mircea_popescu: "Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) claimed today that "over 170 million jobs" could be lost due to sequestration. "
splnkr: maxine waters might say extreme stuff sometimes but she's no fool
splnkr: she's among the best Congress has to offer
splnkr: she was the one to bring allegations of CIA crack cocaine trafficking to light in DC
splnkr: that's a pretty big deal in my book
mircea_popescu: she's among the best congress has to offer and that's what she says
splnkr: in politics, sometimes you hyperbolize to make a point
splnkr: that's what you do when you're not lying
mircea_popescu: splnkr ya well, here's the deal : if there actually existed 170mn jobs in the us it wouldn't be in the crapper would it
splnkr: sometimes you take an extreme position to reach a better compromise
splnkr: it's called negotiation
splnkr: but i do see your point in this particular case

pigeons: lieing and misleading sucks. even though lying and misleading is expected of politicians, it still sucks, and because of their position, perhaps sucks more

splnkr: so for example, sometimes what looks like stupidity from the outside is really willful ignorance
mircea_popescu: but it's always easier to self aggrandize and hyperbolize than make points
splnkr: well the irony here is that story about maxine waters misquoting a number probably got more exposure than the story about her exposing the CIA-crack connection in the 90's

Zillion: np just wanting to be sure no wallet problems is all really
Zillion: thank ya sir...sorry, patience never been a strong suit for me
mjr__: i think it would be awesome if we could lend our shares out on mpex...with an escrow feature of some sort
Zillion: very new to all this if that is a dumb question
mjr__: so others could short
mjr__: and i could have my shares which are just sitting there earn extra income
ThickAsThieves: while ive never used btcjam, i like how the integrated using btct assets as collateral
mjr__: you COULD, but there is no escrow
jurov: thestringpuller, cause mp mentioned sendmany hairs
thestringpuller: mjr__: smickles is working on something for that purpose I thik
jurov: mjr__, shorting is by definition incompatible with simple escrow
mjr__: mircea_popescu: I would rather have my shares in a pool for lending with the understanding that the guy has to have assets to back it up. Similar to bitfinex's system
mjr__: but instead of BTC or USD, S.DICE and S.MPOE
mircea_popescu: unlike the bitfinex system w./e that is, you actually have signed receipts to prove this on mpex.
mircea_popescu: im sure any of the pt ops would do this, for instance.
jurov: i understood mjr__ looks for a broker he'll just push the shares to and broker does the legwork
mjr__: i meant a more automated system, yes Jurov and collects a portion of the interest or fees i generate
mjr__: ie. i can just leave my shares in that pool, but i specificy that my term will expire before dividends
mircea_popescu: actually iirc topace was working on some automation for crediting pushes to his PT
mjr__: even better win, if they win the bet, i can double down
mjr__: my whole point is that i want to increase my long position, but i don't want to buy at market, so if people want to sell at market, and then have to cover, i can buy back my own shares
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2200 @ 0.00075632 = 1.6639 BTC [+]
mjr__: if they are right and the short position works, i can increase my position for cheaper, if they are wrong, i get my original shares back anyway, and still rely on dividends
jurov: i'd prefer to run it closed with fixed interest, without dosclosing when i or someone other shorted and how much.
mjr__: exactly, i don't care who they are, i would rather trust mpex or coinbr than an individual person, provided that there is an autoclose out feature and there account is liquid enough to be able to buy back
jurov: transparency leads to somilar things like MPBPT investors bitching that i endangered their investment by setting the rate too high, lol
mjr__: some risk monitoring system
jurov: lmao maybe i can adapt bitcoinica code
jurov: yes that side is clear... but on the other side, maybe i can lend out to coinbr users where i can force liquidate them (hence bitcoinica reference)
pigeons: i dont mind being force liquidated as long as you give it a cute nickname like "starfished" or "juroved"
mircea_popescu: anyway, certainly a valid development direction, this.
mjr__: yes exactly, i don't want to rely on trusting them to return shares and be solvent
mjr__: if their account approaches insolvency they should get a margin call
mjr__: and if it reaches the point where they would be insolvent, they should be autoliquidated
jurov: okay, will plan it. but that even increases the risk of orders mismatch... mircea, how far are you with full tracking? did you determine it can be done?
jurov: who isn't following this - the "track" feature works basically only on half of transactions
jurov: the other half shows digest of other user's order
jurov: if i mismatch leveraged orders the mess will be bigger
mircea_popescu: sorry for the delay everyone. bitcoind is not yet exactly mature, needs a little expert oiling
mjr__: ah, good idea too, if you were to allow me to lend my btc out for margin on people it could work in the same system...but again, need very robust risk controls
Zillion: thats a BTC short for me???
mircea_popescu: you mean 21-02-13 19:54 No 357 2.00000000 19PN8 1.98876913 1Bye9 ?

mjr__: at the very least gross profit

mjr__: no one ever went broke taking profits...sell sell sell
mircea_popescu: "Consumer spending in the U.S. rose in January even as incomes dropped by the most in 20 years, showing households were weathering the payroll-tax increase by socking away less money in the bank."
mjr__: i was saying that as i kept my finger on the buy button, following goldman sach's modus operandi...tell people to do the exact opposite of what you plan on doing, and have them pay you for the "service"
mircea_popescu: the vote is in : the us public does not care whether the us ends.
mjr__: yes, but it is the system that makes savers into suckers
mjr__: i honestly think it may even be a partly subconscious effect whereby without concsciously realizing it, you know that saving is stupid when the value goes down so rapidly
mjr__: QE infinity and beyond

mjr__: but that is the point
ThickAsThieves: they even messed up real estate as investment for the middle and lower class

mircea_popescu: i could carry on an intelligent conversation with maybe 5% of the egyptians in either cairo or luxor

jcpham: wtf is a groupon anyways
jcpham: didn't they go out of business
jcpham: well i do not shop so idgaf
Diablo-D3: a lot of people collectively take up a discount
Diablo-D3: jcpham: not just items, services too
Diablo-D3: a lot of companies pulled out of groupon and refuses to honor groupon deals because groupon wouldn't set limits and shit
Diablo-D3: group on also had pretty fucked up internal financials
jcpham: groupon promotes consumerism
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 which is a polite way of saying they cooked the books for the ipo
jcpham: i'm violently anti-consumer
pigeons: it has a high carbon footprint
Diablo-D3: jcpham: consumerism isn't bad inherently
Diablo-D3: jcpham: like, I'll buy mass produced products…. they just have to be high quality ones
jcpham: when people band together in facebook hoardes to groupon their rent money?
Diablo-D3: like I just bought a $99 9" frying pan
jcpham: why the fuck would you pay 100$ for a pan
Diablo-D3: its an all copper frying pan with a thin layer of 18/10 stainless steel for the cooking surface
jcpham: i barely eat let alone spend money on retarded kitchen goods
pigeons: a good pre-seasoned cast-iron skillet?
Diablo-D3: I took advantage of a pricing error
Diablo-D3: pigeons: a good one of those is $20 =P
jcpham: pigeons that's a hand me down
pigeons: yeah that's what i have ;>
jcpham: grandma hooked us up with the cast iron
Diablo-D3: Im going to own one frying pan the rest of my life thats not cast iron
mircea_popescu: pigeons i have some cast iron stuff. the problem with it is the womenz can barely lift the stuff. some sauces require lifting the pot with one hand while stirring with the other
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: yeah, I wouldn't use cast iron for sauces
jcpham: i'm just poking at you Diablo-D3, if you want to spend money on copper pans and mine bitcoins on Nvidia
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: get a 18/10 stainless pot

mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 often enough you make the sauce in the same skillet you cooked the meat for juice economy.

Diablo-D3: but a white sauce or gravy? thats fine
jcpham: i can honestly say I'm never experienced the word juice followed by the word economy
jcpham: i think i should take a nap or bleed out or something
mircea_popescu: jcpham you never lived having to save your juice to satisfy many hungry mouths either.
Diablo-D3: jcpham: he basically said "gravy without getting another pan dirty"
Diablo-D3: I laughed out loud, Im a bad person. No wait, that other thing, Im awesome.
jcpham: i can't wait to drop "juice economy" on someone
jcpham: when they least expect it
Diablo-D3: but yeah, I wouldn't have paid $200 for this
Diablo-D3: infact, I didn't even want to pay $100
Diablo-D3: but when something like that comes up
Diablo-D3: woks are often cast iron or annonized steel
Diablo-D3: bronze is fine, although you usually don't see it anymore
Diablo-D3: stainless steel is the best for the surface though
Chaang-Noi: im pretty sure they are mostly steel that we have
Diablo-D3: you can get pans that are pure 18/10 stainless, and they're good
Chaang-Noi: fuck, im going to go check.. iv not been in the kitchen for months and im going in to see pots...
Diablo-D3: almost pure copper is 1%er kind of shit
Diablo-D3: there are pro chefs that don't use shit like this
Diablo-D3: nanotube knows what Im talking about
Chaang-Noi: i think the stuff we ahve is mostly steel
Diablo-D3: Chaang-Noi: 18/10 steel is what a lot of people have
Diablo-D3: like, commercial grade shit is usually pure 18/10 or aluminum/18/10 bonded
Diablo-D3: the best cooking surface you can get is 18/10 stainless
Diablo-D3: its not the best _conductor_ though
Diablo-D3: thats why a lot of high grade 18/10 stainless pans have a copper layer inside
Diablo-D3: the only thing better is as much copper as possible with a thin layer of 18/10 as the cooking surface
Chaang-Noi: i dont think im picky enough id notice the differance
Diablo-D3: unless you cook every single day and do hardcore shit, you'd never see it
mircea_popescu: am i seeing this right, we're getting a downtrend retarget ?!
Chaang-Noi: if i cant go out of have some one cook for me i will eat bread from the bag and beer...

Diablo-D3: osx can automatically spellcheck that
Chaang-Noi: i dont know, i never have. also spending more than 10 mins trying to get a meal is a waste of time
Chaang-Noi: my wife will spend 2 hours on a meal some times... fucking insane
mircea_popescu: i hear you say that im thinking "this is like saying spending more than 2 minutes to get laid is a waste of time"
Chaang-Noi: who spends more than 2 hours to get laid?
mircea_popescu: i don't think i spent two hours actually cooking yet tho
mircea_popescu: i don't mean the part between meeting the girl and getting her naked.
mircea_popescu: i mean the part between her being naked and you being done
Chaang-Noi: oh, i do BBQ, but i dont really count that as cooking
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: 2 minutes getting laid? wtf, must be an asian thing

mircea_popescu: so, normal company. issues 100 shares, makes 100 profit, retains 30% pays out 70%. dividend is .7 per share
mircea_popescu: weirdo glbse abomination : issues 100 shares, of which it sells 70 and keeps 30 "for growth". makes 100 profit now it pays out 1 per share
mircea_popescu: except each actual share gets a further .3 from the retainment
mircea_popescu: and then later maybe it sells some of the "kept" shares
mircea_popescu: in general it's just a way to equivocate ownership, which practically works as a way for the operator to steal equity.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves in a sense. it takes the bot out of the offer market, so he might be able to offer them back at w/e price suits him
ThickAsThieves: i think there's a lot of potential for playing ltc assets and ltc in general against btc
mircea_popescu: it's unlikely you'd make a oix bet that's too big in ltc, because ltc is kinda small.

Bugpowder: I just wonder how much of the tracking of it to BTC price is due to the MPOE bot's algorithm vs. true market sentiment
Bugpowder: there is, of course, a limit to how far a put or call imbalance can push the OIX
Bugpowder: also, have you examined its predictive power?
mircea_popescu: actually, there was a point where the oix was pushed to like 90
Bugpowder: whatever you call the option market making bot
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder i think miodterm. i think it was on an otherwise empty book someone buying some weird far out call
Bugpowder: like at this time horizion out, even a 100-0 call put ratio can only push the OIX so high dependent on the call price
assbot: [BTCTC] [GSDPT] 100 @ 0.0064 = 0.64 BTC [+]
Bugpowder: Is the OIX the like CO2? A trailing indicator?
mod6: ahh, its in the vwap now :)
Bugpowder: you, or someone (or me) should look at it's predictive power
Bugpowder: is there historical option trade data available?
mircea_popescu: tell you what, if you promise to write a good statistical analysis and publish it i'll send you the ~300 datapoints on that graph
Bugpowder: Let me consult with my statistical wizard friend
jurov: to me it looks more just glorified call/put sold ratio
Bugpowder: of course if there IS predictive power
jurov: because most of calls have same breakeven point, puts likewise
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder the thing is, my bet is that there is predictive power of arbitrary precision for contiguous subsets
mircea_popescu: it'd only be fair in the fucked sense that term takes in any natural science/
jurov: i found them being +- 1BTC
mircea_popescu: draw the graph if you will, it's a symetrical butterfly.

gribble: 1 BTC = 34.02000 U.S. dollars = 26.1330466 Euros
Bugpowder: A lot of the option purchases occur when there is a large divergence between realtime spot price and 24hprc

mjr_: thought that was a nickname for bbet
jurov: thestringpuller, srsly. so you want to wipe the acct completely?
mjr_: yes, i see they are two different sites now
mjr_: hey jurov, sorry i am negative, should i liquidate a position or can we wait for s.dice dividends?
mjr_: i thought they would be in by now
jurov: they will be anytime till March 5
mjr_: k, if that is too long i can liquidate mpoe
mjr_: or i will just fund some more
TradeFortress: prehaps it's because S.DICE wants bigger dividends this month so they're delaying it until the 5th
mjr_: yeah, i'll fund some more, should be in by tomorrow morning, hopefully i can scoop up some more s.dice too lol
mjr_: TradeFortress: pretty sure they will just cut it off at the 28th and the rest goes toward next month
mjr_: i know that whole group is on a trip at the moment

mjr_: lol, this is the best irc channel ever
mjr_: someone should really make a tv show about bitcoin...the drama lol
mjr_: note to self: start writing pilot based on bitcoins
mjr_: pilot episode for people to watch and decide to buy a season
mjr_: not that i have ever done that
mjr_: but hey how hard can it be right lol
mjr_: maybe go straight to netflix or something
jurov: i recommend it to involve satoshi building it all only for him be able to raise money for clay mugs workshop and troll around

mjr_: the man who does what he loves never works a day in his ligfe

mjr_: if anyone wants to see a really crappy website, feel free to check out btcshares.com
mjr_: its basically just a placeholder
jurov: and judging from the photos, never wear hair
mjr_: except for all the copying and pasting
mjr_: that is the service i provide
mjr_: a place to donate bitcoins to me
mjr_: which is extremely annoying to me
mjr_: like i said, placeholder
mjr_: i worked on all the backend stuff today
mjr_: tomorrow i try to do design stuff
jurov: data-address="1LokQrHj14NU93tC6pZfTZyyRHhAVakQmX"
mjr_: but i set up twitter, email, admin stuff...and got the website online
jurov: i stole ya address
mircea_popescu: TradeFortress just jabbing at you re your forum encounter
mjr_: oh for the donate button?
mjr_: yeah, well, i included that only to try it out
mjr_: and cuz i wanted to get the btcshares label for an address
mjr_: although maybe i will try to get a vanity address
mjr_: i made that site in under an hour just to test switching domain stuff and getting dns in order
mjr_: like 5 min might be more accurate as far as design and aesthetics
mjr_: i plan on just hosting my performance and financials there
mjr_: i am not as of yhet
mjr_: how do you establish trust though?
mjr_: i am not going to trade at all
mjr_: i just use exchanges
mjr_: oh, i am getting $ clients
mjr_: people who know about bitcoins probbably can figure it out for themselves
mjr_: but old people with cash can't
jurov: mjr_ if you use coinbr you can ask me to look up. i'll then rate you like "-10 did not pay coinbr monthly fee"
mjr_: although to be fair i paid most of it so far
mircea_popescu: mjr_ lisrten, that's half of the story. what do you do with the bitcoins ?
mircea_popescu: so suppose one day you loan some shares out to someone
mjr_: hopefully lend them
BitHub: i currently do this for older or newb people as well
mjr_: and i will probably eventually need a seat on mpex
BitHub: i charge a 10% helpers fee
mjr_: i also have a mining operation getting under way
mjr_: but not little puny ones
mjr_: hoping for 10GH per card
BitHub: make sure you try ordering from BFL labs today
mjr_: start with 3 cards...not the best, but still half an avalon almost
mjr_: way larger than spartans or altera's
mjr_: hoping for 10gh per
mjr_: maybe overly optimistic
mircea_popescu: but if used and a good price i guess may be a good deal
mjr_: free and sitting around
jurov: mjr_ there's sometimes a good deal on -otc too, i got amazon codes, small paypal payments and like
mjr_: 3 of those, plus maybe one virtex 5 if worth it
mircea_popescu: he has a point. also, you'd think i'd never trade. yet recently i got like a dozen sa gift certs.
mjr_: anyways, i have 3 small projects and one big one
jurov: the bitch ain't one
mjr_: the fpga miners, the boutique hedge fund, and a bitcoin horseracing sitte

mjr_: lol nice $17 spread
mjr_: i switched to dollars
mjr_: oh i get what you mean
mjr_: very small dollar volume
mjr_: ah yeah, their euro book is a lot better
mjr_: well yeah, but better than dollar for sure
mircea_popescu: but they seem to me more trustworthy than anyone else on the strength of actually getting the bank partnerships right
mjr_: well, i hope to change that
mjr_: working on an aggregated order book...and then hopefully a routing and matching engine
mjr_: that is the big thing
mjr_: hoping to get a big source of volume soon
mjr_: open up a new market
mjr_: and need to provide a steady access to all markets to convince them

mjr_: can i work on it tomorrow?
mjr_: if you guys are around?
jurov: tomorrow is sunday, we're closed
mjr_: i mean, what address should i use?
mjr_: should i maintain a separate one for business and personal?

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 15 @ 0.66 = 9.9 BTC [-]
jurov: and it isn't clear to me why/how would you want to manage separate webs of trust
mjr_: i mean as long as i run my business it would be important for me to have a high wot rating
mjr_: but if i were to leave...i couldn't leave it to someone else
BitHub: is your business pandering hard to the community or mainstream?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11129 @ 0.0007449 = 8.29 BTC [+]
BitHub: then i wouldn't worry about WOT so much
mjr_: well, still important
mjr_: even from marketing perspective
BitHub: mainstream have no clue about it
mjr_: but you know how people list stuff on websites
mjr_: and i may need to do stuff using otc
mjr_: but would rather my corporate persona was the one who had the trust
mjr_: i don't plan on doing a lot personally
BitHub: don't get caught up in a rating war tho
BitHub: could be damaging to business rep
mjr_: like i said, i haven't used otc yet
mjr_: and maybe i might toy with it
mjr_: but i want computers to deal with stuff like that
jurov: we'll see how it goes. dunno if there was anyone who maintained corporate persona on wot
mjr_: the matching engine and such
mjr_: yeah, i kind of like how it is very personal here
BitHub: better off having a customer feedback thing on your site or osmething
BitHub: quotes from mainstream professionals
mjr_: well, as i said, my goal is to be a layer between a big mainstream source and a bunch of exchanges
BitHub: "wow this site is really good" Mark Cuban
mjr_: ideally the mainstream end users wouldn't even be aware of me
BitHub: +1 yeah we had a good trade - BitHub
mjr_: there are some companies that have 20-30k accounts
mjr_: and all those guys do is trade forex
mjr_: but they would need a STRONG source of liquidity
mjr_: and the best bids and asks
BitHub: BitHub is currently building infrastructure, investing and networking within the Bitcoin community and the Mainstream to bridge the two together to provide a very straight forward, trustworthy, professional services.
mjr_: and enterprise level hardware with some big financial people behind it
mjr_: yeah that is the goal right
mjr_: i have been disheartened by how hard it is for people on wall street to get in the game
mjr_: traders at my firm have half a mill to play with at work
BitHub: isn't it about to get alot easier for them
mjr_: yeah...believe it when i see it
BitHub: or tell your wall street buddies to buy into a bitcoin company
mjr_: not to mention...it would just be a mt gox pass through
mjr_: they don't own their positions
mjr_: and they trade with high leverage
BitHub: that's where you come in my friend as a Bitcoin Broker and you do it for these people and charge them a broker fee
mjr_: they couldn't invest outside of work
mjr_: but they can't press buttons to make bitcoins appear on their screens
BitHub: outsource some helpers from china
mjr_: and till someone makes it so that you can use etrade (def not what we use) or like a sterling or laser type platform
BitHub: they don't need to, they just go to your site, type in a code or whatever and can see their balance
mjr_: professional traders can't get involved
mjr_: i mean, their accounts with their money can't connect to my website
mjr_: and it isn't really their website
mjr_: they get to trade with 20x or more leverage
BitHub: cant you set up your own bank account and get these people to dump the fiat in there?
mjr_: but they leave all that at the office
BitHub: and then you make the bitcoin buys for them?
mjr_: basically they have to use their trading accounts
mjr_: and their trading accounts connect to nyse, nasdaq, edgea, edgex, bats etc
mjr_: so they can buy stuff from there
jurov: mjr_ have you seen bit4x.com or 1broker.com ?
mjr_: and that is how most of finance is
BitHub: so you need a bitcoin platform that can kind of plug into that exisiting platform?
BitHub: because they're using their coporate trading accounts
mjr_: i need them to be able to plug in bloomberg
BitHub: which is like really big money
mjr_: if they open up their own accounts it might be 500
mjr_: their professional accounts might be over 1 mill
mjr_: traders don't do it at home
mjr_: but again typically with their 401k or their investment account
mjr_: the goal for me is to not make them open up a new account
BitHub: hmmm follow the coinlab stuff
mjr_: but rather give them something to buy with their existing accounts
BitHub: maybe you can act as a broker for them via that site
BitHub: so they only have to deal with you
mjr_: too long; didn't read: wall street professionals don't open up new accounts for all their trades, they use their existing high margin accounts
mjr_: that's the goal for the platform, plug into existing infrastructure
mjr_: and become the gateway for that infrastructure to the bitcoin world
BitHub: but the exisiting infrastructure its not like you could plug gox right into it yeah?
BitHub: there's alot of licences, government approval wallstreet approval etc etc
Ukto: BitHub: I wouldtn btoher with coinlab
mjr_: but it is mostly a matter of getting the deal
Ukto: there will be other options for gox
Ukto: before their thing hits
Ukto: trust me on this. ;)
mjr_: my point is that everyone doesn't use nasdaq to trade aapl
BitHub: we talked about it yesterday
mjr_: even though aapl is listed on nasdaq
mjr_: i can buy aapl on any one of a ton of differrent venues
mjr_: and they all have different fees, volume, prices
mjr_: so i can pick and choose
mjr_: so someone has to offer choices and volume
mjr_: its a long tough road i think
mjr_: which is why i am more excited abvout my small easy projects
mjr_: which are already coming together
mjr_: when i showed a trader what i was doing, he was like "why aren't you scalping this all day, like do it right now"
BitHub: so i dont understand the problem
BitHub: why they cant buy bitcoins using their coporate accounts
mjr_: of course they have no way of sending an electronic order
mjr_: so let's say they call me
mjr_: because they trust me
BitHub: or do an order via your site
BitHub: if you had a live chat option like i do
mjr_: and say hey, i wanna get 1000 btc right now, what kind of price am i looking at?
mjr_: let's assume i actually had the market data to tell them
mjr_: looking at all the exchanges and finding the best price
BitHub: it would probably just be based on mtgox price
mjr_: ok, well, i have to wire the money out of my account, and then i have to wire you the money
mjr_: ok see you in 5 days then
BitHub: you cant float it for him?
mjr_: but not at that amount
mjr_: and not in any way that would make me money
mjr_: the point is to be able to use the existing accounts so i don't hve to worry about their funding
BitHub: start with 1000 dollar limit maybe
mjr_: since funding is always the worst part of bitcoin trading
mjr_: mt. gox...10+ days to verify using dwolla
BitHub: let me tell you a secret
BitHub: i buy outside of mtgox and its always cheaper than the current market price at that time
mjr_: and again, they just did a trade with their own money and it didn't really relate to their job at all
mjr_: but speed is the key here
mjr_: and also, your P&L will show your account
mjr_: not what you do with some person outside of the system
mjr_: ie. you want to have this be a trade done as part of their profession, not as a side job or something
BitHub: you need direct relationships with miners
mjr_: that is the synergy with the fpga project i have going on
BitHub: or set up a seperate branch to your company that's strickly a bitcoin mining company
mjr_: if i can get the equivalent of half an avalon
mjr_: it'll be a nice little start
mjr_: but suffice it to say
BitHub: and you can start writing off equipment and electricity against your bitcoin mining company
mjr_: lol, no cost equipment or electricity
mjr_: what i am planning on doing
mjr_: and what we are working on
mjr_: is a symbol on a platform where people already trade dollars, euros, pounds and yen
mjr_: so now it is dollars, euros, pounds yen and bitcoins
mjr_: ie. i don't have to worry abourt your funding, or settlement, i just worry about executing orders against the bitcoin exchanges
mjr_: and collecting fees
mjr_: their forex company, who has said they are interested, would take care of the accounts, but they would offer one more symbol for their traders
BitHub: so you're actually working on software?
mjr_: we have a top tier software system in place
mjr_: my boss at my day job called it "a ferrari on a dirt road" lol
BitHub: sounds good and a bit crazy what you're doing, keep my updated :)
mjr_: yeah, but it basically would have like a matching engine so say account #25671 wants to buy and account #12543 wants to sell, it can match them internally, saving us the fees from mt. gox or wherever
mjr_: that is internalization
mjr_: with 30k accounts...we can prob do quite a bit of internalization
mjr_: and with volume, we can lower our rates at gox, and cut better deals with others
BitHub: just you know whatever you do, don't let those guys ruin bitcoin hey?
mjr_: i want them to see this as an introduction
mjr_: so they start using it in everyday life
mjr_: AND, if it works, get interviewed on CNBC
mjr_: my little boutique tiny hedge fund will post some amazing gains
mjr_: well...not sure, we got the software and the servers and the location
mjr_: my partner/boss is meeting with those guys for our company (day job) but also selling them on this idea (our own side thing)
mjr_: so, if our deal goes through
BitHub: yeah of course heh nyc exchange
mjr_: it is fairly reasonable odds that this other thing goes through
mjr_: providing we can deliver a stable good source of liquidity to them
mjr_: so i am mostly working on that right now
mjr_: i think its probably 50/50 at best that it'd done in a year
mjr_: depends, i am not exactly sure what the demand would be
BitHub: i'm still a startup myself trying to figure this stuff out, based in Australia / Asia check us out sometime - bithub.asia bithub.com.au bithub.biz
mjr_: but ideally, they could move large amounts of money relatively quickly and without too much slippage
mjr_: i'm definitely hoping to partner with people in some way or another in the future
mjr_: if they can provide access to markets
mjr_: i would really like to work with bitfloor since they are NYC based, but i would like to have routes everywhere
assbot: [BTCTC] [COGNITIVE] 6 @ 0.3 = 1.8 BTC [+]

jurov: <TradeFortress> Selling up to 100 ASICMINER shares, pm me with offers.
mjr_: actually talked to him too
mjr_: i would love to pick up some
mjr_: lol whats funny is that that company is more like a private equity thing than public company
mjr_: people always making back room deals and stuff
BitHub: mjr i'm all about partnering up and collaboration if you want help or access to australian/asian markets in the future, lets hook it up :)

Bowjob: LTC went up to 10 cents
Eduard_Munteanu: BTW, how do you manage shares traded on your exchange? I hear asicminer people had to do some manual bookkeeping. Do you keep an exchange-local tab?
Eduard_Munteanu: But then I suppose you can't trade shares outside the exchange.
jurov: Eduard_Munteanu, you asking mircea?
jurov: he already admitted he has girls for that
jurov: and yes, the shares don't go outside exchange. this is why we have all these passthroughs
Eduard_Munteanu: Ideally shares could work like BTC, I wonder if that's possible.
mircea_popescu: Eduard_Munteanu that's not ideal. it's actually a bad idea. the horse has been discussed to death
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 5 @ 0.61 = 3.05 BTC [-]
Eduard_Munteanu: But isn't there a crypto way to accomplish the same thing, perhaps different than BTC? You still need exchanges.
Eduard_Munteanu: If this has been discussed on the forums, I'd be glad to read those threads.
Eduard_Munteanu: Unlike BTCs, shares are by definition centralized I suppose.
mircea_popescu: (Selling was halted during the month of Feb. to change payment methods.)
mircea_popescu: Bitcoin pride averages a 70% profit. Don't you want a piece of the pie too?
mircea_popescu: who was saying they've eaten up their market earlier ? they had a point it seems
BitHub: so they're losing money each month?
Eduard_Munteanu: mircea_popescu: I see the problem. Still, wouldn't an exchange / market-maker be able to eliminate all those delays for things traded within the exchange? Not sure how one'd deal with double spending if you don't wait for confirmations.
kakobrekla: the formula it seems is Income( rand() ) - 1 grand = profit
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla unless the sqrt log guy has a better solution, i think you're spot on.
Eduard_Munteanu: mircea_popescu: yes. And committing changes to the blockchain periodically. The exchange is still pretty important, but at least you can move stuff between exchanges in a standard way.
Eduard_Munteanu: Not sure about OTC trading, but presumably you could do it manually somehow.
mircea_popescu: if you can do it automatically like topace is trying you necessarily can do it manually too
mircea_popescu: the way asicminer is playing this game makes me scratch my head.
mircea_popescu: so they're pointedly not coming to be listed on mpex, jump through the hoops and get my ok.
mircea_popescu: instead they're waiting for btct/bf/others run passthroughs
mircea_popescu: now what happens if six months down the road friedcat pulls a gigavps ?
mircea_popescu: Ukto, burnside and whoever else involved gets scammer tags ? or what ?
Eduard_Munteanu: You're saying they're intentionally delaying listing on MPEx?
mircea_popescu: i'm saying they're either through sheer incompetence, sheer lack of resources or by actually being frauds behave just like a fraud would.
Eduard_Munteanu: IDK, getting listed should've been negotiated even before the IPO, in my opinion. People have to have some way to buy / sell those stocks easily.
dub: sound slike something to do with selling shares
dub: which is, as we know, not how you invest!
dub: oh right, where he lists bitcoins: he is counting litecoins
pigeons: yeah as btc was going up, ltc was going down to track the dollar and stay at .07 usd rather than stay at a ratio to btc
dub: bfl realy do deserve some kind of award
dub: they should be held up as a shining example of how to fail at pr
mircea_popescu: nah, coinlab is the shining example of how to fail at pr.
pigeons: we brought bitcoin to wall street in silicon valley
mircea_popescu: "drunk whore stumbles into wallstreet bar, announces she's brining the clap to wall street"
dub: im not sure if hiring inaba or letting your userbase add content at a yourdomain.com/blog/ url IS DUMBER
dub: it took quite a few moments to decipher that I was not actually reading an official bfl blog
mircea_popescu: sooo, three chicks drank four liters of vodka in two days.
dub: I should delve into this road trip expenses sheet
dub: yes, 6 people, 6 days, 10k
Bowjob: apparently we have a new ASIC company that is ready to ship
Bowjob: this one's from hungary
BitHub: where can i place a bet that coinlab will be out of business by end of year?
mircea_popescu: BitHub on bitbet, if you can well define out of business
BitHub: well maybe not out of business
BitHub: what i want to bet on this being a huge fail
dub: theres only $633 worth of whiskey listed here, I don't think thats accurate
dub: I recall at least 4 bottles that where brought from home
BitHub: wish i live near hungary
Bowjob: if its legit, I'll fly over there to pick a couple of them
BitHub: i would sell my car today and go get one tomorrow
Bowjob: I don't know the price yet
BitHub: where everything is expensive
dub: mircea_popescu: I thought it was teh lion/bear licesning regime
dub: I heard that on the radio a few days ago, first thought 'wonder if mp shows up on irc today'
BitHub: better not touch my pet tiger
mircea_popescu: the idea that you need a permit for stuff is certainly new here
BitHub: bit of a long shot but would anyone be able to help me out and send one of those to Australia?
BitHub: customs will probably take it and start mining themselves
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: You are beginning to see some of the strange contradictory nature of the asicminer people, I think, that I've been complaining about for months.
dub: why is it a mess to export?
dub: its a computer, we have been shipping these around the place for a wee while now
dub: customs can test for bombliness
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: You mentioned earlier that they are behaving fraudulently-like.. This is permeating more than just the way they are handling their stocks, but elsewhere as well, and it's troubling because unethical people in their position, could conceivably have done a much larger order to start with than what they are reporting, and the attraction of doing double-spends is quite large if, indeed, the evidence is correct when
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic well, i don't know the whole thing, but from this angle it looks more like they're clueless/haven't been thinking things through/haven't slept in weeks
mircea_popescu: tho its quite possible they're ill intended too, sure.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I would be very interested to hear from you if you discover that they aren't just clueless, but seemingly deliberately clueless.
midnightmagic: Or if you begin to make observations that suggest it is not pure ignorance.
mircea_popescu: but so far my belief is they just don't understand finance
midnightmagic: dub: And yet ngzhang is one of the most ethical businesspeople I've seen in a long time.
dub: midnightmagic: I'll assume you're being facetious?
midnightmagic: dub: I am not. ngzhang is extremely ethical, or else Icarus wouldn't exist.
dub: lets deal with teh first question, my mind is somewhat boggling
mircea_popescu: there's plenty of scummy americans, iranians, turks and eskimos in this world
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Eskimos don't like being called Eskimos. :)
dub: midnightmagic: this is the the same dude involved in avalon right? the 'we shipped' guy
midnightmagic: dub: The "we shipped and they're sitting in customs at the beginning of CNY." and also , "Geez, with all this negativity, maybe we'll just be quiet until there's actually something to talk about." guys..
midnightmagic: dub: Also the latest update, "Rest of the units will have been shipped by around Mar 10, everyone should have batch #1 in hand by about mid-March" people.
dub: pitty they're not 'here are the tracking numbers' people though really
dub: anyway, being chinese decreases ones ability to think strategically and reason counterfactually
dub: this is a genetic/language thing thats been done to death
midnightmagic: If you're jerking my chain, your delivery is too dry.
dub: im not, try meeting some chinese people
dub: I hear there are a couple up your way
dub: we'll I don't but based on past discussions I think its rather unlikely
dub: you are far too empathetic for one
midnightmagic: dub: I'm at a loss here to meaningfully discuss this with you. I don't know where to start. If you're serious, I'm fairly sure we are so alien that there is basically no common ground on which to meaningfully converse for this topic.
dub: anyway, if you remove any racist overtones you have automatically inferred, it explains a lot about the comms we've seen from avalon and asicminer
dub: midnightmagic: you're gettign there, its par for the course with you (you'd make a terrible anthropologist)
midnightmagic: dub: Is it now. I'm.. glad you're paying such close attention to my activity that you think you have me pegged.
dub: midnightmagic: I don't really have time to go through this, there is quite a bit of literature out there
kakobrekla: During the BDT experience, because i was very concerned about the high interest bond and the lack of supporting high revenues i've made the decision (unethical, possibly illegal) to repurpose some of the funds raised with the IPO.
kakobrekla: Those funds were invested through some chinese partners of mine in asic equipment.
assbot: [BTCTC] [GSDPT] 5 @ 0.0059 = 0.0295 BTC [+]
midnightmagic: dub: Much of the literature usually cited to conclude such things has been thoroughly debunked, so perhaps someday when you're willing to cite, after making such assertions, I'd be glad to read and evaluate such studies.
dub: midnightmagic: regarding the chinese, not your culteral naivety
dub: yes, well I'm more of an experience guy than a take debunkment at face value guy. Dorkins calls it the belief gene, though I don't really believe it exists.
midnightmagic: dub: Making negative assertions about the person you are having a discussion with is not usually productive. I'm readjusting my evaluation of your random, seemingly-connected comments post-statement.
dub: midnightmagic: its an observation grounded in experience, not a negative assertion
midnightmagic: dub: I'm fairly sure your evaluation of my cultural "naivete" is based on incomplete data.
midnightmagic: dub: Also, if you are an experience guy, then why are you pointing to external data as the foundation of your assertions rather than just your experience?
dub: midnightmagic: thats easy, it closely mirrors what I have observed
mircea_popescu: <dub> this is a genetic/language thing thats been done to death << it's not genetic, it's cultural.
midnightmagic: dub: I'll presume you are aware of the notion of confirmation bias.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> Those funds were invested through some chinese partners of mine in asic equipment. <<< ahaha epic
dub: midnightmagic: and I'f I were a victim of that would I need to have read about this before or after observing it?
midnightmagic: dub: ALl that's required is that you reject well-grounded studies that disagree with your opinion, while selecting out those studies which agree with it or reinforce it in some fashion.
dub: I guess at some point, some people like to actually form an opinion
midnightmagic: dub: Sure, course. Nothing wrong with an opinion so long as data can update it.
dub: the problem is you can likely produce data to refute any opinion as can I
midnightmagic: dub: Lots of people think that, but it is also possible to assess the quality of the data. So, IMO, no, it's not possible to find quality data which refutes any opinion.
dub: i'd like to continue this and know it looks like weasling out
dub: but im not in a meeting, on teh phone, and working to a thight deadline
midnightmagic: I'm sorry you think that. You should realise that the implication is that I am aserting my mind can be changed.
dub: and typing without looking at my screen
midnightmagic: Unlike most people, I am not interested (this time) in simply honing my ability to refute. If and when you come up with actual cites, I'd be happy to look them up. I still have fulltext research credentials at the local university.

