Title: Whats wrong with MTgox?
Post by: zpinto on June 12, 2011, 10:29:22 AM
Has anyone noticed mtgox stopped?
Look at bitcoinmonitor, no transfer from mtgox, and cant buy or sell on mtgox.

Title: MtGox trading stopped now??

MtGox trading stopped?

1) Try to enter an order and the response (after a delay) == "Another trade is still in progress, please retry in a few seconds", every time.

2) The ticker has been stuck at the exact same place for over 10 minutes
{"ticker":{"high":21.8,"low":10.25,"vol":180944,"buy":16.088,"sell":16.31,"last":16.31}}

Are you able to place an order at MtGox right now?

Kind of, MagicalTux said there was a bug (in mysql, i think) that caused the whole system to lockup.
He's in IRC answering questions now.

Any ETA on being back up?

Edit: Good chance to break the habit of checking prices.   :D


Title: Mt. Gox broken?
Post by: Yeti on June 12, 2011, 11:18:56 AM
It seems that currently trading on Mt. Gox is not possible. For 17 minutes now the bid and ask values stand at 16.088 and 16.31 without any trade, volume continually declining.

I made a test trade with 1 BTC and it didn't even show "Your entire order can't be fulfilled". Before I came across an SQL error ... maybe there's something wrong with the database?!

Unfortunately it's 8pm on Sunday in Japan right now so it could well be another 12 hours before trading resumes. :-[

Tradehill needs to support SEPA transfers fast!! I need to switch!

Anyone knows if there's any live update on the problem? twitter hasn't got anything, maybe IRC channel, anyone knows what IRC they on?

Was wondering if anyone had found out what's going on.  Haven't seen any updates to the situation.

They seem to be overwhelmed by the volume, again. Site was already slow and buggy all day long. 3,3 million $ in volume today so far, new record again just a few days ago the all-time high was 2 million $ per day.

Well somethings going on at Mt Gox....

I made a script that pulls buy/sell/last prices from their API and have been refreshing it every once in a while for the past few hours (it worked previously to today) and the buy price went from 20.1 to 20.01 just a few minutes ago.  It moved a few times before as well, but neither the sell/last has changed at all.

How do I get to the IRC channel where the situation is being discussed? It lasts for quite a long time already, I would like to know what is the problem exactly ... or do we switch to TradeHill now?  :P

Only partially some of the time.
Another trade is still in progress, please retry in a few seconds

They really need to fix this.
