kakobrekla 'industry innovator' it sez. damn right. of chumpatronics. [14:01]
mircea_popescu the history of this "industry" term is so funny. [14:01]
mircea_popescu you will notice it is only used by people who are pointedly not involved in any sort of industrial matter. [14:01]
mircea_popescu it got started by the virtual schmucks of hollywood trying to give themselves some word based weight [14:02]
mircea_popescu much like all the shitty studios of the 50s were called like "empire" and "megaultra" etc. [14:02]
mircea_popescu then, the porn people picked it up. it was a very tongue in cheek sort of thing, originally, like a mockery of hollywood. [14:02]
mircea_popescu but that generation soon got pushed out by the tpg braindamaged set, and what was once irony became cereal. [14:03]
mircea_popescu and from there, via warriorforum and the nerve centers of "i failed local college business school" braindamage... it's in every confidence scam on the webs. [14:03]
mircea_popescu (tpg = thumbnail preview gallery, at the time an innovation that consisted of putting eight, then six, then four then three pics in a row and filling pages with such rows. each pic ideally linked to the material (more pics of the same set). then that evolved into the skim, where some pics are linked to whatever junk being sold etc.) [14:04]
adlai we could replace the term with "commons", to remind the participants that by shitting in the reservoir, they sully their own soup too. eg, "garza is a prominent scammer in the bitcoin commons", "bitcoin is causing a power shift in the pornography commons", etc [14:05]

adlai how so? there's a market, and these "industries" each squabble over their potential market [14:06]

adlai no [14:09]
mircea_popescu marlene dietrich. [14:09]
adlai ok, how is this relevant? [14:10]
mircea_popescu now, look at it. admitting for the sake of thinking that the germans were entertainers, since you're admitting garza is in business [14:10]
mircea_popescu how exactly did the nazis sully the soup for dietrich ? [14:10]
adlai (sounds like a stretch, too, israel has/d plenty of german- and yiddish-speaking immigrants) [14:10]
mircea_popescu but they did not speak german anymore. [14:10]
mircea_popescu look it up, or ask old people that lived it. [14:11]
adlai well there's a huge prejudice against germany the nation and german the language, even among people my age who don't have any family who suffered in the holocaust - but they just inherited the prejudice because it's so pervasive [14:11]

mircea_popescu the irony being that out of the scum in question, no other process can extract any use. [14:31]
mircea_popescu if they were merely offered a fair salary for their work they wouldn't take it because "it's not enough to live on". as if "living" is somehow fixed and god ordered that black guy in missouri must live better than black guy in senegal. [14:32]

adlai you mean why anybody would want to use scalpl? [14:33]
mircea_popescu no, but why would everybody want to use it. [14:34]
mircea_popescu as opposed to you know, one single person (presumably you). [14:36]
adlai not everybody, there are plenty of other places to put money; but it's reached the stage where more people are interested in using this than i'd like to hand-hold through the -entire- setup. (this is a very low number of people, i'm not good at customer support...) [14:36]
mircea_popescu on the 0 1 infinity scale i readily see why 1 rather than 0, i just don't grok why infinity rather than one. [14:36]
adlai there are also two ways of interpreting this question - "why would other people want to use it", or "why would adlai want more people to use it" [14:37]
mircea_popescu right ? [14:38]
adlai to maximize the amount of wealth profiting from stabilizing bitcoin [14:41]
mircea_popescu the logical approach to that is to increase your bankroll, not to spread among a bunch of idiots. [14:41]
mircea_popescu there's a reason capitalism historically flows towards enriching nodes, not elevating the graph. [14:41]
adlai who says i'm not doing both at once? [14:42]
mircea_popescu i don't per se care what yu do, it's a moral discussion. [14:42]
mircea_popescu "what should be done." [14:42]
adlai right. if i get a well-capitalized account profiting from this, what's morally wrong with that? [14:43]
adlai you could point out that i've fallen short of pure greed by not accepting investment, paying dividends, and retaining some fee as a personal profit [14:44]
mircea_popescu nothing at all. (note that i use "moral" properly, not in the bastardized form common among the plethora of would-be stalins without the ballsack.) [14:44]
mircea_popescu let's put it in more general terms. you're proposing to lower the bar of what constitutes a qualified investor. [14:45]
mircea_popescu you propose this as an obvious good. [14:45]
mircea_popescu i dun see the obviousness and hence the inquiry. [14:45]
* CryptoGoon has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) [14:45]
adlai i'm not proposing to lower it to the ground, scalpl works quite badly on small accounts, and even with the usability changes i'm imagining, it'll be easy to footgun without either my help or some level of understanding on behalf of the shooter [14:47]
mircea_popescu the degree wasn't in question. [14:47]
adlai well, i do think that an oligarchy is better than a monarchy, if that's what the question is [14:48]
kakobrekla what is a small account ? 0.1 ? 1? 10? 100 ? [14:48]
mircea_popescu adlai why ? [14:48]
mircea_popescu (and generally, moral thought proceeds quite strictly : 1) is this a good thing or a bad thing ; 2) how much of it ? there's no overalpping these stages) [14:49]

