Stop whining and use another exchange already.

Yeah ... that would look really good for Bitcoin too ... everybody abandoning Gox 

It may be a good business, but is a minefield of strict government regulations, hacker attacks, and being at the mercy of bankers. I know I would never do that business. You can gain, but you can lose it all without notice if some bureaucrat wakes up badly and shuts you down.

Nope, sir. It is already 102$ on btc-e, the major (working) BTC exchange.

What other exchanges are there?!

Btce is infested with java exploit links and its based in russia. Could use Bitstamp but they might be overwhelmed and get their bank account shut just as it happened with bitfloor, bitcoin24.

I hear you, but without a stable exchange infrastructure, the big bucks are not going to truly flow in, in my opinion

I never ever used mtgox, only bitfloor and bitstamp. More variety is good, but mtgox is just unstable and has a crappy UI so I stick to bitstamp now.

UPDATE: This again appears to be another strong DDos attack. We are working hard to overcome it and will update when possible. It's currently 2am in Japan so please forgive us if our Facebook/Twitter updates are not as quick, though the team is certainly not taking any breaks. We're very much looking forward to implementing a much stronger solution very soon and will make an announcement to that effect once it's in place.

Never a dull day at MtGox HQ. The DDoSers must be milking every last chance before the big exchanges at CoinLab and CoinSetter arrive, and before BitStamp gets bigger. Once there is more than one big exchange, DDoS of any one will have much less effect. Meanwhile the entire system grows stronger every time it is attacked, with the attackers being rewarded for their services in strengthening the system, effectively paving the way for further growth.

Without the attacks that have been occurring at a billion-dollar market cap, Bitcoin wouldn't be ready for the kinds of attacks that will come at ten and a hundred billion dollars.
