Very peculiar behavior right now on teh gox.
Coins are being dumped en masse, and always in sync with serious trade engine lag.

Probably the dumping that's causing the lag...

It's no mystery: when Gox lags, bulls are reluctant to buy because Gox could go kaput. Bears are prompted to sell because they might not be able to until the drop has bottomed out.

Basically Gox delay is a bearish development, because it means that the main exchange sucks just a little more than everyone thought.

It sucks exactly as much as I thought, which is why I like to be prepared to buy elsewhere when it dips.

So let me get this straight...

Gox lag is created by sell orders being unsatisfiable? Or by malicious users exploiting gox's engine?

Feel sorry for them, they could own the world, but they are limited by their short sighted view. Good to have these kind of people shake out before we move along  Wink

No.  Gox lag is caused by large volume.  Their setup is not engineered properly to handle so much traffic.  Nothing broken, nothing malicious, just a system design that can't possibly handle the load.  There is supposedly a update to the trading engine that will help, but it is still in testing.  In the mean time, there are plenty of other places to buy and sell bitcoin.

This has happened several times before. It will probably happen again. No need to worry.

Agreed, just don't put in auto sell order on Gox. Back when it was dumping a month ago I put an auto sell order in at $46 and it didn't execute until $33.... the bottom Sad
