mircea_popescu: people were liek "o, your bitcoind is ddosed too ?" and i was like no dude, the tx is out since noon '/

mircea_popescu: yest i had txs lay stale for > 6 hours before being included in a block.

mircea_popescu: i think more than just mpex, tis a test for bitcoins in general.

mircea_popescu: i cant see it either

mircea_popescu: i mean... this is vegas. you get a chance.

mircea_popescu: BingoBongo i kinda stopped following

mircea_popescu: i'll be bringing more capacity online and that's that.

mircea_popescu: jborkl what i'd do is cause a lot of grief to people otherwise ill equipped to cope.

mircea_popescu: dub i could start with his relays lol

mircea_popescu: from the most recent attack still under way as I write

mircea_popescu: that's kind of the problem, very chinese market out there. "yes sir i tell you we do ddosprotection"

mircea_popescu: dub i was more considering that guy's bitmessage p2p thing

mircea_popescu: jcpham i think someone might have noticed that mpex didn't answer on 23

mircea_popescu: i think there's enough presence to keep the stakeholders appraised.

mircea_popescu: i mean put side is up to 30, from like 22 earlier

mircea_popescu: mjr__ proxies help in the exact sort of way i had it set-up : open web proxy which connects on a sort of private vpn to mpex webservers

mircea_popescu: blacklotus is expensive, and i have yet to locate anyone that can give me the straight dope about what they actually do./

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

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: however, i judged that'd create a haves/havesnot disparity that's both huge and sudden

mircea_popescu: that;s kinda it, i could have come up with a pure vpn solution

mircea_popescu: and honestly i think colored coins are a horrible nonstarter. i can only imagine the sort of crap that'd occur if they caught on

mircea_popescu: o yes, i think he wanted increased block size.

mircea_popescu: BingoBongo i dunno what his problem was.

mircea_popescu: dub i am not interested in being anon.

mircea_popescu: jcpham i bet you in 2013 we will have special mining software allowing miner to issue orders much like ip routing tables

mircea_popescu: dub i can calculate how many asics i need to have in order to guarantee my payments make it witin an arbitrary timeframe

mircea_popescu: think about it : i am going to get a mining cluster which i will run for purely strategic reasons

mircea_popescu: i had it checked out dood. im no miner at all.

mircea_popescu: you do need to tell me that so i can lol.

mircea_popescu: i am arguing that for every wanna-break the world kid / bank clerk who thinks he's a banker / duimbass kid who thinks writing "options" on a webpage makes him an options trader

mircea_popescu: but it's what i think on the matter.

mircea_popescu: i much prefer the former. it's cleaner.

mircea_popescu: i like hard options.

mircea_popescu: if they don't follow i'm going to start my own devteam and fork bitcoin.

mircea_popescu: i am telling the devs what things are

mircea_popescu: dub i am not joinint no bs foundation.

mircea_popescu: i can agree with that much.

mircea_popescu: jborkl i think so

mircea_popescu: jcpham i looked in the colon

mircea_popescu: jborkl i think he's trying to make sense of that position.
