Title: Re: What is happening with Mt Gox? Last Price is fixed at 20.15 Post by: aeroSpike on June 12, 2011, 07:10:11 PM The server is responding and the history data is being updated, but all at the same price.
Title: Re: What is happening with Mt Gox? Last Price is fixed at 20.15 Post by: zdmas on June 12, 2011, 07:20:47 PM The prices are stagnant but the volume is slowly trickling up... This has been the highest volume day ever for Mt. Gox, I'm sure everything will be back to normal soon, hopefully before Monday when the serious trading starts again.

Title: Re: What is happening with Mt Gox? Last Price is fixed at 20.15 Post by: NuMessiah on June 12, 2011, 08:58:24 PM According to https://mtgox.com/code/data/ticker.php:
{"ticker":{"high":24.99,"low":10.25,"vol":161660,"buy":20.94,"sell":21,"last":20.94}} Last trade was at 20.94$. But the cumulative volume for today was 161660 BTC which is impressive! Also last trade from http://mtgox.com/code/data/getTrades.php was: {"date":1307912004,"price":20.67,"amount":18.077,"tid":"168730"} php -r 'date_default_timezone_set("UTC");echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", 1307912004)."\n";' 2011-06-12 20:53:24 So, 2011-06-12 20:53:24 UTC, 18.077 traded for 20.67$ API is your friend because most of the charts/market watchers are late due to really high number of trades and volume today. Title: Re: What is happening with Mt Gox? Last Price is fixed at 20.15 Post by: NuMessiah on June 12, 2011, 09:05:56 PM Sorry, but the volume which I reported in previous post is not the volume in BTC but the number of total transactions.
But! Bitcoin charts just synced the data from mtgox and according to their stats today's volume is already 202,455.548 BTC or 3,356,833.05 USD which is even more impressive than what I reported earlier. Is BTC trading (economy?) really kicking off now. We have really high trading volumes, plus volatile market as can be seen on "other" forex exchanges sometimes.

Well, this could be done ... but I think they would ultimaelly ended up loosing a shitload of money - pumping it into Bitcoin economy and the market would eventually overcome it. But they could wreak havoc short term in similar way the big guys are doing right now :) |