mircea_popescu generally, people tend to hurl as insults/bombs/damage to others what they're most afraid of themselves. there's a very good reason color revolutions exist, and it has nothing to do with ukraine or gaddafi. [14:51]
mircea_popescu errything to do with what every senator knows and fears at home. [14:51]
kakobrekla i havent used any exchange with api for over a year [14:52]
adlai my thinking is along the lines of a society/economy not having all its eggs in one basket. it doesn't have to have one egg per basket, with daily redistributions; a "fit economy still has strong inequality, but it's not skewed all the way to either side of the spectrum [14:52]
mircea_popescu adlai ok but i dunno how this relates to discussion [14:54]
adlai and if morality is part of the question... deep down, i'm one of those software freedom zealots. not quite to the point of GPLing everything i write, but yes to the point of sharing my work. [14:54]

mircea_popescu this has little to do with the software in question mind. [14:54]
adlai why not? i've written something useful, i'm trying to make it more useful, and i _believe_ (ie, an opinion more grounded in emotion than evidence) that the right thing to do is share this [14:55]

mircea_popescu why do you propose it as a good. [14:57]
mircea_popescu i can readily construct a scenario where it harms, if it helps. [14:58]
adlai please do, i'm typing up another answer attempt meanwhile [14:58]
mircea_popescu okay. suppose currently robot has use cost X, expressed in some translated value of he sophistication/time/etc needed to use it. [14:59]
mircea_popescu suppose you move it to X-e [14:59]
mircea_popescu this increases the pool of users from U to U+x. the average sophistication of x is < than the average of U. in fact it's common even if we won;t rely on it that the peak of x is under the lowest of U. [14:59]
mircea_popescu this will increase failures from F to F+y, where y/F > x/U > e/X [15:00]
mircea_popescu this is the definition of harm. [15:00]
adlai we know nothing about failure rates from outside U, or failure rates of the original users after more have joined [15:01]
mircea_popescu in which case at most we can't say whether it's a good or bad idea, and shouldn't bother with it at all ? [15:01]
adlai the way scalpl works currently, you can use it badly and lose money, just like with any investment; and that is likely to never change [15:01]
mircea_popescu yes, but by the time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ7mhLp0abU get involved, you know they'll mostly lose. [15:02]

mircea_popescu is it any good ? [23:38]
PinkPosixPXE ovh works for our ipv4 stuff [23:38]

