well.. it is somewhat big news. what does it mean?

mt gox is ddosed to oblivion again.

bitcoin will fail because the whole world will see it is FAR worse than having cash or other assets when they can be  super easily manipulated by a few, when BOTS fully control the prices and when you lost ACCESS to 80% of all transaction/exchange capability.
yes, there will be bitcoins. but, who the hell would take them seriously.
all the problems it was trying to solve are in fact being created.
sometimes 1 bad publicity stunt kills a great idea. happens way too often.

and i do mean that people should just buy 1 bitcoin to keep trust going in it (not in mtgox) not too "speculate" on price volatility unless that's the only concern

let me put it another way. if you dont want this to fail. buy 1 bitcoin

it's fine if they disable all the .01 transactions and limit orders to extent

if we don't make it hold just for stability sake then this is the end.
stop panicking and thinking about short term profits.
just start buying 1 / .5 bitcoin.
the more we have many individuals willing to buy just a bit the better it will be for everyone.
get your short term "profits" out of your mind

fuggin a

gox down

mtgox down again.
INSANITY

it's the end of bitcoins if the sole purpose is to manipulate pricing constantly and just make money off the newbie panic sellers.
the utility is completely destroyed. sigh

large purchases coming in at 129.. what a good day for people to arbitrage if they could

beacuse the exchange is being manipulated too easily.
the .01 transactions need to stop
they need to make it so people can't put in orders they can't fulfill either
so many things wrong. it is a manipulated market by all means

disable ALL APIS please for the next 24 hours
but does gox ever listen

mtgox.. is reopening slowly.
guess what.!!
still plenty of .01 btc trades going through. what is wrong with gox

buying coins from mining pools directly. eh can't say that will help with liquidity issues

$5 , paying higher ;n

why? so you can buy from all the newbies who panic sold for your own personal gain?

freeze doesn't leave a bad impression it says: our software is SHIT and we are taking time to make sure that our shit software stops messing everything up. how is this not better. the problem is not the prices it's the website! just one website.

free market my ass..................
i'm being realistic. as of now everything regarding bitcoins is tied to gox.
will this change? i hope so. but, it hasn't yet.
people are free to do whatever the want. no doubt.
however, blatant manipulation is horrible and will have horrible consequences.
it's better to have people be able to adjust than have orders be executed hours later

people were unable to change their orders during the lag. how is that free market?
mtgoxs platform is horrid. if they don't freeze and take care of things things will go to hell a lot faster.
they are at the moment the cause of many problems

yes, it should stop
TECHNICAL GLITCHES and FLAT OUT MARKET MANIPULATION (.001btc orders), and adding UNFUNDED ORDERS. etc
is NOT FREE MARKET. it's MANIPULATION.....................

just to be clear. technical glitches, abuse, DDOS all that stuff is NOT FREE MARKET. don't be calling it what it's not.
