Title: Another dip in the market price...
Post by: MoonShadow on October 08, 2010, 10:32:02 PM
Dagnabbit!  I missed another one!  The currency price on MtGox has fallen to under a cent and the volume shot through the roof.  I know no other details, but I looks like someone wanted to be a major market mover.

That didn't last long, now the price bounced back up to over 8 cents.  Glitch, maybe?

I'm pretty sure that was a sw glitch though, as I and a lot of others had open orders to buy way over 0.01 and nothing got sold. As I understand it if someone was selling for 1c they would get served with the bids above that first.

yeah it was a glitch,

I went to but an ask of .1c and accidentally put .01c, doh.

MtGox for some reason allowed the sale @.01 cent, rather than .087c which was the highest offer at the time.

Thankfully, MTGox (Mr. Gox???) is an absolute legend, and corrected the sale for me before I even finished typing an email to him. although, the transaction is still showing in the charts. (Hope he can fix that too, it looks silly.)

Once again, Mr Gox, thanks for that, your a top bloke,  or chick, but i'm assuming bloke.