dub: midnightmagic: a little while ago there was a conversation where you appeared to be floored by the notion that in some locations/cultures the base assumption of a strangers actions being altruistic was false
Eduard_Munteanu: I wonder if bitcoiners are going to experiment with different governance rules / contracts than you usually see in the real world. Which is usually majority of shares.
midnightmagic: dub: I was floored by the fact that it was so *in that specific locale*.
dub: midnightmagic: its not the only time you have appeared to me to base your arguments around a world view couched in priviledged western culture
Eduard_Munteanu: I guess mircea_popescu pledges to be the benevolent dictator of MPEx forever, after reading a bit through the contract.
mircea_popescu: if at least he had the guts to post something like "Same"

mircea_popescu: maximian but last month there literally were only 10mn on the market.
mircea_popescu: mpex won't let someone pay fewer shares than actually are issued

burnside: <mircea_popescu> now what happens if six months down the road friedcat pulls a gigavps ? -- I think we would have to do the AML paperwork.
mircea_popescu: burnside i'm just saying, you are underwriting a lot of risk that you can't control.
burnside: definitely. thus the disclaimers in the contract.
burnside: I'm more worried about their competition beating them out though than I am about friedcat running off.
mircea_popescu: it's not your fault, best i can see, just asicminer acting very weird.
burnside: Yeah, I can't figure out if it's the lack of sleep, or what.
dub: what is the weird acting?
mircea_popescu: dub baiscally they choked their investors by refusing to list to the point that people out of sheer desperations made private pts
mircea_popescu: now one of the most promising ipos of the year so far has been reduced to a 70 btc opening day.
Namworld: god, why did I sold all these ASICMINER shares for 0.40 =/
dub: Namworld: want to buy some?
Namworld: I sold some time ago? Before she even said anything I believe.
burnside: tbh tho, 0.4 is still 4x what you got 'em for, no?
burnside: not a bad return on ~6 months?
ZedsterX: i want to buy some but banks are too slow
Namworld: Also if Friedcat had shares trading again after GLBSE closed you would probably have been able to buy back my ASICMINER cheap to fill that short contract.
mircea_popescu: Namworld at any point between october and january they could have listed and been tip top shape
dub: mircea_popescu: so in reality your 'acting weird' could simply be explained by, inability to strategize
dub: to me its just acting chinese
mircea_popescu: i've not fucked enough chinese girls to have a clue so far.
Namworld: Instead of lending to Amazingrando.
dub: the failure here is your preconception of normal thiking
Anduck: Namworld: how much they're paying now?
Namworld: ASICMINER already sent a first payment?
mircea_popescu: in other news, mpex db dump has been optimized to take up less space. nothing's broken, it's just naturally halfsized.
Anduck: mircea_popescu: yeah they paid 0.025 btc/share

Anduck: couldnt do it urself???
Namworld: and bought 20k ASICMINER (10k USD). You'd now have 20k x 0.65 BTC = 13 000 BTC worth
Namworld: or close to half a million dollar at today's prices
mircea_popescu: Namworld no. things don't scale like that. you'd have ~70 btc's worth of shares and 12930 btc worth of paper & dreams.
Anduck: i bought asicminer with all my glbse stack xD
Namworld: mircea: I'm only evaluating current trading price.
Anduck: but -really- they buy asicminer for 0.65?? =D
Namworld: As long as ASICMINER keeps up like that.
mircea_popescu: Anduck i think if you push burnside your stocks you get the pt and can trade
Namworld: You could sell part for your initial 2k BTC no problem tho.
ThickAsThieves: you can push to Deadterra on BF too, he's free, and takes 0% of divs
Anduck: nah i dont wanna trade, mp
mircea_popescu: no Namworld. if asicminer keeps up like it's currently doing it'll go to shit.
mircea_popescu: but this is a. less than dividends for most stocks b. much less than mpoe bonds etc.
Namworld: But daily interest, callable at face value anytime.
Namworld: I guess the possibility to withdraw at face value anytime is interesting enough.

B0g4r7_: The ppl in #bitcoin-dev would know better.
Bowjob: eh.. i dont understand lol
mircea_popescu: Bowjob it's like this : you can only spend a WHOLE input.
iz: B0g4r7_: so you had 82.308 in a single bitcoin address, and you wanted to spend 56.82.. so 56.82 goes to where you want to spend it, and then 25.48 comes back in change to one of your new randomly generated wallet addresses

maximian: but yeah, a great way to verify income
Lyspooner: on bitbet, create a long-dated bet with a close to 50-50 outcome, bet both sides of it, take advantage of the early weighting part of the algorithm
mircea_popescu: you underwrite the marketmaker risk for a possible profit down the road.
mircea_popescu: im sure as more people figure out what's what there's going to be bookmaking of this sort, for everyone's benefit
Lyspooner: it's an interesting way to earn positive interest rates on deposits at the expense of later bettors
Bugpowder: This is what I did with the NFL bets
Bugpowder: Also set the ratio at the real moneyline
Lyspooner: i did something like that, where i just bought a bunch of bitcoins with money

mircea_popescu: so is there anything to this story about asicminer chips blowing out like baloons or just bs ?
Chaang-Noi: asicminer has not been proven to mine over 5th
Chaang-Noi: we seem to have hit a wall and no one knows why
Chaang-Noi: this could be for 1000 different reasons
Chaang-Noi: clearly they are mining like crazy... also i expect the next dividend to be crazy
BitHub: the forum post don't look good
dub: friedcat said they were having power problems
[\\\]: why would the next dividend by crazy?
[\\\]: they've onyl paid out 30% of ipo to date and once they hit that threshold, twice as many shares will be collecting future dividends
Chaang-Noi: first dividend they took out paying off a lot of debt, i assume second dividend all debt has been delat with
[\\\]: and what about in 2 weeks when 300 avalons finally arrive?
[\\\]: and bfl starts shipping?
Chaang-Noi: i said next dividend, not in a month...
[\\\]: its whenever friedcata gets to it
[\\\]: mircea_popescu: some say thats not soon enough
[\\\]: you know, miners should be paid instantaneously
Chaang-Noi: might get changed to thursday however cuz of last week but i expect weekly and i expect this week to be like .05 maybe
[\\\]: how long did they mine before paying the first dividend?
Chaang-Noi: they got atleast 15% of the network right?
gribble: Error: "nethahs" is not a valid command.
BitHub: awww yeah i hope its .05 per share
[\\\]: 2 they mined for 2 weeks, paid debt, paid .03 div
[\\\]: so now they've mined for 1 week
[\\\]: expecting .05 is a bit much
Chaang-Noi: okay i did the math, maybe .02 is beter
[\\\]: another week, another 15% diff jump
[\\\]: another week, 300 avalons
Chaang-Noi: but if 5th gos to 12 th and 12 th goes to 60 th....
[\\\]: Chaang-Noi: after .1, your div gets cut in half
Chaang-Noi: i thought batch one shipped in jan? :)
[\\\]: so it takes doubling just to keep even
[\\\]: it was never to ship in jan
Chaang-Noi: yeah the .1 get cut in half, but that money gets invested into new asics right?
[\\\]: that will cost money
[\\\]: those shares aren't the company
Chaang-Noi: im pretty happy with asicminer, and if bfl keeps failing...
[\\\]: friedcat has to get paid
[\\\]: those three own the other half
[\\\]: anyone paying .6/share is gonna take a long while to pay off
Chaang-Noi: im going to assume they keep 10% network for a year and see what that brings in...
[\\\]: who is paying 100 btc a share?
[\\\]: I've got a bunch to sell then
[\\\]: point still remains
[\\\]: anyone buying at .6 will take a while to pay off

[\\\]: assuming the company survives
[\\\]: mircea_popescu: aye, been there, done that ;)
[\\\]: until they can answer why they're stuck on 5
Chaang-Noi: okay assuming they only keep 105 of the network on average for a year that is .3285 in two years double that to about what it is selling for now...
[\\\]: two years in bitcoin is forever
Chaang-Noi: yeah i sold some at .6 but keeping the alst half,
Chaang-Noi: also if they get 20% on average for a eyar that is much higher
ThickAsThieves: they really should give info about what the hold up is
[\\\]: what happens when the sec decides to start investigating us holders?
Chaang-Noi: and bfl fucks up hard and they get 40%....
[\\\]: Chaang-Noi, now you're just being stupid
mircea_popescu: at these prices market will be awash in real asics this year
[\\\]: Chaang-Noi, the sec doesn't have to go to china
[\\\]: ah right, because you're untouchable
[\\\]: is that why you were pissing your pants about your passthrough?
BitHub: yay for not being USA resident
Chaang-Noi: the sec is not realisticly going to fly to china or thailand or hack my wallet...
BitHub: you know they got cia agents there?
Chaang-Noi: sec might take down a glbse like exchange that asicminer is not involved with...
Chaang-Noi: cia right now is not after btc... mostly drugs
[\\\]: you're an expert on the cia now?
BitHub: i was in a country similar to thailand
Chaang-Noi: the agents here in thailand that i know are mostly involved in the drug trafficing stuff in the north
ThickAsThieves: cia, sec no one knows shit about what will happen in those regards
BitHub: some cia agents came and got the bodies

Chaang-Noi: i do find it odd bitinstant is down...
B0g4r7_: That's what I'm trying to find out. They've been down for days now.
B0g4r7_: "BitInstant.com is currently down due to site revisions." "We apologize for the downtime. BitInstant will be back online after the weekend."
B0g4r7_: I think this calls for a bet on whether they will resurface.
B0g4r7_: ...that someone else will write and post
B0g4r7_: ppl on btc-e are not happy.
B0g4r7_: not being able to get funds in.
JimRogers: 05-03-13 08:30 Yes 97`003 1.00000000 16fUs / 13rnD
JimRogers: i've placed multiple bets successfully
mircea_popescu: JimRogers now that's a good question. do you have autocomplete or anything else on the browser side messing up your bets ?
JimRogers: this one seemed to have gotten fucked up
mircea_popescu: a guy earlier had his browser autopick no whether he clicked yes or no
JimRogers: i have placed 9 wagers successfully
mircea_popescu: is the address wrong as in, not the one you intended to use or wrong as in, never seen it before ?
JimRogers: wrong, as in, no the "Send To" address i have used numerous times
Chaang-Noi: mp are you conected to that site in anyway other than a user?
mircea_popescu: Owner : Matic "kakobrekla" Kočevar and Mircea "mircea_popescu" Popescu
JimRogers: has anyone else had their bits go to a random Send To address
Chaang-Noi: i doubt mp scammed you, fucked up mabe...
JimRogers: thats not the address i entered into the Send To
JimRogers: write I'm done wit this fucking website scam
B0g4r7_: I only started using bitbet yesterday.
B0g4r7_: I guess I could check the send-to address if I were in front of that wallet.
mircea_popescu: incidentally! the address he paid his 1 btc to is 16fUs2yD4xLyxYy6863SMX3PP8Lw1xvZog
JimRogers: should i send some coin to the address and see if i get it?
mircea_popescu: the address the payout goes to (13rnDnrH8zBAkNpxXFEyphj3EFcvDKd9Ws) is there : 18.5851316787%
mircea_popescu: well, there's relation between the two addresses, it didn't pop out of randomness
JimRogers: i don't understand the taint analysis
JimRogers: what can i do to see if those funds will end up in one of my accounts
mircea_popescu: it looks through the blockchain to see if two addresses are related.
mircea_popescu: it's somewhat improbable the two addies got 8 txs in between themselves and yet they're totally unrelated.
JimRogers: i don't understand the second sentence
JimRogers: 13rnDnrH8zBAkNpxXFEyphj3EFcvDKd9Ws
mircea_popescu: the address you paid from, and the address that's listed as beneficiary
JimRogers: is the one the gay ass website says "send to"
assbot: [BTCTC] [BTC-TRADING-PT] 1 @ 0.1326 BTC [+]
assbot: [BTCTC] [BTC-TRADING-PT] 1 @ 0.13717 BTC [+]
kakobrekla: JimRogers: well, the only thing i can really say is you pasted an address (which you also say you did), bitbet did no further processing as in establishing the return address. what you pasted is in the db. whats in the db is on the site. but i can do one thing - add your payout destination notification at the last step if that would help to prevent any mistakes in the future.
assbot: [BTCTC] [BTC-TRADING-PT] 18 @ 0.1372 = 2.4696 BTC [+]
JimRogers: i sent a micropayment to that address

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 6 @ 0.59 = 3.54 BTC [+]
JimRogers: this fucking website is lacking serious functionality
B0g4r7_: Maybe you clicked on "send to originating address" accidentally and then clicked SUBMIT.
B0g4r7_: It would be nice if the "Send bitcoins to fund the bet" screen showed the chosen payout address.
JimRogers: this fucking website needs account history
JimRogers: i put the correct "Send To" address in
JimRogers: and then sent a bitcoin to the supplied addy
JimRogers: your website registered the bet, but put a different send to
mircea_popescu: JimRogers the problem here is this : you state what you did, but we have no way of knowing it's true or false
kakobrekla: 17:47.17 ( kakobrekla ) JimRogers: well, the only thing i can really say is you pasted an address (which you also say you did), bitbet did no further processing as in establishing the return address. what you posted is in the db. whats in the db is on the site. but i can do one thing - add your payout destination notification at the last step if that would help to prevent any mistakes
mircea_popescu: the two addresses are related, and you just declared you don't control the originating address
mircea_popescu: this is very difficult to resolve because it's basically no leads
JimRogers: your website put the wrong send to
Namworld: Why don't people check their inputs before submitting?
JimRogers: 1AKeAYxjfcdQeGMtKTma9gsRG2i1dgMxtN
B0g4r7_: Says you've left the channel.
B0g4r7_: Stop closing the window or whatever you're doing.
JimRogers: 1AKeAYxjfcdQeGMtKTma9gsRG2i1dgMxtN
JimRogers: was the bitcoin address i sent the money to
JimRogers: or set the send to to the right addy

JimRogers: 1AKeAYxjfcdQeGMtKTma9gsRG2i1dgMxtN
JimRogers: was the addy bit bet supplied as the bet destination address
JimRogers: seals with clubs sent 1 bitcoin to 1AKeAYxjfcdQeGMtKTma9gsRG2i1dgMxtN
JimRogers: the block chain doesn't recognize the transfer
B0g4r7_: So maybe you're seeing a bet that's not yours, and yours still is not confirmed?
JimRogers: seals claims to have sent last night
B0g4r7_: It took a while for my bets to confirm.
B0g4r7_: Take it up w/ Seals. If it's not in the blockchain, they didn't send.
B0g4r7_: In the future, I advise always sending from a local wallet.

B0g4r7_: Showing the payout address on the bet confirmation/funding screen would be nice to have.
B0g4r7_: Would help avoid mistakes.
B0g4r7_: That's good. If that can be reduced to 0.1, even better.
JimRogers: i have records of everything i have done
kakobrekla: with over 2k bets placed - yeah its preety good
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 9 @ 0.5815 = 5.2335 BTC [-]
B0g4r7_: Your mistake was in thinking the listed bet was yours.
JimRogers: or seals is claiming a cash out happened that never happened, coincidentally at the same timing and same amount as what i sent
B0g4r7_: 1.0 BTC is not exactly a unique bet amount.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 1 @ 0.5809 BTC [-]
kakobrekla: JimRogers if its not in a blockchain on the correct address
kakobrekla: also, if addy is not used in 24hrs is not active anymore
JimRogers: so you can confirm that 1AKeAYxjfcdQeGMtKTma9gsRG2i1dgMxtN
JimRogers: and seals claims to have sent it to that addy
mod6: yeah, 0 tx's for that address
JimRogers: 2013-03-04 23:31 1 BTC 1AKeAYxjfcdQeGMtKTma9gsRG2i1dgMxtN
JimRogers: and if i lose the money i won't fault you guys
JimRogers: but the site could still use much more functionality
JimRogers: and perhaps binary options, instead of this weird time weighting bullshit
B0g4r7_: Srsly, consider a local wallet. You should be using one anyway.
B0g4r7_: Colloquy on OS X huh. I use that at home and don't have that issue. I run version 2.3 tho, which I think is a lot different.
kakobrekla: so you have 3 days to send the bet in since the time you requested an address
kakobrekla: once first bet is in - addy is kept active until the bet is over

kakobrekla: but i will scan the blockchain to findout how much he is getting and take half.
jurov: lol... at least it should be added to dividends, like mpex mispayments
B0g4r7_: Earlier I made a whole new "bet", when I could have just sent more to the same address.
jurov: so i can add to a bet for someone else, causing confusion and else >:D
mircea_popescu: jurov you cause confusion mostly for yourself, bitbet will just pay him

ZedsterX: don't talk about mp's weighting
JimRogers: which time zone are the time stamps on the website?
jurov: and I'm sure someone will someday start betting site with binary futures
mod6: if it was binary would it just be like 50`000 per side?
jurov: kakobrekla, bit it isn't a bad ide to make the bets resellable
JimRogers: give me the money back someone stole
jurov: if you submit request with payout addy signature, you can chenge it
jurov: thus effectively selling the bet
B0g4r7_: Seems like an interesting idea.
mod6: wait, isn't the weighting just a time based thing -- so if you want to "sell your bet" to a third party, it still doesn't change the time when the wager was placed.
JimRogers: thats why this website is fucking gay
mircea_popescu: jurov i don't understand it tho. explain it to me like i'm JimRogers

mircea_popescu: well, the reasons bitbet does betting correctly, rather than what you propose, are discussed there.
JimRogers: not even reading all that bullshit as its too long
JimRogers: I'm not proposing changing ur ways
jurov: so you find someone who wants it, you'll sign the request with existing payout address
JimRogers: Binary Futures are thousands of years old
jurov: and submit it to bitbet with new payout address
mod6: you want him to change it, and you won't bother to read on how it works. clever.
jurov: so the bet will now pay to the buyer
JimRogers: first my money gets eaten by ur website
mircea_popescu: JimRogers when you're done being riught read the comments too
JimRogers: now u wanna ban me cuz i make as olid suggestion
mod6: you had some site payout to a different betting site... all bets are off, check with the sender as NOTHING is in the blockchain
mod6: kakobrekla tried to help you, now kindly stfu or change the attitude.
Namworld: The blockchain is public and everyone can clearly see no transaction was ever sent to your bet's address.
pigeons: no im waiting for them to use twitter bootstrap
pigeons: bootstrap shpould randomize defaults or something

blu3gr1ffon: that unknowns one has problems. simply because blockchain can't identify a pool and all of a sudden it's unknown.

Armed with knowledge of my place of birth and mother's maiden name alone (both facts easy to locate on the public record) they convinced Site5 staff to add their email ad
mircea_popescu: dress to the account and make it the primary login (this prevented us from deleting it from the account).
mircea_popescu: After changing this info and locking the attacker out, overnight he was able to revert my changes and point our website somewhere else. Site5 is denying any damages, but we suspect this was partly their fault.
pigeons: these hacks always coincide with "system maintenance"
mircea_popescu: a. this is why mpex model has to take over bitcoinworkd ;
mircea_popescu: b. fucking hell people need to learn to report. the good and the bad.

topace: bitcoin businesses just shouldnt host their sites in places like that... you need my iris scan to change anything on any of my accounts at the data center, and even if they had access t my account, they couldnt do anything with it, as the physical boxes belong to me and no settings can be changed from the datacenter admin staff without having my own system's root passwords

Ukto: being in HK I believe its highly illegal there too :)

Ukto: there are actual laws aginst eCurrencies in china/hk
pigeons: yeah explicitly illegal now
Ukto: china MUST maintain control.
jcpham: laws are always fun when they chnge
mircea_popescu: so wait. bitcoin is a. illegal in china ; b. on some senator's deathlist in the us ; c. sorta neutral in europe.
pigeons: its moral until Luke-Jr says its wrong
jcpham: laws that are moral and laws that are cultoral have different meaning to me
jcpham: china's new law is cultural and has nothing to do with morality
mircea_popescu: you know i can bringa pretty good set of arguments that rape is cultural not moral in this scheme

Ukto: financially or physically? :P

mircea_popescu: some places discriminate for the victim, some for the perpetrator
Ukto: and those countries usually hit the woman for cheating if married
kakobreklaaa: 21:51.52 ( mircea_popescu ) some even inssit they marry.
dub: Ukto: there was a case in dubai a while back where the wife/gf of a guy who cheated on her was jailed because she caught them having sex and three people in a room where sex is happening is a crime
mircea_popescu: that dumbass law btw is the reason i never went to dubai.
dub: yeah fuck that place
dub: the mandatory 4 years in jail for drugs thing.. when they don;t publish what drugs are illegal and frequently jail people carrying over the counter pharmacy drugs perfectly legal int eh country of origin
dub: oh you had a headache and bought ibuprofen with you? tough shit, see you in 4 years
pigeons: yes even if you are only stopping over on the plane en route to another country and never get out
pigeons: melatonin is the one that gets the press for leaving you in jail in dubai if you're travelling from Britain to australia and stop in dubia
pigeons: although if poppy seeds fall off your in-flight bagel onto your shirt you're jailed as well
pigeons: and don't forget their magic machines that can detect undetectable amounts of cannabis under the dirt clung to your shoes
mircea_popescu: the only upside is that they have two law tiers, which is nice (the us does too)

burnside: ours are more expensive because I had to secure a call option to get it started.

Chaang-Noi: atleast they only lost 1000 btc, could ahve been much much higher
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi there was recently a rash of small arms manufacturers refusing to deal with their rogue government there

dub: Namworld: I didn't know fees contributed to s.mpoe, its not just the options?
mircea_popescu: Revenue from sales fee : 187.80380028 BTC (Total trade : 93`901.90014227 BTC)
maximian: I think people know that mope is here to stay, but there's a lot of uncertainty around s.dice
maximian: and unfortunately, evoorhees is distracted with conferences and his other hobbies
mircea_popescu: maximian ironically enough s.mpoe shares were bought as low as 2k satoshi.
Namworld: no, fees, options, incorrect deposits, etc
Namworld: It's all of MPEx's income, really
mircea_popescu: ftr an incorrect deposit has yet to make it to shareholders. there was a grand total of like, 1 so far.
Namworld: good to know that people with enough BTC to trade on MPEx can manage not to screw up deposits.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, s.dice has so far paid ~50k satoshi per share in dividends to s.mpoe's ~2k
mircea_popescu: on a strictly dividend basis of accounting it's a huge gap.
mircea_popescu: course if you think about it, a corp that issues 10% divs a year is not automatically better than one that issues 3%
mircea_popescu: actually i'd be much surprised if the average retail investor could even tell you what dividend his portofolio paid
Namworld: Coca-Cola has low yearly yield.
maximian: not if everyone expects it to flame out early
Namworld: I think. Still great stock. Stable, very old company. Popular as ever.
mircea_popescu: maximian i guess maybe that's it, in spite of early explosive success people expect it to flame
Namworld: There's a few multinationals like that with low yield and high demand. Safety and stability are good to consider.
maximian: yep, high uncertainty over its future: can it maintain its market share, will evoorhees get arrested, etc
mircea_popescu: course there's another thing : on the strength of the book so far, s.mpoe could walk home with 20-30k btc.
mircea_popescu: on the strength of the action so far, s.dice is ahead what, 2k yet ?
maximian: s.dice not doing so well so far this month, but that's to be expected now and then
maximian: nobody had a problem back in november when s.dice paid zero
mircea_popescu: the immediate outlook. "shot at 20-30k with no downside" vs "not so great, maybe 2k, maybe negative"
mircea_popescu: maximian yeah but investor composition changed a lot, lots of pt holders,

maximian: evoorhees has to get cracking and start promoting this thing again!
maximian: It wasn't clear that he was talking about s.dice, but it would be nice if he's hinting at an acquisition or partnership

mircea_popescu: so a deal will prolly be a nice payout for btc shareholders.
maximian: tremendous mindshare/brand awareness for a bargain price of 19-20m
mircea_popescu: but i can see erik reasonably walking away from anything under 100mn total
maximian: yep, it's a possibility, and I believe he's the kind of guy who could pull it off.

mircea_popescu: no better way to showcase btc success than a successful exit for him.
Namworld: I think the current success would be shorting your BTC for USD
Namworld: Buy back later at a lower price
mircea_popescu: you can sell calls short which would be doing exactly that.
mircea_popescu: I think 67117 is proxy pool. The hash output is always simillar to SLUSH's. SLUSH has 2.6% rejection rate -they obviusly proxy pooling. Still not real proof of working ASIC.
mircea_popescu: anyone rthat understands mining, how sensible is that ?
mircea_popescu: specifically, how traceable is hashing based on the reject rate ?
Namworld: network hashing is estimated based on blocks found...
mircea_popescu: obviously i can set up a mining pool account and proxy other peoples mining there.
mircea_popescu: question is, can this be at all traced based on some qualities of the hash flux

mircea_popescu: what i got from the digest was, customer paid, provider shipped, insurance blew up.
Chaang-Noi: correct insurance was paid for but not recived
eeeCurrencyDotCo: Mircea, its' peter from eee - you sent me a link to chat with you here.
Chaang-Noi: if i send you a gold bar and tell you it is insured and you pay a fee for that, but it is not insured then its a scam
Chaang-Noi: it seems they did not insure the item in the correct way, coinibul fucked up
mircea_popescu: what do you mean correctly ? like they insured the wrong item or soemthing ?
Chaang-Noi: if i ship you a gold bar, but insure a taco... its a scam
Chaang-Noi: the insureance company said the item was not insured even thought coinibal did pay a fee
eeeCurrencyDotCo: :) (hi everybody) - I'm here for a specific reason, but I saw someone mention insurance. is there someone offering insurance on btc? I had ben contemplating getting my US license to offer to be an insurance broker and perhaps do somethng
mircea_popescu: if you give me a hundred bucks to give to mod6 for towing your car
Chaang-Noi: if i send you a car from thailand and insure it, but fine print says we dont insure cars whos fault is it?
mircea_popescu: haha that's ridiculous. so are they dropping that insurer now ?
Chaang-Noi: but mp i paid you a preiumuim to do the insurance for me...
Chaang-Noi: yes mp they did a differnt insurance company cuz turned out they did not have insurance
mod6: i would guess yah, just change insuance co's and that should set it right.
Chaang-Noi: but coinibul still fucked up, the buyer is not at fault here
Chaang-Noi: well, one guy is out of 80 btc worht of silver
eeeCurrencyDotCo: isn't the liability on the person with the implied or definitive contract?
mircea_popescu: i mean, these word against word things are difficult to break up
Chaang-Noi: they have tracking to priove buyer never got package
eeeCurrencyDotCo: if you contract with person a and bring person b in to it, isnt the contract with person a, not b?
mircea_popescu: so then wait. if package never arrived it's the post ?
Chaang-Noi: the coinibul was like sorry, silver not insured, fuck off
eeeCurrencyDotCo: ups just delivered a package today and left it with no sig - who should replace the loss? ups or the shipper?
Chaang-Noi: if there is insurance they need to cover it, but if it was sold as insured and not insured its a fucking scam
mircea_popescu: i guess this is why i am not in the business of delivering bullion to the retail postage market.
mircea_popescu: sucks for margins, sucks for operations, sucks all around.
Chaang-Noi: but jesus he willl destroy his rep for 80 btc saying he has no money to give the guy silver,,, how can he be so poor and be in btc that long...
mod6: well, who knows dude.
mircea_popescu: if he does this then he's going to have a rash of people trying it.
Chaang-Noi: the buyer has proof he never got the shit...
BitHub: i hope coinabul works it out :) seems like a good kind

doctor_pullfinge: I was not - not looking for a book, just has mp acknowledged anything
smickles: it's either that mircea's sex dungeon prisoners finally revolted, or use mpex.coinbr.com while mpex.co is down
smickles: mpex.coinbr.com is one of many proxies to the mpex backend, and since all you send is encrypted, it doesn't matter that you are sending info thru a third party

smickles: doctor_pullfinge: my stats are working tru mpex.coinbr.com
doctor_pullfinge: smickles - thanks - I feel better. Back to worrying about why s.dice is tanking.
smickles: and what do you mean 'a seat on the backend', if you have a connection to the backend which isn't a proxy, why are you worried about the other proxies?
BitHub: people sick of s.dice?
doctor_pullfinge: I paid the 30 btc for a seat directly on mpex. coin.br is a passthrough, so may be cacheing the info.
Ukto: i bought my sdice at or below 0.0044
smickles: doctor_pullfinge: i think you are a little confused here
Ukto: so im not that worried about it yet
doctor_pullfinge: I think the div was bigger in terms of USD, but mainly I think people spend x% of their USD based paycheck on s.dice. So, BTC dividend amount goes down
smickles: coinbr is a broker (passthru, whatever) mpex.coinbr.com is a proxy to the backend system which is mpex
Ukto: besides, JAH is a better deal atm. daily divs at 10% or something, plus compounded earnings from reinvestment
BitHub: yeah the jah shares are crazy Ukto
smickles: you can send a STATJSON or whatever you want through that proxy
BitHub: seems to be better than ASICMINER atm
Ukto: i think by 30 days of jah its like a 15%+ monthly profit
BitHub: yeah he got asicminer shares
Ukto: well worth over the .3
ThickAsThieves: random off-topic idea, skype and facebook should show squiggly underlines on mispelled words, could teach the masses so easily
BitHub: that's why div so good
smickles: ThickAsThieves: that's more of an OS issue, isn't it?
smickles: ThickAsThieves: I mean, nearly all text input fields on my compy do spelling correction
Ukto: btw, 6,345 asicminer shares confirmed by fridcat on G.ASICMINER-PT now
jurov: doctor_pullfinge, since pgp is used,coinbr has no way to tamper with your orders nor replies
Ukto: thats just the confirmed

Ukto: not including alot more pending in transit

Ukto: you play it for odds
doctor_pullfinge: I just went to coinbr and don't see any "last update" information. So I still think that could just be the last time that mpex was up.

blu3gr1ffon: I'm sending larger txn fees in the future.
BitHub: i might sell off some dice and buy up some jah instead
smickles: EskimoBob: how long of a history?
blu3gr1ffon: what's a good fee these days for sub 10 minute 6 confirmations?
jurov: doctor_pullfinge, since mpex didn't issue any statement, we don't have anything for an update

jcpham: The myopic are extrapolating the price trend of the past three months, which they deem is normal, and in so doing they exacerbate it to the upside, thus attracting even greater fools.

ThickAsThieves: "The U.S. dollar is an obvious Ponzi scheme," said Thomas, who thinks the U.S. government has too much debt to raise interest rates high enough to defend the dollar if there were ever a run on it. With Bitcoin, "you feel like you're in control of your money."

kakobrekla: beatles yesterdays goes through my mind when you do ;;goxlag

mircea_popescu: unbalanced in theory this is possible. however this theory tends to blow up in practice. it's no different from any attempt to corner a market, and those have historically ended up poorly.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, the mpoe bot book is limited. you can't get much more than 20k or so notional exposure per strike
mircea_popescu: with a lot of finesse you could construct synthetic positions of maybe 100k, but not 1mn and over.
mircea_popescu: moreover because all trade settles in btc on mpex that defacto sterilizes some currency too

jurov: [18:31] <arij> yea there is a massive amount of traffic hitting the node
mircea_popescu: CoinBr under maintenance/overhaul, should be available before March 8. Contact us on support()coinbr.com .
jurov: well, this is new server. the original one is not reachable
jurov: should it stay unreachable, i'll install everything there

mircea_popescu: i knew then that it's not the freaking government that'll be the issue on the midterm.
mod6: yeah, I might give out my second neg rating to Luke-Jr
mod6: all his nonsense about SD spamming the blockchain
mod6: and the fact that he published some mining code that breaks protocol and promotes it to other miners.
mircea_popescu: going out of your way to politically rate people... meh. not so much.
mod6: i dunno what to call it if I rate him down, but im tired of this shit.
mircea_popescu: what difference does it make to you tho ? there's going to be an onion in any soup
mircea_popescu: do you mind that it's called Luke-Jr or whatever else ?
mod6: i can't articulate myself enough -- im just against all his SD blockchain spamming bullshit
Luke-Jr: you'd rather see SD flood Bitcoin to death
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.
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr dude, still with this ? sd is the only thing happening on bitcoin, forget about it already.
error4733: if blockchain can't support SD now, what happen with 1M user ?
Luke-Jr: no, it's a mod6-is-a-troll issue
mircea_popescu: this wouldn't be by any chance related to the girl bitchslapping that hearn muppet earlier, would it ?
mod6: im not trolling shit motherfucker
Luke-Jr: error4733: 1M user with 1000 tx/sec is easier than 10 users with 1000 tx/sec
error4733: all bs, erik is right, better now than to late
mircea_popescu: 1M user with 1000 tx/sec is easier than 10 users with 1000 tx/sec <<< you can't even distinguish users apart.
Luke-Jr: error4733: 1mil users can provide infra for 1000 tx/sec; what we have today, no way
mircea_popescu: i can make 1mn txs right now, you won't be able to produce an accurate usercount.
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: it's easy. just go to #bitcoin and ask SD players to PM you.
mircea_popescu: hahaha, if you think retail users will run that braindamaged abomination called "the bitcoin client" you're off your rocker.
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: this sort of internecine bullshit may be appropriate in fringe churches of weird and other midwestern concerns
mircea_popescu: but it does not belong in technology. technology is for smart people.
Luke-Jr: I don't care who it is, if they flood the network it's miners' job to filter them out
mircea_popescu: you literally have no idea what you are talking about.
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: you'd better leave then
Luke-Jr: after all, technology is for smart people..

