How about considering a different exchange...like FOREX?
Topic: Huge selloff + Ordering not possible on MtGox - page 2. (Read 13210 times)
I am fairly sure it was a real order. Some people are reporting getting existing low bids filled. It was one very very large sell order, new orders were not able to be placed until it finished executing.
Edit: On the subject of hacking, I had USD and BTC in my Mt.Gox account and neither was effected.

I was able to get into the site while it was just over 1 dollar, I entered my bid at 0.8 but it kept giving "another trade in progress... blahhh"
if the site was actually useable while it was happening I should have been able to buy up a bunch, but no luck for me

time to consider leaving this trading platform....
fix'd
I think that hackers used a lot of hacked accounts to buy every btc they could get. Before doing this, they got a legit mtgox account and placed buying orders at fkn low prices like usd 0.01. That way they were able to steal the usd from the hacked accounts.
I had a buy order in at 10 that didn't get filled and actually the order has disappeared entirely from my Mt. Gox account.
So I take it the only people who were able to buy in this huge selloff, were poeple who actually had bid orders placed before this selloff?
Was anyone able to buy it during the selloff.
I got totally screwed here because I am waiting for my dwolla account to deposit my money from my bank account. I did not know dwolla took that long or I would have had money in mt. gox, and would have bought at less than $1.00 because I watched this whole thing unfold.

I WOULD NOT PUT ANY TRADES ON UNTIL WE HEAR FROM MARK!!! CLEARLY Mtgox has been hacked. What is happening is NOT somebody "dumping" their bitcoins to "cash out". Somebody managed to break into it, and it is playing with the database. We need to wait until Mark (Mtux) has a chance to check this mess.
If you put more orders, it will only mean overloading the system more and more, and more work afterwards to try and weed out good trades from bad trades.
ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT CASH OUT ANY MTGOX USD TO ANYBODY (LIKE BUYING MTGOX USD FOR A MONEY PACK) UNTIL WE HEAR FROM MARK!!
This is an ILLUSION created by a bunch of bots to create panic. DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO IT!

1) They are clearly "under attack" in terms of accessing the site.
2) No one really knows if the huge order was real, we cannot assume it was fake since they got good prices on the first part of the order.*
*Edit: Obviously something is strange about all of this...
If you are correct, then it could be days before trading resumes.
mtgox completely offline now?
was able to place an order when it was under 1$ but didn't receive ANY btc...
just think someone messed with the mtgox db.. don't think this was any legit trade
time to consider a security update on this trading platform....

your limited to withdrawing $1,000 worth of bitcoins a day
i had an open buy at $1 and it got filled. made about $200k assuming bitcoins stay where they are around $10, crazy shit. Should I transfer my coins to an external wallet?
Holy jesus, so people did make out. Can you verify that these are legit bitcoins that you can move out to an external wallet?
moving them now...
edit: no wait, mt gox is limiting my daily withdrawal
I call bullshit.
well, I got 80 of 22k bitcoins out of my account
fingers crossed I can get the rest when the site comes back Who has the sense to pay $10+ for something that people bought for less than $1 minutes ago?
Because it is the game* on a way to a more stable market - there are winner, there are loser. Lucky for all that had a nicely low bid at the right time. Unfortunately, I had not, but nevertheless great fun watching the market at http://bitcoinity.org/markets

Can anyone confirm that they had bitcoins in their mtgox account that were sold without them placing the sell order???
I personally never, ever leave any bitcoins on deposit at mtgox (nothing against mtgox, but just prudent IMO).

Is anyone who was lucky enough to login to MtGox and buy a lot of bitcons at this absurd price also generous enough to donate any to those of us who weren't? 
I have a feeling there may be after shocks from that sale over the course of today.

Beware the trolls.
I think someone hacked mtgox, selling all BTC from everyone's accounts
Yep, I think it's good time to sell after allNo, actually it's a good time to hold. But sell if you want, I'll add your underpriced coins to my collection
