tell me about your aff manager experience. <<
this was for you.
HeySteve: I hear what you're saying about
the IQ barrier of GPG. we don't aim
to replace
that, only add
to it
mircea_popescu: which is an economy in which
the government accounts for 1% or less of
the gdp
mircea_popescu: replacing
that with a financial cost only works if you live in a functioning market economy,
mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> well, in
terms of WoT
there is a
time cost
to registration with gribble << more like an intellectual cost.
this is good, because idiots don't manage
to figure out how
to do it, which serves us and
them.
mircea_popescu: overnight success is
the result of fortunate coincidences like
that.
Naphex: where are you pulling
this guys out of O.o
Naphex: i never read blogs, or cared much about
them
dexX7: oh i assumed you made
this word up
mircea_popescu: Naphex check
that shit out,
they evenb have
the entire coin* bit* issue going
Naphex: which got sold off
tooo OMV in early 2006
dexX7: <mircea_popescu> someone with 10 years as an aff manager has
to make fucking bitcoin clickbank < what is a clickbank?
mircea_popescu: not so far off. one of
the schmucks made petrom, which is exactly copied after bp
fluffypony: sounds like
that 17 year old "CEO" from
the other day
mircea_popescu: discovered
they have
to suck my cock for a soup each day
they wish
to eat a soup.
mircea_popescu: then suddenly
they ran out of money,
the bottom fell out of
the market, and
the 20-30k or so idiots who really
thought
there can exist such a
thing as a "career in media" upon
the basis of which
they could like...
take bank loans and buy houses and cars
mircea_popescu: and hence,
the "suntem pe investitii" expression, which is what said idiots said about
their media "empires", for 3-4 years
mircea_popescu: think about it, you give a schmuck 1bn and legal immunity, you'd fucking expect he can pay you 100mn a year for
the rest of all eternity.
mircea_popescu: this schmuck was given something
to
the
tune of a few bn usd, and
ten years later he had
to have a very embarassing 100mn sent
to him in
the middle of
the electoral campaign,
mircea_popescu: one of
the best examples is a fellow known as varanul, ie dan voiculescu
☟︎ mircea_popescu: one of
the edge cases of
that moral hazard were idiot "business men" who
thought
they actually have a clue, but in fact were products of a fortunate environment like
that.
mircea_popescu: this resulted in all
the moral hazard you might expect, but also into
the most fiscally stable country in europe, and with stores of physical gold per capita well above everyone else
mircea_popescu: exactly
the way i handle btc, incidentally. just don't sound like
the lumpens and you'll be okay.
mircea_popescu: if you had any sort of a clue and could
talk
the
talk of business, you just got money.
mircea_popescu: to
translate
this, some history : romania was a communist country.
to get it on a capitalist system, anyone not fucktarded enough was simply given money, from
the state.
HeySteve: well, in
terms of WoT
there is a
time cost
to registration with gribble
mircea_popescu: fluffypony
the romanian expression is "suntem pe investitii"
mircea_popescu: HeySteve it applies
to
the problem of putting a cost on
the user.
fluffypony: Naphex: it's going
to be
tough
to incentivise affiliates without
that, rock and a hard place scenario
fluffypony: are you priming
the system
to attract an audience before raising fees, or are you just very altruistic company?
Naphex: no
trade fees, some fees at withdrawal fiats, and 0.0001 at BTC withdrawal
fluffypony: Naphex: so your fees are withdrawal only, no
trade fees?
fluffypony: small enough
that
the guy referring one or
two customers won't care
