Title: MtGox down again
Post by: mineority on June 21, 2011, 08:29:15 PM
Hi there

After trying about an hour to get at least a single byte from the mtgox web server, while only getting timeouts, I can safely assume:

MtGox is offline again. Or at least this much overloaded that it is practically as useless as being offline.

So what does this mean? Will we ever get a chance to get our accounts and possibly the money/btc in it back?
*frustrated*

I am also getting no reply from neither https://claim.mtgox.com/ nor http://mtgox.com/ ...

Same here. It's a shame really.

Hopefully tomorrow or in a few days the traffic will be less. Basically what is happening now is that we (the consumers) are DDOSing the website...

I really don't belive that. There can't be more traffic and cpu load now with just the claim process and a little blog online and people filling out forms once, twice, or maybe three times... I mean, in comparison to thousands trading live continously while the website processing orders, withdrawls, and btc transfers in background. That surely was much more traffic and load... :\

Edit: Site is up again for me.

I already put in my claim, not buying it though.

They said they are installing new systems. I guess they took this time to test things without having to care about the uptime too much since there is no trade going on now.

The Mt Gox site is now really a Zendesk.com (http://www.zendesk.com) page. Zendesk runs help and ticket systems. That's why the Mt. Gox site is now showing the Zendesk logo:https://mtgox.zendesk.com/images/header-logo.png

Works fine for me.  Might be bandwith problems.  High load may prevent some from getting through
