GLBSE has been having these issues since v2.0 launch and the Google OTP has just made it worst, as I usually need to type my OTP two or more times before it works and make sure I type it as soon as it recycles to a new one. Then you get to the re-captcha screen which is even more of a pain in the ass.

Unfortunately i'm a small time investor so I'm selling all of my GLBSE assets and buggering the hell out. Mining is moving downwards (at least for the next few months 'til we have a more clear picture with ASICs and stuff), GLBSE is not capable of scaling all that gracefully so I've decided to buy a used old netbook, install Ubuntu and Armory, liquidate all of my assets, including my GPUs and workstations, put all my coins in that laptop and wait it out.

Yea I'm probably going to lose some potential profit in the process but better safe than sorry.

This is exactly why I advised to use HOTP and not TOTP in the beginning. It's just a monumental pain in the ass... please add an HOTP option in addition to TOPT if you are unwilling to ditch TOPT completely.

+1 for an HOTP option!

GLBSE has been having these issues since v2.0 launch

No exactly true, we've had periods where things were slow (right after 2.0 launch, and then about a month later as system load picked up) but we've generally sorted this out after one or two weeks.

Performance improvements will be here in the next two days with numerous other usability improvements to follow very soon after.

Im workin on it, Im workin on it.

Really the problem is programmatic, I can't just throw hardware at it.

The way to fix this is to add application servers (currently only one running), but this add a concurrency problem which under heavy load would mean that accounts wouldn't balance, there would be double trades etc.

I'm working on making this safe and scalable.

Can you simply disable the graphs for a while? The pages are loading every trade since asset launch and the data is becoming very large.

The bids/asks graph in particular should be disabled if it would improve anything.

Also I really hope someone has told the big guy about current security SOP for bringing laptops and phone in and out of china.

Curious about this.. what is the current security SOP for bringing laptops and phones in and out of china?

Don't bring any laptop or phone that has or had any trade secrets or anything of value on it.
Most current SOP is to only use laptop and phones purchased for the purpose of taking to china(IE CLEAN), after coming back getting rid of them.

there have so many reports of people coming back with NEW firmware IE(RootKits) and other great software add-on's.

Its a current industry theory that if someone in customs takes your laptop out of your view your already infected.

Just saw a nice stat today saying that china has backdoor access to 80% of the worlds telephone systems now thanks to two big Chinese telecom companies.

Anyone hear about the plotter(Big Printer) that had its software changed so it forwarded all blueprints that it printed out to china.

Grin

Next time I go I'm taking an ultrabook with all the ports epoxied shut with a drive encrypted with AES-Twofish-Serpent.
After you start raising flags at customs, we get a special detail that follows you the entire trip.
Then you start doing fun stuff like talking to trash can's,dead dropping dollar bills at random places with special codes, watching the aftermath is always fun.

If the page load time continue to increase after they hit ~25 secs, I will no longer be able to login. Angry

GLSBE might want to build their own internal caching mechanism for individual asset pages. data is almost static there, it doesn't change much, and when it does just save it into output html format kind of snapshot and serve that instead rather than pulling same data all the time from db on every request.

i would also recommend thoroughly optimizing code-base and processes, get rid off all extra db queries for each particular page/view before expanding hardware

Is anyone else getting to a point where the speed is negatively effecting there usage of the website and thinking about switching to API only or switching exchanges completely?

Every task is taking 10+ secs and I find myself not doing trades because of the amount of time required to do what I want to do.

I'm worried he is sacrificing the performance of the site and the "user experience" by allowing the use of the API right now.

I know the big guy is behind the great firewall right now, but this really needs to be addressed with a timeline of possible fixes.

Also I really hope someone has told the big guy about current security SOP for bringing laptops and phone in and out of china.

I have to click and go do something else and come back later to see if it accepted my request to do something or see another page. This can't be caused by legitimate usage of the current userbase, it is constant and way beyond what a few thousand people should be causing. I'm a total noob, but I think it's loading up and even calculating data that it doesn't need to on every page load. Why does it flash me a huge list of previous trades(?) all the time and then not even show that after the load is finished?

