- <jcase> koush_, ping
- <koush_> jcase: yeah so
- <koush_> RM has ~2million users
- <koush_> RM starts up once a day
- <koush_> to check for updates and stuff
- <koush_> i put the PayPal.init in Application.onCreate
- <koush_> like their example
- <koush_> apparently, their new API, which i upgraded to a few weeks ago, put a network call in their PayPal.init
- <koush_> so, every hour on the top of the hour
- <koush_> thousands and thousands of clients were hitting their servers
- <jcase> lol their shit drops
- <jcase> how do they want to fix this? surely they expected something like this would happen
- <koush_> they called me up and were like "why is your app id being used from over a million IPs"?
- <koush_> "uh, cause its on a million phones man"
- * seeseekey has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
- <jcase> actually called you?
- <koush_> i wanted to herp when he said that
- <jcase> lol
- <koush_> yeah
- <jcase> what was their response to that lol
- <koush_> they seemed confused
- <koush_> i think im the only one using their app i guess
- <koush_> api* rather
- <jcase> probably the one using it the most
- <koush_> yeah
- <koush_> then they told me that every hour they get like 6000 requests in the first minute
- <jcase> lol
- <jcase> how are they going to fix this
- <TimeTrav> thats gold
- <koush_> and asked me what code i had that would start up every hour
- <koush_> i was like, i dont do that
- <koush_> then i realized
- <koush_> oh, across a ton of users in different time zones, it may seem that way
- <koush_> jcase: i told them to take out the retarded network call on init :/
- <TimeTrav> its your personal ddos botnet
- <koush_> jcase: they did that this morning
- <koush_> but they cant test the new lib
- <TimeTrav> nobody would suspect a ddos from phones
- <koush_> until i stop DOSing them
- <jcase> lol
- <koush_> so they cant release
- <koush_> i told them i would patch it so it lightens some of the load, but it would take a month for most users to upgrade
- * Sid69 (~sid69@66.231.15.254) has joined #koush
- <koush_> the engineers are actually fairly nice
- <koush_> when they first called, i thought they were about to tell me that my account was shut down adn they seized all my moeny from my paypal account
- <koush_> like they normally do
- <jcase> lol
- <jcase> i mean how do they not know
- <koush_> yeah'
- <jcase> how many clients are using their shit
- <koush_> pretty retarded
- <jcase> and what is the call used for
- <koush_> i dont think they anticipated any level of real usage/traffic
- <Shadows`work> koush_: i don't think they expected it at the top of every hour
- <Shadows`work> lol
- <koush_> yea that was a pretty funny phenomenon
- <jcase> "How i DDOS'd paypal and got away with it"
- <jcase> lol
- <koush_> haha
- <DeadRinga> Hahaha
- <koush_> the way they were talking though
- <koush_> i think the entire operation for their in app billing
- <koush_> is run on a single box
- <koush_> it was always "our server gets thousands of requests in the first minmute of an hour"
- <koush_> not "servers"
- <jcase> lol
- <helo> wow...
