MtGox down
- jtokoph 14y agoIt's back, but slow.
- yebyen 14y ago502 Bad Gateway nginx/1.3.11
- andersonmat 14y agoRather 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).
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI 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.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoThey got ddos'd last week too. I think they're mostly just a big shiny target.
- impostervt 14y agoFor..extortion? "Give us a lot of bitcoins or we'll take your site down"?
- homosaur 14y agoThat's what happens to all the gambling sites
- ajross 14y agoOr they took the site down intentionally to make the laundering of the same coins more difficult. Who knows?
- ChuckMcM 14y agoSomebody knows, I hope they post a link to that here at some point.
- iguana 14y ago1. DDoS mtgox and the other exchanges 2. BTC comes down in price, buy it 3. BTC goes back up in price, sell it 4. profit!!!
- ebbv 14y agoThey should Counterspell that DDoS.
- windsurfer 14y agoIs this a reference to Magic: The Gathering?
- ebbv 14y agoCounterspell UU Interrupt Counters target spell. Uncommon
- mpyne 14y agoAh yes, the good old days when we got to argue over the fine points of the differences between an "Interrupt" and an "Instant" effect.
- ebbv 14y agoInterrupts resolution point which happened within the casting time of Instants or Sorceries. So you could cast an Interrupt "while" an Instant or Sorcery was still casting, but Instants (or Sorceries) had to wait for the current spell to finish casting. This was of course all ditched when MtG switch to a last in, first out stack model with all instants.
- windsurfer 14y agoAnd then added back in when they introduced "Split second" (kind of).

- mey 14y agoShould I ask you bothered to link to a site that is under DDoS rather then simply doing a text blurb?...
- benatkin 14y agoBecause HN's traffic is just a drop in the bucket.
- evan_ 14y agoBut there's no point to linking to a website that's not responding.
- lurkinggrue 14y agoShould have taken a screenshot and posted it to imgur.
- polofel 14y agoI was in the middle of trading :-(
- gesman 14y agoOh no!!! I was expecting BTC 0.01 deposit from my pool mining!!! :)
- joeco 14y agoTransferred coins from Coinbase to MtGox a minute before it went down. Just my luck.
- iambpentameter 14y agoIf 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.
- nicpottier 14y agoI've used MtGox a bit over the past weeks and there isn't much that gives me reassurance that they have a good technical team. Frankly I find it terrifying that they are dealing with so much money daily. My one hope is that the recent rise in price will attract some better players to the ecosystem. Would love it if blockchain.info did as they are the only site that seems clueful, though I can understand why the regulatory burden would give someone pause.
