Heck, I don't even have balls, and I held throughout, just bought some dirt cheap coins too ---
At least, I think I did. Right after I placed the buy order, Bitfloor crashed.
When will these exchanges learn... exponential increase in userbase means you need to buy better hosting, better security, more servers. I see them waiting around till they're completely disfunctional and then upgrading as a last resort. You'd think Gox would have 20 people on staff working around the clock to fix the trading engine, with the amount of money they're pulling in...
More hardware doesn't cut it. Exponential is hard to tame. You need something that uses resources logarithmically dependant on size to be able to cope with that. Naive or even good implementation don't have that feature. It might not even be possible. I'm assuming goxes is even worse than linear.
Well, it'll change for the better on 17th.
