It doesn't matter if Mt. Gox ever opens for trading again. What matters is whether they pay out all the money they owe people.

Any other competent technical folks want to get together and discuss putting an exchange together? Not too impressed with the options we have right now.
Serious?
F**k sake, it's 3am (AEST) again and no updates.
Can't keep doing this every night!

No. The analogy is wrong. It's more like teasing the puppy with a biscuit and while the puppy moves in to get it you swiftly kick it in the head.

I'm not tech savvy guy, but wasn't there a way to prevent this mess???
Like several servers or anything?

You can only really use several servers for the website itself. The actual order matching need to be done on a single processor detached from the front end.
I've no idea how MTGox is run, but it's more than likely that adding more servers is not a trivial task due to the inherriant single nature task of order matching.... particularly if they've done some terrible job of integrating the order entry code (php most likely) with the order matching code (more php... lets hope not....).
That is of course assuming that the order matching is being done properly. As other people have commented about other exchanges, there are some wildly bizzare (and unfair / darn right illegal) order matching algorithms being used, so it might be in the case for MTGox that they could just add extra servers and hope that no two buys hit the same sell (or vice versa).
How many orders do they have to match so that it becomes the bottleneck in their service? I think the MySQL errors we saw in the first hour are just from too many MySQL connections from people accessing PHP pages which query the Database. A load balancing system would have been able to cope with this, even if you servers are in your aunts basement.
1 Week have passed, and the only visible progress I see is that Mt.Gox has a new logo.
Account history has changed, too !!!!
two thumbs up!
If they open when that fancy counter runs out Im there. Whole weekend has been wasted on this crap, could be playing golf right now.
Monday will be the driving range, destroying some gox balls.
@ campbx ADMIN: please prepare for a lot of hits !!!

They could at least detach the entering of orders into the database and the actual order processing. Also load balancing for the frontend (which is terribly slow) and for MySQL (which seems to crash frequently) should be a must-have. I doubt they have any of this...Any other competent technical folks want to get together and discuss putting an exchange together? Not too impressed with the options we have right now.
