mircea_popescu: yeah, sure, i'm not keeping 10k worth of pipe as
a hot and ready to go backup, i admit
jborkl: this was
a really good test for MPEX
deadweasel: it was interesting to watch people show up here, get
a proxy addy, then go trade.
mircea_popescu: that the bot later was w/o
a feed cause mtgox went bananas is
a diff story
jborkl: yeah,
a few months ago Bank of America got ddos for I think 3 days
nanotube: imsaguy: heh well, just have it take
a pastebin link, and pass it along to mpex.
nanotube: mircea_popescu: should be pretty trivial to set up an irc bot that just takes user input and passes it along to your server. if you set it up with
a cloak, attackers can't even know its ip.
mod6: this is
a pretty sweet idea tho imsaguy
Chilca: do you guys have
a firewall on top the servers?
mircea_popescu: you can take
a string and encrypt it with mpex key right now
mod6: yea. i just figure maybe having our asses hanging in the breeze is
a great oppertunity for the NSA to try to extract data on
a sort of chosen cypertext attack
mircea_popescu: but if someone breaks pgp in 2049, what do they get ?
a lot of BUY|S.BLABLA|350|45000 ?
mod6: as well, is it
a good idea to store everyones cyphertexts indefinately?
mod6: this could become
a problem
Chilca: mircea_popescu: are you having
a DDOS attack? what's the problem.
Diablo-D3: I could name
a box "chicks" and name
a user "i"
mircea_popescu: now,
a humongo 10gb dedicated solution is being set up as we speak
mircea_popescu: i could allow anyone to start
a proxy right now, the trade server is fine, etc. the problem is
mircea_popescu: but somebody did have the determination to spend
a day and
a half looking for them, setting up the ddosing for them individually bla bla.
mircea_popescu: granted, it's not easy to blow up
a small shared setup like that.
mircea_popescu: since the attack started yesterday
a total of 100+ of these were taken offline.
mircea_popescu: so at that time i split the tubes up north/east, and started
a bunch of proxies
mircea_popescu: now, the reason admittedly was that the thing was
a little old and kidna loaded. but still.
mircea_popescu: there is five of them sharing two gigabit uplinks through
a balancer.
mircea_popescu: mpex consists of
a trade server and webservers which the users talk to.
mircea_popescu: best i can make out you're
a concern troll with
a checkered past.
Luke-Jr: no, it's
a mod6-is-
a-troll issue
jurov: [18:31] <arij> yea there is
a massive amount of traffic hitting the node
deadweasel:
a bunch of emotionally drained bitcoin crazed monkeys.
kakobrekla: you can send
a sign order via snail mail
mircea_popescu: mpex servers will be offline for
a few hours. we are reconfiguring the router system, putting in new optics
maximian: MP should have received
a demand by now
Anduck: mircea_popescu: did someone buy s.mpoe
a lot?
mircea_popescu: that's kinda the idea. i saidf before
a government couldn't take it down.
Anduck: so your isp dont know how to absorb
a ddos?
mircea_popescu: mpoe hasn't been quoting for like 6 hours because it can't get
a coherent feed
Ukto: I was just taking
a quick break from the big project
Chaang-Noi: however now it is starting to flow
a bit
Chaang-Noi: if you get
a trade done in 30 mins seems you are lucky :/
Chaang-Noi: <neofutur> 02:08 <@MagicalTux> Blitzboom: we're working on some changes that will improve this
a lot
Bugpowdrrr: Protip : when the price is up more than $10 in
a day, sell some.
Bowjob: I feel that I should get
a bit more than 0.3 for winning the bet. sigh
mircea_popescu: i dunno why i went ahead and used them as
a pp for some obscure host
mircea_popescu: which is you kniow... more than the market cap of all but
a few bitcoin businesses.
mircea_popescu: they're spending something like 10k
a month on hardware.
Namworld: MtGox doesn't need to go. Just replace the hardware. It appears they are running on
a Commodore 64 currently.
dub: as in, its
a hard coded failsafe
dub: I dunno if its still there but at one point
a 20k btc trade halted teh engine until mark woke up and confirmed it
Chaang-Noi: yeah... it will stabilize around $1000 in
a few years...
dub: the entire bitcoin economy is
a casino at this point
mod6: (19:12) < dub> I've been waiting
a long time for someone to simply dos gox for
a few weeks << exactly.
pgp: bitfloor and bitstamp do
a decent job of it...
dub: I've been waiting
a long time for someone to simply dos gox for
a few weeks
mod6: and then with MPEx serving up options and futures, we'll have
a nice little btc finance ecosystem
mod6: and good ones that don't fucking break when
a guy wants to sell
a few, or more.
mod6: and yeah +1 on "WE NEED
A MOTHERFUCKING EXCHANGE"
Chaang-Noi: mp how much is
a slave in romania, i feel too rich/lazy to do my work...
assbot: I don't give
a shit who saw what and who did what or who did who.
dub: its been down for like
a year though right?
Chaang-Noi: i sent .1337 should buy him
a beer or two
Bugpowdrrr: I made
a few transfers today, no problem at all
Bugpowdrrr: Wasn't watching. Eat dinner. Was
a good day for me :)
[\\\]: I see we had
a 30% swing in the price today
Bowjob_: its
a good bet to assume he has tons of it
Bowjob_: well he probably has coins since he gave away
a fuckton

a rich guy by now

Bowjob_: that was merely
a bear trap
Bowjob: mammon has
a huge grip on us
Bowjob: it woulda nice to panic sell for
a bit
Chaang-Noi: Sexual slavery brings the slave’s owner $18,000 over the slave’s working life in Thailand (this used to be
a big problem, they used to go around in van and steal kids)
Chaang-Noi: would be odd trying to date
a 3rd grader however...
Bowjob: no, just saying. if i could wake up as
a third grader, i could blend in
Chaang-Noi: in
a stong bull market corrects are sharp and fast bowjob
dub: we have had no word of
a drone strike to date
Chaang-Noi: oh lol, they redirected the attack to the whitehouse? is that
a good idea? :)
