Is that supposed to be a pickup line?
Just so you know I'm a power bottom so butthurt is the name of the game.
Are you a bear too... boy do I love coincidences, especially in leather. lol, I hate to think about what a bull would look like in that situation.

I'm pretty sure this is not a DDoS, something is wrong with the trading engine. No trades are getting through, it seems. The normal factors (0.01 bot spamming / large trades) are not here right now.

Gox is crippling down probably "victim of their Success" aka DDOS by thousands of buyers..

How Ripple Rips you: "The founders of Ripple Labs created 100 billion XRP at Ripple's inception. No more can be created according to the rules of the Ripple protocol. Of the 100 billion created, 20 billion XRP were retained by the creators, seeders, venture capital companies and other founders. The remaining 80 billion were given to Ripple Labs. Ripple Labs intends to distribute and sell 55 of that 80 billion XRP to users and strategic partners. Ripple Labs also had a giveaway of under 200 million XRP (0.002% of all XRP) via World Community Grid that was later discontinued.[29] Ripple Labs will retain the remaining 25 billion"

Sure about that? I see very few trades. What other legitimate drain on resources can there be?
But gox is available. This would not be possible in case of plain old DDoS attack, preventing servers to communicate with world. And any kind of DoS attack by its definition covers anything that denies the host resources.
Well.. DoS mean Denial of Service, and this is may be a DoS in the terms of network worm like stuxnet. But that is unlikely. Programming or hardware or human error is much more likely. BTW, yes, I'm an expert, having some servers under my control, having some experience with fighting DDoS, and constantly fighting DoS caused by programming errors, my own sometimes :-)

I am beginning to hate Gox more and more. I have fiat there, and could buy if the price is down, but I just can't trade with 25 minutes of lag. There is just no way to make sensible decisions.

I think we are seeing MtGox's solution to market crashes... Just lag out and prevent trades... slow the roll. Though it doesn't seem to work thank goodness.. I only have cash in my accounts.

How can people say that the lag is caused by selloffs now. There was NO selloff going on, BTC had been at almost exactly $110 for nearly 12 hours. Yet people are running around trolling about Gox trying to manipulate the price upward with lag.

I was watching live, there was a decent sell off, and it broke the price triangle downwards, and that was the start of the lag.

I was watching live, there was a decent sell off, and it broke the price triangle downwards, and that was the start of the lag. The triangle was done long ago. There was a 2000btc sell and then it rested at 110ish for a couple couple minutes while no one did anything. THEN the lag started. 2000 sell that causes a couple dollar drop isn't really a sell off.

Nothing that should induce too much panic? the price was consolidating into a narrow range, a triangle, people were waiting on a break out to see what way we are going, it broke down, and lag started.

I was watching live, there was a decent sell off, and it broke the price triangle downwards, and that was the start of the lag. I was watching too. The triangle formed around $110, there was a "break" upwards, turned out to only bring it to $120 then down to $115, where it stayed for a while, then there was a "break" downwards, turned out to only bring it down to $110 again, stayed there for a bit lag kicked in and now we are screwed.

OMG, in this very thread, a few posts above, someone actually said they were going to stop using GOX!
This is a first.
Maybe people are learning!
It takes a long time to associate "incompetent programmers, failing infrastructure, constant lag, impossible to trade on" with "a service that I probably shouldn't voluntarily use."
