Coinbase for one.
But I can buy coins at coinbase now: "Success! Your purchase completed successfully." 5 seconds ago. What gives? Whatever exchange risks there are, they are isolated from goods merchants by btc processors (and coinbase is one of those). Did you get your price locked in or did you check the box that says they will use the exchange rate when your funds arrive 5 days from now? Big difference. |

It's gotta be the Coinlab merger. Maybe they didn't announce it because they didn't want a sell off to occur before hand.

Gox now reads
"please wait a bit"
wtf? |
|
|
|

So it is 11:40pm in Japan right now, so I am guessing: A) They don't have a full staff on right now or B) They decided to do the Coinlab merger "overnight"

Anyone know what time it is in Japan right now?

Don't understand your comment. Of course price depends on supply and demand, and arbitrage can even out price difference across exchanges, but this isn't relevant to my point. I'm talking about merchants who need an exchange rate to price goods and services in BTC. Every BTC merchant I've seen looks to Gox for this. If Gox is down, these merchants are flying blind (though maybe some have a back up plan for this - I don't know).
Which merchants look to gox? what for? which year is it now? There are several bitcoin payment processors; and if you wish to get fiat for your goods, you can be completely isolated from the going rate of BTC, and that's what most if not all merchants do. Now back to your misinformation - link to at least one merchant who is looking at gox for prices? Coinbase for one. |

If this is all part of the coinlab transition...a little notice would have been nice.
This is what I'm kinda leanin' toward at this point. The "database error" message seems decent evidence of this. Super unprofessional and stupid to boot if they did indeed decide to randomly upgrade without warning and in the middle of a huge rally. Yeah i'm thinking this is what is going on. DB errors and everyone's account # changed. Good news is BTC-E and Bitstamp are still holing around $135. |

Let's speculate on the price after they've reopened. I'm guessing we're headed for $122.
Well before trading halted a massive wall popped up at $150. There is only a 14k wall at $110...22k at $100. We might just dip to say $97 for a moment. |

So if this is truly do to user volume, are we going to see one hell of a sell off?

They just tweeted
"Hello,
Due to high volume trading at the moment, there is a lag in trading and order cancellation."

Mt. Gox just tweeted

Question from a computer network beginner:
How do you tell the difference between a DDoS attack and a website that is being flooded with too much real traffic?
Multiple BTC sites went down at the same time. |
