[15:04] *** Ehtyar has joined #arpnetworks [15:07] *** Ehtyar has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [15:07] *** Ehtyar has joined #arpnetworks [15:26] w00t :) [15:51] up_the_irons: a million people probably asked ahead of me, but are there any plans of expanding storage for the vps plans? i'd for instance be interested in the all-purpose but 50G+ disk [15:52] jbergstroem: Are you asking about something beside the "VPS Power Ups -> Storage" on http://arpnetworks.com/vps ? [15:53] oh, there's that now. didn't scroll enough [15:53] heh [15:53] On my screen, it ends just after Jumbo, so the ugprades are easily overlooked. [15:54] And in case you're going to ask - upgrades are done by emailing support@ [15:54] sure, thanks. [15:55] up_the_irons: ^ both of those points could use a little attention on the site. ("how do I upgrade" and maybe some way to make the "upgrades" section more easily found or visible) [15:58] yeah, agreed - it took me a bit to find it when ordering my second VPS [15:59] i'm perhaps bit of a hipster, but like those sites where you can drag sliders for ram/disk/etc. [16:00] did anyone observe packet loss this morning (PST/MST time zones 0900-1300 intermittently) [16:00] ? [16:01] * brycec really needs to get Smokeping setup again... [16:01] it was below my alert threshold, but i only saw it because i was trying to nail down when comcast did some network maintenance in albuquerque this morning [16:01] and saw it following the gap during comcast downtime at like 0200-0300 [16:40] brycec: m0unds : noted, tnx. the site is actually going through a redesign anyway; watch for it in early 2014 :) (or 2013 if my friend who is doing the redesign gets off his PS4 ;) [16:41] (and i'm not helping cuz now we're playing BF4 together) [16:41] jbergstroem: yeah the power ups have been there forever. you can get as much disk as you want :) [16:44] up_the_irons: i rarely go to /vps which i guess was the problem [16:45] jbergstroem: yeah, i think you're not the only one. redesign will work on that (for one, the "main" front page won't be VPS-emphasized anymore, it'll be more generic, since now we do offer more services) [17:38] *** Nat_RH has joined #arpnetworks [17:42] up_the_irons: are you accepting bitcoins for payment yet? :P [17:43] jpalmer: experimentally, yes; toddf is the first to pay with bitcoins [17:43] are you using coinbase for payment processing? or something else? [17:43] jpalmer: if you're interested in trying, lmk. there's no interface or anything, i just send an invoice manually with Coinbase and do what i need to do on the backend [17:45] up_the_irons: nice. I saw the payment options on coinbase just now, and thought of you. it can post back, and all that. so you could tie it in to your backend. [17:45] also, I saw coinbase offers a thing where for 1%, they'll instantly convert the BTC to USD, so you get the exact amount you priced it as, rather than holding the BTC and witing for price fluctuations. I thought that was nice. [17:46] heh. for those who intend to go back to fiat. ;-) [17:48] toddf: do you do any mining? [17:51] Is that even profitable anymore? [17:51] mhoran: depends on what you've got. ;) [17:53] I suspect that in early 2014 (february or march) the nextgen ASICS from bitfury will be hitting the market, and we'll likely see about 2million Thash/sec added to the network [17:55] jpalmer: yup, if it is popular enough, i'll work on integrating their callbacks. i can also use their api to do the pay button / invoice thingy, so in the end, it could all be self-service. [17:55] that'd be awesome. [17:55] jpalmer: the auto conversion of usd / btc is what i used, yeah [17:56] mhoran: I have a couple of the USB miners. and pre-ordered a 100 Ghash/sec card. [17:56] may pre-order 1-2 mre of those cards though. [17:57] I've been mining opensourcecoin lately though. [18:06] Interesting. [18:06] Sure wish I jumped on board years ago. :) [18:13] jpalmer: unfortunately I did not jump on board when it was profitible to do so with a regular cpu. I've not the time nor the physical resources to house minig