To me it looks like someone found a way to make a quick arbitrage between gox and bitstamp, either withdrawals are back, tux is making the arbitrage or people in japan found a cheap way to deposit in bitstamp...
When was the last time prices where so close?

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy an adaptor cable which plugs into a motherboard's PCIe x16 slot, which then has 16 PCIe x1 slots attached to it, one PCIe lane each? I was wondering if it might work out cheaper if in addition to my expensive gas boiler I was to heat my house by Litecoin mining. Almost all the power used by the GPUs is lost as heat, but in winter heat is something I want and something I would have to pay for anyway. This would in effect be a noisy and bulky fan heater which generated both heat and money, the heat would make up for the fact that LTC mining uses a bit more electricity than the value of the LTC it mines.
Every calorie of heat the mining machine blows out is a calorie my boiler doesn't have to produce. Obviously there's the component costs too, those would have to be second hand, such as old HD5870s which work fairly well but aren't very expensive any more.
Maybe I could find a way to create such a cable if they're not commercially available
I think you mean something like this:

EDIT: Just say you wanted for it to have 16 slots, 4 is the biggest I saw, but perhaps there are bigger...
Took some profits at $123 on Bit - jeezus it's choppy around here
funny, people always tell us about their profits but never about their losses :p
Okay then, within a few seconds of me selling at $129 that whale bought his 5000BTC and then walled off the bid side at $135, just as if he'd been waiting for me to do that. (do whales have spy cameras everywhere?). Then I ended up buying in a few cents above his wall, compounding my mistake.
Fortunately, as I've said before, because I only have a few BTC this is annoying, not a disaster and I will make it back again. Had I been trading a few thousand BTC I'd be flipping out about that right now! However, I think I can survive losing 0.15BTC, the lesson is worth the price.
Oh well, mistakes are there to be learnt from
Well after the ask wall that was placed a few mins ago it looks like you may be getting your .15 btc back... i think it will go back until there is a 3/4 usd difference with bistamp, at least that is whats being happening all weekend... but I may be wrong though...
Looks like the ask wall dissapeared while you where writing the post down
bitstamp back to 100, gox to 123? i wonder what the price is going to be by the end of the day..
I just went to btcmarkets and it's 128, I missed becoming a millionaire again
