Additionally trading fees will not be charged within 48 hours of trading resuming (until 2013-04-14 02:00am UTC).

from Gox, i can't tell if this is good for buyers or sellers or both.

i mean they should have done this yesterday when the mess kicked off. Halting it now when they said they had a ddos attack 4 hours ago is just incompetent again. But hopefully they are going to improve something now.

i think it's great they halted trading, only happens to be about 36hrs too late.

@awad_ziad Hello,

We are upgrading our database.  Trading will resume afterwards. http://bit.ly/YoCqON


i very much doubt it but i pray that they might actually improve something, but we can only hope

Maintenance Over however we are now under a DDoS attack.


so why the hell didn't they stop trading?? They just let it go on destroying bitcoin

smells like BS to me, they say yesterday was just normal and today is a ddos? they look just the same to me

they seem to be trying REALLY hard to lag the system but actually gox is holding just now, so hopefully they woke up and have done something.

Ares, that's exactly how i feel.

Anyway, on clark moody the lag is fine for me, every time it hits 10secs it seems to reset, the person trying to push the price down might find themselves screwed if they try to sell when people can actually buy back. We just saw real resistance at $150

we just hit 200k volume for the day

they should sort their site out before they even think about any other currency, or maybe it's best for everyone if the BTC people left them and they ended up just being a litecoin exchange and let the big boys handle the proper exchanges

I held and did absolutely nothing because the fundamentals and potential have not changed in my eyes.

i hope one year from now Gox doesn't even exist, they've had so much time as #1 but they're really showing that they're just not capable of being the #1 exchange in the rapidly growing climate.

To think of the money they have made and to think what kind of exchange we have to deal with, it's just totally unacceptable. They did more damage to Bitcoin today than good and i hope people leave them in droves, and the fees they charge are ridiculous

@JamesGRickards Yea, that's what I've been saying: their is no actual 'market making' - A new, more robust London-based BTC exchange coming.

holding

If someone can repost that bubble picture showing the stages.

I feel like we just had the first sell off, the bear trap.

i was going to say about China, seems like they are the only sane ones around lol

$203 now they are

selling at 139 on gox and buying at 180, what a joke

coins being sold at 139 on Gox and bought at 180, what a joke

bitcoin china over $200, im seeing a bid of $155 and an ask of $198

wtg Gox, is making hundreds of thousands of dollars a day not enough to run a freaking website properly?

exactly, if you get worried every time 1 person tries to push the price down then better those people pass onto stronger hands.

As it sells down there are a couple walls go up but the sell side becomes so thin and no one follows the seller, so as soon as he's done and pulls a couple walls we'll be back to 255-260 and 250 will become the new floor.

Like the other poster said, almost boring now and you can read it like a book every time.

Now i'm 10,360 so i've moved nearly 4k places while the queue has still gone up over 4k, so i guess that means about 8k new requests since Saturday?

Bump for Mick, any sellers out there, Mick's the one to go to!
