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 gov...
<jurov> mircea_popescu , is there any place for mpex chinese/pakistani users to inquiry about the outage?
<mircea_popescu> jurov here basically.
<jurov> one dude came and seemd completely out of his mind
<mircea_popescu> have him join the chan it can be explained to him.
<deadweasel> which one?
<deadweasel> Rick___?
<jurov> yes. he's gone now.
<mircea_popescu> awww that poor dude was sending me crazed messages too.
. fishfish|AFK has quit (Quit: Zzzzz..zzzzz)
<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
. detro ([email protected]) has joined .bitcoin-assets
<mircea_popescu> jurov was hosting one, for instance.
<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.
<imsaguy> mmm, shake n bake
<mircea_popescu> right.

<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> basically.
<Diablo-D3> heh
<mircea_popescu> imsaguy the alternative is handle mpex trades by email.
<Diablo-D3> email, the original next generation mail queue
<mircea_popescu> yep.
<imsaguy> how about mpex trades via telnet?
<imsaguy> :D
<mircea_popescu> to what ip ?
<mircea_popescu> see, mail is diffuse.
<imsaguy> 127.0.0.1
<mircea_popescu> lol
<Diablo-D3> I wonder if that makes uunet the original original message queue
<mircea_popescu> Diablo-D3 prolly.
<imsaguy> how about mpex over irc?
<Diablo-D3> fuck we need uunet back
<Diablo-D3> that shit was baus
. toffoo ([email protected]) has joined .bitcoin-assets
<imsaguy> let freenode get ddos
<imsaguy> I hear they like that
<mircea_popescu> imsaguy the problem is irc doesn't handle pgp so well
<imsaguy> yes it does
<imsaguy> ask gribble
<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"
<imsaguy> :)
<Diablo-D3> and it'd be funny
<imsaguy> people pastebin the pgp
<imsaguy> feed the bot the raw url
<imsaguy> simple as pie
<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> I'm saying clone
<imsaguy> steal the concept
<mircea_popescu> dawg...
<mircea_popescu> fuck you srsly.
<mircea_popescu> why didn't i think opf that
<imsaguy> dee oh gee
<mircea_popescu> people can just paste a pastebin link or w/e
<Diablo-D3> oh em gee
<imsaguy> derp
<mircea_popescu> lol
<imsaguy> and then the bot filters anything not formed as url
<imsaguy> thats the first line
<mircea_popescu> imsaguy wanna code an irc proxy for me ?
<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> no, just fork gribble
<mircea_popescu> so fork gribble, i dun care.
<imsaguy> the code for reading pastebin to gpg
<imsaguy> its already written
<mircea_popescu> im trying to hire you over here ;/
<imsaguy> what's it pay?
<imsaguy> gypsie man
<mircea_popescu> pm.
<jurov> waitwhat? ppl will publish urls to encrypted orders on irc to be picked up by mpoe bot?
