503 error from website from all my usa ips

forgive me if i am out of the loop, have not looked at bitcoin in 4 weeks

It's back up although getting money in/out seems to be suspect going by what some are saying here.

No problem using from the USA here aside form the abnormal few weeks delay to receive a wire from them.

seriously I am starting to get paranoid?

from every server and IP I try, which are all in california, I cannot get to www.mtgox.com


all report

503 Service Temporarily Unavailable
nginx/1.2.1


??

I do not have any money nor any bitcoins on there, i removed all at first signs of trouble many weeks ago.

Why does everything bitcoin have to be so scammy and shady.

Read this
http://www.dailydot.com/technology/california-dfi-bitcoin-foundation-cease-and-desist/

so the mtgox solution is to blackhole california, without even putting up an explanation?

what a bunch of assholes, between BFL and MTGOX, I don't know who is dumber  / more incompetent. I think mtgox are dumber actually, at least BFL are following their master scam everyone plan. Mtgox are just walking blindly into landmines.

thank the lord i removed everything from mtgox, what shitheads

data goes all the way to cloudflare in switzerland and then killed.

fuck you mtgox

you think they should allow California so Gov can shutdown their whole exchange by giving some bullshit explanation someday?

i think the professional thing to do would be to put up a error message saying

"We are experiencing regulatory issues in California, please call or see X for more details"


no, not mtgox


503 Service Temporarily Unavailable
nginx/1.2.1


that's their message.


I am not pissed because they blocked california, I am pissed because they really are stupid and unprofessional. If you had not pointed out the california thing, I would still be sitting here for days wondering what is going on. It's not like their servers haven't crashed for days before. Its not like the shock I would experience if google or cnn or something was down hard. with mtgox I was like "oh well, good old mtgox up to their tricks again, ill just try again tomorrow".

Would never ever ever ever ever do business with them ever again, even if they had 99% of the bitcoin market.

BTW I searched google for "mtgox blocks usa access" before I posted here.

nothing.........

now this thread is top of google, cool.

Anyone doing business with mtgox is mad. They will throw you under a bus with no warning or explanation. Reading threads here now that they are also refusing to respond to people asking for information on their wires? nice..... what a business.

Well Try to contact them via their twitter maybe they blocked it due to some other reason but i think they blocked it due to bitcoin foundation seize case.

i hate twitter, facebook, google plus, gmail, anything that gathers my data.

I have none of those accounts.

and I have no reason to contact mtgox, I am done with them, I would never put any money or bitcoins back into their system, wiping them from my mind.

Alright, btw your ip address is static or dynamic?
Try to visit mtgox from different ip, maybe your ip is blocked by cloudflare for some reasons?

I have access to 100s of servers and IP addresses, 95% of them in california.

every single one is blocked, thats why I though mtgox must be down, I tried looping out through 5 or 6 of them in cali.

I didn't guess its california only block.

If i really wanted I could log in through HK or London servers I have, but like I said, no reason to.

100s of IPs and servers? There is a good chance that some has generated unusual traffic and your AS is reasonable blocked. This would not be MtGoxs fault than. Perhaps you should try with a dialup line to test.

Good theory.

Except the ips I tested from which are static have never been used to log into gox not even one time. Nor the subnets.

So unless gox have esp and are blocking ips they have not seen yet,  it's a cali block.

Think its just buggy,
i get a white 503 after first Login (+mild Heart Attack, check url + https)
then i reload mtgox.com and i'm logged in and everything is fine.

ARGH!!! 

not sure, but I see the same thing;
503 Service Temporarily Unavailable 

ARGH!!!

worst company ever.

I am signing out of this thread, good luck to all with mtgox, I never want to hear the name again.

I am in Los Angeles and have been having the problem for about a week.  Got on to a server in the East Coast, no problem.

But now I have a Yubikey.  How am I supposed to work that solution, I don't know.  Maybe I can RDP and send keyboard sequences...

I have done business with Bitstamp and it has been troublefree.

This is a mess. If this is for real, there may be serious problems amiss. How can they block access to tens of thousands of customers who's money they are holding?!

I'll confirm this now via a couple servers I have in california.

San Diego, CA. Site loads fine. Logged in fine. No more FUD.

Same here. Been happening every time I log in for last couple of weeks. Just press the reload symbol on the URL bar and it will be fine.

Confirmed no issue in california accessing mtgox.

It seems like a misconfiguration:

• https://www.mtgox.com/  - 503 Service Unavailable
• https://mtgox.com/ - works fine

It's more or less random from the same IP address in California.  Sometimes it works, sometimes there's a 503 error.

I suspect they have a load balancer, and one of the servers behind it has failed at the web server level, but the load balancer is still sending some traffic to it. Most competently managed sites notice that in under two minutes. Mt. Gox...

that error means it is hitting an nginx web server that is overloaded and misconfigured
