MtGox down

1. DDoS mtgox and the other exchanges<p>2. BTC comes down in price, buy it<p>3. BTC goes back up in price, sell it<p>4. profit!!!

Should I ask you bothered to link to a site that is under DDoS rather then simply doing a text blurb?...

They should Counterspell that DDoS.

I wonder if it is being ddos'd in an effort to move/convert the 43K bitcoins that allegedly went missing from Instawallet? I'm trying to figure out if there is an advantage to be gained by having them offline for that or not.

If it was intentional a more informative error should have been used. I'm sure the ops team at mtgox is quite experienced but these basic errors pages seem like a big oversight once you are running a fairly high trafficked site.

Rather hit or miss for me. Sometimes you'll get through and other times you'll get a 502. I've noticed it since earlier this morning (~9AM EST).

It's almost as if what was first written as a Magic the Gathering Online Trading platform isn't a bulletproof banking website.

Transferred coins from Coinbase to MtGox a minute before it went down. Just my luck.

I was in the middle of trading :-(

It's back, but slow.

Oh no!!! I was expecting BTC 0.01 deposit from my pool mining!!!<p>:)
