mircea_popescu: Coins will be stored in a secure and redundant environment, ensuring the security of our bitcoins.
mircea_popescu: As soon as enough coins are raised and the opportunity becomes available (Whether it be Avlalon, BitFury, BFL, or other) we will make a purchase.
mircea_popescu: Initially, COG.F contracts will be sold for 10 btc each. This price is hugely advantagous for new and old investors alike, because it will allow us to obtain more hardware without diluding current shareholders' dividends.
ozbot: BTC-TC: BTC Trading Corp - View Security
ThickAsThieves: what the world needs now
ozbot: Twitter / The_Strangerer: BREAKING NEWS, ZOMBIE HOARD ...

mike_c: yeah, but that's pretty far from efficient. idk. confusing.

mike_c: someday i will understand btc assets, but not today. why hasn't the price of tat.virtualmine gone down much over the last 6 weeks while the dividend has dropped nearly by half? who knows. not me.
mircea_popescu: birthplace of the double cherry truck etc.
mircea_popescu: [\\\] you can't possibly have missed the ubercool thread where katz went nutz.
dub: for all the wailing children on buttcointalk, history will look kindly on MP
mircea_popescu: what i bought with harnett was the silencing of that idiot, who at the time was if you recall running all over the forum with HIS WIFE throwing around "ratings" and whatnot.
dub: [\\\]: Ph had a really neat definately not pirate related investment fund that turned out to be a way to buy his own pirate debt
[\]: what happened there?
[\]: I always knew you were a flea market type of guy
mircea_popescu: [\\\] at least you didn't end up buying a ton of discounted "debt" a week after.
ThickAsThieves: the best thing would be to sell it
ThickAsThieves: odds are that even if they do pass out hardware to us
[\]: what other reason are there, really?
[\]: "misc reasons" being insider trading.
[\]: not in the context of total network hash
dub: just replace 'board member' with 'pirate vegas party attendee' and answer these questions yourself
[\]: it's a waste of everyone's time
ThickAsThieves: maybe theyll do it for gen2
ThickAsThieves: which has yet to materialize
ThickAsThieves: like mp said, there was a hope for hardware benefits
mircea_popescu: [\\\] subjectively, the buyer gets to feel even closer to the object of his adoratiobn
dub: it makes it seem more legitimate to te buyer
[\]: it would actually seem to put the operator in a better position to screw the buyer.
[\]: I'm seriously interested how having any of the passthrough operators as board members has actually benefited any of the passthrough buyers
[\]: dub, been there, done that, got screwed like the rest.
dub: [\\\]: helps to have a priviledged few out there shilling and feeling special
dexX7: in the meantime boardmembers do stuff like this: http://www.lovethetruth.com/jis_images/cremation_of_care.jpg
mircea_popescu: they also blew that one but nobody cared as they actually seem to hash, so
dub: [\\\]: think the pirate cabal
mircea_popescu: dexX7 that was the original test boards promise, revamped
[\]: What's the point of a board seat for a passthrough if they refuse to talk about it?
[\]: good to know
[\]: just chose to ignore my question
ozbot: Fast-Hash-One 256 GH/s-24.576 TH/s
ThickAsThieves: because I will import any type of PT whole-share too
ThickAsThieves: AM1 is actually the closest thing
ThickAsThieves: and BF requires 250 minimum shares to export
ThickAsThieves: BTCT slow rolls them, including BTC withdrawals
ThickAsThieves: well the other PTs mostly give an illusion of arb potential
dexX7: people always complain about stuff like "bf suxx, it's always lower than btct"
dub: harder to cut and run
mircea_popescu: what's this, fantasylandia?
mircea_popescu: dexX7 why'd you expect joe q public to be doing DR arbitrage anyway ?
mircea_popescu: [\\\] "board seats" are the practical equivalent of las vegas steaks.
dexX7: that was to expect. without nearly realtime-transfer arbitrage is not possible and thus there are not many reasons for an export at all
ThickAsThieves: was hard not to
ThickAsThieves: it was so cheap their for so long
ThickAsThieves: and that's largely from me buying there
ThickAsThieves: so far only BitFunder has taken big hits from exports
mircea_popescu: after all, anything's easy to do.
mircea_popescu: <parseval> It would have been smart of him to launch such a thing, with all the volume in trades.. << he promised he was going to do it, before going live
[\]: What do the board seats actually do these days besides allow for a little insider trading?
dexX7: if so many ask you to convert am100 shares.. why don't you adapt and do it for a juicy fee?
parseval: It would have been smart of him to launch such a thing, with all the volume in trades..
ThickAsThieves: then I'd be the only PT left
parseval: Fractional shares seem messy to deal with
ThickAsThieves: because of the risk that Friedcat opens an independent exchange service
ThickAsThieves: I am inclined not to export
ThickAsThieves: but even then
ThickAsThieves: even then I'd like do a tax like 106 AM100 for 1 AM1
ThickAsThieves: firstly, I wouldnt even consider it other than for any shares in the PTs over 5000
ThickAsThieves: there's more at play for me anyway, the incentive to allow AM100 exports is very low
ozbot: Chuck Palahniuk Announces A Graphic Novel Sequel To FIGHT CLUB | The Cult
parseval: Though, they wouldn't trade you if that was the case, they'd just sell the shares themselves and buy an AM1
parseval: Theoretically, if the price of 100 AM100 was higher than the price of an AM1, you could make more than the 5% dividend by trading one for the other. But some force would need to keep the AM100 values at a higher price
ThickAsThieves: oh no, I'd LOVE to trade in these 5% mgmt fee shares for 0% fee exportable ones!
ThickAsThieves: "I bought AM100 shares at havelock and I was wondering if they were convertable to AM1 shares in Havelock?" a lot lately. getting closer and closer to a canned reply of RTFM...
dub: I'd probably just do some upgrades to the floating island fortress then go fishing
dub: I've got a bunch of world domination plans pencilled in but working for another global megacorp for the last year I'm all eviled out tbh
Apocalyptic: how would that be relevant anyway ? i never thought about it, i'll keep enough money to be sure i'll never have to work again while being able to afford a decent livestyle, as for the rest i have no clue
dub: risk of missing all those paleo fucktards like Diablo-D3
dub: bread isnt going to cut it for my virus delivery
Apocalyptic: was thinking about that "malleable paste" instead
Apocalyptic: regarding your question with the bunch of dough, don't see how the virus dub is mentionning fits in, unless it's some symbolic "dough" you're referring to
dub: obviously I get the best blow
mircea_popescu: dude fixing the species is like fixing the wind.
dub: fixing the species
mircea_popescu: what's the fun in that ?
Rulother_: so we'll see how that goes.
dub: In June, a couple in Utah announced a project to live only on Bitcoin for ninety days and make a movie about their adventures, and have already raised $70,000 for their efforts.
