free market my ass..................
i'm being realistic. as of now everything regarding bitcoins is tied to gox.
will this change? i hope so. but, it hasn't yet.
people are free to do whatever the want. no doubt.
however, blatant manipulation is horrible and will have horrible consequences.
it's better to have people be able to adjust than have orders be executed hours later

There is one guy here on this forum living a few streets from Gox.

An eyewitness confirmation that they are not leaving would be nice.

people were unable to change their orders during the lag. how is that free market?
Because everyone knows that Mt. Gox is a shithouse and chooses to take that risk when they trade with them. As ever - dont like it? Leave! But don't try to insist that others must do the same.

mtgoxs platform is horrid. if they don't freeze and take care of things things will go to hell a lot faster.
they are at the moment the cause of many problems

yes, it should stop
TECHNICAL GLITCHES and FLAT OUT MARKET MANIPULATION (.001btc orders), and adding UNFUNDED ORDERS. etc
is NOT FREE MARKET. it's MANIPULATION.....................

just to be clear. technical glitches, abuse, DDOS all that stuff is NOT FREE MARKET. don't be calling it what it's not.

You are fully free to choose a market place that doesn't not suck. Or not use any market place at all and instead do it straight...

@superduh

1. Such "glitches" should not exist.
2. If they occur, people should know better than to trade during them.
3. Solving one manipulation with a further manipulation is like shooting the second leg after the first.
4. People should still be free to take their chances if they so wish.
5. Otherwise, such policies of "freezing" should be clearly formalised and documented BEFORE such events.

Freezing is the worst thing they could have possibly done.
Anyone got the charts from last time they froze or even the infamous "rollback"?

BB.

I agree freezing is the worst thing, though trading had essentially frozen anyway

Why?

Free market should be allowed to correct itself.

Or if price doubled in short time maybe we should halt trading too?
