it will force the price down lower. Might as well sell now and buy back even more BTC afterwards...the safer strategy.
