Open Source Exchange - Open Source MtGox

[cly]

I'd like to start a petition to make MtGox releasing their Software OpenSource (e.g. Apache2, MIT License)

So we can check and double check the Code, run load tests etc.

So we can build up our exchanges on our own to have a valid fallback if mtgox fails next time.


How do we achieve this goal?

Mt. Gox Code is not good.

There are other exchanges that perform better.

What Mt. Gox has in advantage:
1. Security
2. Support
3. Self-explanatory site structure

Yeah. You know open source? If you don't:
It is about making S/W better by crowd sourcing.

Myself would spend at least 40 hours to have a look at the code and make some patches to stabilize the software.

This is why the satoshi client is open source!!!

I do not like to see bitcoin breaking down because of mtgox fails!!!!

Open source solutions for stock exchanges and currency exchanges would be a great idea, but there doesn't seem to be any will or funding behind it for now.

All this are thanks for MTGOX and now it stopped. Why we support Mt to be the No.1 BitCoin Exchange over the World? Never trade my BTC in MT.
