Title: Another MTGox Bug
Post by: MarCoin on February 17, 2014, 10:16:08 AM
In the first days on January i have reported a bad MtGox data streaming problem
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=406471.msg4445288#msg4445288

as explained, this bug is potentially scammy for traders, because Real Time Transaction fees has to be Real Time. Gox can hugely profit by it.
What i asked myself is: why noone cared about that topic?
I wrote to gox, and after more than 1 month i've received any answer about it.


There's another point: as you can see in the image below , my platform shows an incredible price spike on the right side , happend between h13 and h14 of 2014-02-14 (Rome GMT).

The Platform records real time data transactions, then makes candle. This means that someone on MtGox has bought Bitcoins at a really high price, just below 1000$. All happend in 5 minutes, as shown on this 5-minute chart

Those spikes are not visible on softwares that doesn't keep trace of transactions.

We dont care about Mt.Gox.

Change exchange.
Leave Mt.Gox.

Dont buy there ANYTHING.
That is what I suggest.
