It's quite likely that there is nothing to worry about. We'll just have to wait a bit to find out what's going on. People seem to be paranoid about Gox these days for absolutely no reason. They've had some issues with Dwolla which have nothing to do with Gox, and suddenly people are all "it's going to fold any day". Give me a break for Satoshi's sake.

At the very least, Gox has a serious communication problem. How long did it take them to even start explaining the Dwolla situation?

No announcement or anything - are the trades still happening against those on the book before this happened?

Nope, no trades for almost 6 hours

As I saw no response from MT.Gox support and the site is stopped for more than 4 hours I decided to withdraw my btc's. What happened I do not know, but I would not wait whatever it is to come good or bad, I'm safe now.

The symptoms are others than one week before: Order list is seen now, orders can be cancelled, but new orders are kept in a "pending" state.

So I think, for some reason new orders cannot be placed, but existing ones are cancelled, so the gap between bid and ask grows.

Suppose it's only a technical issue. Waiting on Mt.Gox to wake up.

I wonder, currently if you look at orderbook you can see how price is changing, and on the bid side it is droping and on asks side it is rising.

Would it be from technical and financial point of view better to shut down the orderbooks too , because in current situation when there is no actual trading orderbook cannot be qualified as representing actual market status.

I mean will this induce panic or? What am I missing?

I wish I could hear this conversation. I imagine it'd be a fun listen.

My freakin' luck.

I literally haven't traded anything in over a year. Just this morning I was like, "What the hay" transferred a majority of my BTC (I don't have many to begin with) to Mt. Gox and leave for a nice stroll. Come back and see this and brain goes into panic mode.

Looks like I was able to bring my BTC back home, so that's good.

A similar thing happened last week at around the same time

Strangly, that this was unnoticed by the community

Are you saying you noticed it as well? It was like 10 AM UTC. I was also coming home after a night out though so I didn't bother mentioning anything just in case I was just dumb at the moment.

Check the orders between 9-10 AM UTC on 6/16. There are like 10 minute gaps.