BTCTrader2: what are people using for cli? is it faster?
jurov: mircea_popescu , is there any place for mpex chinese/pakistani users to inquiry about the outage?
jurov: one dude came and seemd completely out of his mind
jurov: yes. he's gone now.
mircea_popescu: awww that poor dude was sending me crazed messages too.
mircea_popescu: but to sum up the situation, cause i imagine many people are curious :
mircea_popescu: mpex consists of a trade server and webservers which the users talk to.
mircea_popescu: if you look at it practically these webservers are practically proxies.
mircea_popescu: there is five of them sharing two gigabit uplinks through a balancer.
mircea_popescu: the first time mpex was ddosed in january the attack took out the actual datacenter top level router.
mircea_popescu: there were two more layers of routing to get to the router that handled the webservers.
mircea_popescu: now, the reason admittedly was that the thing was a little old and kidna loaded. but still.
mircea_popescu: so at that time i split the tubes up north/east, and started a bunch of proxies
mircea_popescu: since the attack started yesterday a total of 100+ of these were taken offline.
mircea_popescu: granted, it's not easy to blow up a small shared setup like that.
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: the thing with that system is that it works by division. if there's 100 of them there jurov can stay online.
mircea_popescu: if there's 9 left the remainder ddos is available to hit him
mircea_popescu: i could allow anyone to start a proxy right now, the trade server is fine, etc. the problem is
mircea_popescu: you'd be nuked in half an hour or something, and it's just hassle.
mircea_popescu: now, a humongo 10gb dedicated solution is being set up as we speak
mircea_popescu: i had this sort-of prepared, but not actually provisioned and ready because the shit is expensive
imsaguy: so you're having more babies to win the war?
mircea_popescu: imsaguy the alternative is handle mpex trades by email.
Diablo-D3: email, the original next generation mail queue
imsaguy: how about mpex trades via telnet?
Diablo-D3: I wonder if that makes uunet the original original message queue
mircea_popescu: (and i don't think they have enough to cope, but maybe)
Diablo-D3: I could name a box "chicks" and name a user "i"
mircea_popescu: imsaguy yeah. last i talked to nanotube he was like "i don't want this in production handling opm"
imsaguy: I'm not saying graft onto gribble
imsaguy: and then the bot filters anything not formed as url
imsaguy: second line is it only parses text
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: dude, just use perl
mircea_popescu: all you have to do is take urls from people and feed them into server as pgp strings
imsaguy: the code for reading pastebin to gpg
jurov: waitwhat? ppl will publish urls to encrypted orders on irc to be picked up by mpoe bot?
jurov: lol you should accept clearsigned orders, too, then.
Chilca: mircea_popescu: Can I help you guys with the infrastructure for the site?
wiggzz: so coinbr and mpex are down?
wiggzz: ok. no worries, thanks
Chilca: mircea_popescu: are you having a DDOS attack? what's the problem.
mircea_popescu: yes. read up the chat i just explained it 5 minutes ago
Chilca: I just joined. Pastebin will be great
mod6: Any paste or usage pattern not related to that goal which results in unusually high traffic will be flagged for investigation.
mod6: this could become a problem
mod6: as well, is it a good idea to store everyones cyphertexts indefinately?
jcpham: yes thank you my vps is fubar
mircea_popescu: but if someone breaks pgp in 2049, what do they get ? a lot of BUY|S.BLABLA|350|45000 ?
mod6: yea. i just figure maybe having our asses hanging in the breeze is a great oppertunity for the NSA to try to extract data on a sort of chosen cypertext attack
imsaguy: that why you expire the pastebin
imsaguy: it only needs to live for <10 minutes
mircea_popescu: mod6 listen, the pastebins would be encrypted with mpex key
mod6: ok imsaguy, that should work
mircea_popescu: you can take a string and encrypt it with mpex key right now
jurov: jcpham, now imagine they could have started resolving it 6 hours earlier
jurov: if namworld was able to remember that coinbr in on bitvps
mircea_popescu: and contrary to what everyone thinks, great ideas also need sane management to get anywhere.
jurov: mircea i'm speaking about bitvps to jcpham
jurov: can't get over it... namworld said "o mpex.coinbr.com has problems, prolly ddos" and he went to sleep
jcpham: my opinion of switzerland is that it is not for critical stuff
jurov: despite i did tell him it's to be expected
mod6: im not even sure I ever noticed the pastebin expire time lol
Chilca: do you guys have a firewall on top the servers?
mod6: this is a pretty sweet idea tho imsaguy
imsaguy: mod6, I'm pretty stupid, most of the time
imsaguy: but the rest of the time, I try to make up for it.
Chilca: imsaguy: In my company we use radware to stop ddos.
Chilca: I can talk with the CEO and he can ship one to your dc if you want.
imsaguy: its hosted out of his bedroom
mircea_popescu: in the middle of installing gear so might not be the best time
imsaguy: I doubt you want in that dungeon

nanotube: mircea_popescu: should be pretty trivial to set up an irc bot that just takes user input and passes it along to your server. if you set it up with a cloak, attackers can't even know its ip.
nanotube: so they'd have to take down all of freenode.
nanotube: and if you use gribble/supy as base, it by default limits number of commands per user per time, so they can't even flood it out.
jurov: nanotube, imsaguy is on it
nanotube: imsaguy: heh well, just have it take a pastebin link, and pass it along to mpex.
imsaguy: but then mpex passes pgp back :p
nanotube: well, mpex passes back another pastebin link
nanotube: but there are so many pastebins out there, you can easily cycle among them
nanotube: some provide apis for pasting. like paste.debian
mircea_popescu: this of course has no bearing on the new pipe coming online.
nanotube: mircea_popescu: make sure to have the bot communicate with another secret proxy, not core server. so if bot is cracked open, they only discover one of your proxies, not real location.
dub: pastebin.com was hosed yesterday
nanotube: also, another option, mircea_popescu : set up an amazon ec instance. they give you unlimited BW, only care about disk and cpu usage.
nanotube: so if all it does is take requests and pass them on
imsaguy: the cpu can get costly if its being bogged
jurov: amazon ec, exactly what i'm doing. cool shit.

deadweasel: mircea_popescu: keep your friends close... might want to sort out who/what this was
mircea_popescu: understand : this was planned for. sooner or later someone was going to attack mpex.
deadweasel: i can tell, fuckin' Rick James up in here
mircea_popescu: proving that mpex can't be effectually attacked is part of the game
jurov: deadweasel, how would you do it? it can be half of btctalk
jborkl: Hell, anyone not expecting this attack at some point was not paying attention
mircea_popescu: jborkl the only disputer was, "will it be government or not"
mircea_popescu: just the fact that traders could close > 50k btc worth of option positions normally whiole mpex was being ddosed to hell
jborkl: yeah, a few months ago Bank of America got ddos for I think 3 days
mircea_popescu: that the bot later was w/o a feed cause mtgox went bananas is a diff story
deadweasel: it was interesting to watch people show up here, get a proxy addy, then go trade.
deadweasel: they were all jibberred up, then like, ok, i'm ok now.
jborkl: this was a really good test for MPEX
deadweasel: there are no problems, only opportunities
mircea_popescu: yeah, sure, i'm not keeping 10k worth of pipe as a hot and ready to go backup, i admit
mjr_: ugh, the discussion on the forums is so fucking silly
mjr_: its like they don't understand what "free market" means
mjr_: i literally saw someone say "sdice actually gets the gambler to pay MORE fees, they should be banned"
mircea_popescu: some people were on a kick of "bitbet should charge less"
jborkl: 99% of all people are retarded
mjr_: yes, because the miners should get less money? not to mention the fact that it's about people enjoying and using bitcoins...so you will take away a popular service to further your cause?
jcpham: somewhere between the two "e" in free market, there is tiny subscript begging for gubment oversight
dub: mjr_: they're probably arguing the wrong thing but factually SD using the blockchain for accountign is retarded
mircea_popescu: dub mpex uses the blockchain for accounting a different way.
mjr_: dub: if they include fees fuck what they use it for
dub: mjr_: sanest comparison I've seen was from this channel, imagine a casine where you had to cash out and back in after every bet
mjr_: yep it is only transactions
mjr_: although i can see your point about cashing in and out...
mjr_: and i think it is a good image
mircea_popescu: the reason you cash out after every bet is that there's no "you"
mjr_: i would think of it as...does the casino not calculate your payout after each hand?
mjr_: you put money in, and then they push money back at you
mircea_popescu: thinking in terms of "you" and pretending to be involved in bitcoin is the ultimate lulz.
mjr_: mircea: to be fair, i don't think that the protocol EXCLUDES the use of a layer on top of it that could replicate "accounts"...
dub: the blockchain is not intented for this level of nanotransactions
mjr_: yes, that makes sense
dub: if you had to pay for every grain of rice you bought individually with a CC, amex would crumble too
mircea_popescu: the day we go in the marketplace with a workable solution that would crtumble amex
jborkl: Who said the blockchain is only for a certain transaction?
mjr_: dub: i feel that what they are saying is that "the blockchain shouldn't be used for individual grains of rice, so no rice for anyone"
mircea_popescu: moreover, who the fuck said what the blockchain is for ?
jborkl: who decided this nonsense
mircea_popescu: as long as it's useful for something, that's what it's for.
mjr_: it is like the internet
dub: making it take up an unrealistic amount fo resource is goign to break it
jborkl: then those people will quit
mircea_popescu: dub the only thing that's going to break it is pseudo-governmental posturing.
mjr_: what is the internet "designed" for? so university professors could share scholarly work
dub: driving fees up to counter the problem is goign to kill adoption
mircea_popescu: nobody has license to come out with the sort of bullshit "shoulds"
mircea_popescu: the only shoulds here are the devs should stfu and fix bitcoind.
dub: mjr_: yes and 'the internet' has fundamentally changed a few times to cope with scaling
mjr_: i think that there is what IS...what the market has decided
mjr_: dub: as will bitcoin
jborkl: dub are you Luke? cause this sounds like his stupid logic
mircea_popescu: jborkl i think he's trying to make sense of that position.
mjr_: think about it this way
jborkl: only biblethumperrs can use bitcoin
jcpham: pretty sure dub and Luke-Jr are same person
mjr_: there is nothing stopping miners to band together and block whatever traffic they want to
mjr_: so if it is so important, they will
jcpham: how did you figure it out mircea_popescu
dub: mjr_: yes there is, economic incentive
mjr_: exactly, the free market has decided that sdice is a good thing
dub: there is no such thing as free market
mjr_: there are all our individual choices
jcpham: implying no such thing as free will
dub: to have a free market you need informed players
mjr_: the point is that no one can say "i want to shape the future of bitcoin"
mjr_: you just need players
mjr_: that is like saying "in natural selection you can only have fast deer"
jborkl: That is fucking stupid to say, you only need participants
jcpham: the only free market i know of is freicoin
dub: we know from the abject failure of capitalism that there are not enough informed players to make it work
mircea_popescu: dub the only reason capitalism failed was because idiots with "should" abandoned it
mjr_: obviously america has not gotten a stranglehold over the world
mjr_: it hasn't worked for them AT ALL
mircea_popescu: the soviet union, the united soviets of america, the blabla
mircea_popescu: as long as people submit to natural law the take over the world.
jborkl: you cant inflate bitcon 10 million percent now can you
dub: mjr_: its not scaling
jcpham: i'm pretty sure the united nations is an illuminati sect
mircea_popescu: as soon as they start thinking they know what *should* be what
mjr_: for anyone to say that the people who came up with this system didn't get what they want is retarded
mjr_: that is the point, if what you think "should" happen, then if it really should, it will...if it shouldn't it won't
jcpham: Kim Dotcom is Satoshi Nakamoto in .... Point Break
mjr_: because if the majority agree...they do it, if they don't, you were wrong
dub: the majority don't agree
dub: the majority are not capable of participating
jborkl: the majority with money agree, the rest dont count
mjr_: um...the fact that sdice transactions are included begs to differ
dub: because they are stupid
dub: the are included now sure
mjr_: they verify the transactions
mircea_popescu: <jborkl> the majority with money agree, the rest dont count << this guy is mircea_popescu
mjr_: so if the market decides to stop then they are right
dub: the market wont decide to stop because teh mining 'market' is not informed
dub: this has been shown plenty of times
mjr_: ok...so it is not important to them to stop this
dub: it will take a technical probelm to change them
dub: which is hwat is happening
mjr_: ok, so let one come, and then they will adjust
mjr_: transactions still working
dub: sure if you accept that 6 confs doesnt take an hour anymore
mircea_popescu: "the poor aren't voting to steal from the rich because they've not been sufficiently explaining the benefits of theft"
mjr_: seriously, why does everyone feel the need to nurture something that is bigger than them and smarter
dub: bitcoin adoption as a whole may not accept that
jcpham: is atlas in here right now
jcpham: is that what just happened
mjr_: my point is that everyone votes with their mining power
dub: were people asleep yesterday?
dub: did you notice it took all day to send coin?
jborkl: only one person filters SD transactions that I know of, and his pool is dying
jcpham: dub i got my txns in before noon central
jborkl: His point of view caused that
mircea_popescu: this incidentallty shows clearly how misplaced all the sd trolling is.
dub: mircea_popescu: they raised their fee, pushing all their usually slow confirming txn to the front of the queue
mircea_popescu: the network works fine with sd. what it doesn't work fine with is the appalingly poor quality of coding
jborkl: The new bitcoin client .8, uses all cpu cores correct- where .7 only used one?
dub: mircea_popescu: it was teh tipping point for block size limit
jborkl: so, as people upgrade clients- transactions get passed faster
mircea_popescu: dub for the arbitrarily stupid 250k block limit baked in
mircea_popescu: by the sort of idiots that also broke the way bitcoind creates txns
dub: ok so we're back to the scaling argument
jborkl: I changed my client to 500, it took like 5 seconds
mircea_popescu: most of the people who had bitcoin for no reason are out, thanks to pirate and the other scasmmers
mjr__: anyways, i just am tired of hearing about what people "should" do
mircea_popescu: the problem is most of the people who think they're devs for no reason aren;t out yet.
mircea_popescu: people like gmaxwell, hearn, luke etc are just dead weight
dub: that is very much part of the problem
mjr__: i don't think they are stupid necessarily
dub: but is it easier to replace teh dev team or get SD to implement their own ledger
mjr__: i just think they are used to systems where they are in charge
jborkl: you are trying to control one thing, what aboput the next thing
mjr__: i am just saying, if you have the mining hardware, then your thoughts on this (actually your actions) may matter...no one else's opinion really does
dub: mjr__: I'm not suggesting miners will exclude SD
mjr__: i take it you don't like the Soft BP?
mjr__: I am just tired of hearing about how bad sdice is
mjr__: let's see...provided successful model for crowdsourcing anonymously? check
dub: and romantic ideals aside, this is really just a question of, will the everyman use bitcoin if its p2p'ness goes away
mjr__: gave a lot of publicity to bitcoin? check
mjr__: brought in users? check
dub: personally I think the problem will be solved differently
dub: but there is a scaling problem due to SD, you can't argue against that
mircea_popescu: then again every practical use of prototype code will expose bad code
mircea_popescu: the idea is to take the correct dev attitude "o sorry we eat c0x. working to fix"
mircea_popescu: rather than the incorrect dev attitude of "so don't do that!"
mjr__: mt gox finally got their websockets back up
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO)
mjr__: !ticker mpoe s.dice
assbot: The round stones beneath the earth... have spoken through the fire.
assbot: You cannot stop the clouds by the building of a ship.
assbot: Um, shouldn't you be with your own tribe or somethin'?
mircea_popescu: the correct syntax is !ticker m s.mpoe, but assbot is not talking to mpex atm.
assbot: Ah, your hair. Your hair is soft. It's like a girl's. Now how do you get it that way?
dub: mircea_popescu: so in a free market world, you should be joining the foundation, lobbying for and funding your own devs to correct the problem
mjr__: if it was worth his time or if he found it worthwihle
dub: its not like it would be unwelcome, gavin has tried to get rid of luke before
mjr__: that is the whole point of the free market, everyone does what they want
FabianB: finding good devs is not easy
mircea_popescu: if they don't follow i'm going to start my own devteam and fork bitcoin.
dub: well do that then but its chosing the harder option
mircea_popescu: the miners, the larger ones anyway, will be starting their own clients
dub: right, so much like we won't have teh market you percieve as free for much longer, bitcoin will stop working
dub: yes that is the opnly option
dub: stop carign about peoples wish for decentralisation and low fees
mircea_popescu: there's no room for the entitled poor in the new world.
dub: its still kinda one of teh selling points
dub: and with centralisation you extinguish the last facade of anonynimity
dub: so you're gettign back to being a credit card
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu. more hardline than stalin. just... the other direction.
mircea_popescu: it never existed to begin with. pseudonimity however is just as 100% as it always was.
dub: we're not talkign about now
mircea_popescu: in my estimation, asic mining wll be a lot more decentralised than gpu mining
mircea_popescu: people like gigavps, amazingrando, hashking et all had a disproportionate share of power in the ecosystem
mircea_popescu: it was based on the shaky foundation of marginal personal ability, cause running a gpu farm is a logistic nightmare.
mircea_popescu: it did use the cheap "anyone can run a gpu" fud tactic, but in fact it was as centralised as it can get.
mircea_popescu: anyone can run an asic. so... que the end of that system.
dub: not once teh generational change has completed
mircea_popescu: it will be a case of "he who has 1000 bucks gets a vote"
mircea_popescu: instead of "he who has 200 dollars and spends his time f5-ing amazon and knows how to make fire hazard pics in his basement"
dub: you think mining will be more distributed with higher cost to play?
dub: or more solo miners?
dub: mining has been centralised since pools appeared
mircea_popescu: before the cost to play was, 200 bucks + 5k worth of computer competence.
mircea_popescu: it's just some people don't know how to account, and so the 5k "is free"
mircea_popescu: there are at least 100mn people in this world who can spend 1k dollars.
mircea_popescu: there are MAYBE 1mn people in this world who have the skills to run gpu rigs but do not have gainful employment
miscreanity: asics are plug and play - gpus required a considerable amount of experise and se to manage
mircea_popescu: unsuirprisingly, they;'re mostly mental deffecrtive / weird / marginal doods.
mircea_popescu: so our miner putative market increased by a factor of 10k%
deadweasel: I think we can all agree that the continued eating of c0x by all users/miners/devs will improve bitcoin or it's bastard children.
dub: it sounds like youa re arguing that like gamers mining on their 1-2 gpus, a lot of randoms will decide to grab an asic and mine
dub: reality is asic mining will centralise much more than gpu mining did
mircea_popescu: i am arguing that for every wanna-break the world kid / bank clerk who thinks he's a banker / duimbass kid who thinks writing "options" on a webpage makes him an options trader
dub: as soon as diff normalises its the same game
mircea_popescu: dub no because the cost to be the top dog will have went from own 500 items worth 200 each
dub: either eek out a tiny margin on your gaming rig/hobby asic or go large
jborkl: instead of "he who has 200 dollars and spends his time f5-ing amazon and knows how to make fire hazard pics in his basement <LOL
jurov: yes the debpth (bottom graph) is wtf in firefox. but in konqueror+webkit it's fine
mircea_popescu: and if you think people won't be buying asics at 1k a pop, let me tell you something :
mircea_popescu: when that hungarian scammer showed up it he was checked out the next day
mircea_popescu: there is demand. come out with an inventory of asics you will sell 10-100k units in a month if you can actuyally deliver them.
gribble: Error: "burnside" is not a valid command.
gribble: burnside was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 22 hours, and 30 seconds ago: <burnside> I don't think so.
dub: mircea_popescu: exactly the same thing will happen as happened with gpu
ZedsterX: i have been given a free scam lightning miner 4.0 unit
jborkl: people that know what to do with them made money?
dub: when people get sick of the heat, noise and earning $2/week they will get out
dub: which will leave people who are doign ot as a business
kakobrekla: funny, 100mhash revenue in euro dollars is same as 1 year ago give or take
dub: <mircea_popescu> when that hungarian scammer showed up it he was checked out the next day
jcpham: i've been debating whether or not to run more gpu/more fpga every day
dub: I don't need to tell you that the only people who checked it out are serious miners
jcpham: i'd really like to acquire 3x singles
dub: a few extra mindless forum babies does not a decentralised verification network make
mircea_popescu: think about it : i am going to get a mining cluster which i will run for purely strategic reasons
mircea_popescu: mpex needs assurance that idiots like luke-jr stay irrelevant.
mircea_popescu: so will pretty much every single service built on top of bitcoin
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [HIM] 5 @ 1.45 = 7.25 BTC [+]
dub: if you got into mining you it would not be with one asic
mircea_popescu: dub i can calculate how many asics i need to have in order to guarantee my payments make it witin an arbitrary timeframe
dub: yes which is beyond 90% of would be miners
jcpham: strategic mining is a subject i like
mircea_popescu: jcpham i bet you in 2013 we will have special mining software allowing miner to issue orders much like ip routing tables
mircea_popescu: there will be a dedicated box preparing the mempool for mine rigs in most farms
dub: so every bitcoin merchant has a mining farm to confirm its txn
dub: hell, why not an altchain each
jcpham: i'm getting hella paid leasing my rigs then
mircea_popescu: dub if bitcoin fucks up you bet your sweet life an altchain each.
jcpham: mining cooperatives are an excellent idea
mircea_popescu: the girl hinted as much at some point arguing with the hearn&co idiot parade.
jcpham: even though everyone hates on it
mircea_popescu: soon enough there will be a market for mempool gatway rules.
dub: yeah, you just invented fiat
mircea_popescu: suddenly yet another reason for 1Fx3N5iFPDQxUKhhmDJqCMmi3U8Y7gSncx emerges.
mircea_popescu: it will be a LOT easier to handle those issues with fixed addies
dub: you realise that your anonymity model is bunk when you only connect to nodes you transact with
BingoBongo: So this got Hearn's panties in a bunch even though he does so much work with SPV clients?
mjr__: mircea, how can i get quotes right now?
mircea_popescu: mjr__ right now you can't. what are you trying to do ?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [HIM] 20 @ 1.45 = 29 BTC [+]
assbot: [BTCTC] [BTC-BOND] 1 @ 0.00999 BTC [+]
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [HIM] 2 @ 1.45 = 2.9 BTC [+]
BingoBongo: I could see getting pissed about colored coins or the dude who put and MP3 on testnet trying that on the real blockchain, but miners filtering transactions? Gavin reccommends conf settings for miners.
mircea_popescu: and honestly i think colored coins are a horrible nonstarter. i can only imagine the sort of crap that'd occur if they caught on
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [HIM] 6 @ 1.45 = 8.7 BTC [+]
mjr__: mircea: just wanted to see where my positions were at
mircea_popescu: mjr__ trade is practgically frozen so nothing much would have changed.
mircea_popescu: that;s kinda it, i could have come up with a pure vpn solution
mircea_popescu: and only allow trusted people on the network to talk to the exchange
mircea_popescu: however, i judged that'd create a haves/havesnot disparity that's both huge and sudden
mircea_popescu: better and fairer just freeze things for a little bit.
mjr__: i like the protected message open channel
mircea_popescu: but to expand on the plan : as an absolute rock bottom if things can't be otherwise resolved within a week, i will publish a gmail address, and trade will work via email (you email your paste instead of putting into site, you get it back)
mjr__: out of curiosity and i haven't really thought this all the way through
mircea_popescu: as a relative rock bottom, if things can't be otherwise resolved within a couple of days i will have a vpn installed. this has the disadvantage that it puts the brokers in an iffy spot
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [HIM] 2 @ 1.55 = 3.1 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: also, we are currently working on using irc bot much like gribble works. there should be one up soon and another during weekend.
mjr__: would a recaptcha and session timeout not solve most of it?
mircea_popescu: and also, much larger infrastructure should be coming online during the 8th.
mircea_popescu: it would solve nothing at all. routers are getting friend, not boxes.
mjr__: and i'm sure that they are randomizing the addresses enough to bypass any sort of blacklist rirght?
mjr__: and CDN couldn't fix either?
mircea_popescu: cdn doesn't do this. there are ddos protection services out there, but all have their own issues
mjr__: i'm sure you have thought this through
mjr__: i was just curious for my own benefit
mjr__: as to how one combats this
mjr__: i'm really fine regardless
mircea_popescu: cloudflare is very cheap (like200 a month) but it's mostly intended for random kid dickery.
mjr__: this is quite sustained
BingoBongo: Cloudflare goes down enough on its own
mircea_popescu: blacklotus is expensive, and i have yet to locate anyone that can give me the straight dope about what they actually do./
mjr__: hmmm, and since it is routers not boxes, proxies won't really help?
mircea_popescu: mjr__ proxies help in the exact sort of way i had it set-up : open web proxy which connects on a sort of private vpn to mpex webservers
mircea_popescu: but the thing is, they actually took the time to blow up all these.
mjr__: hmmm, i have a little idea
mjr__: and would depend on what router capabilities
mjr__: and whether you have control/access to it
gribble: BTCUSD ticker | Best bid: 42.72301, Best ask: 42.84000, Bid-ask spread: 0.11699, Last trade: 42.72301, 24 hour volume: 162226.99314014, 24 hour low: 33.30000, 24 hour high: 46.74900, 24 hour vwap: 41.19641
assbot: It says some pelt-wearin' trapper, some stinkin' bean-suckin' possum skinner, he's gonna collect that reward money.
mjr__: i'm wondering if you could basically require a signed message in the
http header request to get to the webserver
mjr__: ie. the router would drop all traffic that did not contain the signed header
Lyspooner: my sentiment is that the options aren't there right now
mjr__: hmm couldn't you conceivably use QoS to give
http traffic priority on the router
dub: not if the router is on fire

mircea_popescu: mjr__ understand, the box was doing something like 0.07 load all through the ddos.
mircea_popescu: a. a lot of calls closed up past 24 hours. those don't count.
mircea_popescu: b. a lot of longass short puts were closed, which does count
mircea_popescu: but it counts from way up, so it makes the put side kinda high too
BingoBongo: Mircea, maybe you should tweet @binarybits about this interesting bitcoin story he could run on Ars... Any publicity is good publicity...
dub: im not sure 'we had to close doors due to ddos' is great publicity
dub: and singing of imminent mitigation may be premature
BingoBongo: Gox is alive after all of those Haxxed stories
mircea_popescu: i think there's enough presence to keep the stakeholders appraised.
dub: gox is alive because nobody has mannned up to replace it
jcpham: send a cryptic email explaining how the hot wallet backup was unencrypted and accesible via telnet
dub: nobody is a willing user of gox
mircea_popescu: jcpham i think someone might have noticed that mpex didn't answer on 23
jcpham: you should make aup along crytpic convoluted story
jcpham: involving backups and password in source codes
jcpham: make the story long enough and people will stop caring about halfway through reading
jcpham: they'll just figure it's another scam
dub: you could use nntp tbh
jcpham: then add the word "Psyche" at the end.
mircea_popescu: dub i was more considering that guy's bitmessage p2p thing
dub: google groups can probably take teh dos
dub: heh, I've been ddos'd ~700 times in teh last month
dub: acording to arbor anyway, I don't recall noticing any of them
mircea_popescu: that's kind of the problem, very chinese market out there. "yes sir i tell you we do ddosprotection"
mircea_popescu: "o wait, you mean ddos as in, 6-7 gb sustained with 20gb peaks ?! OMG TAKE A HIKE"
dub: its a racket for sure
Lyspooner: well at least satoshi was considering very big block sizes
mircea_popescu: financial networks, with the financial collapse ensuing
mircea_popescu: from the most recent attack still under way as I write
mircea_popescu: Government sponsored enterprises enter the business, in
mircea_popescu: due course bad behavior is made mandatory, and the evil
mircea_popescu: network, with the result that even though everyone knows
mircea_popescu: issued by the evil financial network, because of network

mod6: that seems much more realistic.
mod6: i should have examined that closer
jborkl: Mp, what about using bitcoin to send the trade message to your address. cant ddos the entire network, put the encypted message inside a signed transactions- use it just like SD does
mircea_popescu: jborkl " cant ddos the entire network" << o but they can.
jborkl: well, it would be much harder
mircea_popescu: it would be painful, especially if they go after nodes one at a time
dub: yeah, tell that to dalnet
jborkl: yes, if they tracked your first relay and knocked it off, then next one
jborkl: but you can change your relay in bitcoind easily
dub: but I support this move, if only to see the rage from Luke-Jr
jborkl: and you could build trusted relay nodes to push transactions
jborkl: lol, that would piss him off so bad
mircea_popescu: jborkl what i'd do is cause a lot of grief to people otherwise ill equipped to cope.
mircea_popescu: im not here to cause trouble, contrary to what you might have heard.
mircea_popescu: i'll be bringing more capacity online and that's that.
BingoBongo: I heard PrimeAsic, that 99% chance of scam is responsive to inquiries again...
jborkl: If you were a asshole scammer, you would probably run off with Nefario, Piratits, and the list goes on. I am not concerned if you are a asshole, that is not my problem

jurov: yes, dispalyes quickly
Eduard_Munteanu: Some #mtgox op told me they've banned most of my provider (RDS).
mircea_popescu: i think more than just mpex, tis a test for bitcoins in general.

jurov: you didn't understand me.. i can now vanish with all customers funds
mircea_popescu: anyway, par for the course for "hosting" out there : sure we can do it sir! o you mean things actually need to be done ? sorry, pls go to somewhere else.
jurov: as so many ppl did
mircea_popescu: if you ask them they're hosting corps, offer things like unlimited bw.
mircea_popescu: tghen if you serve 500 pages in a day it's suddenly... we're only hosters if you don't get traffic.
jurov: and if you attract ddos, you must apologize.
mircea_popescu: anyway, their upstream/colo host prolly told them to not do it again or else get a real connection
jurov: but yeah, I do have recent enough coinbr backups and am not running away.
jurov: dunno if i should make me killer coffee and set it up or it can wait till tomorrow
jurov: mircea_popescu, how it looks on your side?
mircea_popescu: should be getting everything online today technically since it's almost 1am
mircea_popescu: but maybe get an account with a good ddos protected host.
mircea_popescu: because i tell you something, when they won't be able to take me down they'll harass you
mircea_popescu: and you have a much larger userbase crossection, you'll read plenty of shit in the forum
jurov: i know... hope i bought some time with amazon, plan to set up some load balancing there quickly

Namworld: But you'll see there's an updating message.
Namworld: Why would price madly like that and stay like that?
jcpham: i'm gona have to say bitcoin
Namworld: Wrong answer... that's the answer to why it raised, not why it would stay like that.
BingoBongo: You'd be surprised Namworld the things that Dunning-Kruger can explain. It's like the new Goodwin, but for the Slate crowd.
Namworld: What does Dunning-Kruger has to do with it?
Namworld: Everyone thinks they're skilled because they buy BTC higher and higher because it keeps going higher and higher?
BingoBongo: It's why we could hit 10,000. Coinlab biting off more than they can chew and somehow instead of a flash crash we get a flash rally when they are hacked. Also yes your second point.
BingoBongo: A combination of the two could probably make a new normal though.
Chilca: thanks, is there any status of the DDOS?
Namworld: I bet after it all settles, people who kept buying will be apoplectic with explanations and sound just like people after the dotcom bubble...

reddddd: CoinBr also seems to have a twitter account that could have used an update. There are so many better ways to let customers know what the hell is going on than just IRC.

mircea_popescu: "Pimples can be treated by various acne medications prescribed by a dermatologist, or purchased at a drug store with a wide variety of treatments."
BingoBongo: You know medicine is fucked when leukemia is easier to treat than pimples.
mircea_popescu: you know, back 300 years ago when the encyclopedists came up with the first one, it was a monument of erudition
Diablo-D3: modern medicine refuses to accept the treatment because they can't charge obscene amounts of money for it
Diablo-D3: take high doses of omega 6 for the rest of your life.
BingoBongo: My french isn't good enough to make an informed opinion on Diderot's
Diablo-D3: not only does it cure pimples, it cures and lessens lots of other things
BingoBongo: Leukemia is easy to treat too. Eat a bunch of methotrexate and live.
Diablo-D3: through in 5000 IU of vitamin D daily, and you'll probably add another ten years to your life

