KRS|Gotyawallet: i'd wait til it goes on sale to list
the20year: in other words i shouldn't be typing when i'm doing 5 other things and not paying attention to what goes on IRC
the20year: I meant capital growth in terms of equity/assets in the company
the20year: Right now the way it's written if we can hit $250k in capital, I get a performance bonus
the20year: If more shares and i get to keep equity, around $100k USD
the20year: Depends on terms, i'd love to raise more capital via shares, as long as I can keep some equity in it, but i'd prefer just standard bank leverage

mircea_popescu: jurov well i don't include live people.

the20year: granted, i was taught in school that the civil war was bout states rights and money :D
the20year: There was a pretty interesting quote made by a southern general after the war, i need to dig it up, being just about that. And that over time the civil war would be made about slavery and nothing else
ThickAsThieves: i think most americans are more apathetic than that
Duffer1: i dunno, i feel it's a case of a little leaven fermenting the whole lump
Duffer1: i've heard the expression
TomServo: I knew I'd be displaying my ignorance asking that, ah well. Thanks.
the20year: I'm not aware of any gain
the20year: The thing is , of all the souterners i Know , none really were racist, but i've known plenty of ohio natives that were extremely racist. Heck my great uncle was in the KKK
Duffer1: i grew up in texas
Duffer1: slavery laws weren't modernized until the 50's and 60s, i believe you're underestimating southern racism

KRS|Gotyawallet: i can quickly point my asics to mine different alt coins based on their profitability and go back if need be..auto cash out at preset levels
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think they named it african-sounding deliberately because sexually insecure california white hipster doofuses.
asciilifeform: (i still can't read 'dwolla' without thinking of nigerian spam. must be the consonant cluster.)

mircea_popescu: the20year i wouldn't be too worried about that if i were you.
pankkake: asciilifeform: 32m² here too. though I have a big ass cellar
the20year: once i released info on what i wanted to do, like 20 people copied it
nubbins`: okay, i think he was doing similar to you but in canada

nubbins`: yeah, i can spit from wall to wall here
mircea_popescu: i guess now she's someone's mom.
mircea_popescu: kinda crampy. i have a 220 sq m ground + 170 2nd floor here.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: consider that canada is ostensibly metric and i don't know the square metrage of my house
the20year: if we pulled it back to 65 or so i bet we could do it for $50/mo
the20year: Climate I'm sure is similar
nubbins`: and as much as i'd love wood, i'd love to continue having home insurance even more
the20year: how so mircea_popescu? The Ohioans I know that have been there said it was nothing like Ohio in terms of society or economy......maybe the land is similar
mircea_popescu: last i checked wood here was ~$22 a stere meter.

the20year: I'd much, much rather be on wood than oilk
mircea_popescu: you know, amusingly, most us folk i know think romania is a sort of ohio.

mircea_popescu: Real estate development can return several milion dollars in just a 9 month development phase << i know a guy that blew up a fortune trying and failing at that.
the20year: one option that I considered, but it just didn't work out for us was to buy a home warranty

the20year: and a dozen here in Ohio I don't want to touch with a 10 foot pole
pankkake: I hope what I did with my appartment - making it not look like moldy ass - will get it some price boost
the20year: Real estate can be very, very localized when talking about problems. I could give you a dozen markets in Michigan I'd love to be in
mircea_popescu: i don't imagine they were talking michigan when saying detroit.
mircea_popescu: the20year is what i meant.
pankkake: I guess simple yet profitable ideas are not appealing to bored old men with too much money

pankkake: at my ex-ex job I really wondered how all our stupid clients got their funding

peterL: OK, who wants to help me buy a house and I will pay rent in bitcoins?
pankkake: I'm already invested in real estate, and I feel like I'm sitting on a bubble :D
mike_c: it's turning btc into housing. i don't see how that will work out.
mircea_popescu: why, you know something i don't ?
mircea_popescu: quite frankly, i can not see how anyone'd put up with this arrangement.
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, is one of the deep causes of us real estate bubbles, i am coming to realise.
peterL: I have not estimated exactly what a mortgage would cost for a while, but it is $1000 rent, house is maybe $90000
mircea_popescu: i never hired one.
mircea_popescu: all i used was a half hour of notary public time, cost me ~35
