It's probably just a temporary MtGox access problem - unfortunately it happens from time to time - MtGox API isn't very stable :/   (you cannot get data from the URL https://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/info by loading it directly in the browser, as your API key has to be included in the header)

Right now, MtGox access works for me - have you tried restarting the extension? (or the whole browser)
Yes, over the past three days I restarted Chrome and reloaded the extension several times. I even spun up an EC2 instance just to be sure it wasn't some weird config issue on my computer... but I always got the same message in the bot. I'd read elsewhere that MtGox's API wasn't very stable so at first I assumed that was the problem, but when it persisted after a day I thought I might have set something wrong.

But you must have some Gox Voodoo because now that you've posted, there's no problem Smiley Thanks for replying!

MtGox has been very unstable the last days... Probably new DDoS-attacks against them :/
