Huge Bitcoin sell off due to a compromised account - rollback
The bitcoin will be back to around 17.5$/BTC after we rollback all trades
that have happened after the huge Bitcoin sale that happened on June 20th
near 3:00am (JST).
Service should be back by June 20th 10:00am (JST, 01:00am GMT) with all
the trades reversed and accounts available.
One account with a lot of coins was compromised and whoever stole it (using
a HK based IP to login) first sold all the coins in there, to buy those
again just after, and then tried to withdraw the coins. The $1000/day

Hey all, I’d like to give you an update about the state of the Twitter Platform and hopefully provide some much requested guidance.
Since this time last year, Twitter use has skyrocketed. We’ve grown from 48 million to 140 million tweets a day and we’re registering new accounts at an all-time record. This massive base of users, publishers, and businesses is a giant playground for developers to build their own businesses on, and this means the opportunity has grown for everyone.
With more people joining Twitter and accessing the service in multiple ways, a consistent user experience is more crucial than ever. As we talked about last April, this was our motivation for buying Tweetie and developing our own official iPhone app. It is the reason why we have developed official apps for the Mac, iPad, Android and Windows Phone, and worked with RIM on their Twitter for Blackberry app. As a result, the top five ways that people access Twitter are official Twitter apps.
