gesell: as i was saying yesterday, if each execution of an order requires gox to recaculate
a bunch of things such as your current fee bracket, in addition to properly matching, then mangification at the cpu level is possible. and another argument for throttling oders per second per user until gox finds solutions

a ddos affect the matching and execution engine?

a fraction of my portfolio

a flashcrash?
