I notice bitcoinmarket is a lot cheaper than mtgox, or at least seems to be.  Is this an arbitrage opportunity?  Or is it just that the buyers aren't offering the price the sellers want?

I respectfully disagree, and I think most LRUSD traders would, too.

This warning seems to be not substantiated at all.

People should not look at the small exchanges as they are just not liquid enough.

I checked my account on MtGox and it is all perfect.

You forget that this is how ALL markets work. They are ALL emotional and there is herding.

We need to be be careful to avoid thinking that BTC could be having a stable exchange rate.

Dwdollar runs bitcoinmarket so he would know. I don't think he said anything about a problem on Mtgox.

Well. We experienced another day of volume record breaking. I think for the first time, we actually exceed slashdot era price record.


What can I say? It's absolutely nut.

The low was a software glitch, when someone put in an ask at .01 it should have met the high bid which was around .083 but instead was matched with the exact equal bid. It'll probably be taken out of the data like last time, the trade has already been reversed. The code should be fixed, it's happened once before.

You can tell it isn't real because there are no trades going all the way down, just one oddball way down there.

Without any evidence apart from my own feelings, I think the 30day withholding period is going to cause more volitility.

Up 'til 48 hours ago, i'd only put in bid/asks 2-3% either side of current market. Now I have to wait 30days, I'm just putting in radical speculative bids/asks well above/below the market.

Judging by the current Depth Chart, I'm guessing I'm not alone in the thinking of "Im stuck here so I might as well have fun!"
