First of all mt.Gox is almost certainly understaffed, can't really blame them though as the community just grew too fast and they simply can't keep up with the growth.

Which makes it very dangerous to operate 24/7 on fully automated systems. I could be wrong, but they surely did not respond in time when their system was breached.

Now if they were to switch to an regular operating hours, such as the 9am-4pm, I'm sure they can easily hire a few human security monitors, who works for about 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, so if a problem is discovered they can do an emergency manual shut off to minimize the damage.

What do you guys think? Discuss!

Because up to now, no BTC exchange has the manpower for it.

How hard would it be to petition FOREX to list Bitcoin?
