What a pathetic press release.
Sweepstake for hitting new ATH? I say Monday 15th.

Could it be! Gox was down because of authentic traffic? All the other charts and sites were
Gonna have to hit up comboy and see why he was down! Someone hit up clarkmoody and see if he was DDOSed! Where is theymos!? Ask him if bitcointalk was DDOSd today!!?
the forums were lagging like mad for me all day, and sometimes the forums didn't respond at all.
is it because of to many people hitting the forums all at once?
or was it DDOS...
is their a way to distinguish between DDOS and a million noobs hitting refresh?
Well you can run a cross check on youre ip traffic with a list of known botnet ip's.. You can use DDOS mitigation services that have analyses and forensic tools too...

Well the forum did smash the all time users online by a significant amount. Also, with most of the charts not working people probably refreshed a lot for new info
Well it's good to see things return to normal per se. Bitcoinity and Gox working smoothly and back to $170 now.
Continued the timelapse once Bitcointy came up but will do another large segment later tonight, then merge the two days into a longer clip. I wish I captured everything but it is what it is.

Im a wizard, lemme know if you need advice.
Im a wizard, lemme know if you need advice.
What would you advise a complete newcommer
1. Easiest / reasonably easiest place to open an account to buy / sell - where ?
2. What sort of time lag to get money back ( after a sell ) / bitcoins into wallet ( after a buy )
3. What else ?
Regards
New servers for MtGox? Thank the bitcoin gods... how about get ten times more than you guys think you need, and then ten more after that. Gox is always talking about fixing the issues, but they are never fixed...
they seem to be trying REALLY hard to lag the system but actually gox is holding just now, so hopefully they woke up and have done something.
The current state of affairs. Asian Tigers to the rescue tonight?
Good news is lots more bids than asks.
I honestly don't know any more. All I know is that I don't think its going below 110 any time soon and thats where i've got all my coins at
Lets look at it this way: The chances (assuming chances of more buys coming in and more sells coming in) of going above $260 again and gowng below $100 seem to be ~ the same. Seen in that light, everything seems pretty dandy at least from my point of view.

Wink, Wink!

Hi everyone, just a quick update on the situation and what happened last night.
First of all we would like to reassure you but no we were not last night victim of a DDoS but instead victim of our own success!
Indeed the rather astonishing amount of new account opened in the last few days added to the existing one plus the number of trade made a huge impact on the overall system that started to lag. As expected in such situation people started to panic, started to sell Bitcoin in mass (Panic Sale) resulting in an increase of trade that ultimately froze the trade engine!
To give you an idea of how impressive things were here are some numbers that we would love to share with you guys:
- The number of trades executed triple in the last 24hrs.
- The number of new account opened went from 60k for March alone to 75k new account created for the first few days of April! We now have roughly 20,000 new accounts created each day.
Due to these facts we have been busy working on improving things since last week and our team has been working around the clock to improve Mt.Gox to catch up with the demand. We will continue to release several updates today and in the coming few days to improve our system overall performance.
Also please note that we may have to close the exchange for two hours in the next 12 to 24hrs to add several new servers to our system.
Thank you for your understanding and continuous support!

Was able to snap this pic of bitcoin today.
Looks like the idiots trying to pop the bubble got something else instead.
Ares, that's exactly how i feel.
Anyway, on clark moody the lag is fine for me, every time it hits 10secs it seems to reset, the person trying to push the price down might find themselves screwed if they try to sell when people can actually buy back. We just saw real resistance at $150

Looks like it is going down again, gox lag slowly increasing too.
It went down because the damn 0.001 boy kept spamming down for hours and scaring already fearful traders. The bot owns bid are probably all being sold into right now and he is laughing his head off. ^^^^^^^ THIS!