ben_vulpes i've been digging through https://twitter.com/ipxcore/ (ghetto vps) for uptime gems [23:39]
assbot IPXcore (@ipxcore) | Twitter ... ( http://bit.ly/1AulBU2 ) [23:39]
PinkPosixPXE but ipv6 is more difficult, so this does a count on the packets, and if it exceeds the limit, it finds the ipv6 address, and vps in question, and then disables those addresses on the vps so they can't be targetted [23:39]
mircea_popescu cazalla yeah i see. qntra is so successful i got lost among the articles :) [23:39]
mircea_popescu PinkPosixPXE doesn't sound like much mitigation. [23:39]
PinkPosixPXE I'm going to update it to set a timer to re enable them after a certain period of time and do some updates to it, but it's been keeping things up for the last few weeks [23:39]
PinkPosixPXE well when the packet limit is breached, usually the vps will be suspended [23:40]
cazalla mircea_popescu, i was first! as they say, some people are so far behind the race that they actually believe they are leading :P [23:40]
PinkPosixPXE automatically [23:40]
mircea_popescu lol [23:40]
ben_vulpes PinkPosixPXE: is this for outbound ddossing? [23:40]
PinkPosixPXE this ensure the vps won't be suspended, and just removes the target ipv6 ips [23:40]
PinkPosixPXE until the attack stops [23:40]
PinkPosixPXE it's a better solution for customers than 'container susspended again' [23:41]
PinkPosixPXE suspended* [23:41]
mircea_popescu PinkPosixPXE how about write the script so that you keep track of foreign hosts, and once packet limit is reached for a vps all foreign hosts that aren't on the list of hosts it connected in the past 24 hours get banned across the entire network ? [23:41]
PinkPosixPXE sorry, been migrating and snapshotting containers to this new server all day [23:41]
PinkPosixPXE the attacks are all .cap'd and then the ip's are all reported to ovh to be added to ddos mitigation [23:42]
mircea_popescu "oh, i see you're trying to connect to a vps that a) you've not connected before and b) is being attacked ? come back next week." [23:42]
PinkPosixPXE and a null route is put in place as well [23:42]
PinkPosixPXE but often times they are spoofed source ip's [23:42]
PinkPosixPXE so that can sometimes be ineffective long term [23:42]
mircea_popescu why is ovh allowing spoofs inside ? [23:42]
mircea_popescu nm. ovh. [23:42]
PinkPosixPXE ipv6 ddos attacks are just a pain all around [23:42]
PinkPosixPXE it's a different beast [23:43]
PinkPosixPXE this runs on the host node [23:43]
PinkPosixPXE this way people can still get on their nodes, and are just informed that we've removed a few ipv6 addresses that were being attacked.. instead of their node being suspended and shut off, and they are then freaking out [23:44]
PinkPosixPXE and before long the addresses come back up when the attack dies down [23:44]
PinkPosixPXE anywho [23:44]
PinkPosixPXE it is a band-aid until we can figure something better out [23:44]
PinkPosixPXE but it saved our butts quite a bit over the last few weeks [23:45]
* assbot removes voice from Phraust [23:45]
PinkPosixPXE and this isn't exactly how I'd setup vps hosting [23:45]
PinkPosixPXE I have 3 vps' at a very large (Free) discount with this provider [23:46]
PinkPosixPXE and root on the host node [23:46]
PinkPosixPXE and made a migration script for us to migrate to the new node, helped him pick it out [23:46]
PinkPosixPXE I'm learning how sloppy some of it is [23:46]
PinkPosixPXE I will probably eventually buy a dedi that's a bit better than the our new one [23:47]
PinkPosixPXE and split off my own vps services [23:47]
ben_vulpes here's to dedis [23:47]
PinkPosixPXE on my own host [23:47]
PinkPosixPXE but that's down the road a month at least [23:47]
ben_vulpes PinkPosixPXE: you launch a VPS service, take BTC (don't even denominate in BTC), and you've got custom right here. [23:47]
PinkPosixPXE yea, I was thinking about that [23:47]
PinkPosixPXE and I plan to offer BTC as payment [23:48]
PinkPosixPXE as well as DDOS mitigation, and of course ipv6 [23:48]
