It seems it takes some practice with EtherDelta to get the hang of things. It's also not in real-time so patience is required.
There are some fat fingers spiking the price high, up to $1500 per VERI. These are for relatively small amounts.
Excuse me?
coinmarketcap...
VERI: $534.32 (516.53%)
Is this one of those weird spikes again?
Edit: just read your post Fern, would that have been the cause of the price spike? Is it really that easy to push VERI into the top 10, in terms of market cap, on coinmarketcap.com, if only temporarily? Makes me wonder if this was really fat-fingered.
