    jcpham: TL;DR: Here's what happened. When a password reset is submitted, the user receives a random URL by email containing a random 21 letter string. The algorithm used was bad, so the random string could be brut-forced.
    
    jcpham: The OVH team researched 3 years of password changelogs and found 3 customers who had been brute-forced that way, all in the "bitcoin community"
    
    jcpham: sorry i wanted to make sense of what i read

    Framedragger: benkay: sure, unless you / or your hire really know(s) what you/they're doing. running bitcoind under multiple layers of virtualization/isolation (e.g. bsd jails + virtualbox + chroot) is a start
    
    Framedragger: at the very least, that way you at least may attempt to evaluate your risks, possible attack vectors etc. not with cloud hosting / whatever - parts of the hosting infrastructure remain hidden from the client (or their implementations). which generally sucks when somebody discovers that times have changed and some of those hosted machines are now storing highly valuable assets
    
    Framedragger: if you're going to run bitcoind on a $30 Kimsufi rented server with root password reset capabilities in your 'customer control panel', you're gonna have a hard time

    thestringpuller: dude MPOE doesn't hold capital
    
    tiberiusiv: unless hes lieing and just pocketing the coins
    
    thestringpuller: so he won't run out of money
    
    tiberiusiv: and rinse repeat
    
    tiberiusiv: yes they do they hold bondholder capital.
    
    tiberiusiv: thats what the bond gambles with.
    
    tiberiusiv: DUH
    
    tiberiusiv: yes he will unless he finds more suckers to give him bitcoins
    
    thestringpuller: dude the bondholder list is huge
    
    tiberiusiv: no it isnt.
    
    tiberiusiv: why are you still tallking?
    
    jcpham: apparently someone just sent 40 btc to SD in -otc and lost it
    
    thestringpuller: because you're full of shit
    
    jcpham: hurrr
    
    tiberiusiv: mircea admits that over 90% of the bond portfolio is him
    
    thestringpuller: it amuses me how accusatory you are
    
    Framedragger: ouch re: 40btc
    
    tiberiusiv: back on ignore the loser with 2 bitcoins who has no idea how anything works

    benkay: mircea is 68K of 84K in bondholder capital
    
    benkay: only 80.9%
    
    benkay: and this month, only 6.4 kbtc in bonds were sold
    
    benkay: but at 12.5%
    
    benkay: that's a pretty steep rate
    
    benkay: needs to be, to induce people to put up bonds that are almost guaranteed to take huge writedowns
    
    mircea_popescu: benkay only 6.4 in bonds were needed.
    
    deadweasel: projected expenses, right?
    
    benkay: how is necessary bond capital determined? the bot says "I want to underwrite bonds!" and then does so?
    
    mircea_popescu: retroactively. looks how much exposure it had at the point it had the most exposure.
    
    tiberiusiv: benkay hahah
    
    tiberiusiv: deadweasel projected expenses?|
    
    tiberiusiv: are you fucking stupid.
    
    tiberiusiv: how can you project losses from bitcoin volatility.
    
    tiberiusiv: the price can go swing 50% either way
    
    tiberiusiv: mircea popescu LOSES money when bitcoin is volatile
    
    tiberiusiv: which is like 80% of the time
    
    tiberiusiv: mircea the fraud/scammer had to put a 12.5% rate in order to get more greedy idiots to give him bitcoins
    
    benkay: nobody's modeling anything
    
    benkay: nobody's writing this shit up
    
    tiberiusiv: no shit
    
    benkay: it's just a bunch of opionions flying back and forth on irc
    
    tiberiusiv: hes a fraud
    
    benkay: you have a claim
    
    tiberiusiv: needs the activity to stimulate bids for worthless mpex shares
    
    tiberiusiv: that he sells
    
    tiberiusiv: CLASSIC boiler room scheme
    
    tiberiusiv: hence why he does it out of lawless romania where he is untouchable
    
    benkay: so, what would be a good metric for evaluating this claim?
    
    tiberiusiv: what claim? that mircea owns 90%+ of the float and he needs bids to dump into
    
    Framedragger: "lawless romania" haha right
    
    tiberiusiv: romania is the fraud capital of the world for a reason
    
    tiberiusiv: you can buy police/judges quite easily
    
    xire: dun dun dun dun dun da da
    
    xire: here in romania, we make own rules
    
    tiberiusiv: mircea is an egomaniac who wont admit to mistakes
    
    Framedragger: kinda need citations to support these claims, only because ISPs do not prosecute scriptkiddies there does not mean much
    
    tiberiusiv: citations?
    
    tiberiusiv: its the internet fraud capital of the world.
    
    tiberiusiv: go fucking get your own citations
    
    tiberiusiv: a cop costs $200

    tiberiusiv: how convenient mircea is in romania lol
    
    tiberiusiv: poor ass gypsy who resorts to internet scams like his country men
    
    Framedragger: lol, did you read the article you linked to mate, it doesn't really say anything apart from mentioning the keywords that matched your google query
    
    deadweasel: tiberiusiv doesn't take anything in, he merely spews outward
    
    tiberiusiv: theres plenty of articles
    
    Framedragger: "But outside these run-down flats, the streets are full of expensive,  fast cars that are a marked contrast to their surroundings. [same in many countries, saw that in sarajevo, etc] The hackers  like to show off their wealth and power with these high-powered  vehicles, which they race through the streets at night. [this does not follow from the prev sentence"
    
