Not for me. Live is down but the website itself is still up.

It's working for me.  Live is, well, not live, though.

It's down in EUR, fine in USA it seems.

confirmed, down in germany. :mad:

Confirmed, down in The Netherlands.

Yeah, down for me as well(Netherlands).

It's nice and all MTGOX is setting up their own merchant solutions program, but I don't understand why this isn't first priority!?!

EUR, down here as well.

Fuck MtGox, seriously. Either everyone can trade or they shut trading down.

Up for me again.

Up here in North America. Price is new high of 5.845

Down in Ireland, I need this man, my ecomomy is shit  >:(

Down in france too
Can someone confirm the ip address is this one : 72.52.5.67 ??


EDIT : BACK

So it's down in Australia?

5.833

Bouncing between 5.82 and 5.84.  =)

The spread on Bitcoinica is currently only 1.5 cents.

$6.23!!!

This looks like some kind of exploit. Whoever is attacking might not want European traders to get in the way while he runs some attack on Bitcoinica/a bot/newbie US speculators/who knows what.

What is Gox doing, no statement, no precautions? True wild west, eh. People who have bots running iceberg sell orders will be pissed at competing against an unfair advantage of the "preferred" traders who are still allowed to operate.

Clarkmoody is working live again for me.

edit: mtgoxlive also

Down again here...

anyone remember this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=56896.0

maybe related?

LOL. no

Can someone outside europe (for whom mtgox is still working) say me if this works ???

https://72.52.5.67

Error page: domain not found

I don't get it....
If mtgox was being ddosed, it wouldn't work for anyone
If it was a dns problem, then this ip (if it's the good one), should work...
Can someone correct me if i'm wrong ?
WTF is happening ??

PS : from france, both are not responding... but i can ping mtgox.com

It could be being ddosed from a subset of ip's so only that subset plus their subnets are blocked.

It's those Russians who have done it dozens of times already. Every time, Europe was selectively disabled. It's been confirmed by Mtgox on various occasions, and they even contracted a hoster that specially handles DoS countermeasures because of this.

Also, I don't think I'm routed to Mtgox over Asia, or are they hosted in Japan now?

That's not a "conspiracy theory". This is most likely an attack just like all the attacks we had before -- just this time, someone is trying to profit on the market by doing it.

Weird. I can reach Mtgox just fine through Tor, but I can't reach them without my connection going through Tor.

gox loading in <1 second for me

Sorry I was thinking Bitcoinica, MtGox is hosted in Florida...

So from the thread it appears that Europe is having issues reaching mtgox.com, 72.52.5.67.

Any other geographic regions? What do European users get when they trace route to mtgox.com?

Here is mine:

HAH!!!! That's awesome...

It's a routine scheduled maintenance outage!!

Seriously? What the hell?

Why not shut trading down if you are doing maintenance if not everybody can trade? Who is going to come up for my losses generated by this?

Typical goxxing.

So, looks like somebody was attempting to capitalize off of the outage.

WTF? A planned outage that shuts out only the EU, but keeps other people trading?

Genius! That's... I don't know... what a plan.

Ok, restart.  Roll back the last 24 hours.

sorry, no fun at all

Almost as good as updating their system live.

Is it truly a fair market at any given time if you can call an outage and selectively lock out traders in a geographic region?

roll back & give me 5.3 again  ::)

Roll back and give me 5.8 again! >:(


No, it’s a piece of shit, even without Bitcoinica.

Randall just messaged me about a page that works:

https://classic.mtgox.com/ (https://classic.mtgox.com/)

It has the old "StartCom" signed key... doing a tracert shows that it is a different server: 72.52.5.81, also at prolexic, so I guess it's legit?

Yes, but what can I do? There is no market with better liquidity than MtGox, and I need it. Have you heard of the network effect?

Personally, I’ve given up on this monopoly thing on both pools and exchanges a long time ago. Maybe with pools it can change now, but exchanges, no way.


Thanks, I remember that URL! Way better than their new design anyway.

No! Learn some game theory. I will not switch for the "greater good" if I incur individual losses due to greater spread and lower liquidity.

Here, I have created such a thread myself in May: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=8653.0

That’s simply how your awesome free market works. There is no greater good, and everyone suffers because of it.

Looks like mtgox is down again (Ukraine, DNS does not resolve mtgox.com)

working normaly here

same here, germany; provider: alice/o2

edit: what is the mtgox ip?
edit2: 72.52.5.67  ... does not work for me, though ??

anyway, switched to google dns servers (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4) temporarily and it works again


this is very odd (buying namecoins...  :D)

mtgox.bit is not set up ???   at least not with masterpool

edit3: and bitcoinwatch.com does not work with the google dns   oh boy