BitHub: almost time for teh weekend
mircea_popescu: Ce qu'on appelle bonheur, est une idée abstraite, composée de quelques idées de plaisir ; car qui n'a qu'un moment de plaisir n'est point un homme heureux ; de même qu'un moment de douleur ne fait point un homme malheureux. Le plaisir est plus rapide que le bonheur, & le bonheur plus passager que la félicité. Quand on dit je suis heureux dans ce moment, on abuse du mot, & cela ne veut dire que j'ai du plaisir : q
mircea_popescu: uand on a des plaisirs un peu répétés, on peut dans cet espace de tems se dire heureux ; quand ce bonheur dure un peu plus, c'est un état de félicité ; on est quelquefois bien loin d'être heureux dans la prospérité, comme un malade dégoûté ne mange rien d'un grand festin préparé pour lui.
BingoBongo: mircea_popescu it isn't that unlike James
BitHub: mircea coming to australia this weekend?
BingoBongo: William James, one of maybe three Americans introspective enough about the pecuiar brand of manic misery here to approach a reasonble target for a philosopher
BitHub: where the bloody hell are ya
BitHub: lets go visit kimdotcom i'm bored
mircea_popescu: call the bank ready to bite their head off for being idiots
BitHub: seems odd when someone else says it
BitHub: being a bunch of cunty's?
mircea_popescu: i mean, bitcoin transactions taking 6 hours ? okay. its some internet funny money nobody heard about.
mircea_popescu: but when my banker has to tell me he failed because the wire system is down...
BitHub: i had to sit a cafe for 6 hours just to wait for 1 confirm
mod6: (20:09) < BitHub> DEATH TO SD
BitHub: i didn't care before till i had to start waiting hours and hours and hours for 1 confirm
mod6: ahh, successfull troll 9/10
mod6: this stuff about SD is getting out of hand
jcpham: i don't care so much about SD
jcpham: if txns aren't going through that's a problem
jcpham: a problem i think miners should capitalize on
jcpham: i'm not sure how though
jcpham: if SD wants its blocks mined it needs to pay a toll
jcpham: it needs a pool in its pocket
topace_: how goes the mpex upgrades/"overhaul" ?
jcpham: that's why i pay a fee on my txns, because i want them to go through
jcpham: specialized pools should crop up soon
mod6: what is going on...
BitHub: so you mean just a mining farm just for SD transactions?
mod6: so tx's are not being processed at all?
jcpham: in some cases they are backing up because of the 250kb block limit
jcpham: luke-jr and others primarily blame this on SD
jcpham: and then some say the devs should all hold hands and increase it
BingoBongo: I blame bitvisitor. At least some SD transactions carry appreciable amunts of bitcoins.
mod6: yeah, read about that shit earlier...
mod6: today has been insane even outside of btc today, hard to keep up
mod6: so basically btc is fucked
BingoBongo: Btc is only fucked in the sense it is having fun getting its dick wet
mod6: if they move up to 1Mb that buys them some time, but isn't any different then what the global central banks are doing
jcpham: the "SD is spam" idea has traction
mod6: yeah, looks like it
jcpham: At first, most users would run network nodes, but as the
jcpham: network grows beyond a certain point, it would be left more and more to
jcpham: specialists with server farms of specialized hardware. A server farm would
jcpham: only need to have one node on the network and the rest of the LAN connects with
jcpham: assume we're close to the point of full node/ merkle nodes
jcpham: what happens to SD if pools or full nodes implement that patch
Diablo-D3: bitcoin will just shove SD tx out because they don't pay fees
BitHub: i got so angry i sold over 1000 sdice shares for whatever the fuck price, something cheap and nasty
jcpham: not enough beer. my apologies
mod6: i'm gonna guess they will cut SD out, and then SD will just pay fees and maybe raise betting levels?
mod6: there was talk about raising min fee to .01 or something, but that doesn't give incentive to not use anything else gay like PP
mod6: now, see, i thought that EV kept sayin how he pays fee's and the miners are getting rich off the fee's alone...
mod6: ala, something like `SD has paid more in fee's than all the rest of the tx's combined'... must find link...
mpexbot: smickles: Error: "coin" is not a valid command.
mod6: so i think that SD pays the fee's which is what got me so worked up this morning reading all of Luke-jr's crusade to rid the world of SD
mod6: but the blocksize thing is a seperate problem.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBongo> Btc is only fucked in the sense it is having fun getting its dick wet << this.
mircea_popescu: <topace_> how goes the mpex upgrades/"overhaul" ? << the mpexbot just showed up
mpexbot: BingoBongo: Error: "OIX" is not a valid command.
mpexbot: mircea_popescu: Error: "dix" is not a valid command.
doctor_pullfingr: can we speculate that the ddos against mpex is retaliation for SD spam?
mircea_popescu: lol i don't think luke has the resources for something like this.
BitHub: what's the price of SD now?
BitHub: wonder if its gone down a bit
BitHub: not like yesterday when everyone thought mpex was done for hey
BingoBongo: Luke has too well developed though weird sense of ethics for a DDOS
jcpham: that message thread may wind up framed in the luvre or some shit
BitHub: yeah remember mircea everyone in otc was panicing
jcpham: mircea_popescu you should partake in -otc for a bit
mircea_popescu: i dunno why it didn't get more traction, should be a cult classic.
jcpham: channel needs desperately to be +m
BitHub: are you sure he's in that movie mircea?
mircea_popescu: he plays a tax accountant for the state of florida lol

jcpham: the original screenplay
BitHub: nice same guy as godfather
jcpham: and jor-el is the fucking godfather
BitHub: ahh yeah that's right he did play jor-el
jcpham: do you think when they were filming the godfather and made money
jcpham: marlon brando was like
jcpham: you know i'd really like to be superman
BitHub: fuck man how good was marlon brando
jcpham: and that was as close as he came to it
mircea_popescu: jcpham do you know the one where marlon brando went like... hey, i'd like to rape this 19 yo
jcpham: hrm sounds questionably legal
maximian: These morons are gonna kill Bitcoin with this anti-SD crusade…
mircea_popescu: became like, a feminist and everything. total tableau.
mircea_popescu: maximian tell you something : if morons are gonna kills anything then fuck that anything.
BingoBongo: The anti-SD crusade isn't going to kill bitcoin. The crusaders are more people who liberated their bitcoins by freeing them into S.Dice's arms. Probably... except for Luke.
maximian: the problem is their little "SD is spam" meme is starting to spread
mod6: (20:48) < maximian> These morons are gonna kill Bitcoin with this anti-SD crusade... <<< this
BitHub: the coolest thing about brando was when he sent an indian woman to collect his oscar for his role in the godfather
mircea_popescu: maximian mod6 people fail to realise this, but there's a good reason and great strategic advantage in the girl's fuck you attitude.
mod6: (20:46) <+mod6> "First, SD has paid more mining fees than everyone else in the world, combined." << Is this a lie?
mod6: (20:46) <+Luke-Jr> mod6: yes
BitHub: oh yeah i remember this movie
BitHub: it was pretty friggen psycho
mircea_popescu: no meme spreads past the point where someone's holding a club
mircea_popescu: mod6 the guy's insane, sd paid like 55% of all fees ever paid
maximian: DailyAnarchist put it right it a bitcointalk thread: if nobody knew what the source of these "spam" transactions were, then the discussion would be about how to improve the system to handle more transactions. The fact that the crusaders know these transactions are from SatoshiDice has clouded their judgement.
mod6: mircea_popescu: im /nearly/ at a loss for words.
BitHub: but even if he did, meh that's his personal life, still the best actor
mircea_popescu: it's simple drama. some people who mean very little started to notice.
mircea_popescu: and are trying to inject themselves into the public eye
mircea_popescu: how is that accomplished ? why, crusade for "the betterment".
mircea_popescu: the thing is... unlike fiat that shit doesn't work here.
BitHub: he gave me a pretty lulz neg review
mircea_popescu: at any rate, drama backs bitcoin, so, all this is good.
mod6: BitHub: and you're on Luke-jr's side?!?!?
maximian: it raises my hackles, I tell you! :)
BitHub: heh i'm not on his side
BitHub: but i do have beef with sdice atm
mod6: mircea_popescu: haha drama is right. BTC has more drama than Lifetime Channel.
mircea_popescu: mod6 imagine how it'll be when women finally discover it.
mircea_popescu: otc made out of ~100 middle aged women with nothing better to do
BingoBongo: bitcoin-assets we've taken the family car apart six times today just to get some quiet time
mod6: (20:54) < jcpham> luke-jr if you don't stfu about SD i'm going to burn your church down
mod6: (20:54) <+Luke-Jr> jcpham: I'll be there to shoot you when you try.
mod6: (20:55) < jcpham> :)
mod6: (20:55) <+mod6> wwjd
BingoBongo: Rome isn't it? He's catholic his local stuff doesn't matter. I just wonder which of the BitBet pope bets are his.
doctor_pullfingr: GoDaddy got semi famous off the savetoby controversy. Then got really famous off the Superbowl controversy. I think S.Dice should milk this controversy for everything it's got. shout S.Dice is spam from the mountaintops
mod6: (20:58) <+Luke-Jr> anyhow, I was just trying to get a feel for how many people would run a counter-SD client if I take the time to write the code
mod6: this is like his own fork isn't it?
maximian: evoorhees should reinvest his profits into a massive mining pool - that's probably the surest way to make the crusaders irrelevant.
mod6: i mean he's not saying that, but thats what it is.
mircea_popescu: maximian at this point in the game it's the surest way to go bankrupt.
Luke-Jr: maximian: the surest way is to stop flooding and implement SD properly
mod6: Luke-Jr: what you're proposing is a hard fork of the blockchain right?
mircea_popescu: mod6 so he starts his own client, what's the big deal ?
Luke-Jr: heck, I'd even offer to do it for him except my stupid State has laws against writing code for gambling -.-
mod6: ok. i don't care if he starts his own client.
mircea_popescu: face facts : sooner or later Luke-Jr will end up in a little corner playing with some correct toys nobody cares about
mod6: as long as everyone else figures out how to solve the block size issue.
BitHub: laws against writing code?
maximian: If you didn't know the origin of the transactions, what would you say?
mod6: SD is another problem
mod6: but... whatever. they're two seperate topics
BitHub: Luke so you could fly to mexico and be all sweet?
Luke-Jr: why the USA has such a big problem with gambling, I'll probably never understand
mod6: what if SD wasnt a gaming site?
Luke-Jr: BitHub: I'm not interested in relocation to Mexico.
BitHub: so online gambling is illegal but guns is sweet? haha
mod6: what if it was just some random tx's from the same host that paid the fee's?
mod6: would you say the same thing?
BitHub: Luke-Jr ya i know was thinking if you spent a week there adn wrote the code, would that be legal?
Luke-Jr: mod6: I don't care how it's financed
BitHub: hmm i think you would get away with it :)
mod6: Luke-Jr: ok. so what happens when there are 1,000,000 bitcoin users and they all create 5 new tx's per day.
mod6: what then? we just shut the fucking doors and go home?
mod6: christ on a pony this is idiotic
Luke-Jr: mod6: no, that's far less than SD does
mod6: you're saying that SD does more than 5 million tx's per day?
Luke-Jr: mod6: I'm saying adoption matters.
Luke-Jr: 1,000,000 nodes can handle 5 mil txs
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 5 @ 0.446 = 2.23 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: with the current broken bitcoin-qt there will never, ever, no matter what be 1mn nodes.
mod6: Luke-Jr: yes, adoption matters, you know what I have guys download? something for their android
mod6: not the full client.
mod6: i don't want them to wait 3 days
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: 1,000,000 users also brings a number more developers onboard
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr what the fuck are you thinking this is, chicken lay eggs ?
Luke-Jr: mod6: eventually, Bitcoin-Qt will be instant-on
mircea_popescu: herpderp joe sixpack becomes a dev if you aggregate 5000 of them !?
assbot: [BTCTC] [BASIC-MINING] 1 @ 0.345 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: the best thing you can do for adoption to scale right now is to fix the motherfucking client.
mircea_popescu: actually it may be the worst piece of crap ever used by this many people.
mod6: so you're gonna make your own client, that'll have your branch (exclusion of '1dice') in there native?
mircea_popescu: simple illustrative point : i can pick a torrent worth 7gb right now, anything with less than 20 seeders
mircea_popescu: this means blockchain MUST be downloaded in 15 minutes tops.
mod6: yeah, torrents are uber fast
mircea_popescu: until the point that's the case none of you people have any business eating even.
mircea_popescu: forget having oppinions. just tap the kbd till it does it.
jcpham: lots of info for SD investors to speculate on
mod6: vote with your coins!
jcpham: i think this entire chat would be insider trading somehow
jcpham: now all we have to do is collude
jcpham: you would think, but...
Bowjob: mhm anyone think bfl wont deliver by april?
BitHub: deliver you a big box with a letter inside it asking for money money
BingoBongo: I bet they might, BitCOin's just playmoney anyway
mod6: are tx's going through though?
BingoBongo: Blockchain saw it... Let's see if it confirms...
BingoBongo: You're welcome. It's one of those World Baseball Classic penny bets, because apparently that didn't have enough chutzpah to attract much interest. I've had too much vodka tonight to mess with the python script so I don't know at this weight if I will clear anything, but fuck it. Bitcoin is an MMORPG and that's what I'm telling the 5-0
SpNg: hey mircea_popescu I have been out of the loop the last couple days. What's going on with MPEx? I see that it's down right now.
BingoBongo: Bitcoin is a drama role playing game and it just so happens the tokens to play the game happen to be valued quite a bit. Like WoW gold.
mod6: im starting to think the same thing. like fast-times-at-btc-high.
BitHub: an expensive game of emotions
mircea_popescu: there's a forum post the girl made summing up everything
SpNg: mircea_popescu: seriously? wtf? you have a link to the post?
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, god knows i'm well loved and i can't think of anyone or anything that'd have it in for me.
BingoBongo: Maybe Coinlab, You just debuted that OIX thing that kind of threatened to replace MT Gox spot... Though you presented it more modestly.
mircea_popescu: tho tbh... what diff would it make to anyone if its gox spot or oix or a random number coming out of a hat.
mircea_popescu: as long as it's the consensus it's as good as any other, for a service provider.
BingoBongo: I mean the girl's been hammering the Gox is dead mantra and some noobs seem to be trusting her for a change. You might have survived the game long enough that people start to assume you're legit.
mod6: ;;gpg info mircea_popescu
mod6: that's been a while now, longer than most of us
BingoBongo: The Coinlab buying Gox's USD book threatens Gox's sustainability angle
mircea_popescu: BingoBongo im not even sure they seriously want the #1 spot.
BitHub: they're are many peeps many working on ways for americans to get around coinlab into gox
gribble: Time since last block: 19 minutes and 16 seconds
BitHub: i think you'll see a lil bump but gox should be okey :)
BingoBongo: I dunno yCombinator has all of that renting apartments out to methheads money Mircea, it was probably either bought, hyped, or humiliated. I don't think Gox was forced, but I say this with a low degree of confidence.
BingoBongo: BitHub I trust it will be smooth, but the newbs opions shape the shouting
BingoBongo: Coinlab probably though it was a bargain
mircea_popescu: after the french fiasco they certainly didn't feel the need for a replay, so.
mircea_popescu: it's a win-win : the noobs get bragging rights (which they don't know how to use, but hey, youth), mtgox gets out of some stick.
mircea_popescu: the us public becomes even more underserved, isolated, ghettoized
BingoBongo: Gox never really had the staff or skill to handle the low information customers
mircea_popescu: moreover, there's some lessons being learned here. everyone wants to be more like mpex.
BitHub: be nice is there was something just as big or popular as mtgox
BitHub: not good to depend just on mtgox?
mircea_popescu: the thing is tho, the net result of mtgox's however we call it, incompetence, being stretched too thin
BingoBongo: ANd that's the crucial difference from 2011
mircea_popescu: they have been bleeding market share month by month by month. by now i wouldn't even bet they do a third.
mircea_popescu: this of course becomes problematic for pricing options.

mod6: cross your fingers and pray to dog
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 1 @ 0.4999988 BTC [+]
BitHub: and that's stopped you before?
mod6: this next block should be sizeable
BitHub: its such a good word, i use it for slang all the time
mod6: but its a 250k limit so the joke's on me LOL
mircea_popescu: i never understood how that 250k limit got to be there
BingoBongo: mod6 I would bet my bet makes it in this next block...
mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, that seems pretty strange to me now.
mircea_popescu: recently i discovered the way bitcoind works is all quirky and based on assumptive limitations like that.
mod6: do you believe there should be a block size limit at all?
BingoBongo: Another point for SD over most miners, BitcoinJ isn't as poorly coded as BitcoinD
mod6: oh... it seems to me that if 1 billion people send 1 satoshi in 5 years, it could be a 10gb block... who cares, process it
mod6: maybe im just retarded
mod6: i have been hit in the head a lot :S
mircea_popescu: mod6 the problem here tho is that bitcoin as it is is bitcoin as it is.
mircea_popescu: if i get married to you on the understanding that you always wear red underwear
mircea_popescu: as stupid as that may turn out to be, it's still in the fucking contract
BingoBongo: mircea_popescu it still follows many of the arbitrary limits (because bitcoind), but the code organization is much better. Kind of sad because well, Java.
mod6: right, so yeah, they wrote it in, no going back.
mircea_popescu: now, the only way to change something like that is the way gavin proposed it
mircea_popescu: ie, "let they who have anything to lose decide where it should be"
mircea_popescu: they who have anything to lose are, of course, the miners. so a system where miners vote somehow on standard block size may be a replacement, maybe.
mircea_popescu: BingoBongo ya srsly. why the fuck do these people make these choices.
mircea_popescu: maybe it's a bad idea for coders to be allowed to chose their language.
mod6: na, gotta be able to pick the right tool for the job... but that doesn't always mean that the guy will make the best choice
mod6: i can still use a butter knife as a screwdriver
mod6: but its not best... im just retarded
BingoBongo: WordPress and a watch only wallet powered by ArmoryD is probably how I'd write a bitcoin site if I had to.
mod6: yeah, wow. im blown away by some of this. how did I not zero in on these things?
mod6: its like punching myself in the dick

BingoBongo: Honestly the miners'll probably roll with whatever, making the margins work is their business. Let the pool operators cap block sizes and open up the daemon for everyone else.
BingoBongo: mod6 the bet made it in, miracle what a decent transaction fee can do
mircea_popescu: for the other, security strictly depends on the block being finite.
BingoBongo: pragmatism will lead miners to cap the size of their own blocks unless they want to birth hydrocephalitic orphans
mod6: right, well i guess you dont want people putting in the wayback machine into the blockchain...
BingoBongo: mod6 and it is the first one. BitBet shows the bet as registered as well
mod6: yeah they're a bunch of Fascists
mod6: hitler was against very against smoking too
mircea_popescu: "Maybe some quota-filling cop thinks you look like a whore."
BingoBongo: Eh, take Canthaxanthin for a few months and walk around New York, some Cop will grab a real good feel.
mod6: BingoBongo: 2 confs now...
mod6: so at least with your .0025 fee, that was good enough
BingoBongo: mod6 It has been my standard fee for about a month now. I'm not patient enough to send with less.
BingoBongo: Even on small transactions it is cheaper than a wire

BitHub: is it hard to make a ticker from your api mircea?
mircea_popescu: worst case scenario just moved to "if 10 Gb pipe isn't enough to stop ddos, we just trade via mpexbot"
mircea_popescu: BitHub not really an api but still, i don't think so, it's all json after all.
BitHub: okey, hopefully i can feature a mpex ticker on my site soon, if its okey with you of course

maximian: last s.dice trade on mpex was something like 0.0058
ZedsterX: gotta be in for the long haul and ho-pe or dump
deadweasel: what should I do with 1600 shares on bitfunder?
BitHub: i doubt s.dice will be here for the long run
BitHub: i would dump and pump into jah mining and collect daily divs
BitHub: that's what i been doin
maximian: I wouldn't be so sure about that. S.dice is more than just a dice game, it's a brand
deadweasel: i had some jah, was good, but I can't get rid of these sdice. bought at .55 sold at 75, then bought back in at .6 cos I'm still learning, that's why
BitHub: just get rid of them all deadweasel
BitHub: and pump it into jah, anything you'll loose you'll make up in the dail divs
deadweasel: if they are 58 on mpex, know anybody who wants them at .55!
maximian: yes, building brand awareness is expensive. the value of s.dice's brand awareness justifies the stock price alone.
deadweasel: yeah, i'm going for divs only stocks these days. sdice may not make it to the next divs, as it is. the brand may make it through w/out the assets
maximian: Some big gaming concern is probably going to come in and scoop up s.dice
BitHub: the core of the community hates S.DICE
maximian: An acquisition would be a great exit for all investors
maximian: That's not true - some of the core devs, not all
BitHub: we just had a 5 hour tango convo about this before
maximian: There are enough mining pools who will always confirm s.dice transactions
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 39 @ 0.5 = 19.5 BTC [+]
BitHub: its been a good day, have you seen all the giveaways on otc?
BitHub: i even got in on the action
BitHub: gave away some btc for twitter followers heh
deadweasel: that's good business right now. +1s and followers and likes
ZedsterX: jah mining is on MPEX? I have never seen this or is it called something else
deadweasel: bitpride is going to do the same thing as sdice?
BitHub: yep when i eventually get into full marketing mode i'll pay offering btc tips for peeps who paste their address to me on twitter or fb
BitHub: better than fb's advertising system
deadweasel: you should automate it --- mechanical turk for likes.
BitHub: but the coding, programming stuff, me doing it? is like getting the janitor to fly the airplane
deadweasel: spend some time to interview local college kids for an 'internship'. orjust pay them shit
BitHub: lul i'm paying a few programmers on here atm, slowly
deadweasel: until you get bigger then hire a better coder and scrap and redo
deadweasel: srsly though, expectations of bitpride?
BitHub: um bitpride i was looking at those shares but felt a bit shy
ZedsterX: Namworld: thx so where is it listed?
BitHub: its cool its something different but i dont know
Namworld: I got a few shares for the heck of it.
deadweasel: i'd just rather have my btc going up than my shares going down.
BitHub: is jah the only onepaying daily divs on BF?
BitHub: everyone else is weekly or monthly yeah?
maximian: I like the idea… but what if pastebin gets DDoS'd?
mpexbot: mircea_popescu: Server's response: Post limit, maximum pastes per 24h reached
mircea_popescu: maximian it's temporary tho. they've not credited the acct to pro status yet
BitHub: is it really hard to combat it?
BitHub: or just really expensive?
mircea_popescu: mpex is pretty much the only thing that even has a prayer at it, but otherwise... nope.
mircea_popescu: they ARE expensive to do tho, so in a sense a self limiting condition
Rick__: when will be the new version of bitvps's website on?
BitHub: any idea who's behind it?
Rick__: I have been waiting the new bitvps for a month
Bowjob: " * Show your support in asking the MPOE exchange where the S.DICE security is located, to de-list the security until the problem is addressed."
BitHub: free membership and 5btc to whoever finds
Bowjob: guys a huge dump is happening
maximian: that misterbigg guy is a little slow
Bowjob: just increase the min bet
mircea_popescu: maximian he;s a funny guy. he was active in the s.dice thread back in august
Bowjob: 0.1 BTC per bet or gtfo
maximian: hehheh…I wonder why he bothers
Bowjob: well, it took like over an hour to confirm my tx last night
Bowjob: imo we need a compromise. this blockchain bloat is annoying
deadweasel: can i push from bitfunder to havelock?
Bowjob: how about increasing the min bet on all dice games
deadweasel: i like that idea, until BTC is worth $100, 1000
BitHub: it wouldn't be that hard to get s.dice shut down
BitHub: they're based in usa right?
deadweasel: I think Sdice needs to handle the issue on their end, do their own gambling fork.
maximian: I do like all this s.dice exposure… being talked about is what keeps it on top
BitHub: yeah its good pr for sure
deadweasel: anyway, how could I get my SDICE from bitfunder to havelock?
Namworld: They could easily take bitcoin deposits and have a fork for the sole purpose of calculating lucky numbers, nay?
BitHub: i just hope s.dice pays taxes
Namworld: giving a fork balance that can be cashed out... inconvenient tho
deadweasel: yeah, i don't know. I have no solutions. just shrinking asset value.
smickles: gaaw, wtf are these people on about, do the really thing some script,ajax heavy site would do better against a sustained ddos than a few <tr> tags?
Bowjob: the dice share holders will be opposed to delisting their shares
smickles: people like that mrbig and such
mircea_popescu: smickles the stupid want everything remade in their image
mircea_popescu: that such nonsense would require throwing away the edges doesn't worry them : they don't know what those are anyway
smickles: srsly, that was what I came back to when i went to the forum for the first time in a while
Bowjob: the tx fees are there on top of the house edge yeah
smickles: and all the chuckleheads talking about raising the blocksize
mircea_popescu: now imagine how bitcoin would work if it were you know... like fiat
mircea_popescu: it's kind of interesting how this all worked out btw. the -otc and forum, home of the unwashed masses, all revolutionary and shit. the -assets, where the landed gentry naturally gathers, all conservative.
mircea_popescu: apparently all political history is contained within people themselves.
BitHub: so we're making history right now?
BitHub: yeh but none of it really matters
BitHub: especially before the internet was born, real pointless stuff
BitHub: i've liked how things have played out so far but are we about to see a real dark turn in the road?
OneMiner: The whole issue is wildly overblown. Some extra action will be taken to penalize spammy transactions and the blocksize always had to go up at some point. Not right now though, I think.
maximian: the issue is very polarizing for some reason
OneMiner: It's all the anarchists railing about the injustice (nay TYRANNY) of the concept that the blockchain shouldn't contain an unlimited amount of garbage.
OneMiner: Bah, I need to stop phrasing it that way. I'm not doing any good with this noise.
maximian: unlimited garbage is a problem, and needs to be dealt with
OneMiner: It will be worked out, I'm sure people will be upset for a while. But when the sun rises the next day things will look brighter.
maximian: the drama is compelling, hence the topic goes on and on
mircea_popescu: selecting what is garbage is an overstretch of the licenses granted.
OneMiner: We feed on it right? Here we are trying to adopt a new currency, pretty much out of the blue. Right away we are overly invested relative to the rest of the world. We are all a bit nutty.
mircea_popescu: or in other words, the president don't have that authority.
OneMiner: mircea_popescu Except in this case we do have the authority. It's a collective as opposed to unilateral action.
OneMiner: We all choose which clients to run right? There's the vote right there.
mircea_popescu: unless you get your subject to agree with you, there's no basis.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 26 @ 0.5 = 13 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: if it actually was solvable that way therer wouldn't be all the whining.
mircea_popescu: the problem is tghat there's no problem, and random selection of idiots are trying to manufacture one for poluitical reasons.
OneMiner: Well... It WILL be solved that way and there STILL will be whining.
OneMiner: It's ok though. The alt coins proove that there is no absolute authority. Miners each have a choice of what transactions to include, the world keep turning.
mircea_popescu: it's funny tho, because in real world politics people consider the media's focusing on margianl nonissues as signs of some sort of conspiracy.
mircea_popescu: yet in bitcoin there's no media, and yet in bitcoin people focus on marginal nonissues instead of facing the hard stuff. like fixing the damned client.
OneMiner: Cool. I just wanted to pop in with that PSA, the topic is on everybodies mind. :P I've been speaking about this all day. I'm going to bed. :)
Namworld: Damn... MPEx needs to come back up. I want to put some orders in =/

Namworld: Why is the return amount needed on losses?
Namworld: the 1 satoshi or so outputs by S.DICE?
BitHub: bitcoin isn't a dictatorship?
Namworld: Can't Erik remove those? I don't see much point anyway. You can check your lucky number regardless... If you don't win, don't confirm by sending 1 satoshi?

Ukto: i mean, seems a bit draconian ?
Ukto: "you can never leave"
mircea_popescu: Ukto if you think about it the only practical effect it has is it prevents accounting becoming a mess a la asicminer.
Ukto: it worked fine there
Namworld: SD offers a lookup tool to check your lucky numbers anyway. If you lose, you can see it from the tool.
Namworld: A lookup search box should be palced prominently on SD
Ukto: Namworld: join the conversation for a sec pls :P
Namworld: If you don't win, don't reply with a 1 satoshi transaction
mircea_popescu: Namworld i dunno, did erik even say at any point why they're sending it that way ?
Namworld: no... I guess so people know the bet has been processed?
Namworld: You can check that without a transaction... that's the point

mircea_popescu: how come colored coins are spendable but satoshi aren't ? isn't this exactly the same thing ?
Namworld: apparently not... 1 satoshi takes more fees to transact than the satoshi itself.
Namworld: and people tend to exclude 1 satoshi transactions
Namworld: I guess that's mostly that. Not that it's actually impossible to try to send it without any fee.

mircea_popescu: and for that matter, if you're trying to apply a penalty to people who tryt to bloat the blockchain
TradeFortress: it could (not saying it is) be based on the cost it takes to process/store the TX
mircea_popescu: you want to impose a fee on txs that have small OUTPOUTS
TradeFortress: <TradeFortress> mircea_popescu, any output smaller than 0.01 requires fee

Namworld: not much trading going on right now
smickles: i guess pizza is what we should stick too
topace: zomg bitcoin is exploding!
topace: mpex down, blockchain.info down, block softlimit filesize reached...
topace: BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE
deadweasel: you're not kiddin. blockchain is undermaintenance
topace: what should mpex.co resolve to ?
deadweasel: it should resolve to be a profitable venture
mircea_popescu: topace mpex.co nothing yet. mpex.coinbr.com is what you want
mpexbot: mircea_popescu: (help [<plugin>] [<command>]) -- This command gives a useful description of what <command> does. <plugin> is only necessary if the command is in more than one plugin.
jurov: coinbr.com fully functional nao
mircea_popescu: anyway : in case our proxies get taken down, you can use mpexbot to check the json for vwap prices and market depth.
mircea_popescu: you can also issue orders through it, via $post blabla, where blabla is the url of a pastebin where you've uploaded your gpg encrypted clearsigned order
mircea_popescu: this functionality is disabled currently for administrative reasons, but can be flipped on at will
mircea_popescu: this ensures us against trade being taken down via ddos, unless someone manages to ddoss frenode.
mircea_popescu: there will be a 2nd bot coming online this weekend, doing roughly the same thing, just for redundancy.
jurov: and trades by email are supported automatically?
jurov: or you do the manually?
mircea_popescu: trades by email was an absolute lowest level of desperation.
mircea_popescu: it's just there as a possibility so people understand that no matter what happens, mpex will trade.
pizzaman1337: noob question: I've been watching some options books' and I've noticed some have buy/sell orders of 1000, with constantly changing prices. Is someone running a script with those orders, or are they mpex provided or something?
gribble: You rated user smickles on Sat Aug 25 08:39:34 2012, giving him a rating of 4, and supplied these additional notes: He's been running MPOE.ETF and releasing THE monthly reports, a model for all Bitcoin financial reporting. Also handled k's of BTC as broker for various clients..
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu: is that just to provide liquidity or something?
Anduck: mircea_popescu: you totally should change the whole MPEX to be used via IRC
Anduck: just hide the ip of the bot
Anduck: and youre safe from ddos
gribble: Nick 'mpexbot', with hostmask 'mpexbot!~supybot@unaffiliated/smickles/bot/mpexbot', is not identified.
mircea_popescu: Anduck when i say mpex is the superior design this is what i mean.
Anduck: mircea_popescu: it's far away from superior, sorry.
Anduck: mircea_popescu: wanna know how to really make it superior?
Anduck: i'll tell you. really.
Anduck: the question will be do you have the possibilities to make it happenj
Anduck: but if someone did, it would be superior.
Anduck: just that nobody has done it, yet.
deadweasel: easy, sms via ec2 amazon services sms abilities
deadweasel: i'm from the south, we don't like colored coins 'round here
Anduck: make a system based on colored coin basis
Anduck: it would be totally awesome
Anduck: and if you can, hire a group to make it happen.
mircea_popescu: do you have an inknling of a clue what people would say if i used colored coins ?
mircea_popescu: this is discussed on trilema, read that article when i get it back online.
Anduck: but... i saw porn on there :(
Anduck: well tbh i dont think colored coins would make it worse
smickles: < mircea_popescu> you can also issue orders through it, via $post blabla, where blabla is the url of a pastebin where you've uploaded your gpg encrypted clearsigned order
mpexbot: smickles: (post <paste key>) -- Supply a pastebin paste key containing a signed and encrypted MPEx command. Respondes with a pastebin URL with MPEx's response.
mpexbot: smickles: Temporarily disabled by reques of the romanian
jurov: smickles, this i asked about
jurov: no i asked smickles earlier why mpexbot doesn't do whole urls
smickles: basically, because mircea_popescu didn't ask for that
mircea_popescu: jurov because a. its much easier to parse and b. because the bot can't be touching random servers
mircea_popescu: it's not that i didn't ask for it, it's that i asked for non-it.
jurov: ok, we'll see if ppl start running into pastebin limit
jcpham: something to get involved in finally
kakobrekla: i dont think newbs should be doing this
smickles: hmm, 25 pastes per day for an unidentified user, doable
kakobrekla: there must be some paste something that is not rate limited
deadweasel: couldn't you start an IRC channel that was invite only, pw protected, and people could trade with your bot in there?
deadweasel: that way you keep the rif raf from being able to poke around
deadweasel: i don't know much about IRC, but I'm sure your own system of IRC networks and servers could manage any load
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> lets paste the mpex output to reddit <<< thart was considered, and is still on the list :D
deadweasel: course EC2 doesn't allow IRC servers, not the free ones anyhow
mircea_popescu: this is a very heavy political issue and i won't solve it that way.
mircea_popescu: well... i don't and i think the attack i've seen could actually blow them offline
deadweasel: i can see you with half you face painted blue right now, mircea_popescu
deadweasel: "but they will never take our, MPEX!!!!!!"
smickles: lol, "Who is General Failure and why is he reading my harddrive?"
jcpham: PC Load Letter _ wtf does that mean!?!
mircea_popescu: also smickles you ever saw seek and destroy, the film ?
mircea_popescu: you don't read trilema enouygh, i tore them a new asshole.

jurov: just found out amazon s3 allows POSTS
Namworld: It says perhaps i didn't sign the key. But it worked before.
jurov: i'll do mpex proxy there, FUCK YA DDoSers
BitHub: is this done in real time?
Namworld: I'm booting my Bitcoin Armory. Tip incoming.
jurov: i can mirror mpex to the s3 cdn
[\\\]: Namworld, get ssd, it loads in <1 minutes
jurov: and it can accept post requests that show as files in s3 storage
Namworld: It takes me 40 minutes to boot the damn thing
Namworld: I have hexacore with 8 GB ram... the ressources are hardly being used.
[\\\]: then you're doing something wrong
[\\\]: it shouldn't take that long
Namworld: Armory still takes it's goddamn sweet time to load
[\\\]: have you updated it?
Namworld: It also keeps crashing randomly. And yes, I update it.
Namworld: months ago, it used to load in 3 minutes
Namworld: now it crashes, doesn't update confirmations while running and take 40 minutes to boot.
Namworld: But I've been upgrading bitcoind/armory when new versions come out for quite some time and it never fixed anything.
jurov: this one makes a difference
Namworld: I think it's more of a problem with Armory but eh
Namworld: I'm reloading the blockchain now...
Namworld: Damn, 0.8 is going much faster
Namworld: But .7 wasn't really slow to start with.
Namworld: the DDoS is persistent... It's been what, 2 or 3 days?
nanotube: so, do we now have a complete bot interface to mpex?
mircea_popescu: the drawbacks of having a dayjob lol. it was his idea to start with

mircea_popescu: Namworld i suppose you could write an irc bot of your own
Bowjob: why dont we stop selling BTC for USD and jus BTC all together
Bowjob: that way gox prices wont go down, and if we pay with BTC the value doesnt go down
Namworld: That would be assuming I could even program such a thing. I don't have the know-how to.
Bowjob: seems like a win win situation if everyone does that
mircea_popescu: Namworld im sure one will crop up soon enough, much like pympex did
Bowjob: if they sell to USD, its lose-lose. btc value goes down and they get fiat
Namworld: Because merchants being paid in BTC needs to sell them to buy the goods from others in USD...
jurov: and i'm researching users posting orders directly into amazon s3 :)
Bowjob: those merchants that need goods should pay other merchants in btc
Namworld: a DDoS resistant MPEx interface.
mircea_popescu: lol well folks... i hate to be the one feeding the conspiracy theories, but
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: there is a lot of skill and there are a lot of resources involved with such ample ddosing
jborkl_: i already thought of this, and I know who
Namworld: Anyone with a good botnet could do so, but why?
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 $$$

mircea_popescu: there's literally not that many people with a botnet good enough
Namworld: Unless it was started by a botnet owner, not purchased off the black market.
mircea_popescu: also there's risks involved (if you run it continuously isps find your zombies)
Namworld: Infected computers don't cost much to operate.
mircea_popescu: ya but ideologically speaking, it'd seem an odd fit to ddos bitcoin
Namworld: Seems it's targeting MPEx only.
Namworld: MPEx has a huge wallet... I would have thought ransom request.
jborkl_: whoo is the biggest dipshit with a grudge? There is your answer
mircea_popescu: and blockchain.info wallet for instance isn't all that fat.
jborkl_: that Has 24hr access to botnets
smickles: that guy was off a whole other hinge

kakobrekla: yeah, better downrate me quick mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: on one hand, if you're a broker, then you enter trades into the exchange at the behest of customers.
kakobrekla: id be at 200 if id been a rating whore

smickles: afaik, you get as many keys as you buy
smickles: (well, that's a silly way to put it)
pigeons: you can have as many keys as you like but the keys arent "active" without 200 xrp owner reserve + 50 xrp + 50 xrp per trust line
pigeons: same as before, private payment networks, plus now the integration with bitstamp and ukto's weexchange
doctor_pullfingr: Oh, I thought you meant sell the mpex key. I got the free ripples so I can sign up people already have, but I still want my own server.
kakobrekla: bitstamp is retarded, the only reason they have so big market share is cause they dont hassle folks with ids n stuff
doctor_pullfingr: thanks mp for the lesson I'll be changing my nick to bucketshop soon
kakobrekla: the practical use of ripple invloves bitstamp which involves retardation
doctor_pullfingr: I think there is a ripple gateway client in the wild but to make it work with mpex seat you need the to server. I'm floating the idea for comments, I don't know for sure if this will work.
knotwork: There is some kind of ubunto install now for OT, you just tell your system about the repo and use apt-get or somesuch to install it
knotwork: no idea, I dont see how OT helps with mpex really
maximian: can someone pm me an mpex proxy?
doctor_pullfingr: If I want to sell ripple ious where people pay me bullshit fiat and I automatically purchase beloved satoshi dice, then I need something that talks to mpex. I think OT is the closest tool for that,,but some automation is probably lacking.

