flash crash price watch btc-e 123, mtgox 142

[usagi]

I just checked BTC-e since MTGox has 2 min. lag (and I'm in asia) and they're selling off down into the 120s, last price is 133 and low is 123.016. :/

edit: can't edit post due to lag, or view mtgox but I just saw last trade 157 then it jumped to 190, then 140 then 180, within 5 min.. the volatility is nuts, what is going on? the coins are blowing up

edit: 142 on mtgox

Bah, 123, bitstamp touched down to 78.40... but then again, it was trading and gox wasn't (functionally), so can't really compare.

I've seen 150 on mtgox, smashing through that wall fast.

My Android app which updates every minute has been stuck at 180 for the last 15 minutes or so. I'm guessing there just isn't any trading going on.

Too right too... GOX ought to halt trading whilst under what is quite blatently a DDoS instigated panic sell.

I don't believe for one second this is a DDOS. MtGox would have a 3-4 second lag on barely any volume. You think a sell off isn't going to cause lag? Everyone is now trying to get their share off the table. Some will get burned, some will break even, some will come out ahead. I hope some people learned a lesson. Focus on the fundamentals, not "get rich quick" schemes.

BitCoinTalk is as slow as MTGOX, I guess you can call it DDOS when it's service request overload. Where are those Hyper-V clustered RAID10 SSDs now?
