Given the $1B+ market cap, and their market share, you'd expect that the required infrastructure costs would not be an obstacle (though apparently they are, and probably will be, in the sort term). Then again, the rise has been meteoric and it would have been a tough sell, to investors, a few months ago, no doubt. Depending upon your perspective, it's either a liability or advantage for first movers. I suspect the latter is the case, if you are prepared to weather some potentially heart attack inducing events in the near future.

Bitcoin is growing faster than the infrastructure can grow to accommodate it, but outfits like mtgox are exacerbating the problem. I'm 90% sure they will not be around in 4 years. They've had the time and they have the revenue to sort out the trading lag and general unreliability. There is money, A LOT of money, out there to be scooped up by whoever can get a group of good programmers together to build a robust exchange.

clarkmoody is working again now for me. I hope MtGox is investing in, and upgrading, their servers 24/7. Things could go crazy in the coming week(s) not to mention months. There could easily be 10x the activity soon.

I second this, the greatest shitstorm of our lifes is about to hit.

Look into other exchanges, vote with your wallet. Bitstamp is very good exchange.

In my case, this afternoon clarkmoody didn't load depth of market (EUR) but the chart was updated. Right now it works correctly.

http://bitcoinity.org/markets is working though - thanks, though it lacks the detail from clarkmoody.

clarkemoody loads the depth of market data but the streaming feed of buys/sells doesn't work. Tried in different browsers and even over TOR.

"Server overloaded. Please come back later!"

WTF? This is bad for business.
