pgp: i
think
that
they've improved lag by an order of magnitude it seems
to me...
that was a lot of coin
that just went off
taub: all
those huge sell orders,
thenn
the cute 1btc buy inbetween lol
MJR_: if you redraw
the six month chart...and connect
this point
to
the prior 6 months, it looks like a nice steady growth
pgp: definately going below 50
today, i
think...
taub: i got buy orders along
the way
pgp: tulips, baby,
tulips...
KRS1: its going down
to $32? damn
KRS1: greed fuels a purchase at $200+ for a financial instrument
that rose so quickly
taub: i know, i still feel bad for
them :)
Cylta1: taub:
they simple were
too greedy.
Cylta1: taub: it was
their fault, not your
pgp: get back into
the bunker, boys...
pgp: wall at 76 is going
to disappear fast imho
MJR_: well, cnbc reported $65...it was at 80 at
the
time
pgp: crazy action last night,
though...
pgp: well, i get
the feeling
that volume will start
to pick up as it continues
to drift lower here...
MJR_: pgp: did you
test
the data? i emailed you
the link, wanna see if it'll work right out of
the box on your machine
gesell: but
tehn again, probably not as much volume or
gesell: lag has been in
the 0
to 8 second range for
the past 20 min or so
gesell: why would
they do
that. maybe
they have way more in fiat
gesell: i really wonder if
the bid whales really chose
to wait it out while holding so much btc at risk
pigeons: has anybody actually seen
tiberiusiv and EskimoBob
together at
the same
time?
gesell: there are still 0 whales on
the bids book and plenty on
the asks
gesell: bifloor, please keep in mind
that most of
the community
today is filled with speculators
that dont give a fuck, and also
there are plenty of entities
that actually want bitcoin
to fail. Get your security house in order!
MJR_: my friend and coworker just designed his optimized version of
that, which outperforms it...i
think he gets 350k messages per second...
MJR_: they should look at 0MQ or something like
that
MJR_: yeah i saw
the pizza photo
MJR_: i've really been curious about
the ACTUAL volume
they do # of
transactions
MJR_: i really wonder what
their office was like
today
MJR_: i'm also surprised
that more people don't just use amazon cloud
jurov: no help
there, i guess
mircea_popescu: jurov yea isn't
that interesting ? only forum in
the world
that had 1mn usd at any point
jurov: it's just
they found
themselves in dark place and feel
too paralyzed about everything
jurov: heck, even
theymos can't be brought
to spend
to improve
the forum
MJR_: not
that its bad
to bring up more servers...but if you have a stupid unscalable system in place, it really doesn't matter how much more hardware you have
MJR_: any of
those systems would be better
than bringing up another server
MJR_: that would work
too
troc: limit it
to n orders per x ?
MJR_: i was
talking about gox
jurov: no. i just did it so
that one user can't place
two orders at once. has
to wait for
the first one
to return from mpex
MJR_: any one of
those would prob reduce
their stress by 90%
MJR_: you could implement a system in a
ton of different ways
jurov: than
to fix afterwards with fees
jurov: it's better
to have built-in protection in system
MJR_: if you spam orders like
that
MJR_: and IRL
they will disable your account
MJR_: its called
toxic order flow
MJR_: anyway,
to
treat an order for .05 btc
the same as one for 100 btc is retarded
jurov: i know
this fear firsthand now
Cylta1: they should do a stable fee of 0.001 btc per order in addition
to 0.6%..
jurov: mjr_ did not plan for it and afraid
to break it...
MJR_: i
think it would be way less radical
to just change min order size
than
to shut down for 12 hours
MJR_: and
they just have a
ton of orders for .05 btc
MJR_: i am streaming
their data
MJR_: and its because i see all
the bullshit orders coming in and out

to its
third largest moon, Io (0.002819 AU).
MJR_: and still not fix
the problem
MJR_: but for some reason,
they would rather halt
trading for 12 hours
to set up new servers
MJR_: ugh...when will people learn
that stupid systems can't be saved by more hardware
Cylta1: Some people (actually, a lot) expected
that "bitcoin is about
to explode!11"

Cylta: and did you able
to predict it or not
Cylta: mircea_popescu: I just wanted
to know, did you able
to make it profitable for you, or not =)
mircea_popescu: nobody really has a clue what bitcoin code does, and
the devs are resisting
tooth and nail any attermpt
to specify it
mircea_popescu: it is impossible
to do, because
these are emergent phenomena.
pizzaman1337: isn't it easy
to monitor for blockchain forks?
mircea_popescu: remember
the recent hard fork ? i wouldn't
trust
the current codebase.
mircea_popescu: or in other words : ux is for USERS only.
there's no suchj
thing as vx, visitor experience.
pizzaman1337: how about instant deposits?
That would be nice
mircea_popescu: Scrat you have lost your argument here. so, ux matters. here's
the ux :
Scrat: by making it more readable? i mean unformatted
tables, come on
mircea_popescu: so somebody gave away 13k worth of btc on reddit and
therefore crash.
this is
the public statement ?
Scrat: mircea_popescu: I
think it's
time for you
to invest in CSS

they called it by now.
