Is it just how they write their database txes? Can you start a new db table against a master log say every 15 minutes so it's not writing to something the system can't handle?

This type of coding is far beyond me but you'd think a (relatively) modest market of BTC wouldn't pound an exchange so hard that it can't keep up. I know in other good threads it was explained that just faster HDDs or SSDs wouldn't solve the problem alone but if not that then what? Spread the load to more physical systems? I don't think you could simplify the necessary transaction data further.

It just seems so odd that in periods of insane activity that they crash. If they're in an office building I'd imagine their net in and out is fast enough to handle tons of small KB-sized chunks.

I'm all for someone having an exchange without lag, though I'm sure it's easier said than done.

wall street seems to manage it

But then they wouldn't make as much off panicing sellers... lol

Gox lag approaching 600 seconds. Record for them? Tongue

Sadly no.

I've seen 689.

I've seen above 1100, but that wasn't during this crash.

9 minutes lag, I have a feeling we're going to be heading down again.

I cant understand how gox has not done anything to fix this ancient lag problem, jeebers H the amount of money they are loosing by not fixing the problem has to be massive. What a joke they are (i have used them because they have the liquidity I need, I am now waiting for better before I trade again).
I hope someone comes along soon and takes the market off them with all the trimmings a big exchange needs for the upcoming big players, Trade Hill maybe?

Edit, don't worry. I've captured the ebb and flow of this correction in wonderful delicious market-adjustment photos. Coming soon once it's over.

I do not care price, nor volume, I need some graph of MtGox lag! Seems its on its highs, today.

It looks like there were some order sold ~ 1000 BTC sold not too long ago.

I've got >5000 more plus 4 avalons. I'll be ok. Lol.

If you're not trolling, you're just plain stupid for dumping that much on an exchange at once. Even more so doing it as a market order.

It appears that the market just gets a bit scared of heights sometimes

those are true words, man. that's the only things holding bitcoin back: disbelief. Disbelief that it can really be what it promises to be: one hard liquid world money.
