mircea_popescu: "o wait, you mean ddos as in, 6-7 gb sustained with 20gb peaks ?! OMG TAKE A HIKE"
mircea_popescu: that's kind of the problem, very chinese market out there. "yes sir i tell you we do ddosprotection"
mircea_popescu: dub i was more considering that guy's bitmessage p2p thing
mircea_popescu: jcpham i think someone might have noticed that mpex didn't answer on 23
mircea_popescu: i think there's enough presence to keep the stakeholders appraised.
mircea_popescu: but it counts from way up, so it makes the put side kinda high too
mircea_popescu: b. a lot of longass short puts were closed, which does count
mircea_popescu: a. a lot of calls closed up past 24 hours. those don't count.
mircea_popescu: mjr__ understand, the box was doing something like 0.07 load all through the ddos.
mircea_popescu: {"avg": "4713745617","min": "3024713516","max": "4853472885","vsh": "no","vsa": "2.62504497419E+12","cnt": ""}
mircea_popescu: but the thing is, they actually took the time to blow up all these.
mircea_popescu: mjr__ proxies help in the exact sort of way i had it set-up : open web proxy which connects on a sort of private vpn to mpex webservers
mircea_popescu: blacklotus is expensive, and i have yet to locate anyone that can give me the straight dope about what they actually do./
mircea_popescu: cloudflare is very cheap (like200 a month) but it's mostly intended for random kid dickery.
mircea_popescu: cdn doesn't do this. there are ddos protection services out there, but all have their own issues
mircea_popescu: it would solve nothing at all. routers are getting friend, not boxes.
mircea_popescu: and also, much larger infrastructure should be coming online during the 8th.
mircea_popescu: also, we are currently working on using irc bot much like gribble works. there should be one up soon and another during weekend.
mircea_popescu: as a relative rock bottom, if things can't be otherwise resolved within a couple of days i will have a vpn installed. this has the disadvantage that it puts the brokers in an iffy spot
mircea_popescu: but to expand on the plan : as an absolute rock bottom if things can't be otherwise resolved within a week, i will publish a gmail address, and trade will work via email (you email your paste instead of putting into site, you get it back)
mircea_popescu: better and fairer just freeze things for a little bit.
mircea_popescu: however, i judged that'd create a haves/havesnot disparity that's both huge and sudden
mircea_popescu: and only allow trusted people on the network to talk to the exchange
mircea_popescu: that;s kinda it, i could have come up with a pure vpn solution
mircea_popescu: mjr__ trade is practgically frozen so nothing much would have changed.
mircea_popescu: and honestly i think colored coins are a horrible nonstarter. i can only imagine the sort of crap that'd occur if they caught on
mircea_popescu: mjr__ right now you can't. what are you trying to do ?
mircea_popescu: it will be a LOT easier to handle those issues with fixed addies
mircea_popescu: suddenly yet another reason for 1Fx3N5iFPDQxUKhhmDJqCMmi3U8Y7gSncx emerges.
mircea_popescu: soon enough there will be a market for mempool gatway rules.
mircea_popescu: the girl hinted as much at some point arguing with the hearn&co idiot parade.
mircea_popescu: dub if bitcoin fucks up you bet your sweet life an altchain each.
mircea_popescu: there will be a dedicated box preparing the mempool for mine rigs in most farms
mircea_popescu: jcpham i bet you in 2013 we will have special mining software allowing miner to issue orders much like ip routing tables
mircea_popescu: dub i can calculate how many asics i need to have in order to guarantee my payments make it witin an arbitrary timeframe
mircea_popescu: so will pretty much every single service built on top of bitcoin
mircea_popescu: mpex needs assurance that idiots like luke-jr stay irrelevant.
mircea_popescu: think about it : i am going to get a mining cluster which i will run for purely strategic reasons
mircea_popescu: there is demand. come out with an inventory of asics you will sell 10-100k units in a month if you can actuyally deliver them.
mircea_popescu: when that hungarian scammer showed up it he was checked out the next day
mircea_popescu: and if you think people won't be buying asics at 1k a pop, let me tell you something :
mircea_popescu: dub no because the cost to be the top dog will have went from own 500 items worth 200 each
mircea_popescu: i am arguing that for every wanna-break the world kid / bank clerk who thinks he's a banker / duimbass kid who thinks writing "options" on a webpage makes him an options trader
