did you see the order manipulation happening on bittrex right now on XC? are those bots?

I am wondering to, about those orders on Bittrex.

Yup, they are bots.  I hate trading with bots, thats why I am not too keen on Bittrex (a lot of bot trade) and why I used to like Mintpal.  Mintpal it seems had one or two XC traders who had bots, but they were small trades and just seemed to bridge the gap between buy and sell.
