I really hope you guys have some fiat on the exchanges. That, and that you've taken at least some of your profit.

I've got 5k USD about to move in... if this lag lets up and the price dips below 110

Me too, I have 60% cash - last buy was at 115.  Other buy orders set to execute at 111, 94, 89, and 79.   Hope it dips that far.  

Last crash, I got all-in at 76.26 and still holding those coins.

Lag increasing, people panic selling faster than Gox can process??

[BitcoinTate]

Sold 7 (half) at 141.5

Hope you don't pull the whole... sell high... buy even higher move I did that a couple times and learned my lesson.

Calm the fuck down people, is BTC really worth 10, 20, 30% less just because of a stupid DDoS?
Get ready to buy low

I'm in the USA and got woke up to the clarkmoody rings. I thought the bids looked thin and cashed out about 20k this morning @ 142.90 with the hopes of a cheaper buy back.
I can't wait for the lag to finish and get back in.

Was there a reason given by tux for the drop out?  DDOS?

[DougTanner]

Ok, I'm going to stop making predictions, this is all over the place.

My bot is frozen again, which means all the other bots are as well, hence the extreme volatility, they're not there to smooth it out.

I've done that a couple of times,
Still not learned my lesson

Down to 12 minutes lag and the price is still $138.

This is almost exactly like the last outage......a large sell-off coalesces (correct me if I'm wrong, I wasn't watching as closely this time) and Mt. Gox magically pulls the plug and/or claims DDoS. I disagree with the notion that these outages exacerbate sell-offs. Quite the opposite, they offer a great excuse (wasn't technicals, no....it was Mt Gox). These outages are becoming so common that they prevent a full blown sell-off, which is exactly what trading curbs are meant to do on the major exchanges. I simply find it difficult to believe that the Mt Gox system doesn't scale well enough to handle a high volume influx of trades; the volume is paltry even during high volume peaks. A major catastrophic sell-off in BTC would hurt Mt. Gox much more than a few customers leaving. Just a theory.....and I say this without having seen the depth of trades/order book prior to outage, so it's pure, unfounded conjecture.

What makes me mad is last night before I went to bed I had a sell order in at $145 when the price was $120. I cancelled it when I saw BTC China was up to $170. Woke up and saw it had just hit $147.  lol

[ineededausername]

btcchina is at $160

I don't know how by LITERALLY 70% of my bids and asks will always be 0.2% higher or lower than the peak or dip price.

So far following BTC China's price by 12-24 hr has been the best indicator I have found anywhere for placing orders.

30 minutes since 6 confirmations and still not showing up at gox

You either don't work in IT or haven't worked there long enough.

[mccorvic]

I demand that Gox buy up to 150 again to make up for this stupidity!

[NamelessOne]

Woohoo, the lag is down to 9 mins! Only 9 minutes! 9 whole minutes! Oh my aren't we lucky! Oppss nevermind it is 10 minutes.

Its been posted time and time again that the way they do their database queries is ssssllllllooooowwww. Shit even installing some SSD's with all their new found profits would fix the problem for awhile.
