Strong words, I know
It is painfully obvious that we need to decentralize the exchange if we want bitcoin to survive
we are one well placed STUXNET or drone strike from total disaster
this single point of vulnerability is unacceptable
not to mention the fact that they refuse to keep pace with the currency's hardware and bandwidth needs

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

We do need Mtgox, but we need other big exchanges as well. And Mtgox needs to get their shit together.
Aaaaand Mtgoxlive is down again. They can't get anything right today =/

i wonder what kind of funds it would take to make a clone of sorts? perhaps it is feasible to start a donation fund and get one started within this community with all fees from transactions not going towards an owners profit but to be reinvested into hardware.

The obvious answer is a decentralized exchange. Wasn't somebody working on that, once upon a time?

development is a least of a problem, getting fiat funds in an out - you will have to deal with some regulations and acquire some money transmitting business license |

BITCOINICA needs some decentralisation badly as well.

Why? Have you had problems with Bitcoinica before (other than the "no reserve" issue)? |

so what do you mean by decentralize the exchange?
How do you do that with fiat currency?
Or do you mean have more exchanges that talk to one another?

that would be a good step ultimately a fully open source decentralized platform on TOR maybe? |

does the exchange have to fill the role of the moneychanger
there is a place for fiat interface for a fee in the market, doesn't mean it needs to be an effective monopoly on trading
