Title: If only people would use other exchanges...
Post by: Wuji on April 12, 2013, 03:52:42 AM
Since Mt. Gox is so heavily used nobody really knows how the other exchanges would hold under heavier load.  I'm wondering if there is a good alternative as I really don't want to use Mt Gox the way it is now.  I suggest everyone think about moving to other exchanges but not everyone just pick one together.  This would take load off of Mt. Gox which helps it while helping ourselves.  Also spread the load between exchanges so there isn't a central point to DDOS.  Just a thought, unless they get their act together in the next week or two I'm for sure buying back in at another exchange.

You go to other exchanges. I'm staying with MtGox cause they are obviously the best.

Haha funny but seriously I'm thinking campBX myself.  I was thinking BTC-E but then the massive hack of accounts today.  Although I think that is people clicking on links they shouldn't have it seems BTC-E allowed the links to be posted on their site. SMH

Well apparently there is only one exchange, because all the other exchanges are absolutely rudderless without Gox.

Exactly why people need to spread out so 80% of the BTC eggs aren't trapped in one fail basket.
