Title: MtGox failing for a while?
Post by: advanced on April 03, 2013, 09:22:41 AM
In last minutes (and for more than 20 minutes) the MtGox engine was not responsive.

The API calls delayed, the price not updated, orders not filled.

I tried to sell btc a 145 and I ended up selling them 20 minutes later a 135. I visualized the order but they have not been executed.

The price was different from MtGox site, MtGox ticker, bitcoinchart, chrome plugin, bitcoinity ...


Whatsup?

Just someone selling 2000 BTC / profit-taking a quarter of a million in $.

It looks just like the DDoS they got hit with the other day (maybe twice), and the price took a huge plunge. 

When lag starts going up on Gox, watch out!  Some 1337 h3x0r (or goldman sachs) are trying to buy your BTC for cheap! 

Sheeple sell just as quick as they can when they see the market crashing..  What they are really seeing is the servers getting DDoS'd

MtGox LAG = DDoS

Seems quite a few btc businesses are down at same time (bitcoincharts bitcoinwatch ,etc). Not sure if it's DDoS or just popularity.

Still lagging:  Apis are not in synch with each other.

Ticker != Website != bid/ask


What should I do? which is the real price? http://bitcoinity.org/markets?currency=USD&exchange=mtgox

Maybe all the pioneers found themselves bitmillionaires  and have decided to move to somewhere sunny with swim-up bars.
