Gox is banning by IP? LOL, that's a terrible solution to the bot problem.
It's not a solution to the bot problem. gox wants bots, clearly.
It's part of a "solution" against ddos.

Has Gox limited or disabled the bots? If so, it's a bad omen when that results in almost no volume... Another indication of how much control the bots really have.
my "client" is effectively disabled. can't do api calls at all. don't know what to do to get around cloudfare ddos protection stuff. apparently this: http://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-im-under-attack-mode got activated.
crap, it's true. probably many bots are disabled. let's see what the humans do... probably not much.
Try disabling certificate checking.
nope, that's not it. I just tried exact same client from another host. works fine.
most likely my IP (or subnet, cause changing dyn ip doesn't help) is blocked by ddos protection (cloudfare). I can still use mtgox.com website, but according to ne0futur that's behind prolexic, not cloudfare.

Not to my knowledge. I guess there are simply no buy/sell signals for the bots.
What should a bot do if the market is moving sideways?
The error I'm getting with my bot is certificate verification failed. God only knows what they're up to.
Edit: Looks like data.mtgox.com is using the certificate from www.mtgox.com. It's amateur hour (or four), guys.
interesting... I get "http 403: forbidden" on http api calls to data.mtgox.com.
interesting 2.) same client works from another host.
No bots? Interesting. Would it be a good moment to dump a huge amounts of coins? Maybe no stop/loss would be triggered, thus avoiding panic to certain extent... Or what I'm saying is wrong? Honest question, I'm curious.

Prediction:
Soon the bot owners will realize they need to spoof an IP to get their bot back online. Total chaos will ensue.

Gox login page does not have green bar.
Shows a green bar to me.

How cool is it that the bearish highs and bullish lows have converged on the one month anniversary of the big crash from 266?
Mere coincidence or divine forces at work?

There's nothing "divine" about a month, though. arbitrary human construct, no?
Maybe not divine, but a month is not arbitrary. It is based on the lunar cycle.
And the whims of Roman emperors.

Wow, it is amazing to not see all those small orders going by. Looks more orderly. Stupid Question - The volume is not trades, but rather total BTC traded, right?
You know, to be honest, I think we are better off without the large bot trades. BTC is about a new form of money and if turns into machine traders then that is against what we are in a sense.

If this is true im floored by how much bots contribute to volume. I must be a dinosaur here, tradingwith my brain, eyes and mouse
I'm not surprised at all. The extent of bot control over the market is readily apparent by watching the moving walls on the Moody ticker.
Bitcoin's capitulation period will coincide with the realization that it is being pumped just like the alt-coins on BTCe.

Based on but not equal. The lunar cycle is 29.53059 days, while no month is.

Risto got his 700 btc ...
now worth 76,693.08 USD
92,000 was what he paid
(+ bank fees for sure)

When he sell them for 300k a piece in November and bank 200 millions you'd wish you haven't posted this

They're not worth ~77k US today, he can sell them today for that amount. They are worth considerably more
