MtGox still lagged to hell after server upgrade

[schizoid]

Why does everyone keep trying to trade on the world's most broken exchange?

I would assume that it's because it is considered the largest of them all...

Maybe that's just me though...

I just tried to make a trade and got the following message:
"Market cooldown, order placing suspended until 2013-04-12 02:00:00 UTC"

WTF

[CodyCot]

I feel for you bro. I would hate to be stuck in limbo until then.

I'm waiting a little longer for the dust to settle a little before I make any rash decisions.

Good luck with your transaction my friend

There are alternatives:

CampBX

btc-e

...others, I'm sure. I've heard nothing but good things about CampBX.

I was looking at purchasing some LTC from Vircurex.

Have you heard anything from this site? I don't want to place my funds into a scam.

So it's like U-Haul: the biggest truck rental company but also the absolute worst.

I deposited and withdrew BTC from there with no problems except the ridiculous withdrawal fee.

I am shocked that a bunch of French/ Anglo RPG geeks cannot handle high volume, real time financial transactions on ever growing accounts.  You would think being an Anime / Magic: The Gathering enthusiast would help one greatly in this world.

It seems like AWS is handling their servers behind Prolexic DDoS mitigation services, so I cannot figure out why it would take so long considering AWS has massive computing power, unless they:

1. Had no clue as to how to set up high availability computing.

2. Are being sketchy.

Really, either one could be the case.

Thanks for the input. I will make sure to watch out for that Withdrawal fee when I begin dealing with them
