So what's happening with this Darksend "de-anonymiser" ? Is it happning or is the guy full of bs ?
I am not sure about that guy but someone bough a shit load of Darkcoins on Cryptsy. My guess is a) it was someone with an insider information who knows some major fix/event is coming up or b) Trolls realized that their FUD isn't working and the price won't go down any further so they decided to buy in before the world finds out about InstantX which I am guessing is gonna be very very soon. When InstantX and the Darksend fix is out, I am pretty sure it will be all over at Fox, CNN, Forbes and so on again.
Am I looking at this oversimplistically?
If there is a question mark over Darkcoin (viable exploit/vector or not) then why would somebody go out and buy huge chunks of DRK?
I would expect price to drop on uncertainty and either recover if it turns out to be bullshit or drop further if it turns out to be true.
Can somebody explain to me how having inside info would in some way drive the price higher given today's (unproven) circumstances?
More examples: CNN contacted Evan and asked about InstantX and informed him that soon they are gonna have a story about Darkcoin and how it might revolutionize Crypto world. First a) Evan buys lots of Darkcoins, knowing that soon story is gonna be aired. b) Someone at the team in CNN realizes that once aired this news is gonna raise the Darkcoin price so he buys shit load of coins before the story is aired.
