Let me guess - the bears will destroy the bulls. Best prediction of future behaviour is...

Nobody is doing anything at the moment. We need to be plastering MtGox with emails, twitters, facebook, whatever at the moment to get their attention on this and communicating with us. I've already contacted them.

Another crash.  That's the only rational thing that can happen at this point.  When the market isn't offering any information about itself, then the rational thing for participants to do, especially those who bought near or above the current price, is exit the market in the hope of minimizing their loss.  Each person trying to minimize his loss will collapse the market in these conditions.  Sit back and watch the giant prisoners dilemma.

Well that's pretty much true.  It's mostly always on.  It's just that sometimes when it's on the market order you execute in a panic doesn't get executed for 30, 60, 90 minutes, or whatever.

True, can't help smile when logging in.

They should be able to give some further info on the DDossing origin, zombie network or what?

Also they have a professional company Prolexic taking care of their security and they should have an interest too in not looking like idiots?
