Title: is mtgox.com being DDOSed?
Post by: miernik on August 07, 2011, 01:55:21 AM
I have a problem with the speed https://mtgox.com/ website is loading. Sometimes it loads, another time it takes even minutes before it loads.

Especially frustrating when I had a buy-order at 7 USD, but then when trading was around 7.40 I realized that BTC is going to go much lower then 7.00 so I wanted to cancel my order, and for a few minutes I couldn't because the site didn't load. Fortunately I managed before it reached 7, but during those minutes I couldn't load the site the rate was going down really fast! I saw on http://bitcoincharts.com/

If MtGox.com didn't load, how come bitcoincharts.com got the data?
http://www.websitenotworking.com/mtgox.com was telling that it's down for everyone.
 
What's going on here? Is someone on purpose DDOSing MtGox so other's can't cancel their orders?

works fine here... you sound panicky.. which is what a lot of people around here sound, which sometimes, looks similar to a ddos
and dont worry about hitting exact bottom.. just buy.. BUY BUY BUY

Yeah, buy at 6.00 just to see it go down to 5.50 a few hours later.

I'll buy when I see the price stable (not changing more then 10% a day) for a week or two. From there it should go up.

That doesn't mean much, we had a similar jump up at around 14:00 UTC yesterday, from 7.8 to 8.4 and just 7 hours later it was below 7.5 and going down again.

What foolish logic...it seems you fancy yourself a mystic. Do you see the future in dreams, or does it come to you in flashes when you touch objects? Is it spirits that tell you what happens next? Are you in fact the second incarnation of Christ, coming to bring forth the BitRapture and cast the spawn of evil into the fiery depths of hell?

Historically, the price has never been stable for a week or two, and when does come to pass, it indicates nothing of future events. If I had faith in the security of any of these exchanges, I would be buying up a storm right now. Instead, I will watch my mining proceeds trickle in and cross my fingers that this difficulty drop does in fact happen.