assbot: !mp <signcrypted dpaste.com url> (desc: returns the response from MPEX order)
maximian: I'm lazy… just wanted to replace a string in pympex
maximian: does pympex now work with this irc bot?
mircea_popescu: doctor_pullfingr im just thinking, you want to talk to mpex programatically, pympex is like two pages of python
maximian: mircea_popescu: what about setting up 100 AWS t1.micro instances (only $23/year if reserved, or $1.91/month), and install the proxy server and bind on each. Then add all 100 instance IPs as A records to mpex.co.
doctor_pullfingr: I'm kinda worried about security on that approach because Im just some warehouse developer.
mircea_popescu: doctor_pullfingr i scarcely see how more code can mean more security, in principle.
Bowjob: someone in the us got their Avalon now
Bowjob: i wonder how likely it is that by the time my avalon 2 ships, bfl still hasn't shipped?
doctor_pullfingr: I'm not at all against that, just voicing a concern. I had the idea that the developer for the OT server thought more about authentication more than I care to think about it
Bowjob: theres 200 BTC say NO on bitbet
mircea_popescu: doctor_pullfingr yeah, i'm mostly talking outloud on the topic too
knotwork: mpex uses gpg authentication though so why you need OT's auth on top of that?
mircea_popescu: knotwork i took it he meant he's concerned as to what to do with the data coming out of pympex
Bowjob: i feel bad for mr 500 BTC on yes
knotwork: though I suppose you could plug in GPG libs instead of OTs currencty crypto libs since it meant to be pluggable
doctor_pullfingr: I don't have enough rich friends where I can convince them to spend 30 BTC per account.
mircea_popescu: Bowjob bitbet is doing some brisk trade this month for sure
knotwork: what is the actual use case? own things in mpex on behalf of people you act as broker for?
knotwork: so you want to tamper-proof your own records of what you are holding on behalf of who?
maximian: it just needs to be integrated into pympex and we're done
knotwork: its suprising people actually use IRC bot. I made entire exchanges between umpteen coin types before and no one ever used it
mircea_popescu: knotwork when i brought mpex back after it's half day pause yest
knotwork: yeah weird, as it even still needs the gpg that people complain about
knotwork: mine was plain IRC bot, just say hello to it give it password, standard insecure crap like normal people seem to prefer
knotwork: held wallet for you based on your IRC nick, one wallet per type of altcoin
knotwork: is it true at all that using Tor .onion site or i2p site these DDOS attacks would not work?
knotwork: I would've though the DDOS might just kind of clog entire Tor or i2p system
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 3 @ 0.545 = 1.635 BTC [-]
maximian: It looks like you can actually start 100 t1.micro instances in Amazon's Ireland data centre… tempting
maximian: I wonder how that plays out legally
doctor_pullfingr: so, sounds like old school irc server and irc bot/supybot/pympex is all I need
mircea_popescu: knotwork the tor proposition is a little more complicated
mircea_popescu: doctor_pullfingr i don't see why you'd need an irc server
maximian: it'd be $437/month on a spot-price basis
knotwork: does email still work for communicating with mpex?
knotwork: its how I originally isgned up I think?
knotwork: tho hmm maybe I did use web for status command
knotwork: oh but thats it, email doesnt work for whole panoply of commands?
mircea_popescu: knotwork it never did. i said at some point day before yest that if the worst comes to worst im taking mpex to email
Namworld: Someone would have to be strongly dedicated for that to happen tho
Namworld: Anyway, I'm off to sleep. Night
Bowjob: These are some delicious pictures
Bowjob: printing over $300 equivalent
Bowjob: Looks like BFL might downgrade their specs
jcpham: who wants me to tell them how paranoid i am
jcpham: it's an interesting story about two events
jcpham: i received two phone calls this evening within 10 minutes on different phones
jcpham: unintelligellible speech
jcpham: i think it was information gathering
jcpham: i'm downloading the voicemail recording to study the waveform
jcpham: i'm not sure... my voice, my location
jcpham: considering how often my phone rings
Ukto: Bowjob: so that was another batch 1 shipment that got delivered today? 0,o
Bowjob: its not like all the people who got them are posting
Bowjob: this chinese dude didnt tell the forums until he had problems
gribble: Time since last block: 14 minutes and 31 seconds
Ukto: ahh, i saw the package picture and thought it just arrived
jcpham: gavin emailed some pools
jcpham: suggested increasing block limit
jcpham: or reminded them of where the config settings for this are located
jcpham: bitcoinfoundation blog
jcpham: prolly wanna follow that one
mircea_popescu: he's not recommending anything but here's some guesswork.
jcpham: it's better than nothing
jcpham: i like how he does fear, uncertainty, and doubt as three separate bitcointalk forum links
jcpham: nanotube how goes the diplomatic corps
jcpham: the kids are totally abusing gribble
jborkl: Ok, I almost have it worked out, to take mpex on your phone
jborkl: Two steps, working out the kinks

nanotube: maybe consider making a separate channel with some help in topic.
nanotube: to make the different bots and their commands more discoverable...
mircea_popescu: yeah the topic might use some reworking. things very fluid still.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the main mpex should be online soon and maybe maximian brings online a suite of tinies ?
jborkl: I got it off the key server,since I am doing this on my phone
jborkl: Ok, thanks. The phone will trade easily with the bot
jborkl: Only a couple steps, and they could be combined
jborkl: It opens the potential, so people don't have to use python or be proficient with gpg
mircea_popescu: Nearly 80 percent of New York City high school graduates need to relearn basic skills before they can enter the City University’s community college system. They had to re-learn basic skills — reading, writing and math — first before they could begin college courses.
Rick__: Hi,why MPEx still cant be used?
Rick__: And I withdrawed 423bitcoin yesterday,and didnt receive yet

mircea_popescu: i've flushed deposits/withdrawals a number of times since yesterday,
Rick__: so complicated for me~~~~~~
mircea_popescu: if you didn't get yours processed tghere was a problem with it (such as it being larger than the amt available, for instance)
Rick__: so when can I receive my withdraw?
jborkl: Mp, I am just tired. But I have it worked out to trade from the phone easily
mircea_popescu: Rick__ if you've not received it yet there was a problem with it
mircea_popescu: do a STAT to make sure what you can withdraw the do a withdrawal.
assbot: [BTCTC] [ASICMINER-PT] 18 @ 0.74 = 13.32 BTC [-]

Rick__: o shit,you are right,I put a number big then I have
Rick__: and about the bots,I can only use them here?
mircea_popescu: issue a fixed order, i'm arround so it will be processed fast.
mircea_popescu: we are working to bring much more power online, but it may take a little longer.
Rick__: and when will the MPEx be back/
mircea_popescu: as soon as possible. you can read a status update on the forum
mircea_popescu: also people like jborkl_ are working to bring trade interface to phones
Rick__: and how can I give a withdraw command here/
mircea_popescu: first make the clearsigned and encrypted text for it as normal
Rick__: about trade interface to phones,that's very very useful,I want know more later
Rick__: pastebin.com is a website?I cant open it
Rick__: Let me try another way
Rick__: and put my text in this one?
Rick__: yes, just the code,leave other things along?
Rick__: first which is the url you are talking about,i dont understand
Rick__: "url" define it please
Rick__: sorry,I dont know much about computer
gribble: Time since last block: 13 minutes and 9 seconds
Rick__: Okay,I gott go,and waiting for MPEx back
BitHub: is the mpex api data working atm?
BitHub: ahh sweet thank you sir
BitHub: i guess i have to wait for website to come back to get a website version of the api?
jcpham: i have another super awesome blog-a-ma-post
jcpham: about how me and this dude are video collaborating using mega.co.nz
jcpham: me and my friend nick were bitching about how we don't have dropbox accounts
jcpham: that hold hundreds of gbs
jcpham: they were quick to deliver on fpga
jcpham: nzghang or whatever his name is
mircea_popescu: isn't he the guy whi discovered the chips bfl used in fpga ?
jcpham: seems like he reverse engineered it
jcpham: or identified it using all knowlege available
dub: he scraped the plastic off
jcpham: maybe he watched the history channel
midnightmagic: ngzhang is the one who reverse-engineered the identities of the fpga in bfl singles.
midnightmagic: ngzhang reconnected a trace that had been destroyed which prevented the chip from identifying itself normally.
midnightmagic: he is also the most ethical businessperson, next to magicaltux, I have ever seen operating in the ethics-challenged bitcoinland.
midnightmagic: present company excepted from such a comparison of course.
assbot: [BTCTC] [GSDPT] 1 @ 0.00575 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic what's some highlights of magicaltux ethicalness ?
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Paying out-of-pocket for all hacks/malfunctions, giving out free yubikeys to help secure accounts, sponsoring events, fighting legal battles to help keep bitcoin legal, maintaining privacy of accounts (excepting the coinlab thing,) participating in infrastructure rollout, keeping permanent historical account trade records..
mircea_popescu: i do recall the absorbing of the failed polish exchange
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: he also strongly fights against illegal activities and thefts that use his systems for laundry activities.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, no. trades were rolled back during their hack
midnightmagic: he lost 2000 btc from that, and paid out-of-pocket.
Ukto: "avalon is wiping the floor with bfl" and "asicminer is wiping the floor with avalon"
midnightmagic: I'm failing to see how doing an exchange rollback as a result of unauthorized account activity is itself unethical.
mircea_popescu: paying out of pocked for all hacks/malfunctions means they honor every single order at 1 cent a bitcoin that was ever made.
Ukto: except AMs turnup time is far faster
Ukto: I can only say so much
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic the sticky issues in my mind is whether the hacked account at that time was mtgox selftrading on customer credit, and whether the email leak at that time is something they failed to prevent
Ukto: kinda sad since i bought avalons and rooting for them
Ukto: but i know the reality of things hehe
mircea_popescu: well, so they come out to about even as best i can see.
Ukto: wiwthin the next 2~6 days
Ukto: although if I get my avalons in the next week, i will be stoked :P
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: There is no evidence that is the case, nor is there any evidence from our perspective that MtGox themselves did anything less than they could have to prevent the account leaks. From what we know, it was either two hacks, one of them being a readout from a financial analyst who had privileged access, and the other being completely unknown, or one hack, being the financial analyst.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic it's a fact that customers had been reporting passwords being broken into which tux/gox blamed on customers, for weeks prior.
mircea_popescu: and the guy with the emails db claimed that it was mtgox poor practices (course... he's the thief)
midnightmagic: And we have no evidence that that is not the case. Also, many of those who complained publically disappeared and did not pursue the matter when confronted.
mircea_popescu: in fact, afaik none did pursue the matter when confronted
midnightmagic: One of them did, but only on the forum, and did not seem at all concerned about losing $50k worth of bc.
mircea_popescu: anyways. just taking the opportunity to compare notes.
midnightmagic: Point is, MtGox has been exceedingly ethical, especially when contrasted with real-world banks and other financial institutions.
mircea_popescu: Ukto re avalons, some deliveries have been popping up in the us
midnightmagic: Most of the inconsistencies we can see are just as likely to be MT's lack of perfect knowledge of what's going on, which of course I know of no people who are perfectly aware of their own systems.
midnightmagic: Yeah, Avalons are being delivered in California already
Ukto: yeah, but those are batch 1
Ukto: batch 2 shipping eta was mar 5 ~ april 5
midnightmagic: Batch #2, as far as I'm aware, hasn't even fully been order-filled.
Bowjob: Oh man.. BFL victims caught a bad case of Stockholm Syndrome
mircea_popescu: Ukto batch 1 was like 200 units iirc. that's a total 12th or thereabouts.
mircea_popescu: asicminer, also ready in january, also 12 th, has slowly been bringing units online to about what, 5-7th now
Bowjob: well mp, their deadline was actually feb 28
Bowjob: the jan 20 was a "bonus"
Ukto: I know alot about AM that I cant discuss. :)
Ukto: just be ready to be surprised.
Bowjob: that never materialized
Ukto: technically all of batch 1 was supposed to be shipped by march 1st
mircea_popescu: Bowjob ya well, keeping accurate accounting of all the weird communication people pour into the market out of noobishness and whatever other reasons is difficult.
Bowjob: yeah, they were 10 days late
midnightmagic: And in China, a few users did in fact receive their units.
Bowjob: yifu said feb 28.. then he moved it to possible jan 20 deliver
Bowjob: he did deliver 2 on jan, but got shut down by the chinese
Bowjob: then resumed on march up to march 10,
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's very fortunate and convenient that 1. asics are delivered by two companies with roughly equal output
midnightmagic: Some users did get their units outside of jgarzik and the btc foundation.
mircea_popescu: and 2. that these are producing each less than about half the network
Bowjob: yeah there was this chinese dude that didnt tell the forums
mircea_popescu: Bowjob there were some who did report privately. i knew of a few.
Bowjob: so avalon did deliver, they are late for the rest though, since their deadline was by march 1st
Bowjob: theres this one dude at the forums offering $10000 for an avalon
Bowjob: if bfl fails to deliver, batch 2 avalon will ship
Bowjob: no, its just some random dude at the forums
Bowjob: offering to buy an avalon for $10000
mircea_popescu: this is a little more than what asicminer increased. so... he's about in the market atm.
Chaang-Noi: i would odds are pay $10k for a working alalon that was right here right now.
Chaang-Noi: at current rates, and bfl wont get there in that time...
Bowjob: when will bfl realistically ship?..
mircea_popescu: i would pay 1300 dollars within 60 days for a delivered and guaranteed asic.
mircea_popescu: what i do with it is nobody's business, what the heck is this.
Bowjob: i mean, 200 BTC.. thats says no on bitbet
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't pay 10k for a computer just because i can make 10k on a computer in 15 days
BitHub: i'm intrested in that film stuff you were saying the other day mircea
BitHub: where you doing a commercial for mpex?
Chaang-Noi: not paying something for $10k when you could odds are get $50k from it in 3 months?
BitHub: you were going to film a renactment or osmething
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi nope. i pay by costs not by what seller judges "i might make"
Bowjob: mhm, i find it good news that the asics that were shipped took a week only
mircea_popescu: BitHub o, the gumpys. i never cancelled, the other party vanished.
Bowjob: considering its from china
Chaang-Noi: i doubt anyone would really sell one for only 10k
Bowjob: cant wait to get my hands on it. it even comes with gloves
Chaang-Noi: i bet asicminer shares are going to bubble soon
assbot: I thought I told you not to touch me.
Bowjob: damn chang, touching assbot
gribble: BTCUSD ticker | Best bid: 44.40666, Best ask: 44.49000, Bid-ask spread: 0.08334, Last trade: 44.94000, 24 hour volume: 40002.15598561, 24 hour low: 42.41100, 24 hour high: 44.94000, 24 hour vwap: 43.69874
Bowjob: oh.. well as for the asic
Bowjob: thats considering you convert it to fiat
Bowjob: which is very difficult for me to do
Bowjob: I wonder what people were thinking when they bought Avalon 1
Bowjob: josh said theyd deliver faster, and bfl were superior tech wise
Bowjob: .. then whats the point of avalon then
Bowjob: heck, yifu said avalon wont deliver first
Bowjob: .. did someone see through josh's lie?
mircea_popescu: Bowjob i think midnightmagic bought some, you can ask him
Bowjob: yeah midnight, if you're from batch 1
Bowjob: Yeah.. coz, back then BFL said they would deliver sooner
Bowjob: and they had better specs
Bowjob: so.. why would anyone buy from Avalon?
Bowjob: and yifu announced after bfl announced
midnightmagic: Diversity of hardware in the event of asic doomsday, ethics of ngzhang, BFL's past history of late delivery, and I've been mining since Dec '10.
midnightmagic: Heck, I was about to order one from cablepair before he went insane.
Bowjob: mhm.. the whole thing was a minefild
midnightmagic: I'm fairly sure that electricity won't be the lower bound of price for some time. The first time was market reaction to the bubble crash, and lots of doofuses predicting the death of bitcoin.
midnightmagic: and yet it.. never.. quite.. dipped below electricity costs.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic i'd guess electricity will never be the bound. fixed costs amortisation will always be larger from now on
mircea_popescu: take a while for a 60gh asic to cost 1.x k usd in electricity.
Bowjob: heck, if this becomes profitable for me I'll rent a warehouse
mircea_popescu: by then probably better units need to be bought. and so...
Bowjob: and avalon users will get credit for a trade in, yeah?
mircea_popescu: the thing is before a large portion of mining cost was hidden (as "free" expertise)
midnightmagic: Bowjob: The amusing part is, people who do that simply can't compete with the long tail of people doing for "free" in their hobby time and getting the cheap tier of residential electrical costs. :)
mircea_popescu: since now all that is being paid for, people get a much better idea of their actual costs.
midnightmagic: Bowjob: Avalon customers are getting credit for Icarus trade-in and .. the other one. Lancelot.
Bowjob: Trade in Avalon 1 for something else
Bowjob: oh well.. decades from now, it will be a collector's item
midnightmagic: "This thing made a whole bunch of money and then suddenly became completely useless!"
Bowjob: "It produced 7 BTC in its heyday"
midnightmagic: "What is it?" "Don't know, every time we plug it in it keeps trying to connect to a weird IP address and port.."
midnightmagic: I'll tell you one thing. I am *SO* looking forward to the near-future day when I can shut all my g-d miners right the hell off.
Bowjob: are you moving to LTC?
midnightmagic: I mean my GPU and FPGA. I've been itching to do some FPGA development for some time now.
midnightmagic: I don't even bother RMA'ing my GPU anymore. Total waste of time.
Bowjob: Is it viable to live off of BTC
Bowjob: It seems a crazy idea to me.. that might just work
Chaang-Noi: i was told he has 60,000 btc locked in his offline never spend coins
gribble: Error: invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)
midnightmagic: He reported having 60,000 bitcoind not in his never-spend, but in his "don't sell right now" 20% holdback from mining profits.
midnightmagic: That was before he mined for another bunch of months and then started selling his designs to unknown third parties.
midnightmagic: mrb_ came in one time and started talking about something he'd heard existed: a preimage-like attack on the hashing algo which allowed a 2x speedup algorithmically, to any miner implementing it.
midnightmagic: it would be awesome because FPGA would kill asic then.

Chaang-Noi: i expect this weeks or next weeks dividend to be awesome, and thus make more demand
BitHub: whens teh next one due?
zefir: Goat, people seem to expect ASICMINER to continue paying 2 cents dividends per week for a year, which is a bit of too much confidence imho
Chaang-Noi: zefir i think they can hold on average 10% of the network for 2 years
zefir: if they could, 0.9 is fair. still speculative
Chaang-Noi: and honestly bfl is 1.5 months away at best i think, if we get to 12 th and then 60 th, we will be killing it:)
BitHub: crazy to pay those prices for asicminer
zefir: not right, my BFLS are the most stable mining devices i had so far
Chaang-Noi: if bfl did fail on the chips it would be awesome for asicminer, we would have 50% not 10% of the network
BitHub: is there going to be a new primeasic thing?
zefir: expect there to be more competitors than BFL in July
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi about one third asicminer, one third avalon, one third old network + others
mircea_popescu: the actual asic producer has not yet been born i would guess.
Chaang-Noi: even if bfl does ship, first batch is only 25 th right? avalon is less?
mircea_popescu: avalon has about 10-20th being delivered atm and making another what, 20-50
zefir: 0.9 is tempting for a quick buck i must say. but if bitcoin as a whole takes of (like is currently doing) long term, holding some asicminer could be your retirement ;)
mircea_popescu: asicminer has a 10ish being delivered and making another 20-50

assbot: [MPEX] [O.BTCUSD.C370T] 1000 @ 0.19526866 = 195.2687 BTC [-]
Chaang-Noi: if you did $30k a year you would really live it up
Bowjob: $15,000.. thats what I earned 2 years ago as a cashier
zefir: ok, so like 10k coins and i'm done. that is 1.5BTC per ASICMINER and you see me there ;)
Bowjob: so around 4 bitcoins then
BitHub: i might do the same and go to phils
Bowjob: thats what i spend on a nice meal in vancouver
Bowjob: woudlnt it be grand if i make money here
zefir: this is too easy, there must be some hook in there
Chaang-Noi: my 3 bed room house with garden and all that is only $160 a month rent
Bowjob: then spend it in some 3rd world country
Bowjob: why dont u just buy it
BitHub: that's what i would do if i was bored
BitHub: then you cant get that bored
BitHub: you just dont know how to have fun with your money
toffoo: how did you retire the first time?
zefir: Goat, it can't be that easy. but well, my problem is my wife will not follow to Thailand, so i'm out for now :(
BitHub: you can get about 10 wives in thailand
Chaang-Noi: ahh zefir i got a thai wife, thats the smart way to do it:)
zefir: maybe, but not the one wife you get used to ;)
BitHub: doesn't that get boring?
BitHub: like watching the same movie over and over and over again every day?
zefir: you mean the only one wife?
Chaang-Noi: bithub is right, you can have more than one here, in thai they even have words for ranking them
BitHub: if i send you some btc
zefir: no, can't complain. it is a give and take - she also has to watch the same tv show
BitHub: can you jsut buy thai women for me and put them all in a house?
toffoo: well i imagine you'll retire a second time from mpex someday soon,
Chaang-Noi: in thailand you can only rent thai women, however you can buy women from outher countries
mircea_popescu: zefir BitHub i guess there's about 20 years keeping you apart.
toffoo: just curious how you did it the first time .. before bitcoin
BitHub: how old are you mate? :)
mircea_popescu: toffoo i sold everythign and went to costa rica, basically.
BitHub: heh i heard that's the best place to setup a company
BitHub: is that why you went to costa?
mircea_popescu: well eventually you have enough of playing poker with aging american expats
mircea_popescu: the rum was good, the aguacate nice, the mango fantastic an so on
toffoo: missing the good life back in romania?
BitHub: because you cant cash out a million dollars worth of btc?
BitHub: i'm bored but i'm poor
mircea_popescu: cause how bored you are depends on what you're doing not on how rich you are.
BitHub: its all about the numbers baby
BitHub: if you're rich and bored you don't deserve to have money
mircea_popescu: there's only so much flan a person can eat, to quote one of the recent billionaires.
BitHub: well first step i would look at all the people in my life, family and really close friends and solve all their money problems
mircea_popescu: within a coupla years they'll have worse money problems.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason they have them now, and that reason ain't the aliens.
BitHub: that's true, good thing i've got no friends so i would just help my family
BitHub: i'm pretty sure i would be dead within a month, i would just go to psycho with the money
BitHub: driving pass people throwing wads of cash at them
mircea_popescu: ya well, that's the thing. takes a lot of brains to be rich and bored in the end.
mircea_popescu: most dumbasses that win the lottery end up dead / in jail / poor again
BitHub: i guess its boring when you're not just burning through it without caring
BitHub: that's when its really fun
mircea_popescu: no, that's when it's really obvious how empty/pointless/mindless you really are.
BitHub: not really, sometimes just dont care
BitHub: um what else, probably hire 100 social media trolls and have them in a office and just kick back and watch them troll certain celebs or public figures
BitHub: actually mircea i would just be making movies
BitHub: that would be really fun to me
BitHub: ahh okey hmm retirement lets see, all you can do is just travel the world hey getting into adventures, meeting random girls
BitHub: definitly got to check out alot more countries in my time :)

Bowjob: I told him I'll sell him $100 worth for 2 BTC. They wanted 5. They could have gotten 5+ from me back in Jan

That is 0.22BTC/share of gross income in eight months.

mjr_: cool thats what i was figuring
mjr_: lol i just realized that i had kleopatra installed already and i was doing everything from the command line
mjr_: yeah i figured someone was hedging something with those
benkay: all the way down to 47...
mircea_popescu: if coinlab etc had a clue they could actually insure their coins
mircea_popescu: so they could deliver to customers rather than cancel orders
Bowjob: put options.. meaning they expect btc prices to go down.. to 47?
mircea_popescu: person is basically saying "btc will stay over 50 the entire month, and maybe even over 55"
mircea_popescu: you can tell cause the bids were taken out not the asks
mjr_: no selling a put = buying a call
mjr_: if you are "short" a put

mjr_: so if you think something is going up you can sell puts and collect premiums and buy calls as well
Bowjob: nice recovery on havelock
Bowjob: i sold at 0.75, lets see what happens
mjr_: some people sell puts in order to buy calls (lowers their cost)
Bowjob: They should have taught me this in hs
Bowjob: but if they taught me about this in hs, there wont be time for shakespear

benkay: the whole education stack needs to be online
Bowjob: and i put it in bitcoins
mjr_: but not when you have rampant inflation
Bowjob: before they blew up from 13 dollars
mjr_: so in your case smart
Bowjob: and i did put in what i can lose and just write off
benkay: don't fixate on short term

mod6: depth output successful
kakobrekla: is that in and out going to be a casual thing ?

mjr_: lol it hasn't worked for me
Bowjob: Stupid move on my part, I sold 10k LTC
Chaang-Noi: it works but like cpu mining in btc dont do it:)
Bowjob: maybe I should buy back

pizzaman1337: every time the bot puts up more blocks they're taken out
mjr_: mircea_popescu: i have to imagine that your bot buys them as part of a hedging strategy
Namworld: Who's selling that amount of puts...
mod6: sorry guys, just a few more tests..
mjr_: no worries...to be honest, i think you can just turn off showing joins and parts
mjr_: i know you can in colloquy, but not sure about MIRC
kakobrekla: but thats like turning off 1 satoshi txes
mjr_: no i didn't mean you
pizzaman1337: in order for that person to "cash out" they need to buy puts back, right?
mjr_: i meant you can send them, but i can not display them
pizzaman1337: and what exactly happens when they autoexercise?
mjr_: do they always autoexercise?
mjr_: thought they would only do that if they are in the money
mjr_: they probably will just expire worthless
pizzaman1337: but if they expire worthless, than means they made pure profit because they don't have to buy back worthless options?
mircea_popescu: mjr_ well, if they're not in the money they just dissapear
mircea_popescu: if btc goes to like 55 and stays htere, all the btc he got selling he keeps
assbot: [BTCTC] [ASICMINER-PT] 1 @ 0.85 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: if btc goes to 40, he's on the hook for the difference
pizzaman1337: what if the diff is greater than the amount of money he has?
mjr_: you technically expose yourself to unlimited liability when you write options (at least calls)
mjr_: but usually you have to have something to back against the most likely scenario
mjr_: thats why i was wondering the specific collateral requirements
Namworld: With a call, you need to put up 1 BTC collateral so it's always 100% covered
mjr_: it varies doesn't it?
Namworld: For calls, their value tends toward 1. For puts tho, their value tends toward the infinite.
mjr_: hmmm yes when writing them
Namworld: For example, if price becomes 1/1000 of the put's strike, the put would be worth 1000 BTC
Namworld: If it goes to a lower fraction, even more.
mjr_: my point is that since you COULD be on the hook for millions of bitcoins
mjr_: how many are required
Namworld: They're not fully covered. It would require infinite BTC.
mjr_: but what is the capital requirement
mircea_popescu: pizzaman1337 it can't be, cause he deposits collateral
Namworld: It varies depending on strike and current rate/BTC
mircea_popescu: Namworld they are fully covered, since you do put up enough btc to cover for the put in usd atthe time you write it
mjr_: just for example...let's say the vwap hits $100
mjr_: and you sold puts at $50
mjr_: wait reverse that lol
gribble: Error: "48.5" is not a valid command.
gribble: There are currently 17873.054 bitcoins offered at or under 48.5 USD, worth 863731.319966 USD in total. | Data vintage: 44.7354 seconds
kakobrekla: maybe from the sam guy who sold the puts
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu: I think I understand it all, thanks. I'll have to give it a shot sometime.
mjr_: so anyway, let's say the vwap is 50 and you sell puts at 50, the price drops to 25
pizzaman1337: kakobrekla: but wouldln't that person want the price to increase?
kakobrekla: yes pizzaman1337, 04:37.38 ( kakobrekla ) now to be removed
mjr_: each contract would be liable for 2 bitcoins right?
Namworld: AActually in my example earlier, I think it should have been 999 BTC
Namworld: you get your fraction with x and remove 1 to that.
Namworld: Since at strike value, the put has 0 value.
mjr_: my point is just this...if you sold the put, and the price goes up 10x
Namworld: put is worth 0 so 0 collateral is eaten.
mjr_: but if it drops to 0
mjr_: i think i see what mircea was saying
Namworld: So you must pay an infinity of worthless BTC...
jborkl: you can only write covered options, no naked
pizzaman1337: "You don't hold enough assets to trade even one single unit of that MPSIC. Sad, sad, sad." < lulz
mircea_popescu: fortunately because btc is small and fiart is large it is kinda trivial for me to insure against that
mircea_popescu: so if btc goes to zero outstanding puts just get setrtled in fiat
mircea_popescu: anyway if btc is zero nobody would want to be settled in btc
Namworld: except you pay infinity x 0 USD per BTC...
mjr_: i am going to do some exploring on a pairs strategy
Namworld: if the price is 0.01 and strike is 1, you pay 99 BTC at 0.01 cent each...
Namworld: The lower the price goes, the more you owe. But the less the BTC costs to cover those larger BTC amounts.
mjr_: although that is true...
mjr_: technically if you need btc in order to unwind your position
mjr_: and have to buy it on the open market
mjr_: someone would have to sell it
mjr_: and if you are obligated to buy a lot
mjr_: you could be pushing the price up
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO)
assbot: !mp <signcrypted dpaste.com url> (desc: returns the response from MPEX order)
mjr_: i was going to say that the other possibility is that you can cover the position very easily with another option
mjr_: if you sell one call for every put
mjr_: i meant buy a call for each put sold
mod6: hmm, ok well anyway, it works, kinda.
mod6: needs more work, but gotta run for now lol
mjr_: i was just looking at the last one, really great job mod6
bgupta: Hey is it ontopic to discuss pricing of bitcoin denominates securities in this channel?
bgupta: mostly wondering about ASICMINER share and their passthrough derivates.
mjr_: lol its all we talk about really
mjr_: bitcoin is finance porn
benkay: bitcoin is disruptive tech porn
mjr_: mod6: no prob, it is really really cool
mod6: right on heheh. its awesome just to see it work, kinda lol
mjr_: whats interesting is that we are sending our GET requests via irc
mjr_: and retrieving a dynamic web page at a different address
mjr_: i think that is really cool
mod6: oh, so the bummer so far is... i maybe shouldn't have done a commit in there and had left those files to be still able to interface with mpex or a proxy in a way thats outward facing... if that ever happens again
mod6: cause with that, it was still tor capable
mod6: so i'll probably just re-introduce those files if/when that happens so tor may be utililzed
bgupta: so back when btw rallied from zero to about 10 it caught my attention… and I made a decision to invest in gnu mining gear. by the time I got my gear up and running it had spiked up to to 30+ and then crashed… I ran my rigs at a loss for almost a year, but when the algorithm changed, I decided that investing the wrk to reprogram them was a loser and shut it all down.. I managed to hang onto a minuscule 500 b
mjr_: i kinda thought that maybe you could host the website on tor with no order functionality
mod6: anyway, just thought yall should know what was happening.
bgupta: held it fallow for the past year or so… but the recent spike in price got me wondering if spinning up made sense (I decided no since the a sic stuff is imminent)
mod6: mjr_: that is pretty neat-o huh :)
mjr_: do you get cheap electricity bgupta?
mjr_: mircea_popescu: also i can host a mirror if you like...it will be pretty tough for them to take out a GAE instance
mod6: ok, i'll reintroduce those files with needed changes as that approches. that'll be awesome
bgupta: In the past no, unfortunately…. now… I have a partner willing to pay electricity if I provide hardware and we split proceeds 50/50.. I think it's a loser for him though.. mircea_popescu yes sorry not reading what I am typing..
mod6: i have basically only accessed mpex over tor since you moved it all over to that early last year
mod6: its always been fast for me
mircea_popescu: if by hardware you mean gpus bgupta it's a loser for him. and prolly for you too.
mjr_: well...not really for him, if he alrady has the hardware
bgupta: well… they are paid for… so not really
mjr_: he will just get to keep half of the small number of bitcoins he gets
bgupta: the loss will be a day of my time figuring out how to setup the softare
mod6: any amt of satoshi will be signifigant eventually
mjr_: i thought you already had it running?
mjr_: i am debating installing visual studio 2012 on my home computer
bgupta: I had it running was paying way to much for hosting in a real datacenter.. so shut it down last april when they changed the algorithm,,
mjr_: what do you mean changed the algorithm?
mjr_: if you mean when the pay rate halved
bgupta: mmm… existing miners had to upgrade the software..
bgupta: let me see if i can find the deets
bgupta: yeah bitcoind changed… and all pools and miners had to upgrade
bgupta: my pool at the time didn't upgrade and shutdown.. and since I was losing close to 50% at the time (due to the ridiculously low price of btw at the time) I followed them
assbot: Have you got any tobacco?
assbot: You had the last Philistine. This one's mine.
bgupta: I probably mined close to 10k coins while I had my rigs up.. but only managed to walk away with 500 btw after all was said and done..

