Two of the largest exchanges seems to be under DDOS (mtgox and bitstamp). And it wasn't 6 hours it was more like 1 hour.

Mtgox engine has a 40 minute lag, things will eventually go back to normal.

I think the big question is whether normal is $300 or $30... or $3.

When real-time trading data is available from MtGox these sites show up to date charts and seem to be the most up-to-date.

Seriously. It was at $30 a few weeks ago. It's hard to say what's normal when things are changing that quickly.

normal is when there's no lag. Now you can't trust those numbers

Wasn't Bitcoin at $100 just a couple of days ago? I feel like I'm watching a penny stock; and, while I would have enjoyed something like a 10x stock value worth if I'd gotten in when I thought to, this variability is scary
