Title: Can anybody explain the MTGox price?
Post by: mercilesssuggy on February 25, 2014, 05:49:02 PM
Hi All,

This may have been explained in another post but there's something I don't get:
http://bitcoinity.org/markets/mtgox/USD

On an exchange which doesn't trade, how can the price be anything above 0$? When the website is inaccessible, shouldn't it be removed from any indexers?

I'm guessing the MTGox API is still live, and if so, I don't get how the price is variable when people can't buy or sell.

Thanks!

No trading is going on, it's just old data.

Write to bitcoinity (and other sites) and ask them to remove the quote from dead exchanges.  I mean is anyone still showing the last quote for Tradehill, bitcoinica, and countless other failed exchanges?  It is stupid and pointless.
