It is not clear to me why Mt Gox did not suspend trading when the order lag reached 20 minutes and/or once the webpage began returning "Database error" messages

A lot of people are commenting that this will be remembered as the day btc crashed the second time. In my opinion a more accurate characterization would be that today is the day that Mt. Gox crashed.
- bdcravens 14y agoWhen Mt. Gox was hacked, everyone assumed they were done, and folks like TradeHill were the future of BTC exchange. Mt. Gox came back, TradeHill got out (though they recently relaunched after several months), and I'm sure that led to a feeling of bulletproofness on Mt. Gox's part.
