pgp: unless, of course, you prefer
a single threaded, single server solution for your exchange...
mircea_popescu: Apr 11 12:27:16 <mircea_popescu> this promises to be
a bumpy weekend.
Bugpowder: Was the bot going offline
a response to the purchase coming across the ticker here? Or was it just
a coincidence?
ThickAsThieves: i still dont see how that matters if you got
a receipt
Bugpowder: So be aware,
a receipt is not always reliable.
Bugpowder: have reciepts for the options on my inventory for the last hour and
a half
Bugpowder: <mircea_popescu> your buy and the bot's cancelling hit in the same second. the bot was
a few miliseconds earlier. the trade engine correctly identified the trade as going to book. the server you were talking to however did not. [14:09] <mircea_popescu> it's ungodly that it has needed almost two hours to come to sense, there's been
a host of syncing issues under today;s load.
lippoper: first thing I'll do when it resumes is sell at $100 and put in
a buy order for $25.00
lippoper: only time before the asks outweight the bids and the price drops like
a stone.
Scrat: like I don't know.
a coffin?
Scrat: Bowjob_: hopefully it is moving to
a darker place
Scrat: ;;echo I'm not
a bot
bit_nutz: apologies for the rudimentary question: Is gribble
a bot or something?
ThickAsThieves: you have to click cancel on ONE order and just leave the window alone for
a few mins
gribble: MtGox lag is 9.530755 seconds. During this time, light travels 0.0190995263083 AU. You could have sent
a bitcoin one full loop along the orbit of the Moon around Earth (0.016 AU).
jborkl_: I just sent
a small amount of btc to gox, see what happens
splnkr: but again you have to "add
a withdraw method" with the bank in advance
splnkr: now to withdraw, first you have to "add
a withdraw method" and then wait
a while (like overnight) for it to become an option
guruvan: kakobrekla: gone from IRC - not from bitcoin.....my house has crappy satellite internet, so IRC has been out of the question for
a few months
kakobrekla: guruvan you been gone for
a long time eh
guruvan: but we damn sure won't let clients sell into
a bottom feeding frenzy
guruvan: I let
a client buy into the rally.......I really shoulda hedged her purchase....live & learn
Doffx: Guess we have all been through it
a few times
Namworld: Seriously... why do people who never touched/looked at BTC suddenly flock into it AFTER it raised
a few hundred percents in value over
a few weeks?
Doffx: This happens
a lot in BTC
Lyspooner: is there
a channel where mention of exchange rates to other currencies gets one banned
bVector: haha got
a reporter talking to me about icbit
mircea_popescu: afaik everyone running pts already has accounts on mpex anyway so wouldn't be
a big deal.
mircea_popescu: Uglux passthrough no. if they sign
a contract they can be listed like anyone else.
Rlx: I have
a question about bitbet
Uglux: mircea_popescu, will you tolerate
a AM PT?
jborkl_: We have
a announcment- we are pricing avalon in $ now
pgp: you know, I've alway been suspicious of withdrawl limits - any chance that gox might be having
a liquidity crisis or sorts?
ThickAsThieves: gox just has to last long enough to get my cash out 1k at
a time
jborkl_: I wonder if it will stil be 100 bitcoins for
a avalon, lol
pgp: we have
a few months of fast money noobs to reset...
pgp: you know - I wouldn't be surprised to see it go down to 25-30 and maybe stay there for
a little while. Bubble have
a funny way of popping...
jborkl_: I have some cash on Gox, I am going to put
a big at 15 when it opens
lippoper: What the hell is this?
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1c2u1x/operation_foolscoin/ OPERATION APRIL FOOLSCOIN Targets: MtGox, BTCE, Bitcoin24, Bitstamp Mission statement: The recent sell-off was only partially successful for several reasons: Fresh blood looking to buy Overly bullish market Only one exchange targeted April 1st occurs at the end of
a bank holiday, fiat will be running low on the exchanges and it is the perfect time
ThickAsThieves: they had some sensitive anti-ddos settings that were locking out their own customers for
a while
mircea_popescu: "@BryanMicon 9m If anyone wants to sell bitcoins I have
a bunch of ppl calling me that want to buy"
pigeons: i bought some more
a few weeks ago and sold them all as well
pigeons: i bought shares in mpoe and was able to sell for
a lot more than i bought them for at ipo
bVector: mircea_popescu: this asshat at icbit is
a market manipulator just like you said
Lyspooner: there were several people who called it
a bubble at 70, say. Are those people wrong? Why should we only remember the people who got it right, like tiberiusiv?
ThickAsThieves: i think
a lot of us just didnt realize it would happen on that exact day
Lyspooner: i'm having
a very difficult time buying more coins at 250
splnkr: i like this on the Mt Gox FB page 7 hours ago "Maintenance Over however we are now under
a DDoS attack."
Doffx: gl finding
a good price haha
bgupta: ok the govt doesn't have to kill it kill it.. just needs to prevent it from becoming
a threat
pandnh4: ok, can you recommend
a reasonable price?
pandnh4: hi, does anyone have
a good reading on current btc price as mtgox is not trading?
Doffx: I was more trying to point out alternatives to just forking the chain with
a 51% attack.
TomServo: ThickAsThieves: there are
a number of ways to avoid that
joecool: ThickAsThieves: you should send them
a warning back about tampering with
http connections
benkay: feeling stupid about making
a bad choice won't kill btc.
bgupta: Doffx: Make people feel stupid for making
a bad choice, that burn is enough to kill BTC.
bgupta: listen it will be
a lot easier to get 100mn budget than to pass
a law outtlawing bitcoin.. The problem with outlawing bitcoin, is that it gives bitcoin some credability and noteriety, and wouldn't kill it..
Doffx: Make people feel stupid for making
a bad choice, that burn is enough to kill BTC.
Doffx: I think there is
a long battle ahead, I dont know who the victor will be but the fight is just beggining.
Doffx: I would think they could do very quickly, I think they would rather just use it as
a tool to outlaw crytpo coins period though
bgupta: So how much fiat would it take for
a professional organization (think corp/gov) to develop an inexpensive mining ASIC, mass produce it, and run enough to get 51%? (Guessing the biggest issue would be time.) And what real defense does our network have against such an attack?
mjr_: not even
a hack this time...
ThickAsThieves: at least we know there's
a good chance he'll die painfully from
a hear attack
mjr_: that was announced
a while ago, right?
splnkr: in other news, MtGox USD Coupon codes are no longer
a thing
error4733: MtGox is like
a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get
Scrat: there was
a gox trade just now
mircea_popescu: splnkr yea, for some values of
a lot that are nothing at all.
bgupta: Might even be able to get
a 1U server with 128GB
splnkr:
a lot has changed since "July 2011"
bgupta: the said they were upgrading to
a 128GB RAM machine.. that's
a 2U server
TomServo: bgupta: dude, it's probably like
a whole 4U server too
bgupta: down to "cool the market" funny they didn't do that on the way up. :) Also they claim they will be upgrading to
a larger server. (
A larger server!! Wow!! Perhaps we can get them
a mainframe, because distributed computing hasn't been invented yet.)
