Not sure if everyone is aware, but Mt. Gox is now completely down.  I wonder if they've made it to the bahamas yet...

Mt.Gox is online and operational.

I think there are some trolls taking advantage of the negative mood to try and generate panic selling. Not that it will work because Gox is no longer the only exchange and their volume is lower than most of the other exchanges by now - so in a way Gox matters if you have money there but if they vanish like a noodle, the price of BTC couldn't care...

Rumours of insolvency are also stupid - anyone who understands the exchange business model can tell you that - they make silly amounts of money by just existing - imagine with all the sell transactions happening in the past week - they can probably fund a small country with last week's profits alone!

The actual technical issues at Gox are described here by Bitcoin Dev, Greg Maxwell:

So Gox is having real issues that can be seen in the blockchain and have been acknowledged by core developers. The present dilemma is a slow shutdown to sort out an accounting mess - that's what the article implies anyway. However, the fact that Gox has terrible customer service and does not communicate quickly and transparently is a big shame. Unacceptable, and I hope their customers give them a thorough spanking for being bad, bad, bad!

Die gox die. Gox really needs to die. When gox is finally dead it will symbolize a new era when the market has moved away from centralized manipulated prices and into something more stable and usable from a merchant and user perpective, supported by actual supply, demand, and liquidity.

Monday will probably be a big day (for better or worse)...price could tank some more or it could possibly rebound if by some miracle, order can be restored at Gox. They are probably trying to seek some funding (behind closed doors) to give themselves some liquidity..

Statement Regarding BTC Withdrawal Delays

Tokyo - JAPAN - February 07, 2014

Dear MtGox Customers,

In our efforts to resolve the issue being encountered by various bitcoin withdrawals, it was determined that the increase in the flow of withdrawal requests has hindered our efforts on a technical level. To understand the issue thoroughly, the system needs to be in a static state.

In order for our team to resolve the withdrawal issue it is necessary for a temporarily pause on all withdrawal requests to obtain a clear technical view of the current processes.

We apologize for the sudden short notice. All bitcoin withdrawal requests will be on pause, and the withdrawals in the system will be returned to your MtGox wallet and can be reinitiated once the issue is resolved. The trading platform will perform as usual for the needs of our customers. 



Our team will resolve this problem as soon as possible and will provide an update on Monday, February 10, 2014 (JST).



We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused, and thank you for your kind support and considerations. 


Sincerely,

The MtGox Team

Even if they do come back, I wonder how many account holders will just get their coins out and leave...

Seems god is faking ticker data, site has been down for a bit here, yet the ticker keeps going both ways

It might be bots buying and selling, either way the website is pretty much down. Doesn't mean API's won't work.

Their API ticker is alive and shows price updates (I have a charting application using it that I’m running right now).
