mircea_popescu: seems to me like someone likely ran off with a wallet.
mircea_popescu: curious if this ends up going the way of btcxchange
cazalla: well, the wallet that was last audited has been empty since early dec
decimation: the bid/ask spread on eur/usd spot runs about 3 to 4 mili-cents (w/comission)
decimation: for mar 2015 Euro Futures, price 1.1949 with a 32k volume
decimation: to buy a call that expires 15 jan on the mar 2015 future, for a strike price of 1.19 costs $0.0096
mircea_popescu: don't do options on futures, do spot options.
Fun: mircea_popescu: whats the difference?
mircea_popescu: that one is an option on the future and the other on the spot o.O
mircea_popescu: what's the difference between apple pie and pineapple pie ?
decimation: yeah I'm trying to find the options on spot (seems it would be easier) but I am having trouble
mircea_popescu: irrespective of widespread belief to the contrary, im pretty sure no entity currently can value options on forex futures
decimation: they certainly exist
mircea_popescu: the catholic church also "exists"
decimation: are you implying that markov chains are doing what they do?
mircea_popescu: in the sense that one can hang himself from it.
decimation: actually options on spot probably don't exist, come to think on it
mircea_popescu: look at the math involved sometime in an idle hour, but from a fundamental perspective, none of that "this is hw it's done because it's how it's done" circularity.
decimation: like, why would you pay to deliever something that's only valued today?
decimation: I guess my point is that a promise to deliver a euro tomorrow isn't a spot price
BingoBoingo kind of really wants kakobrekla to write an "I told you so" piece on Bitstamp
mircea_popescu: this is true
thestringpuller: Bitcoin has died 23 times
mircea_popescu: but an option to deliver tomorrow an euro deliverable next week is a whole other layer of nutso.
decimation: yeah fair point
decimation: so weirdly my brokerage doesn't appear to have spot (freestyle?) forex options, only options on futures
decimation: it does appear that forex is a very specialized thing that varies widely with brokerage
mircea_popescu: yes but use an option for mar on the mar future.
decimation: !up Fun
Fun: they package stuff to confuse people imo
mircea_popescu: rather than a jan option on the mar future.
Fun: derivative on top of derivative
mircea_popescu: Fun noobs have a reputation of wishing to get involved in the most complex end of any matter first thing.
mircea_popescu: this is no different.

Fun: I was watching RBK today, chairmain of Russian Commerce Chamber was going on that some russian companies need to refinance tons of mid term debt soon in what I presume usd :) I was thinking here that sounds fishy how come they havent hedged FX risk from the start
Fun: :)
mircea_popescu: Fun because a) it costs money and b) they don't care, because it's not really their problem.
Fun: more of b they hope gov will tell some bank to bail them out
decimation: k. a Mar 15 call for a march euro strike 1.19 costs 0.0221 and a put costs 0.0172
Fun: 0.02 is cheap
mircea_popescu: uptrend huh.
Fun: those are 125,000 lots so say 1% move is 1,250 gain?
mircea_popescu: no dude.
mircea_popescu: if it goes to 1.2121 you break even
Fun: but it may well outperform strike price
mircea_popescu: if it outperforms it by 2 cents and 21 hundredths you make money.
Fun: atm 1.1939
Fun: I see
Fun: there is some vol on 11800.0
Fun: march 2015
Fun: so say 0.10 gain minus 0.0281 thats 0.7 approx * 125.000 right?
Fun: 0.0281 option cost
mircea_popescu: i like people who pretend their convenient misunderstanding is more powerful than reality.
decimation: the bid/ask spread on that mar 15 call runs about ~0.007
Fun: mircea_popescu: what do u mean? feel free to correct calculations
mircea_popescu: i have, above.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 7009 @ 0.00064576 = 4.5261 BTC [-]
Fun: there is option cost per lot
Fun: and strike price
Fun: ok u think price wont change that much?
Fun: decimation: 0.007 is fine imo
thestringpuller: "You know you've done things right when people don't think you've done anything at all"
mircea_popescu: i fucking hate webrot.
mircea_popescu: ;;seen khers oh what's the use

