That's a dump, not a crash. Virtually all of the buys were exhausted in one shot, and there is a huge span between buy and sell. My bet would be that someone wanted to offload a lot of L$ and whacked Sell Now...

<edit>Yes, that would do it. I just assumed he caught the GoM graph code being braindead and/or buggy and ignored the line. Oh well.</edit>

They did... not sure why, but they did.... now we need to see when the market ends up when the dust settles.... this could cause the market to drop too much

It's quite possible it was just one alt selling to another alt to see what would happen.

Yep, GOM seems to be down at the moment. Interesting.

It's probably nothing. Windows patches. RAM upgrade...

On their forum, they were talking about making some changes. They might have decided to implement something sooner rather than later given the activity we just saw.

Dang it. It looks the same too.

I was hoping for something sinister yet entertaining.

Yah, that was just one of the monthly outages we get. I have a pile of new code ready to go, but I'm going to do everyone a favour and *test* it a bit more. :) No changes last night.
