Of course the market is being “manipulated”,- by normal and whale traders playing what is basically a game of poker with each other. This is normal and how a market is formed, especially in the early stages with an illiquid market and uncertain asset value. This is nothing to worry about.
By the way, JR and the Mastercoin guys have nothing to do with masterxchange. Mastercoin originally intended to set up an exchange but took too long, so a couple of french guys picked up the ball and are running with it. Good luck to 'em I say.
PS, its crashing now but don’t fall for the ploy - it will definitely bounce back up. A “manipulator” wants to buy coins cheap so started a stampede…mooooooo…

Ahh…but the MSC crew got a disproportionate amount of MAID, they all know each other…and they controlled the only exchange for most of this year. Sounds like the perfect storm.
Ever wonder why we’re not on Bter and MSC is? Control.
Who are these manipulators? You say large and small? Seems as if the only guy advertising he’s a "market maker’ for maidsafe is a former MSC employee (I found his profile on sf safepod). Might be fun to ask him what that means

Work for Goldman Sachs by any chance? 
I repeat that I understand MSC, JR, or Mastercoin have nothing to do with Masterxchange, nor ever have had - their project was called something else. Whoever this random guy claiming to be JR of Mastercoin, neither of which has anything to do with the Exchange has to say is just pure trolling, fud and conspiracy theory as far as I can tell…unless you have any corroborating evidence of course?
LOL.
Great hoax then. He answered questions about mastercoin for about 1/2 an hour, and then got comfortable and mentioned the hidden trades he had. Lo and behold, 2 months later…iceberg trades are possible on masterxchange.
After a bit we started chatting about bots & market movement on MSC foundation payday (the day some contract workers cashed out on masterxchange). Someone made a comment about seeing a pattern, and JR snickered and said you couldn’t see his trades.
I’m not sure how to mine the troll box, but the information is there…

Well, were supposed to be open…so give us more detail.
Here is his profile.
“Taariq Lewis - Worked on Mastercoin, Counterparty, colored Coins and Ripple. Currently a market maker for SAFECOIN”
He’s advertising it, so I guess it’s fair game to post on here

Sorry, the whole thread has become confusing, due to the use of MSC
Please spell-out the complete story using full wording ala Maidsafe, MaidSafeCoin, SAFEcoin, MasterCoin, MasterCoin Devs, MasterCoin Foundation etc
A chronological sequence would be welcomed…not dates, just order of how you see things have occurred.
The more detail, the better…it’s important we get the fullest picture possible from your side.

Speaking of volume, past 24H volume of MaidSafeCoin is not even $ 9K. That’s very low compared to other days, looks like there’s a standoff between buyers and sellers today on whether the price is going up or down.