thestringpuller: blame nanotube :D
Fun: lol
Fun: so how do people register to talk here? ":
Fun: :)
thestringpuller: as of now you don't
Fun: cool
Fun: makes sense
thestringpuller screams nanotube like Kirk sceams Khan.
Fun: decimation: which broker do u use?
decimation: td ameritrade
Fun: thats a big one
Fun: strange they dont offer whole range to you
Fun: decimation: also options prices seems so cheap
Fun: maybe I am missing something?
decimation: they are known for their platform
Fun: yes
Fun: canuck bank :D
ben_vulpes: !up fun
ben_vulpes: man how long can we keep this juggling act up?
Apocalyptic: it's gonna be a while
Fun: or change assbot rules?
Fun: :D
thestringpuller: Apocalyptic: you think gribble won't be back for a few days? Weeks?
thestringpuller: This is personally the longest I've ever seen gribble AWOL.
Apocalyptic: same here
ben_vulpes: pretty impressed that single point of failure went this long without failing.
ben_vulpes: i hope everyone's been taking backups of the db.
decimation: it's odd that gribble died the same time that bitstamp was hacked
Fun: not odd related
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: the back up is on OTC website
thestringpuller: it's pretty redundant
ben_vulpes: fun and how would you know?
Fun: logic
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: and how would you know if the db'd changed?
thestringpuller: That I cannot verify!
thestringpuller: OH NOES we have a dilemma
ben_vulpes: Fun: try again, that kind of statement doesn't hold any water with me.
Fun: decimation: so yes about forex dont u think those options are kinda cheap
decimation: I donno man, I don't really daytrade fx options
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] i like people who pretend their convenient misunderstanding is more powerful than reality. << an amusing thing to cross at this moment
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: in all srsns single point of access == single point of failure
Fun: decimation: nor do I however in light of recent geo political events it seems neat thing to do
danielpbarron: kakobrekla> any bitcoin poker site already struggles for existence or is half dead or completely dead << because they don't use the WoT
Fun: :D
mircea_popescu: <thestringpuller> This is personally the longest I've ever seen gribble AWOL. < same here.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> pretty impressed that single point of failure went this long without failing. << same here #2
Fun: as to reality if drunk person mistakes tree for say a monster he will hack it
thestringpuller: but what is the alternative? nanotube would have to trust someone else to maintain gateway into WoT?
Fun: so no matter how reality is perceived human action does alter it :D
ben_vulpes: meanie
thestringpuller: that was quick.
thestringpuller: damn, I guess we just pray nanotube isn't locked up in some mexican prison somewhere
ben_vulpes: where does extraordinary rendition happen these days?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes weren't you complaining bout the endless log an hour ago ?
ben_vulpes: watching the thing scroll by as my bouncer replays it makes things look longer than they are
ben_vulpes: !up kermit

kakobrekla: i dont get this scoopbot 30 min delay + fetch command. when i setup rss feed for herr vulpes jenkins (which is now offline for some reason) i hit it once a minute cause i give no fucks. no need for this -fetch nonsense if you change the interval to something saner.
kakobrekla: its not like we gonna run out of internets anytime soon.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla trilema rss is 15 minutes delayed anyway
davout: makes sense, the hash, salt and nonce fiddling is to prevent against replay right?
kakobrekla: set it 5min for trilema, 1 min for qntra etc
kakobrekla: forget the fetch nonsense.
mircea_popescu: davout no, it's to make mitm and masquerading much harder.
davout: apart from replaying i can't think of an example where GPG isn't enough a protection already
davout: s/enough/enough of/
mircea_popescu: a replay "attack" coming from a trusted host carries a very large cost. they'll get banned.
mircea_popescu: tbh the l2 list etc has been a revelation in computer security for me.
mircea_popescu: it's been much better stated by smarter men, of course. http://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/editorials/dumb/

