Stuff like this could become the biggest problem for BTC, Yet to see one exchange run rite.
Stuff like this *is* the biggest problem for BTC.
These are limited liability companies and customers probably feel they're close to banks.. if they go down, nothing much you can do.
As a UK guy I'm keeping my holdings as a majority on bitstamp cause I trust the UK way more than Japan to get my money back to some degree should this ever happen

So how would someone in the US go about selling BTC high and trying to rebuy for more?
I'm assuming Bitstamp would be the exchange to use?
Say I had 20 BTC and wanted to add it. If I put in to sell would I just get a USD credit to my account with which I could buy in again if it dropped?

Exactly.
I use Bitstamp almost exclusively. Just remember, there is a verification process.
Damn I thought the verification was only if you were using a bank account to add money or withdraw.
I've had the account for about 6 months and haven't verified it

My money is on a hardware failure and their failover hasn't worked due to it all being new gear and not properly tested.
I think they have have taken the website offline to stop new orders.
Edit, no it's back up

mb its an incoming 1 billion $ sell / buy, that broke the engine
Preferably a sell, I need time to get the money together to buy some Cheap Coins™ November 11, 2013, 11:07:35 AM
Stamp is 11$ away from it's own all time high i think or close to it
Gox set the trend of buy buy buy and then went dark.. wouldnt be surprised if Mark is dumping on Bitstamp so he can get paid

The problem might be to do with their backend, the website is up. It's like the trading engine is off.
This. It was actually lagging as others have said when trying to cancel orders early this morning, 5 hrs ago. It seems like it wouldn't be the trading engine per say, but the actually connections/sync between the engine and the web, maybe, not DDOS. Or it could be something else knowing them guys and they will all be zzzzing over there at this time anyway so I wouldn't count on it being sorted any time soon...

So i thought Gox said they were immune to ddos when they got on the Akamai network?

When this shit happened before it was because Gox was the one and only exchange in the market, but now it is in the 3rd fucking place and still can't handle their inflow of orders.
This is nuts, 6 months to fix lagging problems and here we are again. Im glad they don't have the same weigth on the market anymore.

As always I can't help thinking that these ddos attacks are probably by the US government and their banker pals, both of whom are famous for their dishonesty and criminal behaviour.

Storing BTC value with 3rd parties is risky. Storing BTC value with MtGox is insane.
I know, its just the trading BTC used to get more BTC
