someone called order/add without passing a currency couple in the new api (was not possible before, but since we standardized calls it became possible)
and order/add didn't check if it had a currency couple, since it was not possible to not pass one when it was created
not possible anymore, anyway
I'll get a clean announce made explaining what happened and how it won't happen again monday
(and maybe I should get myself a really loud pager for these specific cases)
We'll get an emergency update posted, main priority is to ensure there was no bigger issue than that and resume trading

Next time, launch new API's after waking up. Not before going to sleep!

There's something called software testing as well, unit tests etc. You don't launch something and 'hope it works'.

passing a currency couple

What does this mean?

from what i can tell it seems like there was some sort of an error in the system that set off a manual intervention....somehow someone set a buy order without any BTC amount attached to it.  very odd and am awaiting an official statement for gox

MagicalTux> looks like someone managed somehow to place an order to buy a couple of nothing
MagicalTux> there was a buy order without "BTC" set

Where is some acknowledgement from empty-gox?



Yes, they need to start explaining what the "techinical problem" was so that we can trust them.

some reputable Community members can send a txt/mail to a dedicated device that will turn the bucket upside down, and thus wet-booting Mark so he can mend his Gox services.

Is this patented yet?

at least BTC withdrawal still works

That's good.

but not so fast

the only trade in 7 hours is only 0.2 BTC



This looks more like a performance problem, than a crash. So more probably a technical reason.

I think, things like this ensures that there is more space for new innovative services on the market for new players.

The relatively small 180 or so bitcoin loss I took from the (most recent) bitcoinica debacle helped me realize that I should be in total control of my bitcoins as often as possible.  I hope nothing serious is happening here, but if it is something serious, then my appreciation for my appreciation of one of bitcoin's most revolutionary properties - that people can safeguard their own wealth - will grow even more than it already has over the past several weeks.  Good luck everyone.