PinkPosixPXE now that I've helped run, and in some ways rescue this vps provider [23:48]
ben_vulpes if you can afford to denominate in btc... [23:49]
ben_vulpes gamechanger right there. [23:49]
PinkPosixPXE and get the migrations streamlined to the new host [23:49]
PinkPosixPXE I can see where I can put together a much better product [23:49]
kakobrekla see what i told you, wife material right there. [23:49]
PinkPosixPXE yea, after I wrote the vps migrate script for him today [23:50]
ben_vulpes !s wife material [23:50]
PinkPosixPXE after we migrated a few [23:50]
assbot 1 results for 'wife material' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=wife+material [23:50]
PinkPosixPXE and fixed about 10 issues he ran into within 5 minutes [23:50]
PinkPosixPXE but mostly after the script [23:50]
PinkPosixPXE he said he was going to force me to marry him one day [23:50]
PinkPosixPXE and that it may be by gunpoint [23:50]
ben_vulpes good thing you've got your own equalizer then huh [23:50]
PinkPosixPXE yep haha [23:51]
PinkPosixPXE I'm probably a better shot too :x [23:51]
BingoBoingo That helps. [23:51]
PinkPosixPXE ben_vulpes: I might need you (or some of you guys) as resources regarding I ensure I setup my bitcoin merchanting properly [23:52]
PinkPosixPXE I've done some research [23:52]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3300 @ 0.00064049 = 2.1136 BTC [+] [23:52]
PinkPosixPXE and know how to add it [23:53]
ben_vulpes are you planning to convert directly to fiat? [23:53]
kakobrekla he means if you gonna be a bitch! [23:53]
PinkPosixPXE I will probably have a recurring tool that converst a portion of it to fiat [23:53]
PinkPosixPXE converts* [23:53]
PinkPosixPXE I wouldn't make it all fiat [23:54]
PinkPosixPXE I'm not bailing on bitcoin [23:54]
PinkPosixPXE recent drops don't scare me [23:54]
kakobrekla its ok hon you can be honest here. :) [23:54]
PinkPosixPXE in fact, I've been buying more as it's gone down [23:54]
PinkPosixPXE it's the holidays.. [23:54]
ben_vulpes PinkPosixPXE: the simplest and most robust approach is going to be to quote specific prices and have that exact qty remitted to an addr of your control [23:55]
ben_vulpes use a btcd to watch incoming blocks for confirmations [23:55]
ben_vulpes there's some bookkeeping to be done in terms of counters in the itty bitty satoshis, to avoid dup transaction amounts [23:55]
PinkPosixPXE ok, that makes sense.. so basically I can keep the bitcoin price in flux with what the current price is [23:55]
PinkPosixPXE BTC match up to current USD [23:55]
ben_vulpes right [23:55]
PinkPosixPXE or whatever currency [23:55]
ben_vulpes that's your quoting logic [23:56]
PinkPosixPXE yea, that shouldn't be too bad, sweet [23:56]
ben_vulpes totally orthogonal to the accepting of bitcoin [23:56]
PinkPosixPXE yea, I've noticed it where I shop using bitcoin quite a bit [23:56]
ben_vulpes what you *don't* want to do is send each txn to seperate addrs. [23:56]
ben_vulpes you could, ofc. [23:56]
ben_vulpes there are clever things you could do with hashing the order and using that as a private key for receipts or something like that... [23:57]
ben_vulpes but don't. [23:57]
PinkPosixPXE ok, good to know [23:57]
PinkPosixPXE yea, these were some of the things I was curious about [23:57]
ben_vulpes don't depend on an external api to monitor the blockchain [23:57]
ben_vulpes use bitcoin-rpc calls to watch for incoming blocks, scrape for txns to your addr [23:58]
ben_vulpes and don't put the key anywhere near that bitcoind [23:58]
kakobrekla wait whut is this no separate address bsns [23:58]
PinkPosixPXE oh yea, api -> webapp -> blochain updates.. too slow [23:58]
PinkPosixPXE that makes sense [23:58]
ben_vulpes kakobrekla: do whatever you want, cartman [23:58]
ben_vulpes you have a thing that works, congrats. [23:58]
kakobrekla ?? [23:59]
ben_vulpes http://bitbet.us ?? [23:59]
assbot BitBet ... ( http://bit.ly/1Ie6Bdl ) [23:59]
kakobrekla i dont understand y no unique address per order? [23:59]
