...I really hope this guy goes to jail. In my life i have seen such an incompetence....
savers lose their hard earned money. Just one catastrophic failure after the other and never learn.

Please. You're on *speculation forum* bitching about an overseas currency exchange. You are not a saver. You're a speculator -- chin up, bud!

I am not a saver, but i wouldn't say that there are not any saver around using mtgox and losing money with MtGox Lag or even at this very moment with their inhability to log into MtGox (or maybe yesterday night with ANOTHER outage).

Whoah. Savers are unaffected by lag -- only traders can get hurt. The money changers. Savers are fine (stupid to use Mt.Gox as a bank, but fine otherwise).

There are some services that need 24x7 SLAs and have to run 99,99% of the time. Mt Gox service compared with another IT company online-rate would compare to a potato chips third league online webpage. They are playing with people's money and they should start to be 24x7. They are hurting all the Bitcoin economy.

The only money Mt.Gox is playing with is that of ultra-high risk traders, who are willing to use Gox's services knowing full well how bad they are. Part of the game.

And to those saying (why don't you do it youself?): If my son needs to go to the hospital and they cut off the other leg, i cannot complain because the doctor would say (hey!! why didn't you learn medicine?)

If you took your son to a totally unregulated hospital, and your friends, family & everyone with nothing better to do told you how awful the hospital is, and that wrong legs of children are cut off dayly... What was the question again?

He actually has a right to be pissed. It's one thing to be screwed by the market itself, but how would you feel if you lost money in your bank account because your bank fucked up?

As for me, this sort of shit is inevitable. How old is BTC? How old is MtGox?

We are taking a journey through the new world, you can't expect less, hell, it should be worse.

EDIT: Though, I'm pretty pissed at America all the time so I don't blame MtGox for any American centric issues.

My point is lousy exchanges are a part of unregulated market (as it stands -- i'm not saying it's intrinsic to lack of regulation). A trader is responsible for taking all the risks into account.

You're right.

And to be honest, I kind of like this "unregulated" market.
