How can it be, that mtgox makes over $1 million USD per MONTH, and can't afford to hire competent server admins and buy good hardware to run their site?

Liquidity is a major problem on new exchanges.

Come on... the top exchange on the market has a completely indefensible position on this argument. They shouldn't have these issues period.

THIS! And the Imbecile's name is Mark Karpeles. Oh, and he sits on the Bitcoin Fundation board.

But they don't carry 80% of the bitcoin transactions do they?
I want to see them supporting the same volume. Again, I don't know how big are they in terms of transactions. I never used them


MtGox doesn't do 80% anymore.  It's a chicken and egg.  If you stay with Gox for the volume, volume will never move.

Every time there is a sell off and a spike in volume, he claims DDOS. The man is a lier and a certifiable idiot.

DDoS by the influx of new users perhaps, their unverified user queue stand nearly 6000, which itself is a joke.