    Framedragger: not sure why i'm responding though :(
    
    tiberiusiv: mircea popescu is a fraud and you will lose
    
    tiberiusiv: once he runs out of bagholders
    
    jcpham: so tiberiusiv do you know mircea_popescu
    
    jcpham: i'm curious about your motivations
    
    jcpham: normally people are vocal about this sort of thing have some one else pulling the strings, so to speak
    
    jcpham: so it seems odd, unfounded, not genuine.
    
    tiberiusiv: right so its a conspiracy now
    
    deadweasel: thestringpuller!!! it's you!
    
    tiberiusiv: you a mircea cheerleader
    
    jcpham: not really. fuck him
    
    jcpham: i don't know him
    
    deadweasel: ^
    
    deadweasel: ditto
    
    jcpham: but i am curious about your motivations
    
    jcpham: at this point
    
    tiberiusiv: i dont have any
    
    tiberiusiv: merely pointing out how his boiler room scam works
    
    jcpham: are you sure about that?
    
    tiberiusiv: mircea needs bids to sell his worthless shares mpex.
    
    jcpham: i'm going to believe you for now i guess
    
    benkay: what about s.dice? is that a scam as well?
    
    deadweasel: bitcoins at any price over 8$ are a scam, go tell #bitcoin-anal about it
    
    jcpham: but your outspoken nature on romanians is highly suspect
    
    benkay: so are MP's on "niggers"
    
    tiberiusiv: benkay: sdice is shady but hard to tell if its a scam or not
    
    mircea_popescu: pfff.
    
    benkay: just elbowing you
    
    tiberiusiv: mircea is a nigger himself
    
    jcpham: smh
    
    tiberiusiv: voorhees does hold a huge par tof the float
    
    tiberiusiv: he loves dumping
    
    mircea_popescu: so bitcoin is a scam or what
    
    benkay: sdice is an awesome example of what happens in economies that think they're unregulatable
    
    jcpham: i think it might be a scam mircea_popescu
    
    tiberiusiv: bitcoin cant be a scam as it does not need endles new bidders
    
    mircea_popescu: jcpham brb gotta post on my blog.
    
    tiberiusiv: mpex does.
    
    jcpham: oh wait tiberiusiv said it isn't a scam now

    jcpham: my mistake.
    
    tiberiusiv: i said MPEX and mircea are scams

    benkay: attack?
    
    jurov: benkay, luke-jr promises to 51% litecoin
    
    benkay: nice
    
    benkay: why?
    
    jurov: supposedly it users scrypt  wrongly and prone to fpgas
    
    dub: because alt coins are bad
    
    dub: and bitcoin needs more drama
    
    benkay: let's all waste the one asset we never get more of
    
    jurov: maybe bitcoin became sentient AI and hates competitors and it's hungry for drama
    
    jurov: and miners are his minions
    
    mircea_popescu: <benkay> why? << because he'd like people to think he still has miner relevance.
    
    mircea_popescu: i guess in the end he'll attack ppcoin or something
    
    dub: kinda surprised he hasnt
    
    jurov: iirc ppcoin uses merged mining with btc

    Tritonio: Can someone explain to me what's the difference between Cryptostocks and Picostocks? I see that Picostocks allow you to do an IPO, while Cryptostocks simply store the stock into your account and then you just regularly sell them on the market.

    mircea_popescu: cryptostocks is an old stock exchange thing. never went anywhere.
    
    mircea_popescu: picostocks is pretty much a scam, a la bitbillions or w/e
    
    Tritonio: old stock exchange? what do you mean? It's an old site or is it old-style stock exchange? And what's old style? :-)
    
    mircea_popescu: it's old as in it existed for more than a year.
    
    Tritonio: I see. And what's w/e?
    
    mircea_popescu: whatever
    
    Tritonio: ah ok I though it was some other scam site.
    
    mircea_popescu: haha would be pretty cool.
    
    mircea_popescu: anyway, the story with picostocks is this dude came out of nowhere, claimed he's making an exchange
    
    assbot: [BTCTC] [ASICMINER-PT] 1 @ 1.222223 BTC [-] 
    
    mircea_popescu: then claimed he's making a fund on his exchange, on ~1mn dollar worth of basics
    
    mircea_popescu: (at the time)
    
    mircea_popescu: then tom folded and the guy was like a ok, making a 1mn worth of some other fpga i think it was
    
    mircea_popescu: he had never bought the chips, he's just a puff artist.

    Tritonio: Vircurex is listed on cryptostocks? I guess that's the biggest company there.
    
    kakobrekla: arent they one and the same ppl
    
    mircea_popescu: Tritonio vircurex and cryptostocks run by the same guy, kumala
    
    mircea_popescu: the offering was a little dubious, too. check the forum thread it's discussed there
    
    Tritonio: I see. The offering you mean the IPO or the contract terms in general? I'm looking for the thread....
    
    Tritonio: Kumala said: "One more week till end of IPO.  Still have quite a number of shares to be sold."
    
    Tritonio: IPO? I just saw that CryptoStocks doesn't offer IPOs.
    
    Tritonio: It just gives you the shares to sell them at whatever price you want, doesn't it??
    
    mircea_popescu: i think so.
