MJR_: ThickAsThieves: lol...its crazy when you hang out with people who understand computers and then get confronted with "can we just make all of them blue" (select all)
MJR_: my coworker gets me green tea from taiwan

ThickAsThieves: "sorry sir, that's too many bitcoins, you'd break the system"
ThickAsThieves: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166397.0 I wonder what they say to these guys inquiring about investing millions in bitcoins

jurov: don't tell me mtgox can do this
jurov: and there was certainly 1000 orders arriving/cancelled during that time
ThickAsThieves: ninjas, the missing ingredient
jurov: there was no noticeable lag at all, coinbr users ninja-inserted orders in the middle of it
jurov: sturles, highest mpex trade spike i have recorded in live.coinbr records is 100 trades/5 seconds on BitBet IPO

TradeFortress: was the ATH less than 24 hrs ago?
gribble: BTCUSD ticker | Best bid: 135.90500, Best ask: 136.00000, Bid-ask spread: 0.09500, Last trade: 136.00000, 24 hour volume: 115725.71210364, 24 hour low: 110.00000, 24 hour high: 142.00000, 24 hour vwap: 127.07562
mircea_popescu: because they dunno what they're doing
ThickAsThieves: why is the ATH being reported as 142
sturles: Just join the channel to see for yourself.
sturles: I'm not going to paste everything here. Will get dropped for flooding.
sturles: No, I told you, there were otehr (aggregated) trades reported in the same minute, before and after.
mircea_popescu: and so it's prbably the bot aggregated 149 trades over 5 minutes or something
mircea_popescu: because the aggregated set would logically be from between the previous and the next report
sturles: But because #bitcoin-market reports trades from most exchanges, there are several unimpoprtant lines in between.
sturles: Why should I quote more? There are more than 100 right there. And I tild you there were trades before and after during the same minute.
mircea_popescu: i am trying to help you structure your own argument.
sturles: Join the channel youself if you care so much.
mircea_popescu: sturles a little more than just the one line if you don't mind
mircea_popescu: well the 0 lag was nice while it lasted.
sturles: Several other trades during the same minute.
gribble: MtGox lag is 37.58024 seconds. During this time, light travels 0.0753103801907 AU. You could have sent a bitcoin ten times between Saturn and Titan (0.0802 AU).
mircea_popescu: either you don't at all understand the topic or are trolling me.
mircea_popescu: this is like saying querying 5000 records is not the same thing as querying 5000 records.
sturles: 16 order books to check instad of one. Why would that make 0 difference?
mircea_popescu: so find me a space where that bot reports > 100 trades a minute.
sturles: 11 trades making up a total 28.8811 BTC at the average price of 133.42578222 USD.
sturles: Also note that many sites reporting MtGox trades aggregates many small trades into one report. Like this example from #bitcoin-market:
mircea_popescu: i still don't grasp why you imagine this'd make a difference.
sturles: A mix trade is where an order in one currency was matched with an order in another currency.
sturles: The other currency order books are also stuffed with lots and lots of 0.01235 orders. Which makes many trades for just one coin.
mircea_popescu: sturles i dunno what mix trades means there.
ChaangNoi: lol worked until i wanted to take out money, broke again
sturles: mircea_popescu: Yes, many trades are mix-trades between e.g. EUR and USD. And most other currency trades are low in volume.
mircea_popescu: sturles most of their volume is usd.
mircea_popescu: now the part where mtgox comes out with self congratulatory bit remains.
mircea_popescu: so let's see : the part where i say "attacker has found his weak spot, moves on" is pretty accurate.
ChaangNoi: yeah, i was just trying ot take out money lol
sturles: mircea_popescu: Doesn't look like it. Seems to be USD only. Much of the trading on MtGox is in other currencies.
ChaangNoi: its one of the exchanges
mircea_popescu: ChaangNoi http://btct.co/ doesn't load here. do i have the wrong url ?
ChaangNoi: yeah it looks like no one can make trades
mircea_popescu: is that a full list of the last trades ?
sturles: SIX doesn't provide API access to the entire internet. Can't compare it.
ChaangNoi: btct.co is fail for me, they being ddosed?
gribble: MtGox lag is 0 seconds. During this time, light travels 0.0 AU. You could have sent a bitcoin ... nowhere, really (0 AU).
sturles: MJR_: MtGox reports lag in microseconds as well. I have been logging every minute for a while, and the most common value is 0. On a normal day with just a few standard DDoS attacks, it is above 1 second a few times every hour.
gribble: There are currently 11713.428 bitcoins offered at or under 147.0 USD, worth 1658048.18491 USD in total. | Data vintage: 0.0017 seconds
mircea_popescu: MJR_> but I also thought that it was hilarious that they said "All exchanges suffer from lag"...yeah and we measure it in microseconds << just had this discussion above, was explaining how six promises 37 microsecond delay
gesell: did you read about the DDoS against spamhaus?
mircea_popescu: i think im getting a little frazzled i've been doing nothing but explaining this for the past 3 hours
gesell: i just aknowledge that
gesell: but in general spreading out the interfaces over different hauls could help, while also adding a lot of complexity
mircea_popescu: you have the trade engine separate
gesell: yeah was also thinking about this but I guess it depends on the nature of the DDoS. If it is similar to that used against spamhaus a few weeks ago... the attacker could still induce panic by attacking the website and read only API to get ticker
mircea_popescu: use distributed methods to diffuse ddos.
mircea_popescu: have trade engine separate from broker/website,
mircea_popescu: gesell this is a solved problem.
gesell: i highly doubt other exchanges would be prepared for such a DDoS. The issue is that people using other exchanges would make the target less obvious
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yes, n turns to t
MJR_: but I also thought that it was hilarious that they said "All exchanges suffer from lag"...yeah and we measure it in microseconds
