Nice glitch.

WB to "the world's most sophisticated trading platform."

It can't even compete with NASDAQ on downtime. 3h15min against nasdaqs 3h.

NASDAQ does not even come close to what MTGox and most other Bitcoin exchanges do when it comes to uptime since the Bitcoin exchanges run 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

Yeah, I forgot the sarcasm tag. I see that Gox have problems, but they have also been a trailblazer in uptime.

Trading has resumed but APIs are down or only partially-functional? Is this what happens when bots are not trading? I.e., literally almost zero volume. lol. Knew it all along. 90% of the volume is botwars.

bitstamp has significantly more volume today than gox

11,403 vs 8,146 BTC right now

It pains me to post anything even slightly bullish, but I suppose I can do so once in a while.

Google "debt ceiling X date" for plenty more recent articles on the matter.

What makes you think APIs are down?  My bot is working fine.

Well.. it didnt really take more than a glance at market share pie graphs to show gox is dying.

I really wanted gox to stay as their incompetence causes volatility.. but, I mean, those fuckers dont deserve a penny. Awful platform, support, etc.

buy buy buy

Websocket and SocketIO APIs are down

They're always the first to fail... this is why I just use the https/json APIs.  I doubt other bot herders use those without a fallback, but I guess there might be a couple.

Yes maybe but they are the only way to get realtime data.
Since I'm running a HFT bot and don't want to DDOS gox, the json API doesn't work for me.
Anyway I opened a support ticket 4 hours ago but no answer yet (surprise!).
Let's see how long it stays down this time but 10+ hours is a new highscore.. I think.

Ah... I just run a simple market maker that keeps standing orders and checks if they are filled once per minute.  The realtime data feeds wouldn't help enough to make up for the implementation effort and the semi frequent downtime.  The JSON APIs usually work even when their web interface is down.

Also, because I'm slightly OCD, you can't Distributed Denial of Service from a single IP .  It would just be DOS.

http://trading.i286.org/ working again. Woohoo  

*edit*

and yup, the bots are back at war with each other as usual

LOL, can someone recommend an equivalent multi-exchange summary site esp. with Chinese exchanges?  Preferably not one owned by any exchange...

Can you tell me why you think bitcoincharts.com is owned by an exchange?  I have seen this rumor several times lately, but I have seen no evidence, and my memory tells me differently (yet is not clear enough for me to tell you who in fact does own it).  Yes, their whois says "K.K. Tibanne Privacy", but that is just the standard privacy information for any domain Kalyhost registers.  Being hosted by Mark Karpeles company doesn't mean MtGox owns it.
