mircea_popescu: hahaha i has no doges ;/
mircea_popescu: somehow i thought you weren't here lol
Bugpowder: I take DOGE
Bugpowder: I aim to serve
KRS-One: http://i.imgur.com/WKi8XWS.jpg
KRS-One: i know, right?
BingoBoingo: KRS-One: I've never considered that
KRS-One: BingoBoingo: of course I have foo
BingoBoingo: KRS-One: If you have farm raised sharks with certifiably low mercury levels, I am pretty sure there are worth much more as food than guards
KRS-One: ok fine i just happen to have a dream of owning my own shark tank with laser rays for my enemies ok?
Namworld: I never said a human would need to react to it.
BingoBoingo: I was acquainted with someone who worked on an unclassifed project about as useful as missile defense. Essentialy the device was a hair drier large enough to accomodate a 747, because anthrax
Namworld: Yes, even at 3 miles per second. Is that such a problem with almost instant reaction? Enough to reach incoming target before it's close enough. It might be a bit too close for comfort I guess.
mircea_popescu: i didn't think we did either.
KRS-One: depending on angle i guess
mircea_popescu: Namworld i don't think you fully grok the mechanics involkved.
the20year: I talk to so many contractors that go into vivid detail of the corruption
mircea_popescu: yeah, that. i remember that.
asciilifeform: last i heard, moscow is still covered by '50s-style mini-nuke launchers.
BingoBoingo: I'm telling you, top the interceptor missile with a 30 kt warhead and your margin of error is covered
Namworld: I thought that's why they're aiming at laser defense systems.
the20year: that's where i post up the daily details on what's going on
theo__: I may slide over to the channel soon and see how its rocking :)
theo__: FYI i have a degree in business majoring in finance and minor in financial markets.
theo__: I suppose those that communicate with yourself and others inside the company and those who are eager to be involved in more then just "LETS THROW MONEY AT IT!!!!!!"
the20year: Out of the guys we have, there's 3 I really like that do understand business, one is absolutely fantastic, most others don't have much of a interest, so the problem/issue becomes how do I get to cherry pick those that help control the company?
theo__: Perfect, the only thing i could see with being the problem is, do the top 5 share holders want a say in the company as in being a director as i think a lot of the investors (especially early IPO) would of just been using it to invest there BTC into real world without the proper understandings to be able to help run something such as this
the20year: What I'd like to do is take from either the top 5 or top 10 shareholders
theo__: the20year, i think stay away from mpex as well. Not user friendly unless high level computer user, and i personally believe its tied into a giant drug laundering scheme
the20year: I'd of enjoyed listing on mpex, but investors said no
theo__: agreed i own a few to many but lol got excited with there IPO and now own 3000 @ the IPO price >.>
Duffer1: i haven't looked into seedcoin at all actually
theo__: duffer1: anything further? i would agree that the mintspare company seems shit and also the bitcoin mining derivitive i stay the F away from. But to me seedcoin I was one of the best put companies in a while (well until i saw REAL)
the20year: As it is right now, i have control and can do essentially what I want, but as I had stated in the past , i want to do like a board of directors type of thing
Duffer1: the quality of the offerings since takeover is what i base that on
the20year: and out of all the people i've talked to, he seemed to know what he was doing
the20year: There was one guy i talked to who was alright, lots of miscommunication
theo__: So the new company who owns havelock you haven't had any problems with? as this was something i noted on the bitcointalk.org forum that people were complaing / being weary of
the20year: Not that i mind it, whomever I'm talking to at HL is quite bright
theo__: I will use email, I am international.
mircea_popescu: ok i gotta put the markov chain on ignore, this is too much.
theo__: Do you have an email or any other form of communication to talk more privately? I may think about becoming a largish scale investor in your company. I am liking the way you hold yourself and your answers.
the20year: Nope, i sold off my website company that was taking most of my time in September
the20year: I got rid of all those 2 years ago
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "i can't believe it wasn't butter"
the20year: I do some precious metals investing, website development, and I hear my brother will pay me some day
the20year: I have a few small time businesses I run
theo__: Can i ask a bit deeper as in are you currently still working outside of this company?
the20year: It was odd , i was the youngest, the last, and the longest overseeing president
the20year: I think i've been on more than that, but i was president of the Pickaway board of realtors which was...fun
Duffer1: i won't even charge for this service
theo__: Well i saw your credentials, and you said you had sat on 2 boards.
