mircea_popescu: filling
that
thing 4 u at a
time will
take like a dozen fucking
trips lol.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, so you're
thinking like 100 is your limit ?
ben_vulpes: this is
the "when do you start
trading?"
thread all over again; i'm going
to have
to review both in depth i
think i'm
thick as it didn't stick
the first
time.
mircea_popescu: if bitcoin starts dropping again people will be begging
to buy into you, logically.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: besides, you can afford it, shockingly enough. 300 x 100 is what, 3.x btc. not
the end of
the world. if he actually gets it
through
the blocade you have an item arguably worth
twice
that.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you however -- you're a wolf rider not a cyclops, if you ever played heroes 3. gotta run
there and hit something.
mircea_popescu: this is in general re --
the very conservative approach with expenditure seen in every other bitcoin corp is due
to
their having immense balance sheets and
tiny forced expenditures. minigame can fucking afford
to go slow on nearly
ten
thousand btc.
ben_vulpes: ah, is
this in re
the refinancing for plant buildout?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes,
the logic being
that you're being eaten away at
the rate of what, 5% each month ? you can either wait a year and a half
to die or sally forth and meet
the enemy.
ben_vulpes: what are you
talking about, more
than any pantsuit 'big
tent', you can make yourself into
the kind of person who belongs here.
quadsar: i was watching l0de radio for
the first
time i dont really belong here
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-05 00:25 mircea_popescu: understand, if you lease
these even as low as 30/mo, your occupancy jumps
to... 15%, while your revenue goes
to 200%.
ben_vulpes: i have seen
this, and it was a mistake
to not follow suit.
mircea_popescu: minigame has a similar item, whereby
the fact
that players bought ECu does not immediately
translate
to a gain for minigame.
there's >100 btc's worth sloshing around in
there.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-04 23:45 mircea_popescu: prolly should look into
the concept of "unearned income".
technically money you were paid for services you've not yet rendered belongs
to
the customers' equity line.
lobbes: Tickerbot will also live
there, once it is built. But it is great. I was up and running in no
time! I dare anyone
to find individualized customer on
the level of Pizarro.
Try it yourself and you will see immediately what I mean.
They offer month-to-month if you just want
to
try, with discounts for quarterly payments once you feel comfortable << see? sales pitch
lobbes: So far so good. Going
to slowly migrate all of my vps shit onto it.
lobbes: Anyways, I guess I'm saying I wouldn't mind
trying
to sell a product I actually -believe is good-
lobbes: "Ask
this old lady if she wants a credit card!!" "Ugh.. I'm sure she does not need any moar credit"
lobbes: So I quit; went back
to (then) stacking fruit at supermarket
lobbes: I was
told I was "good at selling myself, so I should do
the same for
their "products"". Difference was I
thought all
their 'products' were useless and not needed (this was a retail bank
teller job)
a111: Logged on 2018-04-30 18:21 mircea_popescu: in front of
this, whether we idly decide
that he's just dumb or actually evil, ie, his brain dun work like in
the case of say bernstein ; or his brain doth work, but he deliberately attempts
to shannonize republican words into imperial outcomes, a la curtis yarvin, jwz, whatever.... well what fucking difference does it make.
lobbes: I would definitely be interested >> (+asciilifeform) ben_vulpes, mod6 : if lobbes is interested in selling on commission, i would like him
to begin asap , with your approval
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, other
than catalogue sifting, write
the words for
the eventual kicass page.
mircea_popescu: and you don't really want
to
turn away
the first leads ;
they're usually
the best in
that
they reproduce.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you have
this problem
though whereby you don't actually have WHAT
to sell as it stands.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, honestly i'd start planning for
the next
trip. understand
the simple fact of
the matter : if you manage
to get pizarro 300 rockchips racked, you've produced at least a coupla bitcoin's value for it.
lobbes: Nice price point, plus
the "host anything you want" angle
lobbes: I don't know sales, but I know heathens; I wager
those rockchips will be a way easier sell
than
the shared hosting, for e.g.
mircea_popescu: understand, if you lease
these even as low as 30/mo, your occupancy jumps
to... 15%, while your revenue goes
to 200%.
mircea_popescu: at least now you have a driver. you want a plan, web support, and sales people
to push
this. you know what you're pushing at least.
mircea_popescu: what's a rockchip actually cost i forget ? like 30 bux +
the ssd ?
mircea_popescu: have you ever sold anything before ?
the situation here isn't "no one seems
to even want
the last one".
the situatio nis "we sold most of
them"
mircea_popescu: if i were you folk i would very seriously be looking at geting refinanced,
taking ~300 rockchips
there and filling a dozen us with
them.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, so
the story here is
that you have ~12% occupancy and ~20-30% revenue ?
mircea_popescu: then
the 1.1k figure can't be right. 4 x 140 + how many fgs are rented out, at least 4 ? + s.mg box + rockchips hm... seems your
true recurrent revenue is more like 2k
mircea_popescu: box only has 2 fgs ; 1 colo spot ; box rental itself is
the rest.
mircea_popescu: well, eg
the s.mg box, like your largest income driver, isn't in
there ?
