i see that. there's been a whole lot of questionable price action on gox these days....

i'm starting to regret so many people knowing about bitcoin -- it always attracts the worst first  :P

lag >7 min now, most definitely directly because of this.

Gox = eternal noobs. Probably the only exchange in the world that uses float numbers to store price data in their MySQL database.


Really ?

The fact they use MySQL and not Oracle is omfg wtf???  How much are they making again?  That's like racing a stock Prius on an F1 track when your rolling in cash.

This morning I moved all the BTC I made above my starting investment onto BTCe. I don't intend to use MT Gox for trading but it's good to know I have coins on a liquid, safe if completely fucking bonkers, exchange.

So you're moving from an incompetent company managed by script-kiddies which at least is officially registered in Japan to an "exchange" ran by unknown Russian people who never responded claims of being hacked and users' coins stolen multiple times.

Not that the rest of the "exchanges" do inspire above-joke confidence, unfortunately for all of us.

Good luck  :(

I do not know that, but have some reasons for making such a speculative guess. For comparison, I am right now testing my trading engine that does 300k trades per second easily on a single 2.4 Ghs  CPU core with an order book of about 16 million orders.

Ok, so that definitely narrows it down to Mt. Gox using (float) numbers in a MySQL database then...good work Sherlock.
