Whining about Mt Gox

[Forp]

I am following this Mt Gox thing on and off, once in a while.

I was asking myself how many of those who complain about their service ever had the idea (courage, ability, balls) to offer a similar service and face the possibly conneted riscs.

Disclaimer: I have no account at Mt Gox (until now) and did not lose money with them (until now).

I switched to tradehill since mtgox cost me alot of bitcoins in the debacle. I will never use them again.

Missing option: Switched to other existing exchange.

It looks like I didn't succeed in bringing home my message.

The issue is: Bitcoin is still at the very beginning. While I am very smpathetic with people who lost money due to a stolen wallet or a crash at Mt Gox or some other reason - I am a bit upset at those who just consume and, if it does not work exactly as expected, whine and complain.

Why don't you open up a competing exchange, if you do not like Mt Gox ?

Why don't you provide some software fix to improve wallet security ?

Why don't you write up a guid on bitcoin ?

If you want this endeavour to succeed - we all must contribute.

Some do, and some do very much. Thanx to the supporters of bitcoin !
