First time I've ever see the market RISE on news of a DDoS. =/

Secure
Mt.Gox is protected by Prolexic and certified by VeriSign, which means all communications with our servers are encrypted with SSL technology.
The thing is, Layer 7 DDoS attacks are seriously hard to stop. Even Prolexic ain't enough. Apparently, anyway. |

Does us trying to refresh the Mt.Gox web page repeatedly to get back in also count as a DDOS attack?
Not really. DDOS attack is usually 100,000s of requests a second. We're probably like 2,000. =) You mean to six of us? I need to F5 a bit more than XD |

I got back in - and it seems I didn't have a buy order in after all - or the server isn't up to speed yet.
EDIT: a wild 503 error appears.

Starting to hate this game...
Feel free to gift me your BTC, so you can leave it  Meant the trading game...if price drops too far below my break even point, I'll just chalk it up to a gambling lost, lock away my bitcoins, and come back when the next block reward is halved lol. Gah! Can't say I didn't try though  If I lose on my trading, I'll just up my mining output....somehow. I wonder if I can mine on Mt.Gox's server |

It just means I can't go to bed until it comes back up.
I guess caffeine is good for something XD

Nooooo - you can't DDoS Mt.Gox without telling me first!!!
I had a buy order in at $106. I'd like to revise that to $50 now =/
Dammit, not enough profit for me.

I came here to complain about block 17925 too, but realised it's been noticed. I got a whole 0.00000001 BTC D: 17925 2013-05-08 14:13:44 1:27:14 11634278 320 0.00000001 235160 25.21733124 44 confirmations left Feel free to laugh - but I win the prize for being shafted the most  Oh well, them's the breaks! You win!  Were you mining on stratum2 by any chance? Erm.... not sure. I don't know how to check either, but I know my Listener is on api2 etc etc, and I am on Stratum. |

If I sell now, you can guarantee the drop will stop. Immediately.

thanks for the support! When (if) I make it, I'll send you a tip |

personally I'm not too interested in peoples life/trading plans being detailed on the wall movement tracker thread...
OK, sorry for interrupting the flow. The walls are still there.....unlike the trades.... |

Well, I also have an ASIC on the way, which should help.
I'll also be putting the profits from that into a few more of them, at first.
I know it's a hard slog, but I think I can do it. If it takes longer to achieve my goal, then so be it - I won't quit until I've got those 1000BTC (and enough profit from day trades to have saved the eqivalent of a few months wages at my normal job - which will be a couple of weeks if the price holds)

Well, I aim for 3% increase in BTC volume per day, so since I have just bought the BTC at $112.5, it's not worth cutting my losses at $110, as it will take longer to recover them. Anyway, the downward trend seems to have lost momentum, and is turning back upwards. I'm trying to make my initial buy-in of 6.2 bitcoins* into enough to quit work - I'm at 16.7 now, after 2.5 weeks, so eventually I will manage it - if only I can purchase and sell at the right time for once. I'd rather take my time, and tread carefully. I have slipped back too many times this week (I had 22.5 BTC at one point, then held cash due to a badly timed sell, as it shot up on the 3rd while I was asleep. I tried to recover by buying in late, just as it peaked again - I lost about $500 that day) The thing is, I have very limited resources, and I really don't think it will drop much below $110 again any time soon, so I'd rather not risk it. * I bought those (literally) 15 minutes before it plunged from $250.... You are really saying you want to quit your job and live on trading 16.7 BTC? I don't understand. How much money do you need to live per month? $300? No, what I am saying is... if i can make a 3-4% profit every day - after roughly 140 days, I'd have approx. 1000 BTC. THEN I can quit work - as a 1% profit (after fees) every day would get me 10BTC per day - or (at todays prices) $1200 per day. THAT is why I'm willing to do little trades for now, just to get to that target. - THEN I can quit my job. |

Looks like this final bounce will end at about $110 as the triangle comes to a close.
I think I'll hold out for the $110 and get some sleep... it's nearly 6am after all.

Can someone eat through that 500 *mobile* wall currently at 113.66 please?
I'd like a drop of $1 to buy in now, thanks.
I need to sleep and can't until I have my BTC.