Duffer1: Offering the Bank of Duffer1, send me your coins and next year i'll send them back to you
the20year: I'm the only real manager , if anything were to happen to me, ben from buyahash would step in to manage
theo__: Do you mind if i ask a bit more of a personal question. As in how old you are? Just so i can get a grasp of who i am investing into, Because as far as i can tell it seems you are the company or is there more people in the managment team?
theo__: Haha I like it :)
theo__: And you will have first dividend out on the 15th? Which if i look at it right will be averaging a ~3% yield because of the new IPO purchasing power not being included. This would be about right?
theo__: Ah i getchya now
mircea_popescu: i had 500`000 altcoins once...
theo__: i had 6000 once duffer... we all learn
Duffer1: i had 200 btc once, now i have 20
theo__: Duffer i have to many BTC to leave them sit as only BTC i need to diversify and RENT offers a realistic aproach to reinvestment with his companies share value only increasing even with the price of bitcoin 8x higher then his inittal IPO
the20year: Ideally, i'd like to see the original purchase price re-invested, so the property pool doesn't shrink
theo__: the20year: Alright that answers my next question. My last major question i have is with the 3 year rental - equity buy back how would that work in terms of a shareholder dividend?
nubbins`: i mailed a package mid-january and it took 19 days to get to the other side of canada
theo__: the20year: agreed but i am hesitent to over invest as you are talking about a leveraged lending scheme (which works well in good financal times) Though in bad times over leveraging can leave you to open to the risks
theo__: the20year: have you also taken into consideration the potential risk of if a housing collapse does happen again or a market collapse in america? as in your compaines Manifesto ( i know not the right word but i am tired) you did not mention this is a potential risk to investors
the20year: Well, it would be tied to real estate, and in the past under hyperinflationary periods, real estate has typically done well (Yugoslovia/serbia, zimbabawe, Weimar Germany) , so I feel a little bit safe against that
the20year: Personally i'd like to save a little back to invest into some type of btc/only investment
theo__: the20year: as the only thing that is stopping me as a investor looking to diversify into your company is the key fact that I believe the US could be on a potential melt down, and would mean that if you hedged to much into USD I am exposing myself to to much risk
the20year: I found one, if we can bid on it that should have a $30k purchase price, sell price of $90k which would be pretty good towards investors
jborkl: i did 4 alt blocks, so i retire
nubbins`: I NO RITE?!?!
theo__: @the20year what do you expect your anual yield to be over this 2014 period if i may ask. Already invested into 500 shares looking to see what your expectations are to think about a longer term strategy. I have seen how well your company has done from june 2013. Just wondering on your on thoughts for this year
pankkake: I wish I was a girl!
the20year: I'm second guessing putting a real contact number on the listing, already had a guy call me asking for help on how to deposit money into his HL account
mircea_popescu: or have i ?
pankkake: I thought you trilemaed her already… weird
mircea_popescu: someone pasted it here a few days ago and now i need it to prove a point
theo__: apologies i meant to ask is your IPO RENT not REAL >.< been a long night
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's actually a worse example of a country than france.
the20year: Yeah , i can get an eviction done in 3 weeks
the20year: We'll see i guess
the20year: I hope the weekend treats our IPO well , i found a pretty neat purchase
mircea_popescu: anyway, specifically about bitcoin magazine, i'm curious how long before the contentious manner in which it was acquired actually spills out in court.
ThickAsThieves: i guess often it's more of a barter
Duffer1: i've read that they have emails of him colluding to wash coins
ThickAsThieves: i couldnt do it
ThickAsThieves: i dunno
Duffer1: ya MP i can't tell if they're trying to find a patter in the sand here, or if there actually is a pattern
mircea_popescu: but i mean for crying out loud, "american title services" thing was a small... title services company.
BingoBoingo: chipug: Seems to be the only reason to use a nailgun in the US where more efficient tools are readily available. (i.e. Kurt Cobain, Ernest Hemmingway)
BingoBoingo: That low? I'd imagine the number to be higher.
ThickAsThieves: i'll just get some when it's listed somewhere, online wallets are the best wallets right?
pankkake: I hope http://coinminer.net:19982/static/ actually works
ThickAsThieves: i dont even know how to download the block source
mike_c: and no, i did not vanity gen a "nun" address
ThickAsThieves: i mean a miner
mike_c: i gave it a half-hearted attempt the other day, but i don't have a good gpu for it.
ThickAsThieves: you know whatd be funny, i make a deal with ASICMINER to buy hashes and point them at it