Bowjob: mhm. what will happen to SR when mt gox stops their service to NA
bgupta: Guessing NA is north america?
Chaang-Noi: anyone here selling off some of their btc and buying something crazy? or are we all just holing untill $1000 plus?
dub: Chaang-Noi: im thinking about turnign some asicminer into a truck
bgupta: I am willing to sell my premium domain for 4000 btc..
Bowjob: it better start with mt. and and with gox
Chaang-Noi: dub i did that already, traded my car in and got a truck
bgupta: If it was USD I'd want a bit more, but it is a digital only transaction, so I'm willing to do it for a little less
bgupta: unfortunately the folks that would be interested don't deal in btc
bgupta: Quick question in the flow… Are BitFunder, btct.co and apex the main securities exchanges ATM?
bgupta: $0… registered it before they charged for registering domains..
bgupta: been paying whatever a year for the standard domain registration..
Chaang-Noi: im sure its a good name but you are going to have to hit the right people to get that much out of it
bgupta: well I had it appraised for $250,000.. but to sell it, i'd need to put a lot of time into adverttising, and likely need to retain a domain broker.. and then take a huge hit on taxes..
bgupta: realistically if I tried I could probably pocket close to $200,000
bgupta: It's the most valuable thing I own, and it goes up about 7% a year in value
bgupta: (Well other than my apt)
mjr_: my friend who owns an it consulting company said that that is his biggest regret
mircea_popescu: and wth, it boggles that anyone'd pay 200k for a domain.
bgupta: well not an individual for sure..
bgupta: think startup or large company
mjr_: 200k is not much for a big company
bgupta: they don't even allow people to register two letter domains any more.
mjr_: i meant as part of a budget involving web presence
bgupta: memorable domains are getting harder to come by...
mjr_: that is a scarce resource
mjr_: when i was looking into getting a domain name for my site
benkay: ad buys are made by advertisers
benkay: they don't think like that
mjr_: it is hard to get a one word domain
mircea_popescu: no "memorable domain" has a site worth anything on it.
mjr_: and getting those domains
benkay: coca cola's ad company isn't smart enough for that shit
Chaang-Noi: i hold tygrr.com and bitcoins.lc not really worth a whole lot.
benkay: they're herd followers
mjr_: i got btcshares.com
mircea_popescu: did any of the large btc players bother with it ? nope.
mjr_: bitcoins are still very new
mjr_: i bet that domain will be very valuable in the future
mircea_popescu: there's people in btc that can afford 200k for a domain.
mircea_popescu: i bet it will be very valuable in the sense 10 bucks are very valuable.
benkay: their capital is best put to work in profitable ventures
bgupta: well we are a bit different in that we use irc and weirdly named forums for most of our info. we seek out knowledge
dub: btc.com is too generic, like dollar.com
dub: you don't want that for a brand
bgupta: yeah the problem with too generic is they aren't trademarkable.
bgupta: which means you can't build a company or a brand around them
dub: sex.com sold for $14mn in 2010
benkay: spend your energy on creating value
dub: insure.com for $16mn
benkay: capture a small fraction
benkay: don't wager with your life work
mjr_: typically we think of being creative
dub: man up and use it for a shock site tbh
bgupta: yeah.. I've been holding it, because one day when I do a startup, I want a unique domain name to do it with.
mjr_: but that is way harder for some people than just throwing money at stuff
benkay: that domain's taking up too much of your brainspace
mjr_: i am just saying that domains are valuable, cuz people want them
benkay: if you're wasting cycles on thinking about domains
mircea_popescu: <dub> sex.com sold for $14mn in 2010 << and it never generated 1mn of revenue in its entire lifetime
benkay: you're not going to be successful in running your own business
mircea_popescu: i am aware the domain name scam people are really working hard to make their coolaid credible
benkay: not in a high-competition, high-growth, environment
mjr_: benkay: that is the point, most people do not want to own their own business
mircea_popescu: but a ny times blog hit is nothing in this discussion.
benkay: i get it man, i get it
bgupta: The reality is google kinda made domain names less relevant.. that and the fact that browsers changed how they deal with stuff you type into the address bar.
benkay: doesn't mean i don't think that putting it all on a specific slot on the fucking roulette table is a good idea
dub: yeah for most people google is the address bar
benkay: i infrequently type domains
mircea_popescu: the way to go is just invent a name and use that as your tm and domains
dub: yep, and remember bookmarks? lol
bgupta: point is that if I worked really hard I could sell it for $200,000, or if I worked even harder, I could build a kick ass business with a cool domain name that's easy to type.. I have time for neither atm.
benkay: ca <arrow down> <arrow down> <enter>
benkay: aren't there things you'd enjoy working on more?
bgupta: if someone flush with btw wanted to take it off my hands I'd be cool.. but that's a side bar..
benkay: it's fucking nice to build stuff people value enough to cut checks for
bgupta: Yeah sure.. I run a LUG.. which I LOVE.
dub: its probably worht throwing a thread up about it
bgupta: I do OSS stuff, love that too
benkay: what's your profit center?
dub: the great thing about bitcoin is there is no shortage of idiots, some with too much money
benkay: true of any market of a reasonable size
mjr_: dub: yep, the market fixes that situation
bgupta: I do consulting which is a brutal business.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> it's fucking nice to build stuff people value enough to cut checks for << this.
bgupta: mmm.. to make a dollar you need to sell a body, brutal.. no real leverage, no real product.
dub: tis potentially a nice way for someone to cash out $200k of btc too
benkay: mircea_popescu: the best part is that everything i get checks for, i also learn new skills that multiply my rate
bgupta: dub what forum would I post it to if I wanted to pursue?
dub: bgupta: the bitcointalk market or auction forums
bgupta: benkay: I run a small consulting company.. it's not just me… so most of my time is spent doing business stuff not learning
benkay: i've seen that happen man
benkay: i've never seen someone run the shop and still make commits
Bowjob: stupid parents took my piano away
mircea_popescu: "Japan needs to face up to reality, and take real steps to correct its mistakes... so as to prevent a further escalation,"

benkay: i get to bill anywhere i am
benkay: boss-folks like to see my face from time to time
bgupta: I get to pick my priorities..

bgupta: been growing my lug and getting some pretty cool speakers..
benkay: what's the appeal in the lug?

bgupta: SO the muse thing that everyone bitches about the 30btc thing.. that's just a one time thing, no?
bgupta: ok.. that would make trading difficult for me if it was a trading cost.
mircea_popescu: "everyone". hm. it's more of a "everyone that's bitching about it is bitching about it".
dub: bgupta: there are lots of otc asicminer trades happening, check the auction forum
dub: bgupta: friedcat (asicminer guy) is timely about transferring etc
mircea_popescu: but yes, there's a large assignment market in it too, otc.
bgupta: err.. lot me clarify "everything that bitches" means "everyone that bitches about mpex"… I believe that's the biggest complaint. and I'm ok with it…
mircea_popescu: i thought the biggest complaint was that i'm not nice.
bgupta: I am ready to buy sink 300 some odd btw into asicminer.. these penny-ante exchanges aren't quite cutting it.
bgupta: very cool. sorry for being oversharing.
bgupta: (Realising that 300 btw is penny-ante)
bgupta: the sharing of internet complaints..
Bowjob: I'll warn them next time they try to pull this shit again, I will yell at them so that all the guests will hear it.
mircea_popescu: lol that's not a problem, the internet was born to kvetch
bgupta: mircea_popescu: are your trades listed publicly? IE: do I need to buy in to see traffic?
bgupta: fuck it's all a gamble
mircea_popescu: all the earlier excitement about the trading puts for instance
mircea_popescu: twitter.com/mpex1 or you could just follow the twitter.

Diablo-D3: the newest version of foundation actually looks nice
Diablo-D3: too many flakey devices that get css wrong
Namworld: What? How would it not be worth it?
Namworld: That's not even a good reason.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: if you want your website to look correct on every device ever, yes, it is a good reason
Namworld: The same can be done manually...
Namworld: Plus bootstrap doesn't support everything...
Diablo-D3: bootstrap supports everything worthwhile
Diablo-D3: and supports a lot of older mobile browsers that really should just be tossed in the trash
Diablo-D3: dude, I've written frameworks like bootstrap and foundation before, you haven't
Diablo-D3: its a pain in the fucking ass, and not worth wasting your time on

Diablo-D3: but yeah, storing your blog statically in git and then outsourcing the comments to a service
Diablo-D3: would really cut down on the bullshit

Rick__: when will it be back on line?
Namworld: No one can know... it's being DDoS'ed
Namworld: Whenever however is DDoS'ing it stops.
Rick__: mircea cant do anything with the "ddos"?
Rick__: what if the ddosing wont stop?
jurov: i'm working on bringing mpex.coinbr.com onlinw with amazing powers
jurov: hopefully others, too
Rick__: looking forword to have mpex.coinbr.com back
mircea_popescu: Rick__ as i said, there;'s more hardware coming online, and meanwhile trading works through the bots
mircea_popescu: also possibly of interest to you, FabianB has released an equivalent of pympex capable of going through the irc bots
smickles: mircea_popescu: would you mind if '$vwap s.dice' returned what one might expect?
smickles: ooh, what's this FabianB thing?
FabianB: smickles: it's like pympex
FabianB: just a little smoother interface, more features and can talk to the irc bots
mircea_popescu: Mar 09 23:23:07 <mircea_popescu> kakobrekla : can you make assbot ticker identifier to be hungry ?
mircea_popescu: Mar 09 23:23:13 <mircea_popescu> such as !ticker m C600T
pigeons: did you turn normal during your time away from irc smickles?
Rick__: mircea,I can read English,but lots of computer things I dont understand,it's very diffcult for me
mircea_popescu: Rick__ ok. basically, don't panic, we're working on it. even if ddos never stops.
pigeons: Rick__: do you need some trades executed now?
Rick__: just care about the website
pigeons: yes, we all cared about her, she's very pretty
Rick__: I invest hundreds of coin in it
Rick__: so basicly,when will it be back on line?do you have a schedule?
FabianB: problem with GUIs is that its majority of users are ms windows users
Rick__: If you thing I can understand
mircea_popescu: Rick__ ok lets see. suppose you have a shop somewhere. you make ok money selling things in your shop.
mircea_popescu: one day a customer comes in and says "hi i want to buy a carrot".
mircea_popescu: your shop doesn't sell carrots. you tell him this. he leaves.
mircea_popescu: the next day, 167`855`212 peopel come to your shop. each of them goes "hi i want to buy a carrot".
mircea_popescu: the police wants to fine you because your shop is blocking the traffic
Rick__: okay,that's making sence
Rick__: yeah,want shot somebody!
mircea_popescu: ok so, what you do is either make a much larger shop, or make the shop location secret, or both.
mircea_popescu: i am doing both. however, building a supermarket is not instantaneous.
Rick__: so the carrot here,what exacly the hacker do ,
mircea_popescu: it should have been online by yest, but we ran into supplier problems. that's detailed here :
Rick__: okay,thank you very much
pigeons: dunno, i've played with OGLE for capturing geometry
FabianB: mircea_popescu: probably, but opengl is good for games and maybe charts, but not so much for normal guis

smickles: FabianB: looks nice, and good thing to add the ability to go via IRC :)
mircea_popescu: i understand that, but i mean... if it can do that why couldn't it do some window boxes
smickles: mircea_popescu: did kako say he wasn't going to make assbot 'hungry'?

mircea_popescu: FabianB well if you use win stuff for instance, that won't be compilable in linux
mircea_popescu: if mpex gui ends up as a wine supported thing ima shoot myself
pigeons: yeah wine has a lib for exactly that, building cross-platform gui apps
smickles: lol, opengl. Let's make a 3d gui for mpex. heh, or maybe something like a minecraft interface to mpex :D
gabridome: thank you mircea that was really illuminating:"the next day, 167`855`212 peopel come to your shop. each of them goes "hi i want to buy a carrot".
Namworld: Well that's pretty much what a DDoS is.
pigeons: i could go for telnet to an mpex mud
smickles: mircea_popescu: yeah, i've got a minecraft server
Namworld: Except the people are mindless zombies controlled by a hacker.
smickles: well, it's tekkit, specifically
mircea_popescu: smickles what do you want to build a mpex hq on minecraft ?

gabridome: FabianB: I've succeded to compile it with the new version of Xcode!!! Now it gives me errors about No definition for rb_s_gpgme* maybe is the ruby version...
deadweasel: benkay: it's an AGILE/SCRUM team about 12 big, doing vetconnectplus.com
FabianB: gabridome: with xcode? ok.
FabianB: gabridome: well, you need > 1.9
deadweasel: it aggregates data from local vetinary machines and labs sent to regional labs, displays it altogether one historical graphs for vetinary diagnoses
FabianB: and gpg needs to installed
benkay: WHAT DEADWEASAL LETS GET BEERS
benkay: assuming you're working out of the idexx facility in portland
gabridome: Sincerly FabianB: thank you for your assistance but to manage more than one version of ruby or to compile Ruby on a non Linux environment is much further my knowledge. I'll wait a bit if brew issue a new formula for Ruby
FabianB: if i'm around i like to help, but i probably won't support 1.8, since it's old and no good irc libs out for it
FabianB: also in a high speed train right now, not really stable internet :)
gabridome: yeah I guessed it. better to wait for better libs

Josh_Rossi: i had a long discussion with someone about how online identities may become much more valuable than social security numbers or drivers licenses
Josh_Rossi: you don't use them as often as you go online
vampireb: that's why you start creating few seperate identities
Josh_Rossi: and for the most part in real life, people trust you to be you cuz you look the same
mircea_popescu: moreover, if i lost my id i would be meh, send someone to get a new one
Josh_Rossi: is there some sort of certificate system?
Josh_Rossi: like key signing? or does gribble basically do that for us
Josh_Rossi: i mean fulfill the role that a key signing party would have fulfilled
Josh_Rossi: i literally feel like i'm living cryptonomicon
Josh_Rossi: i assume that everyone has read or is aware of that book...but if not it is amazing book about cryptography and digital currencies that was written before btc took off i think
Josh_Rossi: yes, does the WoT take the role of a key signing party
mircea_popescu: rather than the nominalist approach, try the functional
dub: no, wot is just a wot
Josh_Rossi: or i guess more accurately, learn more about how trust and cryptography are related
Josh_Rossi: i saw MPOE-PR show a sig that verified that she was authorized to speak on behalf of MPOE
Josh_Rossi: but it also said something like "this message is signed by this key, but that does not mean that it is really him"
mircea_popescu: what they mean is, anyone can create a key which would be named "Joe"
Josh_Rossi: someone with access to that private key
mircea_popescu: however, you didn't identify the key by it being named joe
FabianB: Josh_Rossi: yeah stephensons cryptonomicon is a fantastic book
Josh_Rossi: i guess they are saying that while that key is definitely valid
Josh_Rossi: and in your case, it is known that that is your key
Josh_Rossi: all i know is that they say "this is my pub key"
mircea_popescu: originally these keys were invented for and used by people whose real world presence was more important to each other
Josh_Rossi: just checking if i understood it correctly
Josh_Rossi: i trust that they key i used was really you
dub: for us it doesnt matter if its really him
Josh_Rossi: and then i can see that the key actually signed that statement
dub: or that he is who he says he is
mircea_popescu: you're not really verifying that the key is really this bloke in timisoara you couldn't care less about
mircea_popescu: you're really veryifying that the key signing here is the same key signing there
mircea_popescu: so it's an identity in that more mathematical sense, not in the more psychological sense of the term.
Josh_Rossi: that is what i was trying to say, that it is consistent across different channels
Josh_Rossi: the same person who runs mpex also wrote a statement saying that mpoe-pr is authorized to speak on its behalf
mircea_popescu: if that matches, it could be called obama for all you care.
Josh_Rossi: i'm trying to build a ticker now using websockets

mircea_popescu: i always tghought js and c# are practically the same thing

pizzaman1337: MJR_: I asked saurik about that once, let me see if I can find his response
MJR_: I've never bought one thing there
MJR_: cuz too much hassle and don't want my cc info floating around
assbot: [BTCTC] [BTC-TRADING-PT] 1 @ 0.19879 BTC [+]

MJR_: on their donation page
MJR_: I was going to get a cloak
MJR_: pizzaman1337: lol taxes
MJR_: what chan are they usually on?
pizzaman1337: if he needed to convert it to fiat to payout devs, it might not be unavoidable
dub: MJR_: just ask in #freenode
MJR_: pizzaman1337: sucks
MJR_: also, anonymous...also seems like an obvious fit
MJR_: and perhaps they are using it
MJR_: they are after all anonymous
MJR_: but you would think they would be more vocal as they hate banks etc

MJR_: was not referring to their skill
MJR_: but rather their inferred ideals
dub: it requires at least as much skill to use bitcoins as breath through ones nose
dub: which excludes anyone that refers to themself as anon
MJR_: dub: wait, not sure if you mean it's easy or hard
dub: its harder than hitting f5
BitHub: even for people who aren't totally noob at internet
MJR_: but I think it's relatively easy
MJR_: the hardest part is getting btc
BitHub: that is getting harder
MJR_: and that is only hard because of lame banks and difficulty of moving money

jurov: seems like everyone else is too afraid to get listed?
mircea_popescu: jurov you get the standing ovation of being the only one there for a bit :D
mircea_popescu: but anyway, anyone writing code for mpex interfacing, bear the list in mind.
smickles: mircea_popescu and myself can add to the list with $proxies <pastebin paste key to a signed json array of proxies>
mircea_popescu: the end scenario here is that the internet ends but mpex survives by now.
smickles: let me pull out my 8000 baud modem
smickles: the-bucket-shop: no, next step, global meshnet
MJR_: smickles: that would be awesome
dub: someone was talking about a bitcoin over ham radio protocol a while bac
smickles: with nodes receiving their due in bitcoin for opperating
dub: but a network of phone numbers with modems would be really easy
MJR_: but I think at least in urban areas
MJR_: wifi will work best
jurov: don't forget to throw some fax numbers in the mix
smickles: multi-frequency mesnet. hams could jump the long distances, wifi for cities
smickles: ham > 250 or w/o line of site < 250
the-bucket-shop: i was sitting on sidelines for mpoe shares until I watched you guys knock this thing up. I'm a shareholder now because of it…
MJR_: bandwidth is no problem
dub: dialup nodes should already be there tbh
MJR_: the-bucket-shop: welcome :)
dub: costs nothing but a phone number
dub: much more resilient than internet and most radio
MJR_: well...relies on existing infrastructure under others control
mircea_popescu: actually the plan was to have tcp/ip reimpremented over pigeons
☟︎ dub: no different to anything else
dub: and pstn still stays up well after teh lights go out (mostly)
smickles: see, that's why meshnet is awesome, you contribute what you have, even if it is just a pigeon
MJR_: well a community could implement a wireless mesh network under their control
smickles: it all falls down to power tho
dub: MJR_: thats other peoples infrastructure too
smickles: they can stop shipments of gas
MJR_: I meant AT&T not your neighbor
jurov: let us bouce teh orderz from ionosphere
dub: only ham works in that case
smickles: solar and wind power would be easily spotted,dissappeared
MJR_: bitcoin in a walking dead type world
smickles: we're just fucked. lets stop now
dub: walking dead world only takes a few years to resolve though
smickles: mircea_popescu: what's the scribbles mean on that?
dub: theres what 400k people in america?
BitHub: is that who did the ddos?
dub: probably at least that many bullets in your avg small town
MJR_: dub: 400k in America?
pizzaman1337: google translate says "It turned out that the Chinese people do ah! Mailboxes are"
smickles: most people with guy fawkes masks want to overthrow the gov't and replace it w/ a theocracy. just like guy fawkes, right?
MJR_: smickles: not that I know of
MJR_: dub: there u go lol, I was confused
dub: still, not that many zombies to clean up
smickles: MJR_: so why do they wear guy fawkes masks?
dub: smickles: because they want to hit f5
BitHub: betsotbitcoin who ddos mpex?
dub: that scientology raid has a lot to answer for
dub: there is no mask wearing legion
MJR_: anti-cyber-surveillance;
MJR_: they apparently want to fight against banks, religions that are mean, and govt spying
MJR_: but there was some overlap
MJR_: anti-cyber-surveillance;
pizzaman1337: I'm assuming the options with ids ending in "T" are "this month" and "N" are "next month"?
pizzaman1337: it might be a good idea to put that in the FAQ, didn't see it there
dub: fighting against govt spying is just trolling
smickles: i loved it when some guy said that the options' ids were needlessly complicated and incomprehensible... i pointed out an option on google. i won.
dub: govt has been looking at everything for a long time
dub: that cow is out the gate
smickles: dub: cow tipping is a prized sport where i come from
dub: THATs why the right to bear arms is so important
dub: you need arms to tip a cow
dub: how are you going to open the gate?
MJR_: lol, I don't understand the logic in maintaining a "right" from the people you need that right to protect yourself from
[\\\]: Cow gates aren't complicated.
MJR_: govt. give me the right to have a gun, so that I can stop you from taking my gun?
[\\\]: Its not like they've got combo dials
dub: MJR_: neither, its like but you elected them?
smickles: MJR_: well, it started out from the perspective that gov't should be subserviant (sp?) to individuals
MJR_: to me, it is seeming like gives are increasingly less relevant
smickles: the right doesn't come from the gov't
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 1 @ 0.57 BTC [-]
MJR_: point being, what they choose to do doesn't matter
MJR_: only brought up govt bc most people in murica refer to the 2nd amendment
dub: [\\\]: you've got to lift the little springy bit holding the chain latching teh gate shut
smickles: MJR_: thing is, the 2nd amendment doesn't prevent them from taking the guns, it just prevents them from making a law to prohibit gun ownership
MJR_: if you trust them to follow rules...

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla so intrade is shut down. where's all the experts advising bitbet should be more like intrade ?
smickles: a good copy of that book is worth upwards of 100 usd now iirc
mircea_popescu: that's what i want to know. for all the posturing and pretense when they're wrong but don't know it yet,
mircea_popescu: where's the humility and apologetics when it's proven they were in fact wrong ?
smickles: mircea_popescu: not likely, imsa is quite a good troll
[\\\]: I made no comments about intrade or bitbet
mircea_popescu: there was this one guy, jesus, i even blogged about him

[\\\]: is that bible 2.0?
smickles: wait, bitcoin jesus was an actual topic?
mircea_popescu: nono, this guy explaining to me the virtues of intradelineness
smickles: not just a joke the other day?

MJR_: I like that chick from RT
[\\\]: smickles, I knew what you meant. You're well paste neat, trending towards sloppy.
mircea_popescu: [\\\] he';s not sloppy, shampoo is just very expensive where he lives.
[\\\]: Whatever happened to all of the different bitcoin vblogs?
[\\\]: There used to be all of these different 'shows'
MJR_: avoid the keiser report
[\\\]: back when coins were like 'free'
smickles: lol, mircea_popescu my wife just told me to wash my hair too

smickles: may 15 2011, was when that howto was posted
BitHub: can i pay miner fees in ltc instead?
smickles: miner fees? like bitcoin tx fees?
smickles: jesus fuck, bitcoin was under 6 usd on may 11 2011. leveraging amazon cloud would made bank

MJR_: is this to be our rockefellers and Astors?

Franktank: Dividend payout, increased resale value, etc
mircea_popescu: by historical resale value s.mpoe, indubitably. it opened like 2.9k satoshi, now trading 75s
mircea_popescu: by dividend payout s.dice, it paid out something like 68k btc so far
mircea_popescu: course s.bbet also saw some crazy appreciation but most of it happened on ipo day
smickles: mircea_popescu: do you recall what was in that bag?

jurov: mircea_popescu perhaps not fully in this situation
mircea_popescu: ok, it's like this. suppose the three main dealers are A, B and C.
mircea_popescu: a, b and c go through their books, see what customers want, see what they want on their own account

jurov: to be mitigated using .... RAID???
gesell: why not host some static pages on free cloud services?
jcpham: that's not good enough mircea_popescu
jcpham: we'll need a graph or something
mircea_popescu: gesell you can use the proxy listed in topic or else the irc bots to trade
jurov: yes... but it looked liike i'm ddosed
gesell: mircea_popescu: proxy is fine. just curious the logic. seems that loosing the face of mpex (which the web presense is part of) would make some question
gesell: mircea_popescu: the questions are natural for investors. and also natural to want more details...
mircea_popescu: gesell surely. there's been ample disucssion here and also reports regularly posted in the forum.
gesell: if its ddos, whats the plan. just no web presence?
dub: its raining in the cloud today
dub: jurov: you did tick the persistent storage box rite? don't do a poland
jurov: dub yes that was first thing i checked
jurov: mircea_popescu, pretty much. except keys and such
jurov: i did except flaky performance...but 25 second I/O delays causing whole machine to drop connections? er, uhm.
mircea_popescu: "We got the server rebuilt. Issues as expected. It's working in RAID 10 right now. I know you said RAID 6 but before we take this down again, can you live with 10?"

jcpham: mircea_popescu when does rota get paid
jcpham: you can pay me quarterly, I'm fine with it
jcpham: what if you can't afford it by then
jurov: jcpham, go to btcjam and show them your proof of employment
jurov: "employed" in rota
jcpham: why would i even have a btcjam account
jcpham: i heard they loan liquidity to an exchange
jurov: haha... ashamed, better forgot
mircea_popescu: jcpham i wouldn't wory about that, it's kinda like coinlab bringing rupees to wall street
jurov: no they're all about bahts, have you seen the symbol?

jcpham: the op of the asicminer pool decided to fork his pool for a few minutes
dub: not commiserate with teh ideals of bitcoin, kind of person bitcoin does not need.. The person is blatantly and willfully violating the trust of Bitcoin network and for that he/she should be reprimanded.
jcpham: so while bitcoind was running with no db
jcpham: i assume the miners were doing diff 0 shares
jcpham: until the hot wallet was empty
mircea_popescu: gesell mail is not nuts. mail is the strongest, oldest and in general best service ever implemented on the internet.
dub: I didn't think bitcoind offered work until it was synced
jborkl_: I think it would have been network diff at the point of the blockchain download you were mining
gesell: mircea_popescu: yes mail is but using google as a trusted host gate, not sure
jcpham: i upgraded bitcoind today
jcpham: dunno how a pool handles the resync
jborkl_: at block 195000 it was i think 1.95 m for example
jborkl_: so while he was dl, blocks would have been synching fast- but mining at 200k diff
FabianB: mircea_popescu: also proxy discovery included now :)

pigeons: if you dont give it back you will
FabianB: mircea_popescu: it's just the conversation of MPEx.rb with the irc bots, not of this channel
jcpham: if the pool with the most hashrate is mining on a non -up-to-date copy of the blockchain
mircea_popescu: dub they will have to sue for unjust enrichment. they may win it,
gesell: mircea_popescu: why not use google spreadsheets for graphs and orderbook review?
pigeons: which is why mp lost in his own hand picked rota
gesell: in that scenerio you would script updates (not pull from an api, as this might overrun google apps limits)
mircea_popescu: pigeons not really true. they always will try to convince the person to return it
mircea_popescu: but afaik such claims are rare. usually cost more to sue than they'd get
pigeons: really, absoulutely trye. give me one example where its not
mircea_popescu: gesell you can go right ahead, or what are you asking ?
kakobrekla: i have seen it happen here and the bank gets the money back one way or another
pigeons: ive seen plenty where it is true, none where it isnt
mircea_popescu: pigeons you've seen a case where a bank sued the recipient of an error for unjust enrichment ?

dub: bank fucks up, give it back or the police come get you
gesell: mircea_popescu: well i would be happy to make some spreadsheets to pull the order books but this would require some sort of mpex api (json or xml or whatever) for that and again, leave you open to ddos. but if you pushed the data onto your own public spreadsheet you would avoid any ddos on your public facing graphs and orderbooks
pigeons: dont have my lexisnexis here
gesell: mircea_popescu: not in bit. checking again
gesell: oh didnt see the sierra chart feed
mircea_popescu: also kakobrekla has a websocket feed he's been selling people.
gesell: mircea_popescu: are those feeds not effected by the ddos?
mircea_popescu: nothing's affected other than the website which people somehow get fixated on.
gesell: mircea_popescu: it's the face. but is interesting to contemplate what that means and reshaping it.
gesell: mircea_popescu: well its also strange that the proxy seems to be a mirror. as apposed to it being it's own form of interface.
FabianB: well stock trading volume went down, but never stopped; options as usual
gesell: if the face effects trades then, well, recovery should be monitored. and hopefully there is recovery
pigeons: and people can learn to trade anyway
smickles: so the ddoser's name is "the face"?
gesell: mircea_popescu: for lack of a better comparison... say for instance that some brokerage firm was had their own interface to nyse showing trades and tickers. this would "feel" decoupled from the excchange itself so people would not associate the two. if nyse decided to change how they present themselves that brokerage face would not be percieved as, i dont know, a quick crutch to fill the gap. where as when it is mirroring nyse so closely
gesell: mircea_popescu: hobby web dev for aesthetics. serious code and hardware hacker for the $
pigeons: basically, mircea_popescu does not care how it "feels"
gesell: hacker meaning reverse engineer (meaning, f;ing serious)
gesell: pigeons: even if he doesnt care. it is still interesting to consider what the market effects of change of face are, and where the middle ground is, and where there is space to innovate in a intuitive way. or maybe there isnt really
smickles: gesell: did you notice that my mpexbot has a direct line into mpex, yet doesn't look like a mirror?
mircea_popescu: pigeons that is exactly the opposite of reality. i very much care how it feels. which is why the proxy doesn't have spurious dongles, but feels just like the real tihng.
gesell: pigeons: if change of face did effect trade volume, that is interesting to explore
mircea_popescu: what i don't care about is appearance bullshit. there's a very good reason for that : unlike the web, the retail market for plastic figurines and fake fags,
gesell: smickles: yeah mpexbot... so it could be that just as mpex forces people to understand that the odd security model is better (and forces people to learn why and learn what pgp is) maybe it is of value to force them to use a different interface in a similar way. but the cause and effect is not as clear with the Web vs Mpexbot, as it was with the gpg protocol
mircea_popescu: for some reason i have a lot of trouble following this guy.
smickles: mircea_popescu: that mpex gui i'm developing is nearly functionally complete
mircea_popescu: what do they feed you over there, uppers in speedball sauce ?
FabianB: gesell: in both cases you need gpg to trade
smickles: pigeons: not minecraft, but opengl like was discussed yesterday
gesell: mircea_popescu: not sure. i think i just dont explain abstract thoughts well.
pigeons: i want bricks of some sort then
mircea_popescu: pigeons lemme quote a person familiar with the matter, for your benefit :
gesell: smickles: is that QT based?
mircea_popescu: "i get the feeling ima wake up one of these days and like there will be a little mpex anthill, and mpex transaction wallpaint and i can order a stat from the magazin alimentar"
gesell: then i hope the buy button creates a buy event on button down and not button released ;)
smickles: gesell: it's a toolkit which uses opengl, i don't know too much about it
smickles: and that i should be able to make binaries for win, mac, linux and android with it
smickles: gesell: aw, i picked button released, is that bad?
gesell: smickles: yes, they people on upper speedball sauce will have to click for each buy whereas on button down they could just Hooooooold and buy shit loads
smickles: lol, well, the buy button goes to a detailed asset page with price and quantity inputs
smickles: yeah, i'd figure you'd want to know the best ask if you planned to buy
dub: this is mpex, we invest for the future, regardless of price
smickles: i have that one drawn up right now. left side full depth (scrollable) right 2/3's has details up at top and input middle, confirmation button at bottom
gesell: kivy is interesting. new to me
dub: if you care about price you are the wrong kind of investor
smickles: also, the thing is proxy aware and checks for updated proxy lists
smickles: that is how botnets work tho, isn't it?

mircea_popescu: pizzaman1337 suppose bitcoin was written by mpex devs.
dub: bitcoin is so resilient it only took one satoshidice to break it
Bowjob: btc-e trollbox is celebrating
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of intrinsic strength in the open and independent dev model.
BitHub: hand the code over to bill gates
mircea_popescu: the problem is that much like anything else of the kind, it depends on keeping politics low.
mircea_popescu: wikipedia for instance is similar, and failed for similar reasons.
gesell: mircea_popescu: shorting possitions on mpex?
BitHub: politics, emotions, egos
vampireb: well not a bitcoin issue, the old db was a problem
smickles: gesell: you want to short s.mpoe?
BitHub: why doesn't the bitcoin foundation use all that money to actually hire proper programmers
BitHub: with resumes and stuff
vampireb: hmm? start what? i read pleter's explanation, what isnt clear?
Bowjob: are asics safe and compatible after this?
mircea_popescu: vampireb read up the context in the channel you're talking.
BitHub: isn't that the foundation job? or not really?
gesell: will this spill over into the discussion of soft limits and sdice foo?
Bowjob: k thats all i care about
dub: gesell: this will spill over into all manner of discussion
mircea_popescu: this will probably be the foundation of all further discussions
smickles: well, if anyone want's to short s.mpoe, i have a fair amout of shares available
BitHub: what is the point of the foundation
dub: BitHub: they supply the biscuit
vampireb: i dont have the context, but ok
dub: the one in the middle
mircea_popescu: you make an upgrade that fucks up the network, it's not the db, it's not satoshi, it;s you.

smickles: "Every be very careful about accepting any transactions for the the next few hours" << what is that supposed to mean :P
benkay: i'd take a bearish position on ltc, settled next month...
the-bucket-shop: never let a tragedy go to waste fellas. Plaster Satoshi Dice's name all over the news and posts if you can.
vampireb: the result: bitcoin foundation would be promoted as a saviour
BitHub: it not the end of the world?
mircea_popescu: smickles that incoming txs might be wiped on fork merge
mircea_popescu: vampireb it's hopefully the end of a certain misplace attitude.
gesell: the-bucket-shop: what do you mean?
gesell: also, what effect would this split have on hash/mining opporutunities?
gesell: brief opportunities if that
mircea_popescu: if it's not temporary then there's no mining oportunities
smickles: mircea_popescu: i know, but how would you be careful about it. seems binary to me
mircea_popescu: im not processing incoming on mpex till its resolved for instance.
gesell: mircea_popescu: even if it is, it will take time for everyone to get on the proper chain, no... since apparently some versions will have to upgrade

gesell: so, just trying to understand this. how is mtgox processing tx's now. this effects minders and merchants, not exchanges?
dub: <dub> im buying at $10
smickles: gsi don't think they are processing deposits/withdrawals
vampireb: you can trade with existing funds
dub: they dont process tx
dub: unless you fund or withdraw
dub: which is frozen iirc
gesell: dub: perhaps i got the wrong term. if miners and merchants are told to wait, why not exchanges?
Chaang-Noi: ltc now at all time high to btc, and well over its old all time high to fiat
gesell: im trying to guage if there will be a queu of sells waiting to flood through exchanges once things get back to speed
mircea_popescu: withdrawals are fine, but prolly people aren't doing it just to be safe.
dub: gesell: there will, and wait till it hits the press
dub: I think $10 might be a bit bullish
Bowjob: I'm dropping down 200 BTC
pizzaman1337: well, I can't wait to get myself some cheap coins if it drops
gesell: so its a selfish question now but ive always invested long term. and now im wondering if its time to pull and wait
Bowjob: pull put. i'll sell 200 BTC for 8k

