jcpham: how many bitcoins do i need to posses to own
a "few"
tiberiusiv: guy cant even read probably another lowlife with
a few coins
jcpham: i thought it was
a scam
a minute ago
jcpham: oh wait tiberiusiv said it isn't
a scam now
tiberiusiv: bitcoin cant be
a scam as it does not need endles new bidders
jcpham: i think it might be
a scam mircea_popescu
tiberiusiv: voorhees does hold
a huge par tof the float
tiberiusiv: benkay: sdice is shady but hard to tell if its
a scam or not
deadweasel: bitcoins at any price over 8$ are
a scam, go tell #bitcoin-anal about it
benkay: what about s.dice? is that
a scam as well?
tiberiusiv: mircea popescu is
a fraud and you will lose
Framedragger: "But outside these run-down flats, the streets are full of expensive, fast cars that are
a marked contrast to their surroundings. [same in many countries, saw that in sarajevo, etc] The hackers like to show off their wealth and power with these high-powered vehicles, which they race through the streets at night. [this does not follow from the prev sentence"
Framedragger: i can also buy
a cop in my hometown, though not sure of price :P
tiberiusiv: romania is the fraud capital of the world for
a reason
benkay: so, what would be
a good metric for evaluating this claim?
benkay: it's just
a bunch of opionions flying back and forth on irc
tiberiusiv: mircea the fraud/scammer had to put
a 12.5% rate in order to get more greedy idiots to give him bitcoins
benkay: that's
a pretty steep rate
tiberiusiv: if you had
a clue you wouldnt be so broke
tiberiusiv: mircea is an egomaniac fraudster that wont admit MPOE has been
a huge failure
tiberiusiv: mircea is running
a textbook boiler room
tiberiusiv: everytime he sells
a piece of the float its free money to him
thestringpuller: ;;later tell tiberiusiv You are
a poop who has no rational statements to use because you'd rather be accusatory rather than contribute anything of value to society, like
a greedy American addicted to the allure of wealth.
thestringpuller: ;;later tell tiberiusiv I have 75 btc now liquid. Soon I will have
a few hundred as things grow.
tiberiusiv: ;;tell mircea_popescu you are
a fraud and
a scammer
☟︎ KRS-1: This is
a pretty good song
KRS-1: its been pretty quiet til today,
a bit more movement..maybe madness was overdoing it
a bit
Framedragger: if you're going to run bitcoind on
a $30 Kimsufi rented server with root password reset capabilities in your 'customer control panel', you're gonna have
a hard time
Framedragger: benkay: sure, unless you / or your hire really know(s) what you/they're doing. running bitcoind under multiple layers of virtualization/isolation (e.g. bsd jails + virtualbox + chroot) is
a start
mircea_popescu: We have been in contact with these clients but the quality of our exchanges did not allow us to get enough information that would help reveal an vulnerability on our side. Our developpers have in
a completely independant way found the issue mentionned above, and only then have we realised that there was
a link between our flaw and these 3 customers. We certainly have something to learn here about the best way to ensure
jcpham: run
a bitcoin based business on some rented platform -> get hacked
imsaguy: because the bitcoin community typically has the maturity of
a 12 y/o
jcpham: TL;DR: Here's what happened. When
a password reset is submitted, the user receives
a random URL by email containing
a random 21 letter string. The algorithm used was bad, so the random string could be brut-forced.
jcpham: and brute forcing
a password function
Framedragger: i only recall one (really) major security breach, pwd / pwd hashes stolen etc. it was
a long time ago, probably in its LAMP infancy days
Framedragger: yeah, i'm quite sure that at least it used to be apache + mysql + php, probably with default configs on
a default ubuntu or sth. :)
Framedragger: but yeah, the agorist sentiments are at
a relatively naive level if i may say so. but hey.. :)
benkay: death is
a downside cost of war? i thought it was
a cheap way to get rid of excessively violent youths...
Framedragger: the internals seemed like
a default LAMP stack to me. but afaik this has changed. well if they're
a kid, they are surely learning to scale their infrastructure/business etc. :)
Framedragger: well, SR used to run
a mysqld with debugging mode enabled, so each time there was
a DB error (and there were quite
a few), users would get
a specimen of the system's internals.
jcpham: i'm not going to be surprised to find out SR is run by
a kid
jcpham: there's
a lot. he reads half adult/half child
ThickAsThieves: no worries, i know i can be
a little loose with my words
jcpham: that's
a lot of usagis

A market order to sell 30000 bitcoins right now would net 3865234.4410 USD and would take the last price down to 121.1000 USD, resulting in an average price of 128.8411 USD/BTC. | Data vintage: 44.3863 seconds

mircea_popescu: well, if you withdraw from
a margined account it goes to cover margin first.
ThickAsThieves: if they can deal in 5000btc of puts, odds are they are
a pretty big deal
ThickAsThieves: maybe that depends on how large of
a manipulator the actor really is
ThickAsThieves: okay, suppose the actor actually represents
a great majority of the highest 5000btc of the bid book on Gox. Couldn't he sell those puts, dump 5000btc into mostly his own bids, driving price lower so he can now buy more btc at the new lower price? As long as he doesnt sell so low that he triggers the bot to excercise, he would be leveraging the btc to get more btc
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i would imagine his thinking is that price is going up, so sold the puts, and in the case it goes
a little under has the calls to pay him
gribble: MtGox lag is 56.21932 seconds. During this time, light travels 0.112662887817 AU. You could have sent
a bitcoin ten times between Jupiter and Callisto (0.12567 AU).
mircea_popescu: i suppose technically it's
a bet that the bot closes correctly.
mircea_popescu: whiplash can be
a serious problem for this position, so i guess it implicitly is
a bet against whiplash
mircea_popescu: so basically if price stays over 143 makes money on the puts, if goes
a little under makes money on the calls to somewhat compensate.
gribble: Error: "netstat" is not
a valid command.
ThickAsThieves: How does the bot handle options it buys? Does it ever excercise, or try to resell? If it excercises, does it wait for
a certain % of profit?
mircea_popescu: jborkl it's not nice! stop trolling da reddit folk! you're
a jerk!
mircea_popescu: it would be
a website that's
a bank and has
a nice interface. whatcouldpossibly.pdf
