BitHub: yep saturday lunch
time
Namworld: Now
that he's sold at a hefty price all he got, he's attacking stuff
to send it all back down.
Namworld: Someone manipulated
the price. Convinced businesses
to accept Bitcoin and newswriter
to make good articles.
mircea_popescu: mpex is hanging by a
thread, mostly because it doesn't actually need a website
Chaang-Noi: im not
too shocked, someone just wants lower priced coins
jborkl_: Illlsend it Mp,
tell me
the detdeta
BitHub: thanks mircea, hope
to have some mpex in
there soon and have it in real
time
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu: how much money are we
talking?
mircea_popescu: anyone want
to process a coupla donations
to freenode for me ? you need cc/pp
BitHub: hey guys check out my
ticker bithub.asia hope
to be adding some assets prices and gold and silver prices soon :)
pigeons: if someone wants
to pm me a proxy
mircea_popescu: ciuciu couldn't afgford
to retire his 50 btc debt are you kidding m,e ?
Namworld: I don't
think any of
these individuals have such botnet access.
jborkl_: that Has 24hr access
to botnets
mircea_popescu: and blockchain.info wallet for instance isn't all
that fat.
jborkl_: whoo is
the biggest dipshit with a grudge?
There is your answer
Namworld: MPEx has a huge wallet... I would have
thought ransom request.
Namworld: Seems it's
targeting MPEx only.
mircea_popescu: ya but ideologically speaking, it'd seem an odd fit
to ddos bitcoin
Namworld: Infected computers don't cost much
to operate.
mircea_popescu: also
there's risks involved (if you run it continuously isps find your zombies)
Namworld: Unless it was started by a botnet owner, not purchased off
the black market.
mircea_popescu: there's literally not
that many people with a botnet good enough
mircea_popescu: not counting
the
time and effort involved on
the admin side
mircea_popescu: even if im getting half of all ddos bitcoing is getting ,
that puts
the
total cost of
this adventure in
the 10k range
Namworld: Where's
the request for money for it
to stop?
mircea_popescu: just
the
traffic i've clocked, and i've not clocked all of it, would have cost on
the black market a good few
thousand $$$
jborkl_: i already
thought of
this, and I know who
mircea_popescu: there is a lot of skill and
there are a lot of resources involved with such ample ddosing
mircea_popescu: while it's marginally possible some random internet bloke has
the power
to be doing all
this, it seems somewhat unlikely.
mircea_popescu: lol well folks... i hate
to be
the one feeding
the conspiracy
theories, but
Bowjob: those merchants
that need goods should pay other merchants in btc
Namworld: Because merchants being paid in BTC needs
to sell
them
to buy
the goods from others in USD...
Bowjob: if
they sell
to USD, its lose-lose. btc value goes down and
they get fiat
Bowjob: seems like a win win situation if everyone does
that
Namworld: That would be assuming I could even program such a
thing. I don't have
the know-how
to.
Bowjob: that way gox prices wont go down, and if we pay with BTC
the value doesnt go down
Bowjob: why dont we stop selling BTC for USD and jus BTC all
together
Namworld: Good for just placing an order or
two.
gribble: BTCUSD

Namworld: But
that's slow
to swiftly switch orders around.
Namworld: Well I could sign orders manually and use
the bot
Namworld: It was down. I
think jurov is currently putting it back up on amazon
mircea_popescu: the drawbacks of having a dayjob lol. it was his idea
to start with
nanotube: so, do we now have a complete bot interface
to mpex?
Namworld: But .7 wasn't really slow
to start with.
Namworld: I'm reloading
the blockchain now...
Namworld: I
think it's more of a problem with Armory but eh
Namworld: But I've been upgrading bitcoind/armory when new versions come out for quite some
time and it never fixed anything.
Namworld: now it crashes, doesn't update confirmations while running and
take 40 minutes
to boot.
Namworld: months ago, it used
to load in 3 minutes
Namworld: Armory still
takes it's goddamn sweet
time
to load
[\\\]: it shouldn't
take
that long
Namworld: I have hexacore with 8 GB ram...
the ressources are hardly being used.
Namworld: It
takes me 40 minutes
to boot
the damn
thing
jurov: and it can accept post requests
that show as files in s3 storage
jurov: i can mirror mpex
to
the s3 cdn
Namworld: I'm booting my Bitcoin Armory.
Tip incoming.
BitHub: is
this done in real
time?
jurov: i'll do mpex proxy
there, FUCK YA DDoSers
Namworld: It says perhaps i didn't sign
the key. But it worked before.
smickles: I was just recently able
to decode an mpex reply
kakobrekla: >>Bitcoin is beta, SatoshiDICE is
taking advantage of bugs in
the software.
assbot: !mp <signcrypted dpaste.com url> (desc: returns
the response from MPEX order)
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current
ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO)
B0g4r7: I
think he's an order-holding customer.
B0g4r7: ^ Suppose Luke-jr
travels
to BFL HQ next week and obtains BFL ASICs before
the 15th. Will
the bet be decided as
true? Does it still count as "delivery" if he picks
them up?
pigeons: really kind of ridiculous
to make a story and pretend it means more
than absolutely nothing
jurov: and messed up
the setup a bit, coinbr.com will be available when dns clears out
kakobrekla: i have a proxy runing but only for people i death with
this one aint leakin
jurov: but had
to drop mpex.coinbr.com, it's just not manageable
mod6: nanotube: when you get back... im still getting a 403 Forbidden when
trying
to get my OTP from gribble. I'll be back perhaps after midnight CDT if you need help or anything...
mod6: oh
thats cool.
thanks for checking
that out.
mod6: The good news is
that MPEx orders are processing with ye ole assbot
mod6: well, ok gotta run for a bit here... but got lots more
to do.
jurov: everyone fix ya code
to datetime.utcnow() < datetime(2013, 3, 9, 23, 59, 59)
jurov: i understood
the change will be
tomorrow... March 10 midnight
mod6: cause i can be lazy until i gotta update 'em with
the new mpex key
FabianB: if
they are online, yes, works exactly
the same
mod6: i gotta see if any of
the proxies can process PGP messages similar
to mpex.co used
to -- otherwise I gotta change my perl scripts
mod6: ok i was able
to use MPEx via dpaste & assbot
