It will take YEARS to withdraw 7million USD from Gox, with the $1000 daily withdraw limit.

The $1k per day is not a hard limit.

It can be raised to 10k or more if you send in personal identification to Mark/Tibanne.

If nothing else, this Mt Gox bug allowed me to sell bitcoins at way above the recent average price.  The trades were not wound back.  Bots reacted to the erroneous price and raised their bids, allowing human traders to take advantage.  Just one of the dangers of letting bots roam free.
Of letting them roam free on an unregulated marketplace that can give completely bogus pricing information and has no rules on how to handle this, anyway.

human errors happen - was caught and repaired

communication was good in realtime and also afterwards more "official".

but for FSM sake - GET A PROPER TEST/STAGING SYSTEM *and test rollouts under load* before doing this in production

As such, trades in the order book continued to execute during the upgrade.

Does this mean that you intended to freeze all trading during the upgrade?


Why not have scheduled downtime for this kind of upgrade and/or maintenance?

Now we can't contact the owner of Mtgox. that's the sad results of no phone number left on website.

260 people contacted the owner of mtgox on the official #mgox  support IRC channel and had immediate answers from MagicalTux

 If you had a phone number to contact us , you d have useless answers from an underpaid offshore call center employee ( and you would probably pay more fees to pay a useless call center in india ).

 mtgox support is by email and realtime on IRC , channel #mtgox, server chat.freenode.net

 this was a bug after a database upgrade to support multi-currencies soon.
 Eveything is back to normal now.

 an official communication will soon come.

Democracy is the original 51% attack
it was probably some kind of a wormwhole bug which caused MtGox to display the USD exchange-rate from some day in the future. With the realistic possibility of a US default, we could actually see it happens sooner than later.


LOL that's the best explanation yet.

Okay... any official statement on this?

Was any fake money withdrawn? Where does the nonsense come from? Or is this just a successful troll raid timed with an unlikely buy order of around 20k BTC?

I don't see any of the insane spikes people claim to have come by.

I need it to drop to 9.


Why to you want to sell at 9, when you can make more money at 10?
