pizzaman1337: noob question: I've been watching some options books' and I've noticed some have buy/sell orders of 1000, with constantly changing prices. Is someone running a script with those orders, or are they mpex provided or something?
mircea_popescu: it's just there as a possibility so people understand that no matter what happens, mpex will trade.
mircea_popescu: there will be a 2nd bot coming online this weekend, doing roughly the same thing, just for redundancy.

mircea_popescu: you prolly had a dns flicker
mircea_popescu: im preparing a little bomb over here.
mircea_popescu: you want to impose a fee on txs that have small OUTPOUTS
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, if you're trying to apply a penalty to people who tryt to bloat the blockchain
TradeFortress: because a small group of coders decided on it. a customizable fee system would be better
mircea_popescu: but its more of a codingissue
TradeFortress: then be a miner and choose which TXes to accept :)
TradeFortress: It's to apply a penalty to people who try to bloat the blockchain
TradeFortress: so you can't send 1 satoshi. must send a million 1 satoshi inputs and the size of TX will make fees kill
mircea_popescu: but there must be a mechanism to reclaim those
mircea_popescu: basically bitcoin will die a thermic death
TradeFortress: Maybe it's due for a change now.
Namworld: You can check that without a transaction... that's the point
Namworld: If you don't win, don't reply with a 1 satoshi transaction
Ukto: Namworld: join the conversation for a sec pls :P
Namworld: A lookup search box should be palced prominently on SD
Namworld: SD offers a lookup tool to check your lucky numbers anyway. If you lose, you can see it from the tool.
mircea_popescu: Ukto if you think about it the only practical effect it has is it prevents accounting becoming a mess a la asicminer.
Ukto: i mean, seems a bit draconian ?
BitHub: bitcoin isn't a dictatorship?
mircea_popescu: i used tghe ddos to make a lot of upgrades, not everything's ready to come up online
Chaang-Noi: otc there was a lot of movement
mircea_popescu: starting to move a little.
Bowjob: mhm, i hit the free button 104 times, i made my browser slow to a crawl
Bowjob: i hit a 5
Bowjob: shouldnt i win a lot on the free button
Bowjob: i seem to lose a lot
mircea_popescu: "and we bitch like a virgin in hell if anyone explores alternate uses"
Namworld: But if someone still wants to sell a few, I'd take some.
mircea_popescu: maximian there's a lot of hardware being set up. i wanted to get people a lifeline as soon as possible
maximian: anyone who isn't a nervous nelly knows that it was just a temporary issue
mircea_popescu: mpex is closed for a day, when it reopens everyone wants to deposit.
jcpham: consider that an opening a prologue
jcpham: also i'm serious about a screenplay
mircea_popescu: you have a son ?!
jcpham: http://jcph.am/2013/03/08/a-letter-to-my-son/
OneMiner: I don't hold their views against them. The details do matter. Maybe it's the need for sleep but I can sympathize to a degree.
OneMiner: It's ok though. The alt coins proove that there is no absolute authority. Miners each have a choice of what transactions to include, the world keep turning.
mircea_popescu: "a collective" is scarce basis for authority.
OneMiner: mircea_popescu Except in this case we do have the authority. It's a collective as opposed to unilateral action.
OneMiner: We feed on it right? Here we are trying to adopt a new currency, pretty much out of the blue. Right away we are overly invested relative to the rest of the world. We are all a bit nutty.
OneMiner: It will be worked out, I'm sure people will be upset for a while. But when the sun rises the next day things will look brighter.
maximian: unlimited garbage is a problem, and needs to be dealt with
BitHub: i've liked how things have played out so far but are we about to see a real dark turn in the road?
smickles: srsly, that was what I came back to when i went to the forum for the first time in a while
smickles: gaaw, wtf are these people on about, do the really thing some script,ajax heavy site would do better against a sustained ddos than a few <tr> tags?
Namworld: giving a fork balance that can be cashed out... inconvenient tho
Namworld: They could easily take bitcoin deposits and have a fork for the sole purpose of calculating lucky numbers, nay?
deadweasel: i dunno I'm not a dev,
Bowjob: imo we need a compromise. this blockchain bloat is annoying
mircea_popescu: so he took a break
mircea_popescu: maximian he;s a funny guy. he was active in the s.dice thread back in august
maximian: that misterbigg guy is a little slow
Bowjob: guys a huge dump is happening
Rick__: I have been waiting the new bitvps for a month
mircea_popescu: they ARE expensive to do tho, so in a sense a self limiting condition
mircea_popescu: mpex is pretty much the only thing that even has a prayer at it, but otherwise... nope.
maximian: need a higher limit
mircea_popescu: maximian move to a diff one
Namworld: I got a few shares for the heck of it.
BitHub: um bitpride i was looking at those shares but felt a bit shy
deadweasel: until you get bigger then hire a better coder and scrap and redo
BitHub: lul i'm paying a few programmers on here atm, slowly
BitHub: instead of a pilot
BitHub: its been a good day, have you seen all the giveaways on otc?
BitHub: we just had a 5 hour tango convo about this before
maximian: An acquisition would be a great exit for all investors
deadweasel: it's a firesale!
BitHub: a brand>
maximian: I wouldn't be so sure about that. S.dice is more than just a dice game, it's a brand
BitHub: okey, hopefully i can feature a mpex ticker on my site soon, if its okey with you of course
BitHub: is it hard to make a ticker from your api mircea?
Rick__: okay,understand a bit
mircea_popescu: Rick__ it is a method of talking to mpex that can not be ddosed
mpexbot: mircea_popescu: Error: "is" is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: ok so! what you folks see here is a historical moment.
mircea_popescu: hang on for a minute here.
mircea_popescu: a
BingoBongo: Canthaxanthin is a tanning pill
BingoBongo: Even on small transactions it is cheaper than a wire
BingoBongo: mod6 It has been my standard fee for about a month now. I'm not patient enough to send with less.
BingoBongo: Eh, take Canthaxanthin for a few months and walk around New York, some Cop will grab a real good feel.
mircea_popescu: "Maybe some quota-filling cop thinks you look like a whore."
mod6: yeah they're a bunch of Fascists
mircea_popescu: have a large soda in a condom
BingoBongo: mod6 the bet made it in, miracle what a decent transaction fee can do
BingoBongo: WordPress and a watch only wallet powered by ArmoryD is probably how I'd write a bitcoin site if I had to.
mod6: i can still use a butter knife as a screwdriver
