ThickAsThieves: [11:48] <ThickAsThieves> does not mean you have communicated its value

ThickAsThieves: [11:47] <ThickAsThieves> just because YOU are sure of something,

ThickAsThieves: but you say no such thing in your post, right?

ThickAsThieves: that it impresses?

ThickAsThieves: isnt that already the stipulation

ThickAsThieves: why not offer stock options then

ThickAsThieves: hell you paid 10btc when they worth more for people to photochop a rape scene and look at the crap you got

ThickAsThieves: you;d get free easily

ThickAsThieves: and something that could motivat epeople to rally behind you

ThickAsThieves: now if you had some awesome concept

ThickAsThieves: being funded and wanting free, kinda nullifies things

ThickAsThieves: being funded is only good enough, if you are passing on real pay

ThickAsThieves: was crucial

ThickAsThieves: communicating and convincing of their idea

ThickAsThieves: few were obliged

ThickAsThieves: some were shown the door

ThickAsThieves: some had my ear

ThickAsThieves: ive had a number of guys with money and the next big idea come thru my doors wanting freebies and cheapies

ThickAsThieves: does not mean you have communicated its value

ThickAsThieves: just because YOU are sure of something,

ThickAsThieves: yes

ThickAsThieves: you simply present nothing to show it might be one

ThickAsThieves: i do agree that a good artist will be inspired to speculate on the right project

ThickAsThieves: and people asking for free art all the time

ThickAsThieves: mostly spawned from hating crowdsourcing

ThickAsThieves: etc

ThickAsThieves: http://www.no-spec.com/

ThickAsThieves: they have whole organizations educating them to know better

ThickAsThieves: the decenly talented and undiscovered mostly know better than to enter evert free contest and cross their fingers

ThickAsThieves: people wanting free art for opportunity

ThickAsThieves: it's on your side

ThickAsThieves: there is indeed a crowded market in B

ThickAsThieves: most turn out to be losses

ThickAsThieves: do you know how many if opportunities a good but not successful artist gets?

ThickAsThieves: if

ThickAsThieves: both*

ThickAsThieves: and what you offer, noth in BTC and in opportunity, is quite uncertain

ThickAsThieves: there is still competition for B as well

ThickAsThieves: yes, but while A would put you in heavy competition

ThickAsThieves: i'm with you there

ThickAsThieves: ok

ThickAsThieves: nor marketing values

ThickAsThieves: you do not value aesthetic it seems

ThickAsThieves: well its not a new thing

ThickAsThieves: you underestimate the power of commercial art

ThickAsThieves: why didnt you use this method to choose the CTO?

ThickAsThieves: its not the best method for quality

ThickAsThieves: but simply because it's worth more than that for someones art and experience

ThickAsThieves: that its not an opportunity

ThickAsThieves: or

ThickAsThieves: not because i dont think people will submit

ThickAsThieves: then i'll be the first annoying guy to tell you it's too low

ThickAsThieves: hrm

ThickAsThieves: plz use commas not points if appropriate

ThickAsThieves: what does the chosen artist get in BTC?

ThickAsThieves: but it reads like reptilia speak to me

ThickAsThieves: i see your explanation

ThickAsThieves: can you also clarify the payment for the artist

ThickAsThieves: maybe i shouldnt have said 'unable'

ThickAsThieves: it was just an honest question

ThickAsThieves: haha

ThickAsThieves: assuming that was a precursor to S.MG

ThickAsThieves: mp, were you unable to find a suitable artist from our previous conversation?

ThickAsThieves: maybe not the cheapest tho

ThickAsThieves: 5970s were the juice I think

ThickAsThieves: most of them likely being American...

ThickAsThieves: unfortunately it would require a majority of users to actually coordinate

ThickAsThieves: men like this?

ThickAsThieves: you are making it worse!

ThickAsThieves: if it werent for you i'd have never even known any of this

ThickAsThieves: but

ThickAsThieves: etc

ThickAsThieves: i keep a spreadsheet for myself to make sure i dont sell naked

ThickAsThieves: you could set up a bot to audit me autmatically

ThickAsThieves: my AM wallet address is public, i use that address for my BF account, and my BTCT,co portfolio is public

ThickAsThieves: jborkl, for the most part, my assets are fully auditable on the fly actually

ThickAsThieves: where everyone withdraws all their coin on one day

ThickAsThieves: and we'll stage audits of each exchange

ThickAsThieves: maybe I'll start the BSU, Bitcoin Stockholder Union

ThickAsThieves: just that we can't know

ThickAsThieves: not saying he's abusing it

ThickAsThieves: i can think of a number of ways his system could be abused by this practice

ThickAsThieves: but it doesnt prove anything

ThickAsThieves: of course it seems secure

ThickAsThieves: he could be very fractional in practice

ThickAsThieves: i have to wait for manual withdrawals multiple times a day

ThickAsThieves: BTCT.co keeps like a 50btc hot wallet

ThickAsThieves: indeed

ThickAsThieves: it's a factor with bitcoin, it being as anonymous as it is public

ThickAsThieves: and just not say so

ThickAsThieves: they could all fractionally bank

ThickAsThieves: look at every bitcoin currency/stock exchange

ThickAsThieves: but

ThickAsThieves: does it really affect fractional reserve?

ThickAsThieves: its*

ThickAsThieves: I thought it's agenda was to facilitate SR?

ThickAsThieves: http://www.asig.asia/ these guys want me to send a "fund brochure (if any) for my board of directors and could would like to know about funds inner workings ( eg. ROI, risks, etc)" for ASICM on Havelock

ThickAsThieves: it's a sleeping mohawk

ThickAsThieves: enough to make the person you are talking to feel small

ThickAsThieves: "Matt Hopard, a small investor in Bitcoin"
