Mircea Popescu*

Amen

True story

Never gonna sell bitcoin and never did. Anyway you have to live and before this stupid clown 🤡 fiat world dies and everything is priced in bitcoin only… will take a lot of time and till that time some hybrid forms are necessary.

He definitely didn’t drown… 3 letter agencies got him

Mircea was the chaos agent we didn’t deserve but desperately needed. Now it’s just influencers chasing clout and tax brackets where’s the rebellion in that.

mircea_popescu , is there any place for mpex chinese/pakistani users to inquiry about the outage?

jurov here basically.

one dude came and seemd completely out of his mind

have him join the chan it can be explained to him.

which one?

Rick___?

yes. he's gone now.

awww that poor dude was sending me crazed messages too.

. fishfish|AFK has quit (Quit: Zzzzz..zzzzz)

but to sum up the situation, cause i imagine many people are curious :

mpex consists of a trade server and webservers which the users talk to.

if you look at it practically these webservers are practically proxies.

there is five of them sharing two gigabit uplinks through a balancer.

the first time mpex was ddosed in january the attack took out the actual datacenter top level router.

there were two more layers of routing to get to the router that handled the webservers.

now, the reason admittedly was that the thing was a little old and kidna loaded. but still.

so at that time i split the tubes up north/east, and started a bunch of proxies

. detro (~detro@165.212.186.27) has joined .bitcoin-assets

jurov was hosting one, for instance.

since the attack started yesterday a total of 100+ of these were taken offline.

granted, it's not easy to blow up a small shared setup like that.

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.

the thing with that system is that it works by division. if there's 100 of them there jurov can stay online.

if there's 9 left the remainder ddos is available to hit him

i could allow anyone to start a proxy right now, the trade server is fine, etc. the problem is

you'd be nuked in half an hour or something, and it's just hassle.

mmm, shake n bake

right.

. sgornick (~steve@unaffiliated/sgornick) has joined .bitcoin-assets

now, a humongo 10gb dedicated solution is being set up as we speak

i had this sort-of prepared, but not actually provisioned and ready because the shit is expensive

so you're having more babies to win the war?

basically.

heh

imsaguy the alternative is handle mpex trades by email.

email, the original next generation mail queue

yep.

how about mpex trades via telnet?

:D

to what ip ?

see, mail is diffuse.

127.0.0.1

lol

I wonder if that makes uunet the original original message queue

Diablo-D3 prolly.

how about mpex over irc?

fuck we need uunet back

that shit was baus

. toffoo (~tof@177.192.120.72) has joined .bitcoin-assets

let freenode get ddos

I hear they like that

imsaguy the problem is irc doesn't handle pgp so well

yes it does

ask gribble

(and i don't think they have enough to cope, but maybe)

I could name a box "chicks" and name a user "i"

:)

and it'd be funny

people pastebin the pgp

feed the bot the raw url

simple as pie

imsaguy yeah. last i talked to nanotube he was like "i don't want this in production handling opm"

I'm not saying graft onto gribble

I'm saying clone

steal the concept

dawg...

fuck you srsly.

why didn't i think opf that

dee oh gee

people can just paste a pastebin link or w/e

oh em gee

derp

lol

and then the bot filters anything not formed as url

thats the first line

imsaguy wanna code an irc proxy for me ?

second line is it only parses text

mircea_popescu: dude, just use perl

all you have to do is take urls from people and feed them into server as pgp strings

no, just fork gribble

so fork gribble, i dun care.

the code for reading pastebin to gpg

its already written

im trying to hire you over here ;/

what's it pay?

gypsie man

pm.

waitwhat? ppl will publish urls to encrypted orders on irc to be picked up by mpoe bot?

. Chilca (~Chilca@c-67-164-89-68.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined .bitcoin-assets

jurov yup

i like this chan, srsly.

ppl are facepalming left and right around me

working on it now

lol you should accept clearsigned orders, too, then.

unencrypted

moar phun

nah.

Larp harder

Bitcoiners in 2024 bought their BTC from Bitcoiners in 2014.

The real toxic Maximalist Bitcoiner was Mircea Pospescu, since his death there is no longer any reference with that scope.

All there are now are babes putting lasers on their photos waiting for a government to approve their shitcoins reserve and waiting for the Fed speech or thinking about how much taxes they have to pay for their Bitcoins.

We came here to fuck with the system, this has been forgotten, and Bitcoin has not changed, the ones who have changed are you.