I hope it gets fixed soon, I don't see an alternative.

Why not just turn off the bots until the next update gets done?

Also, has anyone had any issues with the javascript captcha? I have all the latest Javascript installed and enabled with three different browsers but I still get a message from GLBSE that 'Javascript is needed to view captcha'. Very annoying not being able to login.

I did my due diligence by asking about it first. You went back on your word. That is fine whatever you do what you gota do. The issue I do not like is that you said I did not do my due diligence and that I got scammed. That is just uncalled for Sad

What are you talking about, when did I go back on my word?

You claimed GLBSE stock would become valid. That is why I bought. I don't see why you locked it down 6 months later. But really I don't care. What I took offense was that you claimed I got scammed :/

It IS valid, it's not publicly traded, this means that shares should not be bought or sold on the exchange.

As I said before I don't keep track of peoples trading(we do have records of course) and so ASSUMED you bought when the asset was first released. Wrong assumption.

Not a complaint, just reporting what happened. I also did not get scammed. I only bought the GLBSE stock after you said you would take it over. I placed an order and picked it up when Peter Lambert sold out in that crash. I did make money on it, bought low and sold high. I was not the one to bring up the GLBSE stock, just reporting what happened with the GLBSE that was listed cuz they clearly did not know.

Also you reporting I got scammed is a bit foolish. Go back and check my account records and you will see:)

I assumed you'd bought at the beginning, I don't look at peoples accounts unless they ask(usually if they have a problem), much more interesting and important things to do.

Regarding the GLBSE shares, they are not publicly traded, and this has always been our position(although we failed to prevent trading initially, we did eventually lock it down).

Goat bought shares which were fraudulent without checking if they were genuine or not, a lack of due diligence. As a gesture to the small number of users who were hit by this scam (of which Goat was one) we decided to honor them. As Goat has said he's profited off this quite a lot and I really don't see why he's complaining.

Regarding performance, there are two issues:

First is the exponential growth of new users and the number of users on GLBSE at any one time, this is obviously contributing to the slowness.

Second, GLBSE is being hammered by bots, I mean HAMMERED, which is slowing everything down for everyone.

There is a two pronged approach being taken to this, the first being to get the API onto a single application server, so when the bots get active it won't affect normal users. The second will be to add more application servers in general.

Both steps require coding and testing before being rolled out.

I'm working on it with a view to have the issue solved by Sunday at the latest.

Nefario.

Also it was heavily overpaid... I'd have to check it out again, but I think a realistic price for one GLBSE share would be something around a few bitcents.

Well it was a free market until Nefario locked it down:)

He needs to protect the existing GLBSE shareholders. No one likes their ownership getting diluted as you can imagine.

It traded for about 6 months then was locked down with out warning. I know this cuz i invested in to GLBSE after talking about it and him saying he was going to take it over and make it a valid stock.

Rules on GLBSE change all the time however so who knows what the rules will be tomorrow.

I wonder who setup the asset....

"Hypothetically" what would you value GLBSE at ? And what do you think the price per share would be ?

For me GLBSE effectively became not usable over the last two days. My laptop needs about 40 seconds to load the asset page, while id does not even load any more on my mobile device (where I am mostly limited to over the day). I got recently even used to fire the button 20 seconds early to assure my dividend payments get executed at the exact minute of the due time.

Looking at the source code of the asset page got me scared somewhat: it contains the complete price history of any security and renders the charts in JavaScript -- every time a user reloads the page Shocked

No wonder my mobile hangs there, it most probably runs out of mem when plotting the 100+xth chart.

Aside from being inefficient and problematic for mobiles, all-time charts are not really helpful on the asset's frontpage. If at all, they should span all a common time frame for comparability (say 30 days). This would allow to generate them once a day as graphics for embedding. With the right cache tags every user would have to download them only once a day. Pre-rendering of charts would definitely also improve usability of the securities' detail pages - let's hope this is all in the way for GLBSE 3.0.
