MtGox should lose everyone's trust when you learn they have minutes of trade lag.

How do you know how much lag is going on?

We calculate how fast the monkey can print out the order that comes in on a 386 running debian 6, hand it off to the rabbit who carries it to the new larger file cabinet gox uses for their upgraded debase.  Then how long it takes a myopic octogenarian to translate the hex into base 10, followed by a stamp for a trade confirm, then back on the rabbit to the monkey who updates the feed on the 386.

I got a buy order in for a few btc @ $50.  System says order was taken.

mtgox price is @ 81 usd.

getting 502 bad gateway now.

I hope my order gets filled.
quite the risk taker i see?

I'm testing the system more then trying to take a risk.

If there is a lot of uncoordinated institutional money tied into the run up, then many could freak and bail which could pull that 2 billion market cap down to 200MM. <-- at that price $50 is expensive.

Price is what you pay, value is what you get.  The value I'm getting now is testing the systems, and understanding the risk with the exchanges... people pay to know these things.

Entrepreneur, coder, hacker, pundit, humanist.
LOL

Don't trade, the trading engine can't handle trading.

Basically, it's crashed again. 10 minutes lag would be a suspension of trading in any other exchange.

Just stay down MTGOX. Stay down, and give people refunds so they can go use a real exchange, one of the other dozen or so built by capable engineers.