davout: i was thinking rely on GPG and simply encode a nonce in the message
mircea_popescu: davout suppose i send spoofed ip messages.
mircea_popescu: i can encode to your public key.
mircea_popescu: what now ?
mircea_popescu: in the design as is, now you reject my junk because i don't know the salts.
davout: i discard your messages since it doesn't bear a valid GPG signature
mircea_popescu: messages don't need to be signed.
mircea_popescu: and this deliberately.
davout: if they were wouldn't that remove the salts requirements?
mircea_popescu: it would but it's moot, because i'm not about to require people to sign everything they say.
davout: because if you know the server's key, you're probably aware of the salts etc
davout: ic
mircea_popescu: how does that work ? you know my ip and his gpg pubkey.
mircea_popescu: how does this make it probable you have root on my box ?
davout: i meant if you raped the server for its key, you may as well have the salt and stuff
mircea_popescu: pubkey ?
davout: both
mircea_popescu: o you meant in your signed alt-spec. mkay.
davout: i didn't think of the requirement to sign as an issue actually
mircea_popescu: actually, it occurs to me this needs some padding.

diana_coman: I never got why are people supposed to prove that they are not computers/bots, really
mike_c: before that captcha the wiki was swarmed with thousands of fake accounts and pages
mike_c: they were creating hundreds of users and pages a day
diana_coman: uhm, so you're saying that effectively for all behaviour, there really ARE more bots (be it blood and flesh and bones ones) than people around on the internets
diana_coman: could be, I guess
diana_coman: I confess I did not really look into it, but I'd rather look for some way to block bots away without the expense for actual humans - dunno, maybe some kind of timestamp check thing or something similar
mike_c: Trilema tries that
diana_coman: and doesn't it succeed?
mike_c: and it is not unusual for it to catch humans
diana_coman: hmmm, I guess then the question remains on how often that happens
diana_coman: I mean: if you ask by default humans to prove, than it happens each and every time, really, no choice there
mike_c: only each and every time you post a link.
diana_coman: really? how is that?
mike_c: idk, the thing has some smarts. but that's why it worked sometimes and not others.
diana_coman: do you mean posting a link on trilema or on the wiki>
mike_c: the wiki
diana_coman: a, ok, I don't know about that
diana_coman: at least it did not ask me to identify cats and dogs...
mike_c: the thing is, the trilema one is extremely frustrating when it misfires.
mike_c: because you don't know even know why
diana_coman: well, so you go and yell at the owner, lol
diana_coman: that must at least let some frustration out
mike_c: yes, but this is hardly a good solution for a wiki. you, for example, did not go yell at the owner
mike_c: you just didn't post
diana_coman: true, because I thought that well, if there is some interest in the thing, they will come asking on eulora /irc and then we sort it out
diana_coman: no need to sort it out earlier
diana_coman: and there you came asking, so it worked
diana_coman: I did raise the problem on eulora channel
mike_c: yes, but it took six weeks. picking some cat photos seems like less of a pain.
mike_c: but, this is religious debate.
diana_coman: on some days I admit I might send the cats and dogs and site to all hell and as a result not post
mike_c: hehe
diana_coman: but then again, that might be just me, I admit it
diana_coman: btw, out of curiosity: why is this eulorom site apart entirely from mingame.bz? I thought eulora was essentially made by minigame so I don't quite follow the different sites/lack of links or is there something I'm missing?

asciilifeform: punkman: [fpga thread] would MIPS be easier than x86? or does the problem lie in connecting the thing to outside world (fast RAM, peripherals, etc) << problem is that you can't make so much as a barrel shifter on any extant fpga without using a closed turd from the vendor - actually, two turds: one in the logic library part itself, other - the synthesis toolchain
asciilifeform: punkman: one can attempt to work with just the synthesis toolchain (no escape from it) and use netlists of 'raw' logic - i.e. simple universal constructs like 'nand gate'. the result - go try it - a very simple kindergarten-level circuit fills up the entire chip, with glacial performance (gate delays measured in msec!)
asciilifeform: this is because the entire fpga concept, as imagined by n00bs to the subject, does not actually work.
asciilifeform: folks doing actual work with fpga make very light use of the general-purpose routing matrix
asciilifeform: and of the LUTs
asciilifeform: mostly they hook up vendor 'library' parts together. these usually (though not always) correspond to miniature 'islands' of asic present on the chip
asciilifeform: e.g., an adder, a shifter, uart, 500 other kinds of part.
asciilifeform: punkman: but back to original question, mips is vastly easier to implement in programmable logic of whatever kind than x86. this ought to be obvious to anyone with even an evening's familiarity with both.

