Title: Any word on when markets open?
Post by: Hook^ on June 25, 2011, 04:22:53 PM
So it seems that the won't allow market order to be placed ahead of market opening.  This means that every trader has to sit in front of their computer refreshing until markets open so that they don't miss the opening.

Why oh why, can't they just allow orders to be placed before market opening?  And have a defined market opening time that allows some time to get orders in?

weren't they supposed to open trading 1h after opening the site?

they could at least post one-line status messages on the support website or on twitter so we know what's happening...

They could at least do that, but they seem to really like dropping the ball.

I'm still going to trade at mt gox, and I've even deposited, but they are really bad at communication. I think they did a good job fixing everything, but really bad at talking about it.

Yah, I've got 3 tabs open with my buy orders and am repeatedly hitting the "Buy Bitcoins" button...  ;D

Tradehill is currently open. http://www.tradehill.com/?r=TH-R15761 (this is a referral)

Can anyone verify this.

And be careful with your tradehill spam, they will disable your referral code if enough people complain.

probably because they don't have an auction system that usually determines the opening price at a real exchange.

Verified,
[19:12]   The topic is 'Mt.Gox channel - no trading until we finish testing, most likely in 24 hours (June 26th, 15:00 GMT)' (set by MagicalTux on zaterdag 25 juni 2011 17:59:37)
So get back to the real life now

Why the hell can't they post that on the site?


Title: Re: Any word on when markets open?
Post by: robmon on June 25, 2011, 05:24:30 PM
Based on previous track record, I would guess no trading within 48 hours...


Title: Re: Any word on when markets open?
Post by: mjsbuddha on June 25, 2011, 05:26:13 PM
just withdraw your money and trade on tradehill. jeese. no one is keeping you from trading


Title: Re: Any word on when markets open?
Post by: dinzy on June 25, 2011, 05:27:22 PM
because they wanted to fuck everyone over who xferred funds in expecting to be able to trade.  Dicks

I cannot withdraw all my money due to the 1k limit.

MagicalTux said that they're still downloading the blockchain in IRC. Will take a bit longer to confirm transactions, as they catch up.

Wait a tick... You put more funds into Mt. Gox.

And now you are complaining because you can not get it all out?


No kidding, starting to feel sorry for Tux with all these 'bright lights' as customers.


Title: Re: Any word on when markets open?

I put BTC in right before the crash and they aren't showing up.  Please help me out here.
