I take my words/thoughts back.

I observed the trade very closely today, and i come to realize and admit-
THERE IS someone dumping drk, pushing the price down, slowly but surely.

Althouygh I must admit that since most of us here are realy keen on this coin and hold our coins closly, this guy is going us a favor helping distribute the coins to more people. 

But coming back to the price manipulation, even if we exaggerate to assume he has 200k coins (6% of all coins circulated), and he dumps 10k coins every day (he dumped over 6,000 coins in the past hour), then he will be out of coins in 20 days...
I estimate that's exactly when we will be set to launch from beta into open source...
as the saying goes - "bring it on..."
