mircea_popescu: Depending on BFL's shipping schedule, the network hashrate could be from ~ 120 Thps to ~ 290Thps, with Difficulty reaching between 15 and 40 million before mid May.

mircea_popescu: anyway if mod6 evergets the iphone app out that'll be funny
mircea_popescu: nobody can get into mpex to the tune of 10 ppl a day or some shit
mircea_popescu: im on the other side of it, trying to hold the doors down lol
mircea_popescu: "the "shares" that MPEx has that it lets you buy and then sell ... how did they get them, and what exactly are these shares?"
mircea_popescu: course the hidden thing in all of this is that if mpex scales worth a shit everyone can just do push transactions.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> smickles, not really. that would be akin to city transportation not giving a fuck about security of chip cards << which they don't.
mircea_popescu: mjr_ yes. it mostly consists of my pr pointing out it doesn't work and people glazingvoer.
mircea_popescu: but there's a BIG lesson in here. think about it : i have technoklogy that allows me to do what they do much cheaper.
mircea_popescu: yeah. this would not be feasible if i tried to do it like it;'s currently done in the fiat finance world.
mircea_popescu: but i don't see many people bothering, no. there's no benefit
mircea_popescu: everyone would only get his own, causwe that's the only one he can decrypt
mircea_popescu: so now. if i want to talk to all the users on mpex, i could just post a long file, made out of bits, each encrypted with a user's signature.
mircea_popescu: what diff does it make ? you don't have the key for it.
mircea_popescu: mjr_ : if i wanted it to take multiple hops, i would be vulnerable to MitM and phishing right? << wrong
mircea_popescu: and as to the brokers, you have to ask them, but most everyone does it.

mircea_popescu: i like how that thing is getting upvoted into a frenzy
mircea_popescu: but yeah, i lay no claim to genius on the "not instacancellable" part. ffs it's beyond obvious.
mircea_popescu: ya well give me an example of a hft getting crossed by retail lol.
mircea_popescu: mjr_ the problem with hfts isn't that they're fast. it's that they retroactively change time.
mircea_popescu: no argument that this is kinda hard, but not so sure it's for a good reason
mircea_popescu: <jurov> but that's tailored to HFT. and MP is quite anti-HFT. << im not anti hft. im anti stupidity, which is mostly phantom orders.
mircea_popescu: see the next article on the blog about something along those lines.
mircea_popescu: now, fiber is slightly bettert as a secure conduit, esp if you have quantum verifiers
mircea_popescu:
https is securing the conduit, ignoring the message. so is dedicated circuit. so is everything done currently pretty much
mircea_popescu: everyone is currently doing the former. i am doing the later
mircea_popescu: either secure the conduit, message agnostic, or secure the message, conduit agnostic.
