I really don't understand how MtGox is still the default exchange. What with all you highly skilled technical enthusiasts devoting so much time an energy to the bitcoin experiment. Oh, wait, that would be actual work and not just a circlejerk. My bad.
The actual work is happening in a number of projects, including "buttercoin" that is a project that launched four days ago and has already built a working trading engine that is ridiculously fast (millions of transactions per second).

It is not fair however to assume that people haven't done anything, or that only those who have have a right to complain or an opinion.
