Omg its over, no more bitcoins left.  ;)

crowd is pro bitcoin...  8)

I think something is up.  I had a sell order (on Gox) disappear on me overnight.  I can't trace it down.  Thought I was going crazy until I see less than 2000 BTC on the entire sell side of the order book.

Amazing!

yea, i call hax.

Mine also dissapeared - but it was not overnight - I saw it just half an hour ago.

But the bitcoins are still on my accout.  Maybe it is that the MtGox on-line bitcoin wallet got depleted?

lol! no sellers???

Gox is bugged. Damn amateurs.

So the question is, at what time did the sell orders disappear and are they going to roll back trading to that time?

Maybe we'll soon see the automated kill switch engage and stop trading? Did anyone at Gox ever say what the swing threshold for that is?

pirate has to jump in and sell some coins and by them back at a higher price...  ;D

Damn nice rally if it doesn't get rolled back  ;D

ungh.. the last thing we all need are more problems... esp at gox.

So now price is going up because of a glitch on the trading platform and look at it, people are still buying   ::)

so difficulty is to high people shut down there GPU miners and sell them before ASIC is coming and then nobody sell their earned coins because of the coming next bubble?

I think trading might just have been halted.

either misinfo on my side or only a short break

there will be a rollback :(

sux cuz i made some really good trades today

Tux states there is nothing wrong, dont see why there would be a rollback if its legit.

says who?

trades are still happening over the feed.

source?

awesome. *whips out popcorn*

link?

IRC

Tux is WRONG if he says there is nothing wrong. The trading engine has been full of glitches today. Orders disappearing, getting filled partially etc.

I have a very hard time believing that there is nothing wrong.

Tux states there is nothing wrong?  I have a third source that says his sell orders disappeared over on BTC-E chat: "Smoovious: yeah, and all of my pending sell orders are gone, but the coin wasn't sold"

I saw the damn order book go down to under 2000BTC all the way up to $100,000,000 and he says there is nothing wrong?  OK, so everybody who had sell orders deleted them all at the same time? right.  It wasn't just one guy with sell orders on the market.

actually, me too. The order-book shouldn't be empty like that and multiple people reported on vanishing asks.

HOLY SHIT 1 MILLION!!!!

I only relayed what Tux stated on irc right now.

If he changes his mind well then he changes his mind, but that was last word from him.

Oh sweet, now Clark Moody is show the high of the day at 1000000000.00 hahaha.  "Yep, nothing wrong here!" - Tux

standard gox

Really? You must be using your own custom clark moody, mine clearly states 11.98998 as high of day.

I do see the $1bil on mtgox site but not on clark moody.

a billion for me too. and my charts crashed

You tell me ?

https://i.imgur.com/EFZED.png bahahaha

we've cleared the way to make 1btc=$100US

I'm scared.

The question is: Why the hell the trading engine hasn't been stopped yet?

you should be dancing, it's looking like order don't get accepted currently.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Wheeeee!

I think it was an error - someone wanted to buy 1 billion coins, not pay 1 billion for a coin.

Would you remove the bear if now 1BTC==$1B?

same old 0 volume purchase bug that was supposed to be fixed before, I guess someone is actively looking at ways to exploit this, heh.

I think it has. Entered an ask 3 minutes ago... still pending. no trades on the feed. Cancelling order doesn't work. Exactly like a while ago (1 or 2 weeks?)

Yeah no trades for over 6 minutes, I think he finally hit the kill button.  Wish I had my money in other exchanges because they rallied as well, with no rollback possibility (probably).

Yeah, they halted trading a few minutes ago. That's a relief. Most likely this is some very weird bug in their system.

lol, scary if true :P

As far as I know the rally till $11.5 was completely legit. It was only after then that the asks disappeared.

You are probably right.  Somewhere between $11.20 and $11.50 although I would like to see someone come up with an exact time.

no, there were problems wayy before we hit 11.5. although i would love for that to be true :)

its most likely gona rolled back to 11.1

is this an issue that is possible to roll back?  since trading wasn't frozen what how would they roll back? say someone made 200 btc off of this glitch and then withdrew them. How to fix that?

Most other exchanges are around at 11.5 also, so I think at least 11.5 is legit. And MtGox usually being 0.2 to 0.3 higher than the others, even 11.8 sounds legit

Good question.

and now we wait...

