assbot: Massive DDoS attack against anti-
spam provider impacts millions of internet users | Naked Security ... (
http://bit.ly/1Ib3UtB )
nubbins`: sending
spam/dust to a casascius coin's address is like spraying indelible graffiti on it
decimation:
spam -> gmail; ddos -> cloudflare,aws ec2
decimation: to me the solution to
spam is "pay me to read your email in bitcoin"
mircea_popescu: i don't use gmail and don't have a
spam problem. but hey.
mircea_popescu: but the very basic "all plaintext email is
spam, throw it out" rule would do that.
decimation: isn't that exactly what 'ddos protection' and '
spam protect' do?
decimation: it's not unlike the ddos/
spam problem mentioned earlier - each entity sees the street and sewer vaults as a zone to stuff shit for 'free'
decimation: for instance,
spam drives everyone to big isp mail hosts, gmail, etc - not only for
spam protection but also for 'web of trust'
decimation: I thought the whole point of
spam was to force you onto gmail
ben_vulpes: decimation: they are now refusing to mark
spam for me.
thestringpuller: I found that during the "
spam attack" my node was using almost 90% of it's upstream bandwidth relaying transactions.
danielpbarron: gets bogged down trying to recieve and relay so many
spam transactions
danielpbarron: what with this nonStandard tx
spam probably being the new norm
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 01:37:47; asciilifeform: gotta admit, usg switching to funding tx
spam with stolen coin, rather than giving it at mega-discount to mircea_popescu et al, was a less-retarded-than-usual move
ascii_field: we cremate orphan tx. and the 'tx
spam' is sent in rapid succession, and depends on previous instances of same, and hence spends much of its life cycle as 'orphan tx'
trinque: the box was getting ass-blasted with
spam trinque: for no better reason than I've required it on my end and it cut
spam by 100x
decimation: at any rate it is clear someone revved up
spam machine
ascii_field: this entire line of thought is not entirely disconnected from the 'transaction
spam' thread
mike_c: Sorry for part
spam.. different client/computer than usual.
punkman: the "
spam" is now up to 0.00034513 fee
shinohai: but not trilema, and nothing in
spam folder so i dunno :/
mats: 'i dun wanna hold gigs of "
spam" on my drive, and nobody else does either'
ascii_field: though gotta wonder if this is still fair to say re: a gigantic sack of shit with the words 'this is
spam, and fuck you' printed right on it
trinque: IF IT HAS A FEE ATTACHED AND IS A VALID TXN, IT'S NOT
SPAM trinque: same idiot argument re:
spam as Luke-Jr
decimation: if usg can
spam uv over a large area for hours, then you probably have bigger problems than money
BingoBoingo: stress test demonstrates 1MB is plenty big to allow for periodic
spam attacks, and bigger blocks would make bloat attacks still cheaper
trinque: if someone really wants to "
spam" let him pay the fees sufficient to do so, and he can keep that up for as many blocks as he likes, bidding against every other person who wants in the block
danielpbarron: the outputs must be old enough to not set off
spam filters or whatever
trinque: for some odd reason
spam botnets don't seem to bother at all with tls being required
trinque: jurov: could the btc-dev mailing list send mail via tls? requiring that on my mailserver's end has drastically cut down on
spam, but I think that's causing me to miss mailing list messages
BingoBoingo: <funkenstein_> like, ddosed << No, "Stress Tested" which means showing how great present anti-
spam limit is because spammers
BingoBoingo: Indeed, all they wanted was to
spam boner pills and invent people for FakeBook profiles
thestringpuller: i know but how would mempool be effectively capped so nodes don't purge "important" tx's if people
spam network
punkman: did the qntra
spam affect the other domains too?
cazalla: isn't this just a case of someone (likely guy who ddos joiners here) sending out
spam from another server but spoofing return address so qntra email gets hammered with delivery fail
spam?
mircea_popescu: how did someone end up sending
spam off qntra server is what i mean
SuchWow: again, it was just the
spam that made me come back and say hi :)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: usg-themed
spam is sop for years now
BingoBoingo: Fuck, I really am torn on whether ot not to approve
spam comment for "mosin nagant 10 round magazine"
Adlai: and i don't even have to
spam my qntra pushes across the entire userbase
copypaste: it doesn't need to be secure if i just want to
spam copypaste: due to this plugin. just a matter of it getting big enough for a spammer to find it fun to
spam.
assbot: Logged on 22-05-2015 15:29:17; asciilifeform: l0l! that thing actually existed as something other than
spam ads ?!
cazalla: yup, so if you don't want to have
spam sent to your inbox or want an address that is shared, it's useful for that
mircea_popescu: williamdunne afaik they restricted new accounts because nobody was giving a shit and there was too much
spam Adlai: she can't
spam faster than the speed of flood
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: it is precisely like the
spam cargo cult
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: Nah, then you just end up bloating the chain with welfare
spam mircea_popescu: Subject: Please, this is not a
SPAM. We need your indispensable input on an important digital currency study
decimation: and then route packets through aws just for
spam protection
ascii_panama: re: the
spam thread: mircea_popescu laughs, but market consisting solely of 'mazerati' does not make sense
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Only filed because necessary to certify with USG 0 payments on stafford loan repayment plan. Can only tolerate so much phone
spam mircea_popescu: basically, this is not different from shanonizer (seen commonly in
spam)
