Topic: MtGox will change their trading rules today, right? (Read 3025 times)
Coinlab sounds great.
Wasn't Gox supposed to ditch its western users at some point in time?
AFAIK they're only gonna be handing over their US users to their new partner, Coinlab...i could be wrong though...

Has this been changed yet? Or is it still possible to place unfunded orders? Lag is much better than before, but I still think these levels of lag are unacceptable.
I'm getting lots of 502 bad gateway errors right now. Anyone else ?
Yes, me too. 
yeah.
When i did get in, it was also not showing my orders properly in the order list, although they were counted in the toolbar. So I couldn't change or cancel them. Freaked me out for a sec.
These guys are such pros.

nope, I can place unfunded orders just fine.
Any change today?
nope, I can place unfunded orders just fine.
Some people said that it isn't put in place yet, and it is already the 17th...
If this is implemented, people that want this behavior will have to setup a bot to keep polling on their balance and now not only will there be some processing required on Gox's side but it will also used up their bandwidth needlessly 
wtf, youre telling me i could just put an order in to buy 10000 BTC at $100 to make it seem like there was a huge demand for BTC without having a single cent in my account? that is the most stupid thing ever, I can't believe this has only just been changed.
Nope. It doesn't show on order book, just shows on your order list so it'll automatically get added when your funds arrive.But still, I guess that the database must keep that unfilled order in mind, which would slow the system down.
Yes, that's what they said. Otherwise there wouldn't be a need to change it. So far it doesn't seem to be in place.

I kinda support it, but it was useful when trying to catch the price...
not sure what they changed but they're on minute lag right now
I don't like this change, since it can take a while for coins to make it into MtGox. I liked how I could do my transfer, go set my sell order, and go to bed. Once the coins finally were confirmed enough to show up, I didn't need to be there to place the sell order afterwards. Just my preference.
For performance they could move unfunded orders to a separate table and then check them for funding every minute or so and move them back to the live server once funded. Just give people a heads up "unfunded order may have an X minute delay before going live, once funded".
