So... Did anyone else have the bot freak out and place 30+ orders because of GOX lag today?

I agree that KYC and AML and generally good things. I was more referring to the startup costs of a new exchange.
Yes I can actually trade, although with test funds

I posted a private message to nootropicsforbitcoins with interest 4 days ago, but received no reply, is the offer active?
I hope so... I am really hoping to find out how they work for me and if they work well have no problem buying them; however finding the 'right one' at the full price is prohibitive. |

I would be interested in this. I am a programmer and since I have had my son my brain has been adjusting to much less sleep and I have noticed a considerable decline in my focus. I have nt tree any supplements; however I did switch to a standing desk.

Just saw this. I have a testing account and I can say that I really hope they launch (but who knows with FinCEN) because their interface is superb!

np. I threw in shellinabox too for HTTP display. Though it doesn't respond as well as a real terminal. http://gox.ruststorm.com/wow, this is a funny idea! I think I should add a configuration option for (or automatic detection of) black&white terminals too to make this look even better :-) On that note... When connecting to my screen instance from my ipad it isn't immediately clear what the last price was because f no title bar. Would you be willing to accept a pull request to add this by account balance? |

That is genius. |

I REALLY like blockchain.info; however I think Ben needs to hire some Tier 1 support staff to help on things like this because he is just so overlaoded right now.

Would it be possible to add a slot to the strategy so that on a gox reconnection the strategy can then re-asses if anything needs to be done (a cancel and re-place orders in the case of the balancer).
Yes, something like that is on my todo list because i have exactly the same problems with the balancer.bot. As a workaround I have slightly modified the _balancer.py code to also trade when it suddenly detects only one order while the trade signal has been missed: Thanks for this, esp the 'b' command I just deposited this morning and would have been very helpful. Do you have the bot in a separate git repo that can be tracked? For those playing along at home, here is a command summary & launch instructions for prof7bit's balancer bot: # "p": place 2 orders above and below price.
# "c": cancel orders and effectively stop the bot
# "u": update own order list, depth, history, wallet and everything
# "i": display how much it is out of balance at current price (negative: must sell, positive: must buy)
# "b":balance immediately (cancel orders and then buy/sell at market to rebalance)
./goxtool.py --protocol=socketio --use-http --strategy=_balancer.py

@prof7bit
I noticed that sometimes with the balancer + gox connection issues sometimes the balancer gets out of whack. Last night with the spike at $130 was a prime example.

To those who have lost coins from blockchain.info accounts; are you certain that you didn't enter your identifier and password into a phishing site? I saw an extremely sophisticated on many months ago, on a typo domain. I suspect that accounts for more lost coins than any actual hacking.
Yet another reason to use lastpass Or a yubikey, which is my preferred method. Actually I was referring to the fact that lasts as remembers the URL for me, so typos are non existent. |

FWIW I just redownloaded the blockchain with a scent connection to a LAN bitcoind and it took closer to 48hrs.

A very very basic overview on rebalancing would be that it protects you from volitilty of one asset.

FWIW the beta OSX client seems to be much faster than the one I compiled from the homebrew packages

It's up and it's working fine. Before spreading FUD you should read the source code behind Blockchains open source software. If they were truly "hacked" it means only the inconvenience of you having to load your wallet backup (You DO backup right?) into your own computer with your own client.
So it's not the end of the world by any means. Even in a total meltdown you still have your funds- and they don't. Thats how it works.

According to blockchain's twitter, they are being targetted heavily by massive DDOS attacks so their servers are going to be denying service for a bit. Probably since bitfoor is now out of the game, malicious hackers are probably routing their botnets to target blockchain in an attempt to drop BTC value, which the price only seems to be going up, hah.
So many people cry "DDoS" these days. Is it really malicious intent? Or do people simply not understand just how much legitimate volume can be directed at a website. It seems like 5 or 6 major pools seem to complain about this in recent days as well as exchanges and service sites. That's a lot of DDoS'n to be going down. You have to understand that most business websites are built upon platforms designed to allow so many legitamite views. For example. SITE A has an average of 100,000 views second. SITE A can withstand 1,000,000 views per second. But SITE A is being hit with 10,000,000 views per second. Can you claim all those views are legitimate views? Therefore it is most likely a coordinated DDOS attack from some botnet. It is a DDOS: https://twitter.com/blockchain/status/324785363002458112 |

This has nothing to do with it.... any hash can have precomputed rainbow tables.
You're right, any hash can have precomputed rainbow tables - which is why I also said "any unsalted hash". My apologies. I was in a hurry and have noticed lately that people see MD5 and just parrot that MD5 is bad because XYZ and not really understand it. Had I actually read what you wrote then it wouldn't have been a problem. |

If you are not techy (which I assume you are not as you asked the question) you can easily use an online MD5 calculator for this type of thing: For example I used http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/ and came up with: d091fccc62e2d24ab101dbe01ce844f6 It is a hash for a single 5 letter word (all lower case), can you guess? After a 10 second google search for the hash: boobs And this is exactly why MD5 (or any other unsalted hash for that matter) doesn't work for passwords  This has nothing to do with it.... any hash can have precomputed rainbow tables. |
