For those who haven't been keeping with our competitors this weekend...

Cryptcoin has exploded spectacularly immediately after that BTC-E rumour pump.

XC just announced lolzy marraige plans with an obscure alt called CacheCoin! Plans include swapping each-others core features, synch each-others live blockchains so they can do things to each-other, doing a "complete rewriting of the satoshi codebase", and making everything work on something called "proof of blockchain". Maybe someone had a sale on hot air & whitepapers. Despite a lots of publicised photo ops happening at the same time XC has fallen amongst disbelieving protests from the less gullible XC people, but tiny CacheCoin has already jumped from 90th to 67th in market cap in a few hours (no doubt the insiders who knew about the marraige have done very well for themselves).

However tempting it might be please don't go trolling them when they're down, it's entertaining enough just to sit with popcorn.
