mircea_popescu: it's a win-win : the noobs get bragging rights (which they don'
t know how to use, but hey, youth), mtgox gets out of some stick.
mircea_popescu: after the french fiasco they certainly didn'
t feel the need for a replay, so.
BingoBongo: I dunno yCombinator has all of that renting apartments out to methheads money Mircea, it was probably either bought, hyped, or humiliated. I don'
t think Gox was forced, but I say this with a low degree of confidence.
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, god knows i'm well loved and i can'
t think of anyone or anything that'd have it in for me.
BingoBongo: You're welcome. It's one of those World Baseball Classic penny bets, because apparently that didn'
t have enough chutzpah to attract much interest. I've had too much vodka tonight to mess with the python script so I don'
t know at this weight if I will clear anything, but fuck it. Bitcoin is an MMORPG and that's what I'm telling the 5-0
mod6: i don'
t want them to wait 3 days
Luke-Jr: mod6: I don'
t care how it's financed
maximian: If you didn'
t know the origin of the transactions, what would you say?
mod6: ok. i don'
t care if he starts his own client.
mod6: this is like his own fork isn'
t it?
BingoBongo: Rome isn'
t it? He's catholic his local stuff doesn'
t matter. I just wonder which of the BitBet pope bets are his.
mod6: (20:54) < jcpham> luke-jr if you don'
t stfu about SD i'm going to burn your church down
mircea_popescu: the thing is... unlike fiat that shit doesn'
t work here.
BingoBongo: The anti-SD crusade isn'
t going to kill bitcoin. The crusaders are more people who liberated their bitcoins by freeing them into S.Dice's arms. Probably... except for Luke.
mircea_popescu: i dunno why it didn'
t get more traction, should be a cult classic.
mircea_popescu: lol i don'
t think luke has the resources for something like this.
mod6: there was talk about raising min fee to .01 or something, but that doesn'
t give incentive to not use anything else gay like PP
Diablo-D3: bitcoin will just shove SD tx out because they don'
t pay fees
mod6: if they move up to 1Mb that buys them some time, but isn'
t any different then what the global central banks are doing
jcpham: if txns aren'
t going through that's a problem
jcpham: i don'
t care so much about SD
BitHub: i didn'
t care before till i had to start waiting hours and hours and hours for 1 confirm
BingoBongo: mircea_popescu it isn'
t that unlike James
BingoBongo: My french isn'
t good enough to make an informed opinion on Diderot's
Diablo-D3: modern medicine refuses to accept the treatment because they can'
t charge obscene amounts of money for it
BingoBongo: Thanks. Have you though about just storing a copy of the Trilema archive in the namecoin blockchain. I don'
t think they'd mind.
BingoBongo: I actually came on here today because i was wondering why I couldn'
t ready your classic on the housing crisis.
BitHub: ahh man i really shouldn'
t use this thing when i first wake up
assbot: Aren'
t those tins of tobacco right there behind you?
mircea_popescu: because i tell you something, when they won'
t be able to take me down they'll harass you
mircea_popescu: tghen if you serve 500 pages in a day it's suddenly... we're only hosters if you don'
t get traffic.
jurov: you didn'
t understand me.. i can now vanish with all customers funds
jurov: so, phungus from bitvps blames me and he won'
t enable my vps access anymore
dub: I can'
t take credit its from the forum
dub: acording to arbor anyway, I don'
t recall noticing any of them
mircea_popescu: jcpham i think someone might have noticed that mpex didn'
t answer on 23
mircea_popescu: a. a lot of calls closed up past 24 hours. those don'
t count.
mjr__: hmm couldn'
t you conceivably use QoS to give
http traffic priority on the router
Lyspooner: my sentiment is that the options aren'
t there right now
mjr__: hmmm, and since it is routers not boxes, proxies won'
t really help?
mircea_popescu: cdn doesn'
t do this. there are ddos protection services out there, but all have their own issues
mjr__: and CDN couldn'
t fix either?
mircea_popescu: as a relative rock bottom, if things can'
t be otherwise resolved within a couple of days i will have a vpn installed. this has the disadvantage that it puts the brokers in an iffy spot
mjr__: out of curiosity and i haven'
t really thought this all the way through
mircea_popescu: but to expand on the plan : as an absolute rock bottom if things can'
t be otherwise resolved within a week, i will publish a gmail address, and trade will work via email (you email your paste instead of putting into site, you get it back)
mircea_popescu: mjr__ right now you can'
t. what are you trying to do ?
dub: I don'
t need to tell you that the only people who checked it out are serious miners
gribble: burnside was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 22 hours, and 30 seconds ago: <burnside> I don'
t think so.
mircea_popescu: and if you think people won'
t be buying asics at 1k a pop, let me tell you something :
mircea_popescu: it's just some people don'
t know how to account, and so the 5k "is free"
dub: right, so much like we won'
t have teh market you percieve as free for much longer, bitcoin will stop working
mircea_popescu: if they don'
t follow i'm going to start my own devteam and fork bitcoin.
assbot: Um, shouldn'
t you be with your own tribe or somethin'?
mircea_popescu: rather than the incorrect dev attitude of "so don'
t do that!"
dub: but there is a scaling problem due to SD, you can'
t argue against that
mjr__: i take it you don'
t like the Soft BP?
mjr__: i don'
t think they are stupid necessarily
mircea_popescu: the problem is most of the people who think they're devs for no reason aren;
t out yet.
mircea_popescu: the network works fine with sd. what it doesn'
t work fine with is the appalingly poor quality of coding
mircea_popescu: "the poor aren'
t voting to steal from the rich because they've not been sufficiently explaining the benefits of theft"
dub: the majority don'
t agree
mjr_: because if the majority agree...they do it, if they don'
t, you were wrong
mjr_: that is the point, if what you think "should" happen, then if it really should, it will...if it shouldn'
t it won'
t mjr_: for anyone to say that the people who came up with this system didn'
t get what they want is retarded
mjr_: it hasn'
t worked for them AT ALL
mjr_: dub: i feel that what they are saying is that "the blockchain shouldn'
t be used for individual grains of rice, so no rice for anyone"
mjr_: mircea: to be fair, i don'
t think that the protocol EXCLUDES the use of a layer on top of it that could replicate "accounts"...
mjr_: its like they don'
t understand what "free market" means
mircea_popescu: proving that mpex can'
t be effectually attacked is part of the game
nanotube: and if you use gribble/supy as base, it by default limits number of commands per user per time, so they can'
t even flood it out.
nanotube: mircea_popescu: should be pretty trivial to set up an irc bot that just takes user input and passes it along to your server. if you set it up with a cloak, attackers can'
t even know its ip.
jurov: can'
t get over it... namworld said "o mpex.coinbr.com has problems, prolly ddos" and he went to sleep
mircea_popescu: imsaguy yeah. last i talked to nanotube he was like "i don'
t want this in production handling opm"
mircea_popescu: (and i don'
t think they have enough to cope, but maybe)
Luke-Jr: not anarchist lunatics who can'
t figure out the most obvious legal scenario
Luke-Jr: I don'
t care who it is, if they flood the network it's miners' job to filter them out
mircea_popescu: i can make 1mn txs right now, you won'
t be able to produce an accurate usercount.
mircea_popescu: 1M user with 1000 tx/sec is easier than 10 users with 1000 tx/sec <<< you can'
t even distinguish users apart.