rigs. yet. I'm doing some trading at btc-e.com but the general up direction of BTC and/or the general down direction of USD gives me pause to convert BTC to USD. if I need something, typically, I can purchase a gift card through gyft.com/egifter.com etc .. planning on making ... [18:14] ... BTC more of an item on my radar in 2014 though .. [18:15] jpalmer: if you do any exchanges at btc-e.com and have any taste for perl please feel fee to critique https://github.com/toddfries/Finance-btce .. I've an app I'm writing on top of this, so I can ensure it at least is functional ;-) [18:15] toddf: there is a preorder right now for a 100Ghash/sec self contained mining machine.. $350 (current generation, thats about an $8,000 purchase) [18:15] how is $350 an $8000 purchase? [18:15] toddf: I do tade at btc-e.com, mostly on metatrader though ;) [18:16] I guess I should look at it. do you need an external app or ? [18:16] current generation hardware.. 100Ghash/sec is gonna cost $8k nextgen (28nm) is due to hit the markets late february.. and the same hashing speed is $350 [18:16] if you pre-order [18:16] nope, self contained. just needs ethernet, and power [18:17] how do you configure it? via flash? [18:17] I preordered a few days ago [18:17] web server [18:17] does the web server have any .. fancy requirements .. like java 1.6.2.3.4.5.6.9.4 but not 1.6.3.4.5.6.9.3 ? [18:17] http://www.minersource.net/mining-hardware/ [18:17] not sure yet, since.. it's pre-order ;) [18:18] toddf: lol [18:18] jpalmer: do your current miners still produce anything? i've heard / read that at this point, mining btc is not worth it [18:19] jpalmer: you're talking black arrow prospero x-1 ? [18:19] up_the_irons: I have 2 USB block erupters. but, I don't have them mining bitcoin these days. I'm doing opensourcecoin [18:19] toddf: Si [18:19] jpalmer: ah ok [18:20] i'll be building some rigs to mine litecoin once all the parts arrive (this week some time) [18:20] up_the_irons: what kinda gear? [18:20] jpalmer: how exactly does metatrader work at btc-e.com ? it requires an app, which .. what is different than an app doing metatrader vs an app hitting the api directly? [18:21] jpalmer: mainly Radeon 7950 GPUs and also the Radeon R9 280x [18:21] jpalmer: and big PSU [18:21] jpalmer: everything else is negligible [18:21] toddf: I hadn't looked into their API. so, not sure I can answer that question. [18:22] metatrader uses an API, and allows you to go long or short on different currency pairs (metatrader is the software that most home daytraders use for foreign exchange) [18:22] jpalmer: the api permits you to make calls to the https via an api key that then permits you to get account balance, place a trade order, cancel that order, check exchange rates, get sell/buy requests etc [18:22] so, you may be writing code that does the same thing [18:22] jpalmer: if the metatrader limits itself to currency pairs then what I am writing indeed does a different task [18:23] ahh, ok. so you'd be trading actual coins. metatrader.. you are trading on the value of those 2 things. often, with leverage. (they offer up to 1:3 leverage right now) [18:23] yeah, 2 different thngs. [18:26] heh. so metatrader is almost like making a bet on the future price, and collecting if right. I'm actually moving coins around. and based on fees and such I can make (sofar) up to 2% in a short time if conditions are right. tuning the app to understand trading as I'm doing so as well is the hardest part. ;-) [18:27] I'm checking out your code now. [18:27] I'm not a perl guy, but willing to check it out ;) [18:27] the bot part is not there, just the btce-api [18:30] http://gbpaste.org/B6eG6 [18:33] hrm, I dunno man. looks a lot like what metatrader does [18:34] let me find you a quick video on metatrader, and make sure you aren't trying to reinvent the wheel [18:42] not a great video, but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idZp5U-9ZRM skip to 7:10 [18:42] YouTube Education: "Forex Secrets - Using Metatrader 4 (Part 1of 3)" by Brittany Maschi (9m 54s), 39,925 views, 27 likes and 5 dislikes.