kakobrekla: [02:25:27] <kakobrekla> freenode is broken by default as it will show your ip plainly
kakobrekla: [02:25:49] <svetlana> it is rather trivial to look through cloaks (chanserv can, and anyone can query chanserv with various cidrs and ask whether people match).
kakobrekla: !up svetlana
mircea_popescu: let's start with something simple. who is svetlana.
svetlana: I might suggest not using cloaks as the solution here. Using cidr entries in access list, and /cs why, it's quite trivial to look through them. We don't want to "teach" whoever is ddosing here that -- he'd keep doing his thing.
asciilifeform: what is the suggested solution (other than '+i' which was discussed at one point, bitter pill)
svetlana: Instead, get affected people to check their router logs and get more details about the attack.
asciilifeform: svetlana: i got a massive packet dump, and so has kakobrekla
asciilifeform: svetlana: standard ntp and ssdp 'amplification' attack
mircea_popescu: and "more details" will do what ?
svetlana: asciilifeform: It is not rather dumbly from a single IP, is it?
asciilifeform: svetlana: not familiar with term 'amplification attack' ?
BingoBoingo: svetlana: It is some asshole herding wayward machines
BingoBoingo: routers, servers, the occasional 10 kilo wordpress sites
asciilifeform: svetlana: perhaps you know it under another name. attacker sends spoofed packets to a series of machines, usually misconfigured routers and embedded systems of other kinds
asciilifeform: these reply with N bytes for each spoofed byte sent, hence term 'amplification'
asciilifeform: but they reply to the spoofed address (victim's) rather than attacker's.
svetlana: If the details that you have are not sufficient (which is somewhat often the case), we have to apply discretion and judgment to figure out who it is (before +i, it might make sense to use +r and see if it makes things stop).
mircea_popescu: svetlana so far, we still don't know who you are.
asciilifeform: aha, suggestion is that we occupy ourselves with a permanent game of whack-a-mole.
svetlana: I am from another channel where wc- was complaining about the issue. Couldn't suggest anything but not perceiving cloak as the solution, to him.

svetlana: I didn't think that discussing non-bitcoin stuff here is very welcome, but if you want me to stop talking with you in /msg I'm fine with that :)
kakobrekla: its very welcome as long as its not nonsense.
BingoBoingo: svetlana: You'd e surprised how infrequent specific BTC talk is here
svetlana: isn't vpn distributed? I'm rather surprised at that reaction
svetlana: I don't expect it to be very easy to attack ...
thestringpuller: cazalla: you around?
cazalla: mebe, no time for pokemon atm though
BingoBoingo: svetlana: Specific VPN's are centralized
cazalla: bit bored of it atm tbh, might take a little break from it and come back to it in a few weeks
svetlana: I'll get someone to write a good guide on the bitcoin wiki (I'm not good at this subject and I found someone who is better)
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla asciilifeform slow, but i see it. anyway, eventually derp will run out of juice in an hour or whatever xmas money affords and that's that.
kakobrekla: you think it lizards ?
kakobrekla: svetlana vpn is not much better than a bnc and tor wont fly here.
kakobrekla: whats next, sending people to ircloud ?
BingoBoingo still waits for avians to depose lizards
mircea_popescu: all this emotion talk, surprises, expectations, feelings and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: is it women in tech day or something ?
svetlana: irccloud is pretty central; I'll disappear for a bit, thanks for bearing with me
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, it is this years's Derp spores beginning to emerge from the damp log.
BingoBoingo hopes these sutures heal without much of a scar.

