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 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.
Im done with Gox. Uncertainty and trading can never mix well.

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."

The same thing happened about four and a half hours ago, 114 to 111... no lag at all, buying resumed and bounced back to 116.. This doesnt seem like massive sell off lag to me

This, the triangle broke upwards many hours ago. In terms of lag, Coined, you experienced it first hand, I didn't. Whatever is happening right now is unacceptable. There is very little activity.

It seems pretty damn obvious to me that lag -> sell offs, not the other way around. BTC will never become omnipresent until gox ceases to exist.

This is what I'm saying: I'm looking at ALL trades on multiple charts, I don't see a ton of 0.01 or 0.02 trades, just normal, low-volume trade going on.
The attackers choose a high and a low point:
Put in spread bids at desired low-price, begin sell-off and commence DDoS at the same time.
This is the only thing that makes sense unless you have a tin-foil hat.
Would be interesting to look at the pattern of Bid wall development right before this happens.
I should screen record the next one.

Lag appeared to be dropping rapidly a couple minutes ago. Fell from 30+ and settled around 28 and is hovering.
