Gox down!

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/www.mtgox.com

Well that was fun...never credited my deposit after 20 confirms.  Couldn't work my buy order either at the open...

Goxx'd AGAIN!

HAHAHAHA!  Oh this is rich!  You almost had me there GOX!  U so CRAZY!  I think i wanna have yo baby!

Well that was an exciting 87 minutes of uptime.

new servers are of great reliability

Not for me...no crediting of my btc deposit after 20 confirms....  Orders to buy at open locked up, didn't execute couldn't adjust.

the price crash.... its so sweet.

Why is anyone still even trying to trade there, just move to one of the other 8 big ones.

Did they try turning it off and on again?


For me, personally, it's because all my USD is still tied up in there. Not as easy to move that elsewhere as BTC is

exciting indeed....

I got a purchase in at 130 and one in at 100.

Hopefully one day those will sound like great deals. Maybe even a day that isn't that far away.



I think we are in for a shitshow for a little while.

a) The news is going to have a field day with this nonsense, there will be shit tons of trash talked about BTC, which will both bring new players to the market as well as encourage aggressive volatile trading practices


b) The exchanges need to adopt to the volume, sites going down left in right isn't good for anyone.


c) More options for buying and trading need to emerge..... WE NEED A SERIOUS COMPETITOR FOR MTGOX  

the move is to blow on it REALLY HARD

Everyone pull your money out and send it to either

I tried to cash in on the opening sell off and fall. I put my order in early but when it was finally processed my coins were all sold for $77 then the price jumped up to $120.  :-[

What happened to the $20 bitcoins everyone was promising??  ;D

I am a big fan of Einstein's definition of insanity. You can see it at work here.

It is absolutely mind boggling to me that they have been taking 1.2% of the market price of every trade (maybe a bit less for the higher volume movers) for the entire run up and then deliver such a shoddy service.  I'm sure they have made a substantial amount of money during the rise.  Then as penance they insult us with 2 days of free trading.

EDIT:  They irony is that free trades will result in higher volume.  This is supposedly what crashed them in the first place...

You see, that I understand. Its people who are leaving their BTC on gox and trying to trade that has me wondering. I'm sure the other exchanges could split up all of the gox book and run just fine. Whats fucked is that if the majority continue to use gox then this problem will will continue until we see a 10$BTC. We need the other players in this feild to come here and "pitch" us so "we" dont forget that theres others out here that can do the same as gox, better then gox and if they changed their prices they could be cheaper then gox.

P.s. I only trade on BTCE and Cavirtex ATM

I wasn't credited for my BTC deposit either....THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, I AM NEVER USING THEM AGAIN

Problem is that 80% of all trading USD is still locked up in Gox, and it will be days until it gets into the other markets, so unless Gox resumes trading, we'll be having all of Gox's BTC chasing very little USD of its competitors.

You can add Cavirtex.com to that list. These guys AKA Jacob works hard and long, his fees are wild, I think I started at like 3 or 3.5%. I've traded over 1100 BTC on there in the last 2 months so I am now on the 1.5% tear about to drop to 1%.


Anyways, if you dont mind paying the fees its a real good option.

Good o'l Gox.

To be fair... Show of hands, how many of you here were looking at $260 prices, and wishing you could buy cheaper coins?  ;D

So then maybe thats what we need, "days" of waiting for the USD to make it to other exchanges. I could wait days, even weeks or months with AML laws and what not, the main goal we need to reach is having at least 25% but i'd like to see 50% leave gox and go somewhere else. Its worth the time and headache the way I see it, but then again I dont trade on Gox.

I was perfectly happy with prices under 100.  The run up from $40 to $250 never felt right to me.

guilty!

Once you break that 2500 BTC 120 day Volume your fees are good.

And they also had an IPO.

I managed to get a few more people into Bitcoin. Now that the price is lower it makes adoption a little more palatable.

Consulting can be difficult but one on one training is the best for adoption. I find it works best when I work with people directly on this topic.

and up again. 10s lag.... the story continues....

Because most of them are currently down, running far behind, are showing prices way out of sync with other exchanges, or have a huge spread that blocks trading. btce and bitstamp look usable, but Bitstamp is at $70, Btce is at $80, and Mt. Gox is at $90. If you could get funds in and out of exchanges rapidly, you could make money on arbitrage.

over 40 confirms...no coins.  GOX'd like a pro.

And WHY do i use them STILL. Cause i gots loot there and i'm verified fools.  Gots to get that loot out, and i'm not going to buy high and wd it.  i'm going sell coins if it goes up, buy em if/when it comes down.  Then WD coin.

You see i had it all planned out, just like when i sold those pumpkin futures at a 52 week high towards the end of october.  Thought this would be like a repeat, build my coin balance w/some smart trading, then w/d them in minutes to my client.  You know how any reputable reliable exchange would work.

But what do you do when you can't get your fiat out of gox, and you can't get your coins in either?  

Suck it up, smile and enjoy the Goxing, thats what i'm doing!

same here. 25+ confirmations, no coins....
