Yes and we are the ones DDOSing it Tongue. Also it wouldn't surprise me if they are running the claim server on the first generation xBox  Roll Eyes.
I don't think insufficent hardware explains the server slowness.  There are only 60,000 accounts.  A P2 should be able to handle that.  They are almost certainly getting DDosed.

The hacker is retaliating for getting his heist shut down before withdrawing it maybe.


there were rumors the competition is behind it - I wonder if there is anything to it. Would probably not be so hard.

I think they just need to unplug their router and then plug it back in.

Some communication would be nice, but I'm still rooting for mtgox.  I have little choice until they are back up.

Ok, only usernames that start with A-E try for the next few hours, after that F-J.
Already suggested that in another thread but than by location Tongue. Just got with the timezone...

25% chance of ddos. 75% chance of noobs hitting F5.

Their site hasn't responded for a couple of hours now.  There is no way that even 60,000 clients logging in at once could take down a web site for hours on end.  I bet the hackers are DDosing Mt. Gox.

So if they keep doing that, how will we ever get back in?
