You can only really use several servers for the website itself. The actual order matching need to be done on a single processor detached from the front end.

They could at least detach the entering of orders into the database and the actual order processing. Also load balancing for the frontend (which is terribly slow) and for MySQL (which seems to crash frequently) should be a must-have. I doubt they have any of this...

[swop]

Anyone know when history data will exist?

[GeniuSxBoY]

history data will exist in the future.



you're welcome

[Sannyasi]

probably when there's history to record.....

[goldmar]

YES, IT WORKS!!!!!!





























... not.

[swop]

You know what I mean! Surely there must be *some* trading going on.

[GeniuSxBoY]

if trade hill is $15.00 btc...


and gox is $17.50 btc...


can't you transfer your btc to gox and make a couple box per share?

MySQL. Jeez, isn't that really the end of the discussion? What else did they use, FrontPage?

Any other competent technical folks want to get together and discuss putting an exchange together? Not too impressed with the options we have right now.

[dinzy]

YES, IT WORKS!!!!!!





Gox you you Goxing Gox























... not.

[RchGrav]

Look at Mt. Gox.. Mt Gox is Amazing..

Give it a click.. but I think they're delayin..

With a click on their page, it make me start to rage, but then I revert again when I think that their trading.

Oh thats nerdy!



Do you think so?  Well I better not show you where these bitcoins are made..

Sweet bitcoins.. oooh Sweet bitcoins.. Sweet bitcoins.. oooh Sweet bitcoins..

[SlaveInDebt]

Looks pretty slick  - any info when they launch?

=> http://testnet.campbx.com/main.php

Yeah. http://www.campbx.com/ 

If they open when that fancy counter runs out Im there. Whole weekend has been wasted on this crap, could be playing golf right now.
Monday will be the driving range, destroying some gox balls.

1 Week have passed, and the only visible progress I see is that Mt.Gox has a new logo.

Account history has changed, too !!!!

two thumbs up!

I'm not tech savvy guy, but wasn't there a way to prevent this mess???

Like several servers or anything?

You can only really use several servers for the website itself. The actual order matching need to be done on a single processor detached from the front end.

I've no idea how MTGox is run, but it's more than likely that adding more servers is not a trivial task due to the inherriant single nature task of order matching.... particularly if they've done some terrible job of integrating the order entry code (php most likely) with the order matching code (more php... lets hope not....).

That is of course assuming that the order matching is being done properly. As other people have commented about other exchanges, there are some wildly bizzare (and unfair / darn right illegal) order matching algorithms being used, so it might be in the case for MTGox that they could just add extra servers and hope that no two buys hit the same sell (or vice versa).

How many orders do they have to match so that it becomes the bottleneck in their service? I think the MySQL errors we saw in the first hour are just from too many MySQL connections from people accessing PHP pages which query the Database. A load balancing system would have been able to cope with this, even if you servers are in your aunts basement.

[Djao]

No.  The analogy is wrong.  It's more like teasing the puppy with a biscuit and while the puppy moves in to get it you swiftly kick it in the head.
