mircea_popescu: use this bitchin' resource we got here. i know it's counterintuitive to just be plain about things, there's this deeply drilled in idea that business "must be sikrit".
fluffypony: I got sold on the idea against my better instincts
mircea_popescu: ah. you gonna get pissy if i tell you the whole adventure simply displays a shocking lack of strategic competence on your team ? :D
fluffypony: I know - but we've shelved the "big" IPO and raised a smaller amount privately, so the idea is that we're going to complete the product and bring it to market, and then if we feel it necessary we can always do a second round of funding to enable merchant acquisition
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bingoboingo i am shocked, shocked i say, to find sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim available in the us. it's my first line against infection, it's very well tolerated and extremely cheap. yet well hated in the us, probably for these reasons.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony if your ipo is atc only, it provides some benefit to atc. you can mine some, which puts you in the same position as if you had mined some vertcoin
mircea_popescu: moiety hi there!
fluffypony: the focus on Vertcoin wasn't just for shits and giggles, the idea was that the IPO would be a VTC-only IPO, so the focus on Vertcoin would also provide benefit to them
mircea_popescu: why aren't you anymore ? (because reddit sunk the vertcoin, i thought). why not move to atc, it can't be sunk by reddit.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: we weren't just going to support Vertcoin, we were going to be exclusively Vertcoin for the first few months
mircea_popescu: what is the difference between "supporting atc" and vertcoin ?
fluffypony: but moving forward, since we're no longer bound to that
fluffypony: the Vertcoin thing was a failed suggestion from people who thought it would be a good idea
mircea_popescu: that's not telling me anything
fluffypony: the aim was to have a more general use altcoin remittance system
mircea_popescu: but speaking of altcoins, fluffypony why not just use altcoin for w/e wallet you were trying to do ? unlike vericoin or w/e, it's not going to be going anywhere and doesn't actually need anyone's approval/support.
mircea_popescu: this shit's unreadable, omfg the derp. not your fault even, i imagine what the input material should have been like.
Asa9: Early in the morning here, so I thought i'd check out some fast chats :D
mircea_popescu: who the fuck is pat burns, tat ? some athlete guy ? ☟︎