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 10624 @ 0.00063471 = 6.7432 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: o wow so it was "hacked" eh ?
mircea_popescu: not fractional reserve or anything.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, they claim to be able to over all, but they admit to 18k + "gone"
mircea_popescu: and they can cover 5mn+. through the process of what ?
BingoBoingo: On Coindesk of course. Never on their official site
mircea_popescu: they're not worth 5mn.
mike_c: <@mircea_popescu> how often has it happened ot you ? << I like your system. But diana was proposing it as bulletproof or panacea for all ills.
mike_c: of which it is neither
mircea_popescu: mike_c was more curious trying to keep track of that eternal "nobody complains so no problems" thing
mircea_popescu: afaik it works fine, but then again how do i know.
mike_c: that is a much bigger problem on the wiki. For you, you will get x comments and know there are 10x problems
mircea_popescu: "A total of 18,867.62695929 BTC were moved from BitStamp's hot wallet"
mircea_popescu: maybe i'm confused.
mike_c: I will get 0 comments and have no idea how bad the problem is.
mircea_popescu: but wtf is 18k doing in a hot wallet.
mircea_popescu: mike_c that's a point.
mike_c: s/comments/complaints/
kakobrekla: the wallet is cold only if its empty, doh.
mircea_popescu: "BitStamp surpassed Mt Gox is trading volume in 2013, largely on the strength of its not being Mt Gox."
mircea_popescu: well... fixed that.
thestringpuller: is qntra down for anyone else?
mircea_popescu: kako sounds so angry in interviews. you gotta relax for teh press man!
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller for a selected few.
thestringpuller: ah. dat ddos
kakobrekla: that is taken from forums from years ago?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla oh i thought it was new. mah bad.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Yeah, last June
kakobrekla: forums really pissed me off.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: If you want to write a "Bitstamp always sucked piece" Qntra could run it.
kakobrekla: now that im banned im just depressed.

BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: You know desoxyn is a hell of an anti-depressant
mircea_popescu: "the smaller sum of 18,000 BTC missing presents a still more onerous obstacle than Mt Gox faced in absolute terms as that many Bitcoin are largely unavailable to most people at any price denominated in national currency."
mircea_popescu: definitely to people without a wot.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo stop getting my casino cookie guy hooked on sugars.
kakobrekla: actually not reading chan to be reminded how all sucks helps as well.
BingoBoingo: Even with. With WoT you'd still likely need a more tangible item to trade for that many than $$$$... Prolly Plutonium would do.
mircea_popescu: poor kako. everyone sucks, and then he gets depressed and teh woman offers to suck him...
BingoBoingo: Space ship might barely do.
thestringpuller: Plutonium gives you ball cancer.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Apparently you aren't supposed to use the powder for that.
asciilifeform: lol, emotions!
assbot: Logged on 08-10-2014 17:47:47; *: asciilifeform has only a simple four-bit feelings register (sloth, avarice, lust, wrath)
BingoBoingo: So this internet of things... What the fuck is not intuitive enough about how a stove works already.
thestringpuller: Dude i know
thestringpuller: the CEO of the company I'm at keeps using that word all the time
thestringpuller: "We are ready for the internet of things"
thestringpuller: "The internet of things this, and that"
thestringpuller: i hate it more than "The cloud"

thestringpuller: lol i'm not pokemone master
thestringpuller: not since 99'
mircea_popescu: decimation there's a fundamental difference between those who use tools and those who make tools.
decimation: what about those who make 'tools'?

BingoBoingo: At this rate actual IPv4 addresses will never be exhausted. too many are simply occupied atm by lusers and spammzors
mircea_popescu: or derps.
mircea_popescu: ipv4 "not being enough" is a sad symptom of letting too many people in.
mircea_popescu: sort-of like "there are not enough places in college for all the kids"
mircea_popescu: backwards.
BingoBoingo: Except now there are too many places in college for the kids, because people dun wanna go no moar.
mircea_popescu: also that.
mircea_popescu: so practical macroeconomics exercise. venezuela, which is in the shitter, quotes the dollar officially at 12 bolivars. meanwhile, black rate is ~170.
mircea_popescu: the govt is considering yielding, and bringing the official bolivar to 50ish.
mircea_popescu: should it do that, what's the likely evolution of the black market rate ?
