ninjashogun: I realize that startups are quite different from the bitcoin-related assets, etc.

ninjashogun: Look, I recommned you read "Venture Deals" by Brad Feld.

ninjashogun: it's $200K with a boatloat of strings, and I couldn't do the other (earlier) startup.

ninjashogun: I will make my offer and then if nobody is interested that's enough. It's the same offer that's happening elsewher.

ninjashogun: Meanwhile, I'm a startup founder (2 right now).

ninjashogun: I know that you are a bit anti-startup

ninjashogun: I also mentioned that I had no personal windfall from it.

ninjashogun: As I mentioned, it was acquired.

ninjashogun: I will make my offer, because I was mentioned in here, and that's it

ninjashogun: btw I've been idling both here and elsewhere, and all I see in this conversation is trolling. Just look up at your scrollback before my name was mentioned. There is nothing that goes on in here that isn't a waste of everyone's time.

ninjashogun: benkay, I offered to actually talk to you. Happy to provide references if you want.

ninjashogun: I swear, people on IRC network in the weirdest effin ways.

ninjashogun: I forgot that this channel is logged and googleable, it's pretty ridiculous.

ninjashogun: actually I almost wrote my number here

ninjashogun: I'm a real-world person

ninjashogun: Anyway as a founder when I'm in touch with people who come to me with ideas, the last thing I do is troll them about it.

ninjashogun: I will say that asciilifeform's conclusion was totally wrong. WPA or whatever is not needed for secure communication over a device. You could flash a LED and have a webcam read it, and vice versa (it can read flashing of a monitor). There is absolutely no outside channel that exposes.

ninjashogun: anyway if you are just going to want to troll I have other options for my time.

ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, how was I supposed to know the people in here don't buy services?

ninjashogun: btw I've repeated this recently. I was in touch wtih Nxt selling services to them. But they failed their reference check completely, utterly.

ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, so I was in here seeking financing for the second company, which was a services company. As part of that I also sought to sell services, which didn't materialize

ninjashogun: I've been programming since I was 15 (or earlier) and quite technical as well.

ninjashogun: I can tell you a bit about the companies, of course, but I'm not selling an idea, so much as a pipeline

ninjashogun: to tell you a bit about me, I'm 31, and previously was an early-employee at a YCombinator-backed startup that made an exit (no windfallf or me, but I got to see the whole process)

ninjashogun: The offer is that I am now doing 2 startups concurrently, the first is farther-along at 1-year+, with traditional VC-funding in the pipeline. We've been discussing a $10M valuation - but obviously that is a LONG ways off, that is more like a 24-month pipeline. The VC that we've discussed this with has recently (just this past August) made a $400M exit off of a $10M investment made 3 years prior. We have active VC talks a

ninjashogun: I thought I'd very briefly repeat the financing offer on offer elsewhere in case someone here is interested as well. Note that historically I've found this channel (-assets) very troll-y, but I do realize a lot of financing idles here (more than the other channel).

ninjashogun: thanks punkman - this channel flashed when you mentioned me, (I asked punkman for voice)
