a different label
dub: you're going to have
a hard time selling these guys oversight
gribble: Error: "goxlag-but-make-it-intersting-please" is not
a valid command.
gesell: i dont know, im not
a fan of kill switches so i'd like to see bitcoin-dev's learn from this so that similar bugs in the future can be handled without shutting anything down
dub: whats
a time like this for traditional markets?
gesell: kakobrekla: first, im sorry this is all happening. im sure it is ruining some peoples day. but why do you see it as
a mtgox problem?
mircea_popescu: wiggzz that issue is taken care of by
a little insurance premium on oputs issuance
wiggzz: say you write
a put at 21, with USDBTC at 40, required collateral is 0.525 BTC?
gesell: Bowjob: im not paniking. just aknowledging that the market is filled with
a significant number of people investing more short term that will panik
Bowjob: Everyone quit panicking, its just
a few blocks. Tomorrow, we shall see $50
gesell: ive watched it happen.
a lul for
a few hours then around 10am de time (8 9 whatever UK)
a lot of activity
gesell: the thing with the bitcoin market is the reaction extends over
a long period. so what you see happening now will continue in
a similar manner with the EU wakes up
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi i would guess it will be solved within
a couple of hourd.
gesell: im
a bit worried selling on bitcoin.de though because if the buyer doesnt care to loose
a bit of reputation they could just backout
gesell: something that really disturbs me right now is the number of way overpriced buy bids still sitting on bitcoin.de (
a p2p exchange with pretty high volume)
wiggzz: but, on
a put required capital is not as great as they can fall
Chaang-Noi: after 6 trasactions could be
a sell off yes... but people seeing it is fixed will be like, cheap coinz!!!!!!!

a selloff
Bowjob: actually, I could sell
a few coins and buy back cheaper
gribble: Error: "ticer" is not
a valid command.
gesell: i shouldnt give any advice. i dont know jack. but i will hedge
a little when it bottoms out anyway, for myself
smickles: mircea_popescu: i also have those p310t's i bought
a while back
gesell: by all intents and purposes this is most definitely
a crash
smickles: ThickAsThieves: if
a significat amount of investors view their assets in terms of usd, then mebbe
ThickAsThieves: so in
a situation like this, where the usd/btc may fall on confidence, am i safer being mostly invested in assets?
smickles: i see that as
a goos ~8 btc spent
dub: No cause we're too cool for testnet and elbow grease, gotta spend 16 hours
a day on -dev talking about what we think of Satoshi Dice and how many whales fatass Gmaxwell could swallow whole.
dub: gesell: alternatively 'bitcoin is
a joke'
dub: its just
a correction
assbot: You cannot stop the clouds by the building of
a ship.
smickles:
a direct transfer from me to them would be
a lot faster
gesell: the-bucket-shop: the long term is great. but the bible says to be
a good steward with your money so im just wondering if im being
a total idiot just holding at this point
gesell: so its
a selfish question now but ive always invested long term. and now im wondering if its time to pull and wait
dub: I think $10 might be
a bit bullish
gesell: im trying to guage if there will be
a queu of sells waiting to flood through exchanges once things get back to speed
mircea_popescu: vampireb it's hopefully the end of
a certain misplace attitude.
vampireb: the result: bitcoin foundation would be promoted as
a saviour
the-bucket-shop: never let
a tragedy go to waste fellas. Plaster Satoshi Dice's name all over the news and posts if you can.
benkay: i'd take
a bearish position on ltc, settled next month...

a qa. good for him.
gribble: Error: "proxies" is not
a valid command.
dub: but today would be
a good candidate
smickles: well, if anyone want's to short s.mpoe, i have
a fair amout of shares available
vampireb: well not
a bitcoin issue, the old db was
a problem
mircea_popescu: there's
a lot of intrinsic strength in the open and independent dev model.
evoorhees: Bowjob don't be
a fool. If you actually saw the devs react to this and remedy it, you'd be very impressed
mod6: i've got
a chain that was last updated dec 29th...
BitHub: mircea do you think the bitcoin foundation will pay out
a compensation? lul
BitHub: bitcoin been failing
a bit lately
Bowjob: This is
a huge blow to bitcoin. WTF I thought its supposed to be secure
Chaang-Noi: is there
a link with more info on the forum or something?
Chaang-Noi: i have not made
a btc payment for about 12 hours, will this make me saffer even if i use the new client?
pigeons: yeah ltc could never get this bug because that many transactions in litecoin would never propogate quickly enough to get included in
a block
Chaang-Noi: glad i has 150,000 as
a back up crypto currancy
pigeons: everyone go take
a walk and get some food and come bac in
a few hours
dub: and I'm now ready to buy
a different house
dub: fucking assholes now want to talk about my offer after
a week of bullshit
pigeons: because the bug in BDB wasn't encountered before because the number of transactions in
a block that trigger it wasnt valid before
jcpham: its
a big venue for him
mircea_popescu: jesus passing the buck is like
a tradition in bitcoin-devtalk
dub: mircea_popescu: its
a previously unheard of issue with BDB, the block size triggered it
jcpham: anyone want to help me with
a e-poll
mircea_popescu: as in, "it's
a blocksize issue we've introduced with 0.8"
dub: no its
a block size issue affecting BDB in 0.7
dub: now would be
a great time to dos guild
mircea_popescu: would it be possible for the bot to keep
a count of the chat lines during past 5 minutes and send that response by pm if value > 50 ?
mircea_popescu: reading
a digest of the bitcoin-dev chan, i am struck by how incredibly pompous these people are.
mircea_popescu: the net result is
a positive feedback loop of great danger
gesell: up to
a certain limit, perhaps set based on numbers of averages on other exchnages
gesell: its
a shame geocities is down. mpex hosted via geocities would just be perfect
gribble: Error: "slab" is not
a valid command.

a group to make it happenj
