This is based on TradeByTrade exchange. The volume was around $18. So this is just someone placing market order on a huge spread.
Thanks for the clarification ethos777. Wish you told a small white lie and said "oh, yes. that's the price of dnotes. i'm secretly a dnotes whale and decided to push up the price. this is my gift to the community

"
Hah, when I woke up and saw my balance on cointracking.info I thought that I can quit my job. What a disappointment when I saw the volume!
Lol I had the same idea when I saw my balance in my Vault. To be honest I don't think its a disappointment. It was a nice surprise and just imagine how it will feel when it actually happens. I have my fingers crossed for any price above $1