Given precedent from last  year, Gox would roll back what they could (not yet withdrawn), try to get as much of the rest back by asking nicely (or maybe less nicely) and cover any losses out of their own pocket.

some trades seem to have slipped through

15:17:16    0.01311 for  11.79906 bid
15:17:18    4.212   for  11.7991  bid
15:17:18    4.41639 for  11.8     bid

(GMT+1)

trading seems to have resumed at $11.80

"Everything is bogus, this whole rally thing is bogus, they will finally find out and roll all the way back to $2."--from a desperate permabear

LOL then bitcoin will go back to 0.01

Mt. Gox: "Sorry, we're all out of Bitcoin."

So note to self:

A $1,000,000,000 order fucks Mt.Gox.

Also notice very low ask vol. in BTC-e:

http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/btceUSD_depth.html

The order book just fucked up again.  My new sell order disappeared, price jumped way past it, no change in my balance of USD, depth chart super low on sell side.  GOX!!!!!

OMG they are fucking up big time. Trading resumed and the problem hasn't been fixed!

Seems to be halted again.

rollback to .0001c inc

Trades have resumed.

that ask order book is thin for a reason...

Could it be a hacker cancelling all the sell orders.........

STOP RESUMING TRADING TILL U FIGURE THIS OUT FFS

I'd like to buy some coins from someone off-exchange, but use Gox WtAvg to calculate price, so if Mark could confirm the issue's solved, it would be appreciated...

no one's selling anymore, wonder why =)

b/c it's going to $1 BILLION?

because it seems there is another fatty sponsor ::)

This reminds us that Mt. Gox stands for Magic the Gathering Online Exchange!

Nothing is wrong there; it's just MAGIC!  :D

Gox Support posted an update and alleges the problem's solved. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99547.msg1088844#msg1088844

looks legit... spike to 11.98 triangle broken!!! ;D

anyone dare to dump their priceless coins?)

actually aberrant, massively out of line candle spikes are not that unusual with stocks.  it always makes you wonder why...

where have all the bitcoins gone?

A HA HA.....I have them all now!!! I am the pokemon Bitcoin master!!!

isn't that a song?

yes  :D

It describes current situation perfectly. Nobody is selling in bulk anymore.

This was my face before my first coffee cup.

http://especular.com/files/2010/04/Crazy-traders.jpg

My stuff just got rolled back, had made a sale after the problem, have coins back now

Apparently just a "technical bug." https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99547.msg1088949#msg1088949

What this tells me is that one person has all those bitcoins in sells. Otherwise you would have seen a gradual removal from the sell order book creating a history of lines.

This is pure market manipulation at its best lol

GO BITCOIN! :D

This isn't new - usually 'bad ticks' are filtered out, but we got one broadcasted everywhere.

I'm using the Sierra Charts method of looking at prices, if you are too - you can right click on the chart, choose "Edit/Refresh Data" and you'll be presented with a dialog window that lets you scroll back through the prices using the left arrow at the bottom.

My timezone is calibrated to EST, so the bad tick is at - 08-09-2012 08:36:41 (plus or minus depending on your system clock)

You can either edit the values or delete the entry. Then select "Reload Charts" and everything will be back to normal.

This was your face before you had a coffee cup? Why?

Coffee on your lap?

 ;)

This is annoying. I had some asks in place but I didn't have them recorded elsewhere. Not big sums, just playing around, but still.

This (along with corresponding DDos attacks on major pools) was just to get the price back below 11. No theories/conspiracies here. Market is too small, Gox is too big. [full stop]

There is no point to support capitalism in its current failed form, we should not allow new bright technology like Bitcoin to be so blatantly manipulated by pure greed. Please.

Yup, we should create MoralCoin... or Ethicoin... But, if you don't mind, I'll keep my BTC as well  ;D

All I know is that for a breif second I was worth Trillions of dollars!  ;D

Well, I guess you are just greedier than me then. Let me know if it does you some good :)

Seriously - another ddos on all major pools and at the same time a mysterious ‘bug’ is found in Gox’s code, it also so happens when there is a rally with 60% more bids then asks on the board.

Anyone knows what was rolled back?  There was a trade at 13.88 - was it rolled back?  Some charts still show it.

What do you propose?

Im going to say Its Pirate. 
Organizing the ddos by co-operation with botnet operators. 
Starts doing his trading tricks after ensuring the bulk of the bitcoin community cannot trade.

This is the 3rd time we have seen this trick.

I don't understand how ddosing pools would help. To achieve what exactly?
