Title: Is this another DDOS?
Post by: Chainsaw on April 03, 2013, 01:48:35 PM
Sorry - I'd post in Marketplace, but that darn newbie status.

I note that MtGox (as well as clarkmoody and bitcoincharts) are having some prolonged downtime.
I recall reading last week that a DDOS was responsible for the last of these. My concern lies in the fact that last time, upon getting back online, we suffered a pretty major correction.

Thoughts? Another attack, or just overthinking?

I've been blind on price for about an hour. We are still around 141, yes?

Or 40. Or 4. We'll only know, when the engine catches up.

I was just going to ask the same thing. I'm glad you guys are seeing it too--I was afraid my IP was blocked from refreshing the page too often or something  ;D

I still see it frozen at 141 on Mt Gox. Occasionally I get a "cannot access database" error. Moody won't update.

Also, I've been trying to cancel an order I made through the API (the website loads but the buttons do nothing). I can't tell if it's working or not either.

Earlier today Mt Gox's website was not quite functional, but the API was working.