Bowjob: If felt that we would have a tremendous rally today this bug didnt happen
Bowjob: oh well. i'll take what i can
BingoBongo: A software neutral specification has been needed for too long
BingoBongo: I give it probably 3 years for a full move from code control to stardardized and documented.
BingoBongo: There's the long fight over what the spec is, and then theres the awkward grace period until the spec forces people to leave the old code controlled version (unless crisis compells it earlier)
midnightmagic: Probably not going to happen. People like mystical chains-of-heredity.
midnightmagic: It's in their nature--right beside the part that thinks god talks directly to them.
BingoBongo: Some things are more powerful than heredity
midnightmagic: The magic Satoshi? You think the huge number of sociopaths running bitcoin are interested in an outside non-mystic taking the reins?
midnightmagic: people who use bitcoin are the people I'm talking about.
midnightmagic: they are who create the economy which bitcoin encompasses.
mircea_popescu: WHY ARENT the bitcoin police doing anything about these DDOS attacks?
midnightmagic: correct, they don't. the thing is a lot of them know that, so what do they do? social proof. and they pick a guy (like satoshi) and decide he is the nearest thing to god.
midnightmagic: You know for someone who complains about it so much I'm surprised you're taking such an interest in leading a takeover.. :-)
Ukto: btw, bitfunder is 100% online. withdraws/ deposits
Ukto: you guys do okay? :)
BingoBongo: mircea_popescu Not at all. Maybe tie the definitive switch to standards only to the next halving? God is gone so let's send things to committee.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic im not leading anything, but i'm not standing for nonsensical crap either.
midnightmagic: You're trying to suggest you could be the lead of a Real bitcoin replacement. :)
mircea_popescu: not really. but i am saying that the current stuff has to go.
mircea_popescu: i said the moment devs try to act like priests and leverage the obscurity of their bad code into political theosophy... they're screwed.
mircea_popescu: i guess they don't read english any better than they read their own code.
midnightmagic: Actually, the reference implementation was never meant to be the end-all canonical version. Satoshi always hoped someone would write a properly-funded, properly engineered client and it would become the canonical client.
midnightmagic: I see no examples of political theosophy. You clearly have something in mind: out with it. :)
mircea_popescu: if you recall, this all started with people knowing which transactions are good.
midnightmagic: I don't see how a rationale (which Satoshi himself started, btw, by requesting that Wikileaks not use bitcoin yet,) is the snowball accretion of full-blown theosophy.
BingoBongo: And mircea_popescu many will probably try to sweep it under the rug as LevelDB is broken, because it isn't BerkelyDB. You're on the right track, but I think this was probably the wrong error...
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic wrong step on satoshi's part. let it be broken, rebuild. why protect it ?
midnightmagic: Currently, the best choice is sipa's blacklist patch, as it allows us to remain on the faster 0.8 while still mining.
mircea_popescu: if it's good it will prevail. if it sucks it will just crack and something else will come out of it
BingoBongo: mircea_popescu the difference is probably how much they will try to reiforce their canon against sense...
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: blockchain-destroying events tend to set back adoption progress amongst people who are afraid of what everyone else will think.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: the bootstrapping itself is still going on.
BingoBongo: "Good" bitcoin will probably have to overtake old by 51% As worse overtook bad tonight
mircea_popescu: look, like it or not, for this reason or for some other reason, bitcoin is at a point where you can't reasonably pour more moneuy into it
midnightmagic: BingoBongo: it will overtake depending on its technical and UX merits.
mircea_popescu: BingoBongo have you read the girl's explanation of why multiforks resolve and aren't a problem economically ?
BingoBongo: mircea_popescu I might have, I'll recheck her post history.
midnightmagic: BingoBongo: Think about it this way. uTorrent killed everything else on Windows.
mircea_popescu: in short : suppose chain forks into 3 different chains today, a b and c
mircea_popescu: if you had 10 bitcoins today prefork, you will have 10 a 10b and 10 c bitcoins after the fork.
mircea_popescu: if you sell b and buy a the price of all will go up and the price of b down.
mircea_popescu: eventually the fork resolves economically simply because mining costs money.
mircea_popescu: end of story. money itself is a centralising factor, and as such the slightest flicker amplifies
BingoBongo: Ah, this is kind of what I was thinking. I must have read without expressing the sentiment. I believe I've read similar on Trilema as well.
mircea_popescu: to be perfectly candid, many people involved in bitcoin are good honest and well meaning individuals, who know about things. usually those things are coding.
midnightmagic: crosschatter and high-bandwidth reorg battles would hurt individual consensus. presume the forks are all equal hashrate to begin with: due to the nature of POW, it would be far, far worse in terms of strength against attack.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic no. because attacker wouldn't know which to attack.
BingoBongo: midnightmagic Win32 killed everything on Windows... Crosschatter happened before, some altcoin late last year did it (no halving fork) and had to be euthanized.
midnightmagic: you must presume technical acumen on the part of the attacker.
mircea_popescu: but selecting the coin to attack is not a technical problem.
mircea_popescu: and you must never presume political acumen on the part of anyone.
midnightmagic: also economical savvy (as all attackers I have seen have been extremely insightful economically)
mircea_popescu: if the devs were a little looser in the ass, would the sort of econ savvy attackers stay that side or join this side ?
midnightmagic: not godlike power, but intellectually perfect decisions, plus funded by $x dollars.
mircea_popescu: looser in the ass ? it means being used with being fucked in that orrifice.
midnightmagic: Yeah but what has that to do with anything? Is this your way of saying you're done arguing?
mircea_popescu: suppose buttcoin has some devs that think all usecases are equally valid, and dorkcoin has some devs who believe using the coin for gambling is spam.
mircea_popescu: suppose there is one attacker such as you've modeled him.
Anduck: selling ASICMINER @ 0.76
pigeons: by the way people dont think using bitcoin for gambling is spam, they think using bitcoin transactions to signal a lost bet is spam
midnightmagic: I'd preferentially attack the ones who appeared to be more philosophically aligned with the notion of attack.
mircea_popescu: same thing pigeons. as long as you're making that call your ass is too tight.
midnightmagic: Also, if the money is on the side of the all-use-cases-are-valid (i.e. gambling and drugs, hypothetically) then obviously the money is where the attacker goes.
pigeons: ok maybe we should just encode files and upload them to the blockchain ala namecoin too
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic not so. you will be surprised to find attackers routinely forego hitting higher payoff cooler targets
mircea_popescu: pigeons if we shouldn't, there should not be call for doing it.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Well, not in my personal experience. But perhaps that's out-of-date these days.
midnightmagic: The gambling servers at least are very popular targets. Extorting them is almost a Russian pastime.
mircea_popescu: that;s brancing the discussion off the germane path tho
pigeons: alpaca socks can only pay so much ransom
midnightmagic: Even btcexpress preferred to leave his attacks on the altcoins.
mircea_popescu: sure, irrelevant ventures aren't part of the discussion, if bitcoin stays alpacca we're wasting our time with these concerns/
midnightmagic: .. but you defined the two choices earlier. I'm not agreeing that the choices match reality. I'm just hanging out in your hypothetical land because you invited me.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic that's fine, but you pervert the choices when you add riders such as "one is really vanishingly small"
midnightmagic: Well if that's not what you meant, perhaps you should define things more narrowly. :)
mircea_popescu: just leave it stand as it is. the theoretical response to a 51% attack is that the attacker would make more by mining.
mircea_popescu: the same applies ideologically too. the network won't get attacked for as long as it manages to not stupidly offend.
mircea_popescu: keeping money ideologically neutral, implementing the old pecunia non olet
mircea_popescu: is the main strategic purpose of having a devteam in the first place.
midnightmagic: I think gpumax is the counterexample to that assertion (that they'd make more by mining)
mircea_popescu: i don't think so. gpumax dissapeared with pirate, as the sane people were saying back in february 2012.
midnightmagic: nah it's not. It's an example of hashrate for sale, and successfully for sale for that matter.

jborkl_: It is holding up well considering what a collosal fuck up this was
Namworld: It wasn't that colossal... just a little forking
Namworld: The miners voted which would be used going forward
smickles: yeah, and it's not likely that many lost btc due to incidental double spends
Troic_: it could have been colossal, if the pool ops weren't so cooperative
jborkl_: That they encouraged people to change the block size and not knowing it was going to break BDB was a big fuck up
MJR_: Namworld: what is your bonds URL again?
smickles: Troic_: beauty of the system, they have a financial incentive to cooperate
smickles: jborkl_: I do wish they had tested .8 better. tis could've been caught
mircea_popescu: jborkl_ the idea is strong, the implementation horrible
Namworld: they can still mass object to changes and refuse... but the longest chain will be the one with most miners.
mircea_popescu: in a sense this backhandedly proves how strong the idea is
Namworld: The issue is not in .8 at all...
smickles: gavin had admitted to testing 500k blocks
Namworld: No amount of testing would have found the issue. .7 would have needed to be tested.
mircea_popescu: any statement that claims "no amout of testing" is a lie by its nature
smickles: Namworld: depends how you look at it no? the iss presented with the interaction of .8 and .7
smickles: something gavin was testing, just not toroughly enough
Namworld: The issue was in .7, if they tested .8 forever, they'd never have found the issue if they didn't use .7 in the testing.
mircea_popescu: obviously not the amount of testing they were willing to do in between chat session and harassinfg the userbase found it
jborkl_: I ran .7 and .8 versions, If I had run testnet and made a 1mb block I would have most likely broken .7
smickles: Namworld: gavin said he would've caught it if he had tested a larger block on the testnet
mircea_popescu: smickles gotta give props to gavin, he's one of the few that are actually contrite enough.
smickles: he only tested 500k blocks, and it happened on a 900k block
Namworld: I'm not saying it couldn't have been found, I'm just refuting that doing more testing on .8 would have given any result.
mircea_popescu: unauthoritatively my it says berkley seems to choke in this case over about 10k records
jborkl_: really, only test a part of the code against itself?
Namworld: I know... but people everywhere say that .8 should have been tested more so the issue would have been found.
mircea_popescu: nobody is saying "shouldhave been tested more by itself in a vacuum"
jborkl_: I just solo mined on .72 again last night until it was all figured out- I knew I kept .72 around and running for a reason
smickles: Namworld: i believe they do test for interaction with older versions
mircea_popescu: jborkl_ i've always been slow to upgrade, specifically for lack of faith.
MJR_: Namworld: I think what they mean is that part of testing a new release is testing it's interactions with other versions for backward compatiblity
Namworld: Don't you get it? I'm trying to refute people who think the issue is with .8 and that .8 alone should have been tested more...
jborkl_: Yeah, me too- I don't like being the first to change- bit me too many times
Namworld: Not that more proper testing would not have found the issue (proper with many versions). That more testing of .8 alone would have not changed anything.
Namworld: This is the only thing I'm trying to say.
smickles: personall, i include previous version interaction in the testing of one version
smickles: so it's a silly argument :P differences in definitions
mircea_popescu: the issue is with berkley db, which was on the way out
Namworld: THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M FUCKING CLAIMING THAT THE ISSUE AIN'T ON .8!
jborkl_: people were all up in arms about having 80 to 1000 unconfirmed transactions waiting. with NO testing, people made larger blocks - that broke BDB
Namworld: I'm talking about people making such claims... not about me making the same claims =/
jborkl_: It could have been handled and implemented properly
mircea_popescu: <Namworld> No amount of testing would have found the issue.
Namworld: @smickles: some people even claimed they sticked to an old version specially because of potential such issues with new versions when .8 wasn't the source of the problem. If they had switched it would have been an non-issue. We've reverted to accomodate the bug in .7 and not to leave people behind.
jborkl_: .8 should be used, but we are holding back so poor people with shitty connections and shitty hardware can still be here
Namworld: mircea: I was referring to testing of .8 alone. I'm made an omission in it. I've been trying to correct myself for like the last few minutes =/
MJR_: lol, you know people can run either version and change the size of blocks they can accept or mine
imsaguy: the problems is that other people accepted it
Namworld: I hate it when I forget something in a sentence and I'm getting argued against for 10 minutes when I have the same point of view as the one arguing against me.
imsaguy: so even if you didn't allow it, someone else did
imsaguy: and then your client chokes
imsaguy: and you get stuck and don't get any new blocks
imsaguy: mircea_popescu: Namworld is usually arguing with himself.
Namworld: That's new. I don't recall that.
Namworld: No. Maybe every month or the other.
jborkl_: They have identified it as .BDB has a limit and can be broken. .8 does not have a limit and seems fine. Lets move back to the broken
mircea_popescu: i enjoy arguing with him mostly because he seems to go about things in a totally different way than anyone else
mircea_popescu: which is a great way to become a laughingstock, sure, but also a great way to find obscure bugs.
Namworld: Actually I find you go about things in a different way than anyone else...
MJR_: can't you change your code in .7 to accept larger blocks?
imsaguy: .7 can already accept larger blocks
imsaguy: bdb can't handle the locking
Namworld: Almost all misunderstandings on Bitcoin IRC are with you. I usually go about quite well with almost everyone else.
mircea_popescu: Namworld almost everyone else doesn't have much to say.
imsaguy: I'm glad I'm not almost everyone else
jborkl_: The problem glaring from this, now a obvious major problem is here and can be exploited again.
MJR_: has anyone ever said "bitcoin-assets is great but I just wish it had as much drama as bitcointalk.com"
Namworld: I think you are very literal on what sentences mean and interpret as little as possible. You avoid making too many inferences during a conversation so even small omissions can result in misunderstandings.
mircea_popescu: Namworld certainly. this way misunderstandings are found early.
gribble: usagi was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 6 days, 23 hours, 17 minutes, and 59 seconds ago: <usagi> do it
imsaguy: does he still owe people coins?
Namworld: If it was a written text, I might make less omissions. When chatting tho, I type fast and usually omit things.
mircea_popescu: actually... what if usagi and eskimo bob joined forces
imsaguy: sounds like a methlab waiting to happen
jborkl_: put both of their ideas on how to make money together? 1+1=still is 0
Namworld: Only bob I know around these parts.
mircea_popescu: this seems to be the contemporary brain disease, people reading stuff they don't understand here and there, mashing it into a sort of compound
Namworld: I think being heavily dependant on miners is actually what Satoshi wanted... miners vote with their hashing power... That's exactly how the system is supposed to work.
jborkl_: I like Death and Taxes response
Namworld: and devs can consult with mining pool when changing limits and send a warning so everyone upgrades directly to the client, should they want to make a change to allow scaling.
ThickAsThieves: they will still need to hard fork us again at some point, no?
ThickAsThieves: so does that not give malicious people a specific time in the future to plan for?
Namworld: But with proper warning and support from the community for the change, only the few not switching are left behind.
mircea_popescu: just the puppy eyed idiots don't quite get what happened so raw raw we love devteam
Namworld: what kind of malicious stuff might there be?
mircea_popescu: that's not how this works, "o, what bad stuff could happen?"
jborkl_: Well, first of all they need to plan the change sooner than later
Namworld: No, I mean malicious stuff from knowing ahead of time about a fork.
Namworld: Other than double-spend attacks
Namworld: But really, merchants/miners can plan ahead if they know. It's better if it's known in advance than not.
mircea_popescu: knowing in advance there will have to be a hard fork is a weakness of the system.

mircea_popescu: the lag to talk to mpex, through a remote and a local proxy
benkay: to the order-parsing system?
ThickAsThieves: so i know they me seem ignorant, but just thinking out loud, is there not a way to make the bitcoin software part of the blockchain itself?
mircea_popescu: it takes .11 seconds for an order to go from bot to remote proxy -> to local proxy -> to trade engine and back
mircea_popescu: it takes .11 seconds for an order to go from bot to remote proxy -> to local proxy and back
benkay: what kind of volume would your trade engine have to see before it started lagging?
benkay: assuming you don't mean btc testnet?
mircea_popescu: (this has to be sustained at that level for an hour or so for things to start feeling it)
smickles: benkay: i could have it place an order, to test, but the problem would be cancelling that order later
mircea_popescu: mpex could trade on beenz if i wanted to, it's completely btc agnostic.
smickles: mircea_popescu: would a better measure be sending a bunk order?
mircea_popescu: once i get the rest online, can you measure the lag for the entire $proxies list ?
mircea_popescu: the way mpex works you get the trade engine lag printed rioght on each stat
ThickAsThieves: any thoughts on somehow tying the bitcoin software to the blockchain itself? dumb idea?
smickles: ThickAsThieves: what purpose would it serve?
Namworld: Would be catastrophic... no more voting on what changes you want
Namworld: Basically, someone controls Bitcoin
smickles: yeah, right now, users 'vote', miners 'vote'
imsaguy: you can always compile your own bitcoin software
smickles: ThickAsThieves: but you don't have to go along with them
imsaguy: you vote with what you use
Namworld: Yeah. But almost the same if software upgrade is forced through the blockchain itself. Not sure how that could even work tho
imsaguy: you take the bitcoin.org reference software
imsaguy: and they say 'this version isn't good after block X'
imsaguy: you've just put an expiration date on the software
imsaguy: I'm not advocating they do this

mircea_popescu: this is possibly the worst case of "hi i am calling to report a bug" bungled tech support ever.
mircea_popescu: pigeons i fear it'll take me a little to digest this one
pigeons: you can configure it to use more locks, so far that seems to work just uses a lot more ram but works
mircea_popescu: the proof of something awful's general cluelessness/irrelevance is the low level mock articles they're pushing out.
mod6: yeah BDB has been a thorn in dev's side for a decade. but sounds like this time they forgot about a landmine they already stepped on once before.
mircea_popescu: mod6 bring me up to speed, what exactly is the objection ? it is widely deployed and consequently well debugged by now
mod6: BTC needs a CVE or something or some sort of post mortum.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 5 @ 0.57575758 = 2.8788 BTC [-]
mod6: mircea_popescu: its not really an objection.
mod6: its just something to be cautious of
mod6: so many problems over the years
mod6: i couldn't possibly remember them all
mod6: im just depressed about this shit
mod6: i was thinking about the gox issue...
mod6: and perhaps what we need is something like rootservers for fiat->btc exchanges
mod6: dns has root servers worldwide to resolve requests. thinking that maybe btc could do well to have like 10-13 worldwide exchanges all independant of eachother.
mod6: not that all the code should be the same.
MJR_: but also...those root servers have children
pizzaman1337: kakobrekla wants something like the way fx is setup
mod6: root servers don't keep the same code either, not exactly anyway, this way it prevents a simutaious attack against all
mircea_popescu: mod6 it would be good to have many exchanges, but there's problems with getting that to work in p[ractice
mircea_popescu: because exchanges concentrate liquidity and people chase liquidity
mod6: this will help distrbute the load of exchange, and then btc wont have 1 place to look for price signals.
MJR_: well, one thing is that instant settlement is going to be harder and harder to scale
mircea_popescu: few people involved actually have enough finance knowledge to get it going yet.
mircea_popescu: Mar 11 09:18:00 <mircea_popescu> ok, it's like this. suppose the three main dealers are A, B and C.
mircea_popescu: Mar 11 09:18:13 <mircea_popescu> chair X calls the meeting. X proposes price, say 47.5
mircea_popescu: Mar 11 09:18:27 <mircea_popescu> a, b and c go through their books, see what customers want, see what they want on their own account
mircea_popescu: Mar 11 09:18:45 <mircea_popescu> then they say. a buys 50k usd. b sells 25k usd. c sells 70k usd.
mircea_popescu: Mar 11 09:18:52 <mircea_popescu> 25 + 70 > 50k so its not fixed
mircea_popescu: Mar 11 09:18:58 <mircea_popescu> x has to call a lower price now
mircea_popescu: Mar 11 09:19:00 <jurov> ah that kind of meeting you mean
mircea_popescu: Mar 11 09:19:08 <mircea_popescu> now a b and c review their books
mircea_popescu: Mar 11 09:19:14 <mod6> think i just need to add some sleep time....
mircea_popescu: Mar 11 09:19:27 <mircea_popescu> this process is called fixing, it's widely used to obtain a price.
mod6: and fixing this block size thing is kinda crazy. its like you know when you get a UDP request to your DNS server and the reply from the Zone is > than the max size of UDP, it rolls over to tcp
MJR_: well, again I think that could happen on a larger scale...
pgp: credit lines between exchanges to allow cross exchange arb would be an important start...
mod6: i don't think im smart enough for this stuff.
MJR_: pgp: again instant settlement is not sustainable
kakobrekla: the first important step, realizing that.
pgp: this would also require something akin to DTCC (depositiory trust clearing corp) where every exchange is a member and keeps money on deposit...
MJR_: or even wise...since cold storage =\= instant
mircea_popescu: pgp that could easily be implemented using the mpex push for isntance
mircea_popescu: or independently, but pgp is a good solution to keep it safe.
mircea_popescu: problem is every exchange wants to act as if in a vacuum, because
kakobrekla: the problem is exchange ops are retarded
mircea_popescu: the problem with bitcoin in general is the userbase is dumb.
MJR_: well not educated financially
mircea_popescu: devteam, miners, pool ops, exchange ops, everyone is... you know... draftees
MJR_: you would be surprised how many financial wizards have trouble using email
pgp: yes - with the exception of bitfloor, it doesn't seem that these exchanges are run by anyone familiar with how "real" exchanges (and clearing operations) actually work...
mod6: i got trolled so hard by my gf for this shit yesterday
MJR_: so you need people who are tech AND finance savvy
mod6: we're the laughing stock
mircea_popescu: pgp bitfloor, the guys currently owinfg like 900x what they'll ever make ?
MJR_: well...last I checked there was only one exchange that hasn't been hacked
pizzaman1337: so what is the "proper" way to run an exchange? where can I read about this?
mircea_popescu: pizzaman1337 this ain't knitting we're discussiong here man.
MJR_: well, paranoia does not an efficient market make
mircea_popescu: pizzaman1337 no but srsly, this is the sort of thing people pay in the 100's of k's for,
MJR_: it is pretty sad that the biggest exchange can't handle orders in less than 5 min
pizzaman1337: well, there must be some info on it somewhere that I could get access too
mircea_popescu: MJR_ mpex doesn't do fiat tho, so it's kinda moot for this problem
MJR_: don't know of anyone getting hacked for fiat
mircea_popescu: what's sad is that they take ~5k a month in hardware costs to process 8k trades in 30 minutes
mircea_popescu: if we scale this liniarly we discover it'd cost more than it's worth to have ti trade
MJR_: I meant the bitcoin exchanges
pgp: for starters, most all exchanges today pay you to add liquidity to their book - the so called "maker-taker" fee model.
MJR_: exactly what pgp said
mircea_popescu: pgp the reason is they're mixing bizdev with the fee schedule.
pigeons: mjr_ where have you been? bitininstant lost usd a few days ago
pigeons: what about bitcoinica? what about every single one?
MJR_: they stole usd from the servers
pgp: moreover, because like asset exchanges belong to the same "clearing clubs", they can route orders to one another to ensure "best execution" for their customers (while, of course, charging for that convenience)...
mircea_popescu: pigeons wait. didn't bitinstant lose the BTC on vircurex ?
MJR_: front page hackers used DNS to steal 12000 worth of BITCOINS
mircea_popescu: usure ? cause i wrote about this and iirc shrem was saying btc
pgp: they weren't using two factor auth with that exchange...
pizzaman1337: "Overall, due to major choke points and redundancies in our system, the hacker was only able to walk away with $12,480 USD in BTC, and send them in 3 installments of 333 BTC to bitcoin addresses."
pgp: you can lead a horse to water
MJR_: they listed the loss in dollars, but you can't send cash over a wire
MJR_: anyway I think there is a ton of room for competition to mt gox
mod6: there needs to be at least 3
mod6: all independant of eachother that aren't scams
MJR_: but even better opportunity for someone to route flow between exchanges
MJR_: lol, not being scams is key
mod6: if they were modeled after mpex, that'd be a start
MJR_: I really think a gpg based order system would be nice
mod6: not the SAME code, but similar to avoid attacks upon a weakness found in one
mod6: similar to rootservers
mircea_popescu: mod6 one of the key reasons why i keep the code closed.
mircea_popescu: people would just mindlessly replicate it (see bitfinex) then we'll be well fucked
MJR_: but also...I really think node and branch will be needed
mod6: and really... the UDP (TCP when needed) is a model that the guys should be looking at to solve this blocksize issue
mircea_popescu: in a sense mpex is constructed exactly opposite of how bitcoin is constructed.
mod6: any thoughts on that? anyone know what I'm referring to?
mircea_popescu: keep the specification open and the implementation proprietary
mircea_popescu: versus the keep the specification equal to the unreadable codebase.
MJR_: know exactly what you are talking about
jcpham: you access mpex through open standards
MJR_: I wrote a program to monitor how often we need to fail over to TCp for our data feeds
jcpham: how it works is not your concern
jcpham: unicorns are definitely walking in hamster wheels though
MJR_: I think it's multicast tcp?
MJR_: I think bitcoin-assets is the bleeding edge of the bleeding edge
jurov: mod6, how would UDP help in blocksize issuie?
MJR_: when you think that people on coinbase are probably still in the innovators (before 18%) stage...wow
pigeons: really? its second to -otc in stupid
pigeons: all your fancy exchange routing will be done via ripple
MJR_: I can't remember your exact quote mircea_popescu but something like "if you want to use crypto currency but don't understand cryptography..."
mod6: jurov: we can learn a thing or two, perhaps, about how DNS solves the issue. UDP is meant to be fast, and arbitrarily large since forward/reverse zones can contain an large amount of entries.
assbot: [BTCTC] [B.YABMC] 1 @ 0.00755 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: mod6 of course, the blockszie issue wasn't hitting the transport layer
MJR_: I think a central clearing corp, that only needs to transfer the diff between exchanges will be the best way
mircea_popescu: look what happened in ny when the clearing corp got flooded
mod6: but when the size of UDP gets over 65,535 bytes (need to double check), it simply converts it to TCP and sends it that way. something can be learned from this, nothing more.
pigeons: mircea_popescu: cause people are transitioning from doing it via the private standalone django app to the new ripple but it is being done now
mod6: im not saying about the transport, or anything
mod6: im simply saying, look at how this problem was solved
mircea_popescu: pigeons on superficial analysis ripple seems just the place where the curerent bitcoindev rats will sucrry to
pigeons: yes perhaps, but currency liquidity flowed throug it before and will continue too,
mod6: i dunno, i guess i'd have to spend some time in there. and the client needs to be combed through
jurov: mod6, maximal packet size (or MTU) is hard fact baked into ethernet from the beginning, not some broker earlier implementation
mod6: slice and dice shit out of there that needs to be replaced.
mircea_popescu: mod6 actually once you're done with the iphone app, a very good use of someone's time is to go through the codebase and summarize it
MJR_: mircea_popescu: what iphone app?
mod6: i never wanted to touch bitcoin's client or anything else because the #bitcoin-dev is filled with pompus retards
mod6: so i'll just my retard ass out of there
jurov: mod6 good for ya. i did touch it and it didn't hurt.
jurov: but maybe i'm just crazy, going into anything
jurov: without such considerations
mod6: i'd love to take the time to audit that shit, but who wants to fight with LukeJr and the others?
mod6: aint noone got time for that
kakobrekla: oh i read that "in summary the coinbase is defenetly useful" and got a heart attack almost
MJR_: ain't no one got time for that indeed
mod6: yeah. its way out of hand
jcpham: i'm doing much better in the poll today
jurov: mod6 i'm not interested in arguing. if i had time, i'll do a fork with some very useful function and wait for them to come
jurov: cuz it's fork of bitcoind
mod6: or you just cloned and went forward?
jurov: wasn't hard... couldn't understand why that function isn't exposed already
mod6: yeah, its WAY too large imho
jurov: prolly they don't have time to test properly xD
mod6: thats obvious to everyone in the world who pays attention
mod6: they should back away after this
jurov: well, they preferred to entagle themselves in multisig txs at the time
jurov: incidentally, they still don't have sane interface, too
mircea_popescu: i am still steaming over the fact that i can't create abitrary size txs
jurov: lmao DUE TO OVERWHELMING REQUESTS we had to remove PayPal & Local Pickup options.
jurov: yes, only nonreversable nonpersonal means. fyr maximum security.
mod6: for starters who does this? Dbc* pcursor = db.GetCursor();
mod6: i just hate looking at the client code. maybe its just their style.
mod6: its like: Dbc *pcursor = db.GetCursor();

Anduck: and pay a huge fee of.. 0.1 btc!!
mircea_popescu: and more importantly bitcoind doesnt die with "failed to create transaction"
mircea_popescu: this sort of shit belongs in onboard code for vibrating dildoes at the most.
Lyspooner: what about those of us who have been running 0.9
benkay: it's a transient state. frustrating to be sure.
benkay: especially to those of us accustomed to flushing idiots out of systems with economics.
benkay: you mentioned something about the dev team starting work on a spec?
benkay: would you point me at that?
assbot: [BTCTC] [CRYPTO-TRADE] 3 @ 0.2 = 0.6 BTC [+]

assbot: [BTCTC] [COGNITIVE] 1 @ 0.18 BTC [-]
Lyspooner: The Church of Bitcoin and the Vatican Bitcoin Foundation have met Luther Popescu
mod6: so can we rewind the tape just a bit...
mod6: didn't this happen or something very similar to it before?
mod6: like on upgrade from version 4 to 5 or something? there was a night where they did an upgrade and the similar thing happened.
assbot: [BTCTC] [S.DICE-PT] 87 @ 0.00559 = 0.4863 BTC [+]
mod6: i gotta look through btctalk for that *sigh*
mod6: awe fuck it, i guess that's long ago anyway.
jurov: mircea_popescu one thing i don't understand, you aren't going to hire any devs yourself cause it isn't worth the conflict and drama?
jurov: what do you plan to do, then?
mod6: it shouldn't be up to one dude to pay for all this shit...
mircea_popescu: and ideally remove the current devteam's license to release new clients.
jurov: and who will do the spec? have any allies to do it together?
mircea_popescu: then once we have spec they can fix their fucked codebase and release a proper client
mod6: i just feel like, this should be like a HACK THE PLANET type thing, and people who want this to work will make it work.
mod6: im not sure what planet these guys are on, but if this is their baby and they have commitbits to the most widely used full-node base, they aught to make sure it functions correctly.
mod6: anyway, drives me up a wall, I'll tell you. :)
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 2 @ 0.574 = 1.148 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: jurov anyway, the problem isn't as much the drama, but moreover that a single-source codebase is both non-bitcoiny and suspect.
mircea_popescu: but i think if we can get one (or ideally multiple) people to summarize the code
mircea_popescu: this wouldn't take much longer than a few weeks for a first draft, which can then be argued and refined
mircea_popescu: in my experience any devteam resists such an effort like cats resist washing, because coders love to write but hate having to read code.
mircea_popescu: hiowever, once it's complete there's a few day's worth of facepalming and going "wait, we are doing W?HAT ?!"
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 1 @ 0.57577575 BTC [+]
mod6: this is a solid plan.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 1 @ 0.57999999 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: of course it has to first get the cat into the washing machine.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 6 @ 0.58 = 3.48 BTC [+]
jurov: well, i'd love to and have no problems to read others code.. just that i'm neck deep elsewhere atm.
mircea_popescu: why it's called open source after all, sits there and waits for when / who has time for it
jurov: oh, that happens with all opensource without paid devs
mircea_popescu: a. i hire someone. well... this opens the political problem of "oh, he's mp's puppet".
mircea_popescu: b. i set up a prize which anyone may claim. well... this opens the idiocy problem of "oh, I don'tneed his money, what does me take for, a starving artist????"
mod6: right. no, this needs to be something that is adopted by the users of the system.
mircea_popescu: + "it's not enough" drama + trying to get the pruize with as little work as possible etc
jurov: just hire someone. this muppet argument will ensue but code/doc will remain in the end
jurov: i remember something like with linux and redhat
jurov: maybe i'll hire amir taaki.. he'll do gladly for food and shelter
mod6: well, i think this bitcoin project is again an "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US." type of thing.
jurov: mod6 what outer space metaphors are you onto again....
dub: so this fucking agent calls me in yesterday to show the same offer as last week, only on paper
mircea_popescu: jurov i bet you i can tell you have just by reading his output
dub: because numbers look different than they sound obviously
benkay: what are you taking offers on, dub?
jurov: lol the vride isn't up to specs
mod6: So, what I'm saying is, I think it's a really good thing to create a spec, and then everyone can punch eachother in the nuts over it until its perfect. This is the way to go.
benkay: there will eventually be an incentive for the miners to disregard devsquad
benkay: in retrospect, i'm a little surprised they didn't this time
mod6: I think, at least for myself, every time I had to write a paper, or have written some code; I've gone back the next day or at some later date and done a `wtf?'
mod6: even the other night, i wrote that code quick that worked. i mean, it kinda worked, in the way that it fucked a donkey.
mircea_popescu: the btcguild people got fucked for ~2k btc because of it.
mircea_popescu: this keeps up, soon enough idiots will not have the dough to keep going
mod6: but then you know, you review, you think about it, you make changes and it gets better.
benkay: it's a painful process
benkay: dunno if i agree about that.
jurov: mod6 yea but if you don't painstakingly document it it just won't go past some threshold
benkay: i don't optimize for pain.
Lyspooner: where'd the 2k btc figure come from?
mod6: i've said that before. but usually my code works too.
jurov: yes bitcoind usually works, too
mircea_popescu: Lyspooner they lost ~1.2k because the new .8 redownloaded the chain and they autopaid miners submitting as if low diff
benkay: i optimize for pleasure within my in-group, and i let the rest of the world experience their own mistakes.
mircea_popescu: they lost a further however much cause of discarded blocks
Lyspooner: mircea_popescu were they auto-paying miners with coins older than 120 blocks since mined?
mircea_popescu: yes, the op was quite clear about having lost the 1.2k
Lyspooner: anything faster than 120 blocks is the ops fault
Lyspooner: they are paying miners with fresher coins than is safe
mircea_popescu: as the blockchain was being downloaded, the difficulty was corresponding to very old blocks, ie, very low.
jurov: Lyspooner pools attract noobs on fast payouts, is that surprising for you?
mircea_popescu: as miners submitted current work, they were paid for their share of contribution to that low difficulty
Lyspooner: maybe i misunderstand mining pools' payouts. but if i do work now, i shouldn't be paid until t+120
mircea_popescu: and speaking of that 120... YET MORE MAGIC NUMBERS FUCKING HELL
Lyspooner: but that's the risk that mining pool ops assume
jurov: kakobrekla you didn't got doublespended on smpake.com?
mircea_popescu: Lyspooner not detachedly from the general "trusting devteam" risk
mod6: (13:35) < jurov> mod6 yea but if you don't painstakingly document it it just won't go past some threshold << documentation is amazing
mod6: i've read tons of technical manuals. i quite like the strangely.
mod6: but... it doesn't have to be 50 volumes to be helpful either.
mod6: cause the source speaks volumes itself
mod6: but there can always be a little guidence on how it is designed, why something is implemented the way it is, etc.
mod6: i feel like we need a bitcoin RFC
assbot: Quest for vision is a great blessing.

