gesell: mircea_popescu: havent no

gesell: mircea_popescu: i cant wrap my head around how that would all play out. just assume before running any bot one would make comfortable limits, and some way to guage when things are getting out of control so you know when to turn off

gesell: mircea_popescu: what do you mean by fake trades? I think on btc24, unlike mtgox, if you buy your fiat gets locked and you cant make another order. same on sell. of course their own local bots could fake, but i could not prove this. and actually they wouldnt have to fake, if all they really want to do is some moderate protection from arbitrage

gesell: mircea_popescu: not sure. i think i just dont explain abstract thoughts well.

gesell: mircea_popescu: hobby web dev for aesthetics. serious code and hardware hacker for the $

gesell: mircea_popescu: for lack of a better comparison... say for instance that some brokerage firm was had their own interface to nyse showing trades and tickers. this would "feel" decoupled from the excchange itself so people would not associate the two. if nyse decided to change how they present themselves that brokerage face would not be percieved as, i dont know, a quick crutch to fill the gap. where as when it is mirroring nyse so closely

gesell: mircea_popescu: well its also strange that the proxy seems to be a mirror. as apposed to it being it's own form of interface.

gesell: mircea_popescu: it's the face. but is interesting to contemplate what that means and reshaping it.

gesell: mircea_popescu: are those feeds not effected by the ddos?

gesell: mircea_popescu: not in bit. checking again

gesell: mircea_popescu: well i would be happy to make some spreadsheets to pull the order books but this would require some sort of mpex api (json or xml or whatever) for that and again, leave you open to ddos. but if you pushed the data onto your own public spreadsheet you would avoid any ddos on your public facing graphs and orderbooks

gesell: mircea_popescu: why not use google spreadsheets for graphs and orderbook review?

gesell: mircea_popescu: okay

gesell: mircea_popescu: yes mail is but using google as a trusted host gate, not sure

gesell: mircea_popescu: are you seriously considering a gmail protocol? this seems nuts. maybe you should consider https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149 first

gesell: mircea_popescu: thanks for the link

gesell: mircea_popescu: the questions are natural for investors. and also natural to want more details...

gesell: mircea_popescu: proxy is fine. just curious the logic. seems that loosing the face of mpex (which the web presense is part of) would make some question
