- yaongi 14y agoWhy should they prevent panic selling? They didn't prevent panic buying...
- krcz 14y agoI'm not sure if shutting down is a great idea to prevent panic.
- SilasX 14y agoMost major financial exchanges, however, are sure.
- CodeCube 14y agoJust curious, but where are you getting this graph from?

- makomk 14y agoSo far there's just been mysterious lag every time the price starts to drop that stops people from actually selling...
- aychedee 14y agoThat 'lag' is every single person trying to sell their holdings at once.
- ceejayoz 14y ago> I wonder why MtGox doesn't shut down for the day to deter panic selling? Because the next morning everyone panics that MtGox feels they can lock you out of your money and withdraws everything?
- tibbon 14y agoIs that the likely root of that fall? Any idea who/why someone is DDOSing them? And why they are so effective at it? Can't they just use Cloudfront which supposibly 'fixes' DDOS issues?
