$275k
the20year: We on the otherhand carry half a million dollars on each property, and then are applying for a
$2m-
$3m blanket for the company itself
the20year: I have to take a look at it, we might be able to get it for
$20k or so. they bought it in 2006 and managed it quite poorly. tenant burnt down a garage and they gave it up

ninjashogun: like the way ice cream can cost
$0.75 for example, it could cost a certain amount of BTC 0.001 or whatever
ozbot: BitBet - Light Sweet Crude Oil (WTI) Jan 2015 over

nubbins`: i admit i stopped reading and started skimming when i read "
$1 per hour"
dexX7: let's look at the competition. knc's neptune coming q2: "Minimum 3000GH/s" + "A 30% reduction in watts per GH" (currently about 1.6 w/gh afaik) + "

radan:
$250.00/350.00 plus shipping
ninjashogun: holy #
$@ mirceau you sure know how to pick them. But I would never go for a woman with such an intellectually provocative public profile. Only the ones who keep that to themselves (as I do). makes everything easier :) :)
midnightmagic: No, whoever came up with that
$1b estimate is someone being silly and probably looking for grant money.
ninjashogun: Based on the simple calculation that the brain is just 3 pounds, 1.25 liters, and fires at 200 herz, it is extremely likely that there exists ∃ (latex \exists) code that we could run that would result in a brain running at an appreciable percentage of real-time brain speed, using <
$1B of hardware. But we don't have the code, even though it probably \exists
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the "under
$50" part i find the most objectionable.
Neil: Well BTC >
$10k bet suddenly became lopsided this week.

$76k I'm long retired on a sunny island
MisterE: I'm good at the craps table because I play a very conservative game, max odds and try to bet the trends, I'm up ~
$15k in my lifetime and I was sort of feeling the same way abotu crypto, I'm doing OK but could all go to hell in one game
decimation: well, presumably one could make it out of oak or pine for much less
$$ hdbuck: i saw your first post on the btcforum was: "I'm pretty convinced we will see 1mn
$ / BTC at some future point" havent changed your mind so far? ^^
ninjashogun: benkay - you are reinforcing my point. valuation might not be value, but it's clear that airbnb is worth more than
$200K in cash.
ninjashogun: It's the difference between "How can I help you get from a
$500K nominal valuation - your last round - to
$10M" and "Wait, you're not taking a salary? Why don't you just go on welfare?" -- this channel above :)
ninjashogun: decimation, as I mentioned before we are at the pre-financing stage - the startup is not raising money right now. I know a lot of stories of people who built great things with burn rates near
$0. Airbnb is now closing a round at
$10B. They sold cereal to launch.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, could you continue on your
$300 netbook example?
bounce: loved
$article about shenzen though. made me wish for actual EE skill.
mircea_popescu: " He also “generated a document, which he supplied to a representative of the investors, in which he purported to show a series of
$5 million trades, as well as over
$100,000 in purported profits on trades during September and October 2010, [but] this document was false.” Anyone can generate a professional looking document on their computer."
mircea_popescu: "Gilliams received
$4 million from Morfopoulous and
$1 million from another investor for investment in the STRIPS program. As evidence that the funds were so invested, Gilliams created “a screenshot from Bloomberg Finance showing
$1 million worth of U.S. Treasury STRIPS, which Gilliams represented was proof that he had purchased Treasury STRIPS.” A screenshot? He must have been in the virtual office that day. A
nubbins`: so now we have 15 gallons of "donated" ink that's gonna cost us
$2-300 to dispose of
cazalla: mircea_popescu: i could've bought cheaper than

$1m, i wouldn't need to "cash out" because i could just as easily spend my btc at walmart
ozbot: Twitter / Mircea_Popescu: @MKRocks @felixsalmon

mircea_popescu: "A nationwide scam involving fake Internal Revenue Service representatives has already resulted in

ozbot: Malaysia Airlines 777 pops up on Craigslist, and for just
$70 | Crave - CNET
bitcoinpete: from citizen: "Canadian Bitcoins is the latest bitcoin exchange to be successfully targeted by thieves. Japanese Mt. Gox was forced out of business last month after hackers successfully infiltrated the exchanges’ security and stole as much as
$468 million US worth of bitcoin." karpeles is a hacker now?
ozbot: Ottawa bitcoin exchange defrauded of
$100,000 in cyber currency
Ademan: like,
$10 pricey, if you want them for prototyping and don't summon too much blue smoke they're probably useful though
ozbot: BitBeat: KnCMiner Flips the Scrypt; Sells
$2 Million of New Rigs in Four Hours - MoneyBeat - WSJ
ninjashogun: benderp 5 btc for an hour seems a bit steep :) that's
$3000 per hour or a daily rate of...
$24,000 - or a monthly rate of...
$600,000.
Neil: Glass beads going for
$600 a piece
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, you oculdn't determine exactly what the micro does with any amount of money short of a multimilion dollar lab, but if you make reasonable assumptions (such as commodity components not being a highly engineered replacement) you can verify its operation for <
$100 in equipment.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform - anyone who has an oscilloscope would not have to use a naked eye :) You can expect someone to have a magnifying lense (
$0.50) if they have an oscilloscope (
$100)
ninjashogun: deadweasel, so if you were to say, "I bought
$100 with my bicycle" it would - as you point out - sound like incoherent ramblings. It should be written, "I SOLD my bike for
$100".
ninjashogun: deadweasel, it doesn't make much sense to say "I bought
$100 with my used bike." It feels wrong. But it's accurate.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, ok. I'm not saying you'd need to pursue it. Just like I'm not saying you should build a shiny gui on a Unix utility and sell it to mac users for
$49.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, I was just thinking how mircea's current insights would imply that that is what you could actually sell to dumb users for a huge markup (e.g.
$199), since they know what a leather wallet is and know that bitcoins are money. and that's it.
benderp:
$20/each for a hundred little gui utilities that'd be a 1-line
ninjashogun: I'm not Icahn, there to criticize a
$74B company (eBay) when he couldn't run a company any better.
