Its great that they get this extremely fast trading engine now that they are dead.

I mean, the current engine rarely gets significant lag. Definitely not enough to cause panic. It does sometimes take awhile to execute larger orders [Doesnt show any lag, but it takes, literally, 1 minute for a 10k sell to go thru, for example]

Sorry Gox, TOO LATE!

I wonder what bitstamp has got.

Midas is the new trading engine, that can do 500k transactions/second, so we can flashcrash to 0 in a matter of seconds when fbi dumps those SR seized coins Wink

Midas is a magic word MtGox is using to postpone their demise Cheesy

Unsuccessfully so far.

Sorry, I'm not getting the reference. Am I missing something?

Midas - Everything he touched would turn to gold

Midas (Gox edition) - Everything he touched would turn to shit.gold

Gold is appropriate, (Midas wanted wealth but got heavy Gold 1.0)
We want Gold 2.0 but once Gox touches it it becomes a heavy immovable substitute something like gold 1.0

I guess it has to do with Greek mythology? Or drama? Or tragedy?
So many Greek words that fit Mt.Gox.

Edit:

Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midas

Guess what, a story that ended badly for persons in power because of too much greed

WE WANT WORKING WITHDRAWALS  Angry



aaaand gox will give you useless ltc withdrawals.

the irony...

Well, not yet... But I agree that they're useless in this regard.

Anyway, I was thinking to write "...working fiat withdrawals", but that would've broken the alliteration  Tongue

Aww how cute. <3

I love you, too   Kiss

Personally I don't care about Gox withdrawals -- I don't have any coins/fiat left there. But if there's one thing Gox better had fixed already last month then this.
