can someone tell me why the action always happens over night? Are chinese players buying up the market?
Chinese, australian... Since BitCoin doesn't seem to get a break in these regions, it could very well be these folks need an alternative. They might have found just that in BlackCoin, who knows

But i love waing up to this in the morning, that's for sure!

Aussie here. We love gambling and spending money. This is better than gold or the races at the moment

.
But it's not easy for us to buy bitcoin. We either have to transact on forums or convert from aus -> usd, or use a 3rd party wallet.
The Aussie market is still very much untouched.
