Wall Observer - The PPC Price Speculation Thread

Well the 50 BTC wall was nearly all eaten. Right now we have 30 BTC in bids at 0.00114. Last trade at 0.00122. I think we’re going to continue to see a bear market in alts. PPC was one of the first to experience it so hopefully it will be one of the first to turn around but we’ll have to wait and see. I feel like fair market value per PPC right now should be around $0.10 and right now we’re at $0.15 so if we over correct to $0.08 that would take us back down near 0.00083 BTC as a potential bottom.

OK, a new low for BTC bids that I’ve seen: Total BTC bids: 185.38335102, current price 0.00116. The PoW block reward is up to 439.44 now. USD market cap: $2,712,560. I’m now looking for a USD market cap below $1,500,000.

You are right, bids had recovered only temporary, now they are again in the 180-220 range.

At least I observed the bearish channel is now a bit flatter. When I see this confirmed I will try to draw a TA picture :wink:

There’s a new tool for seeing PPC trades but for some reason the numbers in the chart don’t seem accurate to me compared to what I see on btc-e? http://www.gobitgo.com/charts/?chartID=1049

Another new BTC bid low: Total BTC: 151.19154469, less asks too: 779003.33845226 PPC for sale. Last: 0.00115. Maybe people are shifting to Sunny’s exchange from BTC-E?

Check out my site: http://coinmarketcap.com

I’m working on making longer term graphs for it.[/quote]

gliss I like your site. How do you decide which ones to track though? cryptocoincharts.info has a bunch that you don’t so far though you seem to have most of the main ones. Maybe make a second page for all the ridiculously obscure coins so they don’t annoy people loading the main page.[/quote]

I tracked the ones that were on a exchange with an available API. I see cryptsy has recently added an API, so I will add those other coins shortly.

The number of registered users here is the thing that surprised me out of these. For comparison bitcointalk has 123940 members and the litecoin forum has 4164 members right now. We also briefly touched 0.00092 which is a low that hasn’t been seen in a while.

Seems that yesterday was a bit of a rollercoaster ride (0.0009-0.0014). Was someone pumpin-and-dumping?

Today things seem to have stabilized a bit again. Price is 0.00115. Bids at BTC-E again a bit higher (300 BTC), but asks too are high (914K).

Give it a week to move up as the BTC diff went up.

I believe PPC has a lot of room to move up. This extreme surge in bitcoin difficulty may ultimately help PPC. The ASICs have been let loose.

Of course PPC is susceptible to this as well, but it looks like the majority of ASIC owners are pointed at BTC right now.

I was going to say PPC is made for ASICs. And ultimately that’s a good thing. When the current rush is over you’ll be able to buy USB ASIC mining sticks from Hong Kong for $5 - much cheaper than a GPU. Any particular trades people are making to take advantage of aberrations around difficulty change times? I’m thinking of something like a dividend capture strategy but not sure if there’s enough of a pattern to be tradable.

We’re over 3000 members here but I think most of them are spambots. Volume appears to be zero on two of the exchanges and 5 PPC on Bter. Looks like Sunny is still testing things out on the ppcoin.org/market right now. There’s a iiping - iiping exchange listed.

Thank you for the market report.

I have done a little research about the real PPC inflation rate and really it is the altcoin with the lowest inflation at the moment (except nearly-dead coins like BTE) and only a few % above BTC.

I’ve posted the analysis in the “PPCoin General discussion” section and on Bitcointalk.

The 82 BTC buy wall at 0.00105 has been eaten. We’ve touched 0.00100 a few times today. The 7 day chart on coinmarketcap.com is a very smooth decline in dollar terms. So far $35 has been raised for the logo design project. http://www.gofundme.com/ppcoinlogodesignfund

BTC-E trollbox just announcing a PPC pump :wink:

But be very careful. I will not increase my PPC position while pump is underway. Will place some bid orders near 0.001 or even lower when the dump happens, perhaps.

The logo design fundraiser is over 10% of the way to its goal now: $85/$800 collected. http://www.gofundme.com/ppcoinlogodesignfund
We were subjected to a minor trollbox pump today taking us from the day low of 0.00097 up to 0.00118 though it appears PPC is still much less susceptible to this kind of manipulation than others like FTC and CNC which experienced on the order of 50% moves today. Bitcoin has had a significant down day so it’s nice to see PPC doing better in USD terms relatively.

Pretty crazy day today for cryptocoins in general but at least on the technical side PPC appears to have fared better than FTC which has been 51% attacked, all other miner’s blocks orphaned and the chain replaced. Bitcoin has had some fairly large moves (24 hour range: $88.00 - $110.63). The PPC logo fundraiser is up to $90. A PPC giveaway has been started on bitcointalk and a few new people seem to be coming over here because of it. If these updates are helpful for you feel free to boost my karma over on the left.

Nice update!

I am watching the FTC issue closely, although PoS coins like PPC (as I understand it) are way harder to attack.

Anyone have any insight into how well PPC would withstand an attempted 51% attack as things stand today?
