Just wondering – is the logo bounty already open for submissions?

It's very simple explanation. Whales are signaling that it's time to accumulate. Sooner or later they start their game. And 1-2 BTC buy walls are nothing comparing to real 5-20 BTC buy walls placed during pumps. You have to learn how to decode order books. :-)

And when these 5 to 20 BTC buy walls are set they are placed there to make people buy up the coins that these whales have already purchased at a cheaper price? Is that accurate of these types of signals? Because people that don't know much keep placing their buy orders above the buy walls and the whales just keep dumping their cheap coins into the buys just above their buy walls?

You gotta good point there and that makes quite a bit of sense too

It's hard to show light, when everyone is, a Bitcoin Whore !

Let me give you some good advice. If you have bought already, just wait, don't panic sell if somebody starts dumping bigger amounts. If there is no really bad news, then usually just individual sellers dump what they need and it's over. And if no positive news are coming, dumping will continue too so there is chance to buy cheaper. Just don't get fooled by this because sometimes no news is comming for purpose just to get coins cheaper and when the price is on its bottom, suddenly news popup everywhere and price shoots up from bottom. So if you want to make real profit, set some low buy orders and wait. I believe the price might drop down again to 15-20 SAT before POW ends. If your low buy orders are not filled before the train leaves, don't be sad. You still have chance to buy because usually the price doesn't rise constantly and there are some dips on the way up. OR just forget this coin and find another one with some better profit potential. I personally invest all profits from other coins in BlackCoin as it has so far one of the best liquidity among all altcoins and for the last 1 year it has been holding its bottom floor quite strongly. So if you missed all trains recently, for example now BC is on its minimum, although it still has chance to drop to 6-7K but I'm pretty sure in few weeks again chinese guys will pump it to 10-12K if not higher. This is again situation that no news are coming, so people start loosing confidence and selling but I already know after BC whales accumulate enough coins again, suddenly twitter will be full of BC and the price will jump by 30% in 12 hours.   And look on PayCoin, gawminers also let it drop from 0.05 to 0.03 and now they pump it like crazy again with huge buy walls.

There are millions of combinations, there are no rules in crypto, it's wild west. What I'm pretty sure is that 98% of new coins released are made just for quick profit and holding those coins long term is just fairytale. There are too many bagholders in every coin. What crypto world needs desperately is mass adoption of bitcoin and new investors but it's vicious circle because investors don't invest while crypto is not widely adopted and crypto can't get widely adopted without constant influx of new capital. I think PayCoin is now trying to break this circle by pouring millions into XPY and surrounding infrastructure but it's really questionable what is gawminers' real mission because there is too much FUD around that coin saying it's just another ponzi scheme of epic proportions.

So with bitcoin rising, also some technically mature altcoins can flourish. I believe one day it will happen and it can be all of a sudden. For example if russian rubble keeps falling more, russians will try to convert it to some "stronger" currency and it could be bitcoin. But currently it seems China has major influence on crypto so with every good or bad news in China you can predict the direction of bitcoin price and consequently also some altcoins.

Solo block with a GPU?
I think it's quite impossible. Or you just got so much luck.

impossible ? already hit and confirmed 9
but mining non stop for few days
last 36 hours hit nothing..
i think satoshi himself preferred solo mining vs pool mining. and this coin is tribute for him so i only solo

  That's a good start haha. My face will look like that when NKT will hit 500 SAT.
