mircea_popescu: yes. read up
the chat i just explained it 5 minutes ago
Chilca: mircea_popescu: are you having a DDOS attack? what's
the problem.
wiggzz: ok. no worries,
thanks
Chilca: mircea_popescu: Can I help you guys with
the infrastructure for
the site?
jurov: lol you should accept clearsigned orders,
too,
then.
jurov: waitwhat? ppl will publish urls
to encrypted orders on irc
to be picked up by mpoe bot?
imsaguy: the code for reading pastebin
to gpg
mircea_popescu: all you have
to do is
take urls from people and feed
them into server as pgp strings
imsaguy: second line is it only parses
text
imsaguy: and
then
the bot filters anything not formed as url
mircea_popescu: imsaguy yeah. last i
talked
to nanotube he was like "i don't want
this in production handling opm"
mircea_popescu: (and i don't
think
they have enough
to cope, but maybe)
Diablo-D3: I wonder if
that makes uunet
the original original message queue
imsaguy: how about mpex
trades via
telnet?
Diablo-D3: email,
the original next generation mail queue
mircea_popescu: imsaguy
the alternative is handle mpex
trades by email.
imsaguy: so you're having more babies
to win
the war?
mircea_popescu: i had
this sort-of prepared, but not actually provisioned and ready because
the shit is expensive
mircea_popescu: i could allow anyone
to start a proxy right now,
the
trade server is fine, etc.
the problem is
mircea_popescu: if
there's 9 left
the remainder ddos is available
to hit him
mircea_popescu: the
thing with
that system is
that it works by division. if
there's 100 of
them
there jurov can stay online.
mircea_popescu: but somebody did have
the determination
to spend a day and a half looking for
them, setting up
the ddosing for
them individually bla bla.
mircea_popescu: granted, it's not easy
to blow up a small shared setup like
that.
mircea_popescu: since
the attack started yesterday a
total of 100+ of
these were
taken offline.
mircea_popescu: so at
that
time i split
the
tubes up north/east, and started a bunch of proxies
mircea_popescu: now,
the reason admittedly was
that
the
thing was a little old and kidna loaded. but still.
mircea_popescu: there were
two more layers of routing
to get
to
the router
that handled
the webservers.
mircea_popescu: the first
time mpex was ddosed in january
the attack
took out
the actual datacenter
top level router.
mircea_popescu: there is five of
them sharing
two gigabit uplinks
through a balancer.
mircea_popescu: if you look at it practically
these webservers are practically proxies.
mircea_popescu: mpex consists of a
trade server and webservers which
the users
talk
to.
mircea_popescu: but
to sum up
the situation, cause i imagine many people are curious :
mircea_popescu: awww
that poor dude was sending me crazed messages
too.
jurov: mircea_popescu , is
there any place for mpex chinese/pakistani users
to inquiry about
the outage?
mircea_popescu: at some point
they were pasting half hour old
trades out of order into
the feed
mircea_popescu: and
the cherry on
top, Website performance is going
to be
the bane of many n00bs when it's
time
to sell
mircea_popescu: Gateway capacity
trouble at Coinbase? Is anyone else having problems with Bitme deposits? Mt.Gox Payment system problem What
the fuck Bitfinex? MtGox should halt
trading when Order Lag
time is
this long. Anyone's bitfloor deposits working?
mircea_popescu: looking
through
the forum digests
this is motherfucking sad
mircea_popescu: best i can make out you're a concern
troll with a checkered past.
Luke-Jr: not anarchist lunatics who can't figure out
the most obvious legal scenario
Luke-Jr: after all,
technology is for smart people..
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: you'd better leave
then
mircea_popescu: you literally have no idea what you are
talking about.
Luke-Jr: I don't care who it is, if
they flood
the network it's miners' job
to filter
them out
mircea_popescu: but it does not belong in
technology.
technology is for smart people.
mircea_popescu: if
there were 1mn users drawn
to bitcoin because of satoshi dice,
they'd just run piuk's wallet into
the ground, and you'd whine about how "blockchain is spamming
the network"
mircea_popescu: hahaha, if you
think retail users will run
that braindamaged abomination called "the bitcoin client" you're off your rocker.
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: it's easy. just go
to #bitcoin and ask SD players
to PM you.
mircea_popescu: i can make 1mn
txs right now, you won't be able
to produce an accurate usercount.
Luke-Jr: error4733: 1mil users can provide infra for 1000
tx/sec; what we have
today, no way
mircea_popescu: 1M user with 1000
tx/sec is easier
than 10 users with 1000
tx/sec <<< you can't even distinguish users apart.
error4733: all bs, erik is right, better now
than
to late
Luke-Jr: error4733: 1M user with 1000
tx/sec is easier
than 10 users with 1000
tx/sec
mod6: im not
trolling shit motherfucker
mircea_popescu: this wouldn't be by any chance related
to
the girl bitchslapping
that hearn muppet earlier, would it ?
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr dude, still with
this ? sd is
the only
thing happening on bitcoin, forget about it already.
mod6: i've been reading all
this btctalk stuff
today, and he's just wrong about SD spamming. just because he'd design SD differently.... or believes
that gambling is immoral because he loves jesus.
Luke-Jr: you'd rather see SD flood Bitcoin
to death
mircea_popescu: do you mind
that it's called Luke-Jr or whatever else ?
mircea_popescu: what difference does it make
to you
tho ?
there's going
to be an onion in any soup
mod6: i dunno what
to call it if I rate him down, but im
tired of
this shit.
mircea_popescu: going out of your way
to politically rate people... meh. not so much.
mod6: and
the fact
that he published some mining code
that breaks protocol and promotes it
to other miners.
mod6: all his nonsense about SD spamming
the blockchain
mod6: yeah, I might give out my second neg rating
to Luke-Jr
mircea_popescu: i knew
then
that it's not
the freaking government
that'll be
the issue on
the midterm.
mircea_popescu: it's funny, last year
the forum crowd was all aggitated about "o, da gubbinmint"
jurov: should it stay unreachable, i'll install everything
there
jurov: well,
this is new server.
the original one is not reachable
jurov: [18:31] <arij> yea
there is a massive amount of
traffic hitting
the node
jurov: but he was
talking about it being attacked as if it was no concern for him
jurov: and next
time i meet Namworld i do something nasty
to him

Namworld: Guess I'll go sleep and get back
to
trading
tomorrow
then.
mircea_popescu: to avoid any possible inconsistencies in dbases i am
taking
the ordering offline
tho.
mircea_popescu: no need
to panic, all data is safe, by
the
time
this is done mpex will have 10gb dedicated.
mircea_popescu: mpex servers will be offline for a few hours. we are reconfiguring
the router system, putting in new optics
Namworld: If no one ever pays extortion,
there goes
the incentive. Anti-DDoS measures are more cost effective.
Namworld: Who
the fuck has
time
to DDoS stuff anyway
maximian: yeah looks like coinbr.com is getting
the DDoS
treatment
maximian: mircea_popescu where is
that list of proxies again? mpex.coinbr.com isn't responding for me (I hope juror isn't under attack now)