Ukto: if I put a test bot trade announcer in here
Ukto: just announcing for now
Ukto: but would you stop whining about trades? :P
mircea_popescu: atm im goingthrough the summary of the bitcoin-dev session for the 12th
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's much hope for the current dev team, seriously.
mircea_popescu: anyone "upgrading" to any further crap they release is irresponsible from a business perspective.
mircea_popescu: we need an actual trustworthy bitcoin implementation asap.
Ukto: i think were better off with btc's team than nothing
mircea_popescu: atm bitcoin is forked, in the sense that some kids are in jerkoff lalaland
Ukto: i am not using their crap
Ukto: i am using a highly customized version
mircea_popescu: Ukto no, atm we'd be better of if everyone in devteam were under a bus.
Ukto: which is why I wasnt effected
kakobrekla: its really simple to implement, just ask the others.
Ukto: kakobrekla: will you write websocket support?
Ukto: i dont want systems banging on my webservers
Ukto: i just paid someone to write it
Ukto: since no one else can get with the times
Ukto: and stop using archaic technology
kakobrekla: ill make websocket when you have 10 trades per second consistently
Ukto: well now you dont have to worry
Ukto: same format for trade display
kakobrekla: the thing is there is one protocol by which all exchanges go
Ukto: then the other exchanges should move into the present
Ukto: sorry, but I know how to create platforms that dont buckle under load when they get a large userbase
Ukto: do it right the first time
Ukto: or just be a fuckup
FabianB: Ukto: how's a push from your system to assbot 'banging your server'? if i understand it right assbot doesn't pull from your servers
Ukto: enabling the 15sec call requests on the graphs on bf
Ukto: caused a laod increase of 5% on the servers
Ukto: with all the extra unneeded sql queries
Ukto: 380 requests every other second
mircea_popescu: there will be a trade freeze, should be no more than ~10 minutes, will be announced in advance
Ukto: about to turn on websockets for the browser
Ukto: will create no extra load
Ukto: and everything will work
Ukto: if you tell me no bot in here
Ukto: i will put it in #bitfunder
Ukto: and people can watch it there if they want

Ukto: specially for your bot to bang every 5 seconds ?
kakobrekla: if a onliner means 'custom get post script' then yes
Ukto: that would never work then
Ukto: the server remains behind protection for a reason as not to have the ips given out
Ukto: twitter is not a person on irc
Ukto: and part of the btc community
Ukto: and thts prolly going to stop honestly
mircea_popescu: wait. jhow are you going to implement ipless websockets ?!
Ukto: mircea_popescu: i already todl you that
Ukto: the main servers ip
Ukto: only to the socket network
Ukto: it removes all load on information distribution
Ukto: I was discussing it with tux as well
Ukto: to lower load on the servers
kakobrekla: so the conclusion is Ukto cant afford a post per trade
Ukto: anywho, we were at a crossroads, i didnt want to custom for your bot because its really a waste of time when theres a simple method for it. I paid someone to make a work around. you say NO for no real reason. thas that
Ukto: i punch those pennies
Ukto: when it comes to load
kakobrekla: just a coder mircea_popescu, just a coder.
Ukto: and fwiw it took someone 10 minutes to make a websocket announcing bot.
kakobrekla: and it takes 3 min to post it to assbot
Ukto: but that doesnt solve the ip protection issue
Ukto: if this channel had 10,000 users i would care more
Ukto: it has about 25 active
Ukto: 30 ppl who lurk at any given time
Ukto: and none of them that respond to trades in here by jumping on an exchange and trading because of it
kakobrekla: nobody is forcing you so is all good, dont sweat it
Ukto: im not. just tired of people whining that they cant see the bf trades
Ukto: so i made a simple solution
Ukto: that causes no conflicts
Ukto: other than with you hehe
Ukto: i mean honestly, can you give me a good reason why different name cant say the same information?
Ukto: what if I manualyl paste them every time? will i get banned?
jurov: Ukto, what about tickers?
Ukto: jurov: not yet. just announcing
assbot: How can I be of assistance, my poor man?
Ukto: jurov: might be #bf only
kakobrekla: assbot is a standard in #bitcoin-assets , in other rooms there can be 252 bots having buttsex for all i care
Ukto: I dont want to override the "standard"
Ukto: but the sstandard is set in its ways
Ukto: its like nano said. if bitcoincharts stops updating its lists of exchanges, he would allow workaround to add new ones
kakobrekla: maybe some fan of yours will make a script that will listen to your socket and make posts
Ukto: so if this other person operates the bot and announces in here
burnside: Ukto, can I get api access to BF?
Ukto: burnside: the get/post api for bf is currently only opened to 14 ppl and being reworked based on suggestions. debating forcing it all to websocket at this point.
Ukto: for reasons I stated earlier
dub: we only do double standards here, its more efficient
benkay: ukto, this is your problem for not scoping market standards first
benkay: it's not our problem to conform to your preferred implementation
benkay: if you want trades seen by max people, publish in places they'll be seen.
Ukto: and i didnt care if they were seen in here or not
Ukto: so i made something
benkay: missed the whole lean startup movement
benkay: forgot your user research
Ukto: if its not wanted, then its not wanted
benkay: nobody wants your socket
benkay: just 'cause you dumped money into it doesn't give it value.
Ukto: they dont have to have it. :)
benkay: that's fine. your arrogance will cripple your business.
benkay: humility and egoless development will open the doors to users
Ukto: "no one wants your socket" "ok" "your arrogent" ?
benkay: you're going to have to articulate that argument a little more clearly.
benkay: Ukto: "no one wants your socket" "ok" "your arrogent" ?
Ukto: you say someone doesnt want something, I said ok. and you called me arrogent for it
Ukto: dont understand. :)]
Ukto: i agree, no one has to use the sockets if they dont want to
Ukto: i wont force it on anyone
benkay: don't have time to explain.
Ukto: then pm me another time and we can talk. :)
Ukto: i have none either.
benkay: except for an inherently limited user base watching your data feed :)
FabianB: sad my bet on bitbet "bitfunder won't announce in #bitcoin-assets by ..." wasn't accepted a few days ago ;)
FabianB: Ukto and kakobrekla just don't get along
benkay: implying bitbet only takes losing wagers?
Ukto: FabianB: nah, kako's fine
Ukto: i have no issue with em
Ukto: i just dont want to use post/get's (which i originalyl thought thats how it worked for the bot since i was never todl otherwise when asked about it)
Ukto: and b. i dont issue outbound connections from any of my servers. weexchange, bitfunder, etc
Ukto: ust a conflict of standards
mircea_popescu: benkay well no but it doesn't take wagers where one person can singlehandedly decide the outcome
FabianB: Ukto: not really with a proxy (connecting via websockets to bitfunder and posting to assbot)
benkay: don't trust the good who runs the assbot listening to mpex
benkay: man fuck the spellcheck on this client
Ukto: I guess i could have the guy change the bot
Ukto: to accept websocket announces
dub: just throw up the socket already and let someone else spend 3 minutes routing around your damage
Ukto: and then announce a POST to kako's bot
mircea_popescu: i have a never ending flood of actuall ddos since like the beginning of the month
kakobrekla: you can bounce it off the moon while you are at it
dub: mircea_popescu: its just someone sharing their packets with you bro
Ukto: kakobrekla: pm me the url and format to post the data
Ukto: or pm me a url to any documentation

kakobrekla: prolly nobody knows cause the devs are all dead

kakobrekla: 01:12.01 ( kakobrekla ) why would i USE it
kakobrekla: 01:12.03 ( kakobrekla ) instead of btc
BitHub: be funny if ltc became worth more than btc
Bowjob: the trollbox is going nuts
jcpham: i might sell some poop on ebay for a bajillion dolars too
BitHub: btc becomes worthless and its all about the ltc
jcpham: or some other tulip comes along
jcpham: currency exchange is one thing
jcpham: storage of value another entirely
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla actually, if the current devs continue as bitcoin devs, i can envisage ltc becoming the standard coin.
jcpham: mircea_popescu you die first

jcpham: becasue there arre none

deadweasel: I'm curious what a transaction from an orphaned fork looks like?
BitHub: glad the irc bot thing worked out, hope you find these dickheads hey
deadweasel: so anyone who happened to be buying 3 lbs of gold in person with bitcion at exactly that time, would have seen 6 confirmations?
BitHub: PPS. Everyone named in this article gets a block of 10`000 S.MPOE shares. Contact jurov to take possession - that include me mircea :)
Namworld: Well the blog is... MPEx will certainly follow soon
BitHub: good read man, any idea who or why?

Namworld: :;rate Chaang-Noi -10 Too much black/purple/red in his home, really bad choice of colors. Doesn't give off a very trusty vibe like pure white.
benkay: contrasts strongly against american startuplandia where you can pivot (fail) ten times with 3 different investment rounds, and still be lauded as a pop-hero

smickles: mircea_popescu: did you figure it out or should I show you again :)
smickles: and it's just the key to send to mpexbot

jurov: hm, mpex6.coinbr.com should work (ipv6 only) but someohow doesn't here
mircea_popescu: jurov i talked with my provider, and allow me to quote :
mircea_popescu: "The US datacenters we have dont support IPv6 or if they do it is very limited. The London DC does support IPv6 but cPanel and a lot of the other stuff on the server doesn't so those IPs they are able to give, are actually useless at this time."

deadweasel: we have an electrical grid that is about to shit the bed, ipv6 is not an upgrade priority
FabianB_: lol, cPanel can't handle ipv6?
jurov: can anyone confirm mpex6.coinbr.com works? looks like my tunnel is b0rkt
FabianB_: if i were at home and not in hotel..
jurov: i can ping, i can connect. but no reply from webserver
FabianB_: jurov: how about locally on the server?
jurov: there it works. but amazon is not providing ipv6 end to end
jurov: i only provides ipv6 to ipv4 loadbalancer
assbot: [BTCTC] [S.BBET-PT] 2 @ 0.00194 = 0.0039 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: it seems apparent we have some sort of ipv4 bridge or proxy or something in between
jurov: heh... "mpex.co is down" , "yea i saw boss going to the closet"
dub: theres somethign called a chain block
dub: its essentially maff and fings
jurov: i got confirmed it works.. so it's just my ipv6 tunnel

mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone has quick proof against point 1 there ?
jurov: this? 1) Without producing zero-day exploits
mircea_popescu: I'm not sure this is getting through the fog of their own farts, but the group of power rangers has so far:
mircea_popescu: 1. Not produced one single brilliant solution to any actual problem.
jurov: no proof. just that 0day happens independently from spec
deadweasel: also, it's just software. you ever seen 100% bug free software?
benkay: deadweasel i imagine you see mostly pretty buggy software
mircea_popescu: "o, we just shit in the code because really, who cares"
jurov: why do the girl (or/and you) insists going into such arguments? that's excellent the bait for taking the debate away from core points
mircea_popescu: in this cause because wuille's lie needs to be excised.
jurov: arguing who did or did not solve anything brilliantly or ducttape
mircea_popescu: they try to maintain the client above the spec. this shall not stand.
mircea_popescu: and they need to understand that they are kinda dumb. i dunno why they've not got it this far, but...
jurov: yes, spec+compliance tests. personal performance is tangential
mircea_popescu: it may be tangential technically. there are significant political concerns involved here.

mircea_popescu: does this make me think she was actually any better than i originally thought ?
deadweasel: i'm just curious how big the dev team is and what their budget is.
mircea_popescu: the dev team is about six people (it does not include Luke-Jr, tho he keeps trying to pretend he's a dev)
jurov: i mean, what's the objective? getting devteam to admit their process sucks? then such argument misses the objective (albeit narrowly), cause it's aimed to people, not to process
mircea_popescu: they aren't paid, except for gavin, who is probably not paid anything much at all.
mircea_popescu: the foundation collected about half a million dollars which that conman from ycombinator controls
mircea_popescu: and will probably constitute the scamdrama of this summer.
mircea_popescu: jurov the objective is to illuminate the very rotten structure of their arguments.
jurov: i doubt this approach. you ought to decide whether you want to educate or get things done
jurov: not conflate it together
mircea_popescu: could this be extended to read "you ought to decide whether you want to run mpex, educate or get things done"?
jurov: whatever. as long as you know what ur doing
mircea_popescu: well, i hope i do and that's the best you can possibly get.
mircea_popescu: but if those who get things done don't educate, who will ? those who don't ? we;ve seen the results of that one heh.
jurov: those who will be left behind will educate themselves, as usual
mircea_popescu: i suspect past the original shock a good chunk of them ppl are actually reasonable in the head.
smickles: wait, did i just nix one of them?
jurov: noooo ipv6proxy is just testing site

mircea_popescu: a. mpex deposits and withdrawals are processed manually.
kakobrekla: he throws the coins in the toilet and flushes

mircea_popescu: you should understand deposits by the example i just gave.
benkay: are you talking about mpex deposits into customer addresses?
smickles: benkay: manual withdrawals protect the customer, manual deposits protect mpex (maybe)
benkay: i don't really get why incoming funds need to be processed by hand
jborkl: Lol, withdrawals have been deprecated
benkay: not trying to say you're doing it wrong. trying to understand why you do it the way you do.
mircea_popescu: but think, benkay. version .8 comes out. the chain is split
smickles: ug, who's brilliant idea was it to have an installation video and skip the text version
benkay: thanks for thinking for me.

benkay: so: nail me to the wall on this one, wouldja?
benkay: i've been thinking about generating completely unique receipt addresses for each funding action
benkay: s/completely/moderately
benkay: they're all descended from the same keypair
benkay: generating new receipt addresses for each funding action
benkay: mostly for convenience on the backend
benkay: doesn't address blockchain forking, granted.
benkay: customer hits funding page
benkay: we tie address to user account
benkay: wait for confirmations on spend to new address
mircea_popescu: i could just ask you generate addresses, bloat your wallet to 5gb

benkay: jonathan assia also says interesting things on the bitcoinx dev list
midnightmagic: the dev team effectively includes luke-jr, and a massive amount of work he has done makes it into bitcoind
mircea_popescu: you have to keep the privkeys of all adresses you receive btc in
dub: dont people tend to generate a lot of addresses in advance fot his type of thing?
benkay: ah, so that's how it works today.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Whatever it says there is irrelevant if a huge amount of his work makes it into the codebase.
benkay: what i really want is bip0032 addresses
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic listen up : you folks don't get to change things just by power of friendship which is magic.
mircea_popescu: lukejr would love to be a developer, but he's mostly a useless contributor.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I have no idea what you're talking about now.
midnightmagic: even the stuff he does that doesn't make it in provides backdrop for the stuff that does.

midnightmagic: This is a people issue I bring up, not a by-rights issue. Are you actually interested in persuasion, or just in ranting angrily because.. why?
mircea_popescu: i am interested in splitting any group into two, the sensible and the worthless
mircea_popescu: if people have enough sense, they'll persuade themselves.
smickles: i just filled out a captcha, got it wrong
smickles: the next one says "almost sucker"

mircea_popescu: smickles it's why i never do that, fucking hell i get them wrong half the time
midnightmagic: Reasonable humans will be turned off why your acidity. Are you seriously interested in attracting angry raging psychopaths?
midnightmagic: Much of what you're saying is precisely what the microcash guy was saying.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic i am interested in attracking ACTUAL reasonable people, as opposed to the self proclaimed variety.
dub: and since there is a distinct lack of reasonable humans involved in bitcon dev...
mircea_popescu: dub there's plenty of self proclaimed reasonable people there
jurov: midnightmagic can you name some of the angry raging psychopaths that were attracted to mp?
midnightmagic: jurov: I have seen this happen before with RealSolid.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic you should at some point consider that the similarities you perceive are more a function of dirt on your lens than actual object of observation.
jurov: lol my question was understood the other and third way around
mircea_popescu: similarities are by definition subject to this suspicion.
midnightmagic: So build the alternative already. Hire the cryptographers, coders, project managers, QA staff, and release engineering departments you think are so cheap and visionless on their own. If you think this alternative will win, build it and let it win.
mircea_popescu: "you people fucked up" "please stop telling us we fucked up because :
mircea_popescu: you call this reasonable ? dude, srsly. just becasuse your friends tell you you're pretty doesn't make you easier on the eyes than the average shaved donkey butt
midnightmagic: Since when did I call the bitcoin devs reasonable?
midnightmagic: Obviously the devs themselves aren't going to bother participating in your alternative.
midnightmagic: Whoever it is you think will make your attempt at dividing bitcoin successful.
mircea_popescu: you are telling me about the minute characteristics of a set you can't let alone define other than by reference to me, but even nominally identify in no matter how small a part ?
mircea_popescu: wouldn't this be by definition something i'd know better than you then ?
midnightmagic: You are the one who claimed you are interested in dividing bitcoin, and on one side "ACTUAL reasonable people". You are the one who defined it.
midnightmagic: Again, the difference here is that I am actually trying to communicate, and you are trying to be contradictory.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is NOT the group of idiots that identify with it
midnightmagic: 15:59 < mircea_popescu> midnightmagic i am interested in attracking ACTUAL reasonable people, as opposed to the self proclaimed variety.
mircea_popescu: what i am doing is i am dividing the group of bitcoin supporters, by taking away bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: the reasonable will follow. the "they think are reasonable" will continue in the sort of fanboish obscurity they enjoy.
mircea_popescu: they're kids because their window to man up and "we fucked up, yes" has by now closed.
mircea_popescu: they're drowning in code for quite obvious reasons i won't rehash.
midnightmagic: And users who "support" them. Including the biggest exchange, most of the smaller exchanges, the major developers, the cryptographers who review the work done, the pools who secure the blockchain, and the hardware builders springing up to do so who have already made strong ties with the *current* development team.
mircea_popescu: tyvm. the approximate sum value of your list is epslion.
midnightmagic: I'm saying, "PHP is bad" is just another form of "no true scotsman"
mircea_popescu: and if you think the pools are currently securing anything you're pretty much in the raging psychopath group yourself.
mircea_popescu: what has the successful attack recently demonstrated ?
midnightmagic: Lots of things. I can't possibly imagine which subset of the whole you are referring to.
assbot: [BTCTC] [ASICMINER-PT] 1 @ 0.72 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: i note you picked the stylistical out of that list. do address the lag and the other point sometime.
midnightmagic: I'm not going to defend the bitcoin developers. I'm just interested in what motivates your incredible.. determination.. to rant and attack so endlessly.
benkay: you might want to read polimedia
midnightmagic: benkay: How helpful of you. I bow to your mighty helpfulness.
benkay: if you're being sarcastic, I don't parse sarcasm online.
midnightmagic: benkay: <sarcasm>How helpful of you. I bow to your mighty helpfulness.</sarcasm>
mircea_popescu: someone should make htsp and then have inane specifications
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Look, I'm telling you dude. The more you rant, the more you are going to alienate people who would otherwise be much more interested in supporting your point of view.
benkay: midnightmagic: have you read polimedia?
mircea_popescu: no dude. you are telling me that some vanitous idiots would like the benefit of claiming we're friends
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: You don't have to be friends with someone to engage in civil discourse.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that some people ran off with their c++ hairball implementation of what they call civil discourse
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: And I know of no examples of people who are interested in the Badge: "I tell everybody I'm mircea's friend and reap benefits thereby."
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I would say, good on you for ignoring those people.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic read bitcoin-dev sometime. it's chockfull.
midnightmagic: It is for those exact reasons why the need is great for heterogency in client implementations. Thus, I say you should do it. Create an alternative implementation and go for it.
midnightmagic: Then do it. Do the work that the devs can't or won't, and build the spec.
midnightmagic: As you are so fond of saying, hire the braindead monkeys who can do it *for* you for the peanuts you say they're worth, and have them do it.
mircea_popescu: so i'm takingthat as a sort of up and down and all about no.
midnightmagic: I am not interested in working on that project, if you are offering me a job.
midnightmagic: I know you have trouble when people talk back to you and all, but geez man. At a certain point, don't let the concorde fallacy trap you into pursuing a dead end.

jurov: midnightmagic you revealed your gaping incompetence in this area then
mircea_popescu: seriously midnightmagic, i think you're abstracting your past history of interaction with who knows who and painting it on me.
jurov: midnightmagic, I still lack concrete examples. Names.
jurov: Either the "reaging idiots" who supposedly are attracted to mp
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I have no idea what you're getting at.
jurov: Or the "reasonable people" that would be supportng him "if..."
mircea_popescu: if you spend your childhood living among white people, abnd being told niggers are to be identified by x y z and they do k l m things,
midnightmagic: jurov: Your English still needs work. My verb tense in context was indicative of that-which-happens-from-here-on.
mircea_popescu: you are bound to misbehave wehn confronted with actual black people.
midnightmagic: jurov: I dunno actual names. It's irrelevant to the point.
mircea_popescu: just so, it'd seem to me, you've been told how to identify independent thought, and what great evil it is, and now when you discover it in the actual world you immediately jump to the conclusion tis evil.
jurov: midnightmagic, so there was not the case in the past? what is the problem then?
midnightmagic: Luke-Jr: hello. I hope all my statements including you were correctly inferenced as rhetorical device and not assertions of fact.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I am not afraid to be civil. Why are you?
mircea_popescu: you know, girl wants to get married. after tears have washed pointlessly about the room, her new line becomes "why are you affraid of commitment"
mircea_popescu: i'm not affraid of commitment bitch. i just don't care for your definition of it.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I assert you are, have been, and will likely continue to be uncivil and discourteous.
mircea_popescu: being civil is not a formal concern. it does NOT mean not calling people idiots. if indeed they are idiots then that's that, verity proof.
mircea_popescu: people who lie by presenting the mining corruption as "consensus", they are being uncivil.
mircea_popescu: and on a related point, you don't go to heaven by never saying "jesus sucks" etiher.
benkay: what do you mean by "mining corruption"?
midnightmagic: That is an English definitional nuance which you are assuming, but which is not reality.
mircea_popescu: benkay do you know how the most recent fork was resolved ?
benkay: sort of; devs said "use 0.7" and everyone did
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic that dispute as to reality will have to come to my grave.
mircea_popescu: stalin said "everyone vote" and evertyone did. what democratic process is this ?
benkay: how many times do you think they can pull it off?
mircea_popescu: in an ultimately doomed effort to prop the dirt as respectable.
benkay: that's just politics though
midnightmagic: Gah.. dude.. your weird sayings aren't translating so well.
mircea_popescu: well that's unfortunate for them because i happen to be better at politics than they're at coding.
Luke-Jr: midnightmagic: I didn't understand the context :P
midnightmagic: Luke-Jr: I was just asserting that the amount of work you do in bitcoind essentially makes you a bitcoin developer, even if your name isn't on bitcoin.org.
BitHub: hey guys did you get your ASICMINER div as well?
jurov: Luke-Jr: don't sweat, me too, he sounds serious but in the end it's all just hypothetical
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr he's somehow bothered with everyone mocking you for trying your damnest to pass yourself off as a dev
midnightmagic: Luke-Jr: I also proffered the possibility you didn't want your name up there on purpose, to outline our collective ignorance.
Luke-Jr: midnightmagic: I got that, but .. why did it matter? XD
midnightmagic: Luke-Jr: I dunno why he started ranting about you. But he gets upset when I don't address each of his points individually.
Luke-Jr: midnightmagic: I don't see it as something worth my time arguing a case for.
benkay: has anything in this conversation?
BitHub: ahhh Luke, going there to pick it up?
Luke-Jr: BitHub: not sure if I'll pick it up or let them ship it
Luke-Jr: although I guess they might be expecting me to take it with me
BitHub: are you kind of going there to confirm it all?
BitHub: so you'll pretty much be teh first person with a bfl?
dub: BitHub: yes re: AM div btw (sorry for the on-topic interlude people)
BitHub: this weeks seemed the highest yet
dub: yeah, enjoy, next week is the last
Luke-Jr: BitHub: I'm mainly going there to make sure BFGMiner is ready to go (shipping on the MiniRigs)
dub: catfriedrice said next weeks will fullfil the 'pay out 0.1 first' requirement, which seems about right, so next divs will be half less more expenses
BitHub: good time to sell then

benkay: mircea_popescu: why did you choose to live in romania?
mircea_popescu: back in 2007 it became obvious the us is sinking. didn't want to be on that part of the world. had to go somewhere.
jurov: Ukto if you resize the width to around 1000-1100px
LameCoin-: timisoara is nice its different then the rest of romania
jurov: the view asset bar hides
dub: 19 here, pretty sure it was broke in some previous, goat was having problems a few days ago too
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- it's closer to vienna than bucharest indeed.
Ukto: yeah, i will get it fixed.
assbot: [BTCTC] [ASICMINER-PT] 2 @ 0.72489 = 1.4498 BTC [+]
Ukto: the top bar spans 2 lines and covers it
LameCoin-: mircea: do you think that fork could have been the end of bitcoin?
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- that fork itself could have festered if anyone ddosed the attacking pool.
mircea_popescu: but not really. the burried problems that caused the fork however most definitely will end btcoin if unadressed.
LameCoin-: i really dont like these alternates like litecoin inflating the money supply
benkay: i'm not even convinced we've converged on a codebase
mircea_popescu: just the butthurt when somebody finally says, wait, you think you people matter ?!
mircea_popescu: is ample proof this wasn't even seriously considered, let alone settled.
LameCoin-: the development team became to obsessed thinking they are economists and philosophers
LameCoin-: nerds should never be given any type of authority
mircea_popescu: when they're barely qualified to write code. but anyway :
Ukto: hm, i think I will just move terms and conditions to the footer
mircea_popescu: preparing for the "too big to fail" arguments, it'll be a warm summer.
Ukto: its wasting too much space
BitHub: some of these guys aren't qualified?
BitHub: kind of like getting the airport janitor to fly the plane no?
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- i mean that's what's coming next, "guise our shit has taken too much blood sweat and tears to be abandoned and we should forever wallow in it"
benkay: turbine blade engineer
benkay: still should not fly plane.
LameCoin-: are you suggesting they wont repair the problems?
mircea_popescu: that's what midnightmagic means by concorde fallacy : the mistaken idea that the current codebase is useful because it cost people a lot of money through all the bugs it pushed on them so far.
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- they would if they could. so far their consensus seems to be they're not smart enough to do it.
mircea_popescu: i learned about it when it was 15. bought like 1k worth
BitHub: maybe everyone should pitch in a lil btc to pay teh pros
Bowjob: I told my friend about it
Bowjob: now he's like.. can I buy $300 worth?
LameCoin-: bowjob: less then 0.1% of bitcoiners actually held coins from $2 to $50
Bowjob: I'm like.. no. I can sell you $100
Bowjob: it would be nice if you missed all the crashing
Bowjob: This was when BTC started from 13 to 50 rally
Bowjob: it was 17 when i mentioned it
LameCoin-: mircea it works the same for any bull market, 1983-2000 dow jones 75% of the public didnt even participate one bit
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic do you have the figure for "how much unencrypted wallet.dat" cost ?
Ukto: dub: there, problem fixed
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- this is true. i'm just saying, i think a lot more people held btc than .1%
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Do you have the figure for how much the encrypted wallet.dat has cost?
LameCoin-: i doubt it go read on bitcoin talk how many sold out after 20-30% gains hoping to buy back in
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic sadly power-ranger team has not the time to do any auditing or reporting, so no.
Bowjob: Theres this dude who forgot he had a wallet.dat with lots of coins
Ukto: I was tired of seeing that link up there anyways.
jurov: Ukto, did you test it in chrome?
Bowjob: nah, it was a single person
Bowjob: he gave away 350 BTC to reddit users
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- do you mean .1% by headcount or by coincount ?
Bowjob: i got 5 btc from that stash
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Always the insults. And how does derogatory statements that are purely derogatory fit under the "telling the truth" umbrella you were espousing earlier?
Bowjob: i assume he had thosands
jurov: in konqueror+webkit it still does hide
Ukto: is the terms still at the top ?
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic point of fact is, the only way we know how much implementing it cost is by devteam saying "we spent 5 hours doing this"
jurov: but that's fringe browser, never mind
jurov: no term si on bottom
Ukto: but it acts the same? 0,o
Ukto: i will try to check it a bit later
LameCoin-: mircea: from my studies of markets, it is very very rare that anyone participates in a huge move
Ukto: have to get konqueror
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Were you referring to how many bitcoins were lost due to a wallet being easily stolen by a hacker?
Ukto: either way, thanks for letting me know guys. mucho appreciato. :)
LameCoin-: mircea: considering herding applies to all markets, even bitcoin just go read how many missed the boat on the latest rally over on the forums its astonishing
jurov: Ukto, just get webkit anything, like chromium. konqueror pulls half of kde in.
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- it's a weak supposition this, linear generalisation from fiat to bitcoin markets. we're still working at getting the hang of this
LameCoin-: how many in here rode bitcoin from $2 to 50
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of paradoxical movement (dub was referring one of the more documented types recentyl)
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: So tell me after all these months of vitriol.. how successful have you been at dividing bitcoin into "actual reasonable people" and "worthless" people?
LameCoin-: mircea if you take a poll of channel you will find it to be a small %
midnightmagic: You've been hating on the devs for far longer than that.
LameCoin-: midnightmagic: well he has a point, the devs have turned into economists and politicians, they are suppose to be coders
LameCoin-: midnightmagic: nerds love to give themselves excessive credit when they percieve something going their way
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- i know at least a coupla people here who held, so it'd be above 1% for sure :)
midnightmagic: LameCoin-: I have no idea how you'd even show that without your hypothesis instantly falling to contradiction.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic you still got any coins minted a year or two ago ?
LameCoin-: mircea: what type of market cap are you realstically expecting for bitcoin
mircea_popescu: i'd better start remembering at least the motherfucking titles.
LameCoin-: 14k per coin is enough to support a 50 trillion dollar global economy assuming everyone uses nothing but bitcoin
LameCoin-: so we can assume thousands per coin are not really realistic
dub: LameCoin-: remember we can divide the coins further
LameCoin-: the current world has a base money supply of about 4 trillion
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- notional derivative trade is literally boundless.
jurov: dub, that could end up akin to "oh we can add some bits to internet address later"
mircea_popescu: if it settles in bitcoin it doesn't even matter if the world uses zimbabwe dollars.
mircea_popescu: but that's a minor point comparing to the other hairs sticking out of the code
dub: jurov: it'd require a fork yea
dub: one would hope it isnt going to require as many forlifts as your example
LameCoin-: the balance of macroeconomic power will never shift from the west in our lifetime
LameCoin-: mircea: how so? can you name any innovations/products you actually use from the east?
mircea_popescu: products are not the point. you were discussing macroeconomy.
LameCoin-: the east has nothing to offer to be honest
mircea_popescu: the problem seems to be you're mingling a lot of assumptions crafted for comfort into your estimations.
LameCoin-: china with 1.6billion people has *0* worldwide brands
LameCoin-: the only ones they have were purchased from the west ie lenovo
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- because by "worldwide" you count a pool of 2-300mn people nobody cares abnout.
BitHub: who needs brands when ya making money
mircea_popescu: fact is, the us has zero worldwide brands in the sense that china has baidu and doesn't care about google.
LameCoin-: bithub but they arent making money
LameCoin-: most asian companies have aweful ROI
BitHub: is that why they own most of usa's debt?
LameCoin-: bithub: thats because they recycle it through debasement of their own currency
LameCoin-: mircea: the balance of trade in the EU is positive.
BitHub: west isn't even using m-wallets or m-commerce yet
mircea_popescu: the stakes just got too high for my blood in this convo.
LameCoin-: the US balance of trade is mostly energy
LameCoin-: asians are running modern day versions of mercantalism
LameCoin-: they think the way to prosperity is subsidizing exports in order to accumulate intrinsically worthless dollars
LameCoin-: read what happend to the british when they believed in mercantalism
BitHub: we're making money over ere
LameCoin-: once again, most asians firms have absolutely aweful ROI's
LameCoin-: if the balance of power was shifting to the east we would all be using asian brands and praising asian innovations
LameCoin-: only low end manufacturing comes out of china
mircea_popescu: your asian cultural masters slapped an american looking label on it
LameCoin-: mircea: wrong, only the lowest tech
LameCoin-: the largest exporter in the world per capita is actually germany
BitHub: its true, its a good trick
mircea_popescu: even when it came to it, asian firms delivered mining asics
LameCoin-: they only were capable of producing them
BitHub: but they delivered them
BitHub: what's blf doing again?
LameCoin-: because they have low end manufacturing capability
BitHub: asking for more money?
LameCoin-: when mercedes builds a 100k vehicle in a day
LameCoin-: an asian manufacturer has to produce a months worth+ of low end trinkets
LameCoin-: asian productivity is extremely low
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is mined on asian designed, asian produced, asian delivered asics.
BitHub: mtgox is in asia now btw
LameCoin-: japans entire manufacturing infrastructure was developed from western instruction after WW2
BitHub: nah i dont really care i love both the west and asia
LameCoin-: they just excell at implementation
BitHub: they both got great girls
LameCoin-: name a product innovated from japan?
LameCoin-: all electronics were EU tech, that the japanese perfected
Bowjob: bukakke noodles are delicious
BitHub: used ladies panty vending machines
Bowjob: yeah i forgot about that
Bowjob: where they serve live fish
LameCoin-: as i stated before, if asians were going to rule we would be in awe at all the asian brands\innovations around us
BitHub: you're just racist LameCoin
BitHub: jealous of asia or something
dub: asia survive with brute force, they add little value overwall
LameCoin-: im just stating its a myth that the east is taking anything over
Bowjob: they invented engrish as well
mircea_popescu: this is like saying mpex doesn't add value because css.
mircea_popescu: things don't work that way, you don't get to define what value is.
BitHub: its like saying the scottish and welsh and irish add no value to britian
LameCoin-: the only value asia added was providing cheap manufacturing facilities
dub: all of these tech innovators you ascribe have higher suicide rates in their sweatshops than american unemployment
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [HIM] 6 @ 1.75 = 10.5 BTC [+]
LameCoin-: there are no tech innovators coming out of asia
dub: it will cease to scale at some point
LameCoin-: they dont even have the capacity for advanced manufacturing ie germany style
mircea_popescu: all harddrives in the world are made in the same azn river bank
mircea_popescu: all memory is made there. all semiconductors are produced in asia
LameCoin-: putting a HD together is LOW end manufacturing
BitHub: who needs to innvoate when you can rip everything off
dub: thats edge case shit, they produce tech because we did the maff and worked out it was cheaper to let them do it
BitHub: isn't that what Hollywood did to John WOO?
BitHub: every good 90's action hollywood film wouldn't exists if they didn't rip off HK cinema
BitHub: and the west offers shitty products you don't need?
dub: like spray on cheese and tube fish

dub: though one of my regular haunts has $1/gram steak minimum 200g
dub: thats just he steak too, sides/sauce etc is extra
Bowjob: if its $1 a gram, it better be kobe beef
Bowjob: not some americanized wagyu steak
assbot: [MPEX] [S.DICE] 1 @ 0.00599986 BTC [+]
dub: I want to say australia but I can't remember
Bowjob: theres a ban on export of kobe beef
Bowjob: so it cant be from japan
Bowjob: most likely australia or america
dub: paid $1500 for a table of 5 a little while ago, with plenty of booze
Bowjob: actually, i got my info wrong japan lifted the ban on kobe beef
Bowjob: but it's still ultra rare in north america
Bowjob: i had american wagyu, it was delicious.. I wanna try the real thing one day

benkay: hey mircae_popescu: what will your new method for getting order id's out to brokers be?
benkay: i'm reading your feb 2013 "innards" post
benkay: and how does that manifest as a significant pain point? i haven't noticed a significant lag between when people post orders and when the pastebin goes up
benkay: It doesn’t currently even know what id that order will receive in the trade engine, which is even more inconvenient for brokers that handle multiple customer accounts (but we’re working on a way to significantly mitigate this, which will be the next major update barring exigent necessity).
benkay: so a) what is new method
benkay: and b) not really a question but this is a pain point for people? just wait ten seconds for order id to get returned.
coingenuity: mircea_popescu: yeah, lots of crazy people
coingenuity: mircea_popescu: no idea, i work 20 hour days so i dont really pay attention to forums
coingenuity: mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned, there's nothing of note to read there anyway... just a bunch of bitcoin-tabloid type topics bout nothing :/
mircea_popescu: coingenuity i have people paid to pay attention and i have people paid to man the watchtowers for me.
mircea_popescu: benkay superficially it is not a problem, but on the old system (before the previous upgrade) there existed windows of a few minutes between when the trade engine executed and when the web proxies reported.
mircea_popescu: the solution basically allows the person putting in the order to compute a hash of it and then identify it in their execution reports.
mircea_popescu: at the present time it only works if your order hits the book
mircea_popescu: i am considering expanding it to work both ways and fully identify trades but there's also performance issues to consider and a whole keboodle.

BingoBongo: The problem isn't faster the problem is scalability. SatoshiDice for all I defended it against, with BDB's locking bahavior killed BDB as a bitcoin dependency

Namworld: ASICMINER will need to get a better chip out soon after these first batches tho
dub: pretty sure that was the plan
dub: shrinking the process is not as hard as starting over
ThickAsThieves: mp your article is kinda depressing. i think you might underestimate how many people feel like they are the only ones that see The Right Way, and separately that you could just as easily not be Right at all (life is tricky that way). You seem to care (be bothered by) so much about people that you feel are worth so little.
mircea_popescu: how do you distinguish between the case where you're right and the case where you're wrong
mircea_popescu: obviously this isn't a vestable attribute, like "being tall"
mircea_popescu: well, if you're going the route of relativism might as well forget about action at all
ThickAsThieves: i think human nature includes wanting everyone to be more like what you want
ThickAsThieves: some people handle that by just copying others to be more like the group
mircea_popescu: evolution forces species to be more like "right", for a natural definition of that term.
ThickAsThieves: i'm gonna be careful cuz i'm, not quite the level of philospher/anthropologist you are
ThickAsThieves: but ultimately what's right, it seems, is that which keeps us most adaptable as a species
mircea_popescu: understand, i'm not saying there's anything wrong with the "what keeps me out of pain is right" approach in general.
mircea_popescu: im just saying it's woefully inadequate in anything to do with money, or more generally value
