Anduck: and make them print paper wallets
Anduck: point them to bitaddress.org
Bowjob: then.. I thought, heck. that 10% could be 1000 bucks in the future
Anduck: tbh it will go to 50 usd easily
Bowjob: I told them its stupidly easy to get it.. and initially I didn't want to hold their coins
Bowjob: now.. they want to swarm me with dollars
Bowjob: didnt want to act till they were 25 dollars
Bowjob: I told them about it when it was around 15 dollars each
Bowjob: I agreed but only to 150 bucks worth.. I don't want them crying when their coins become worth shit
Bowjob: they want to invest in BTC but they can't be bothered to learn how it woks, ect
Bowjob: so guys, am I evil if I'm gonna hold other people's funds for 10% in BTC since they can't figure the wallet out?
Bowjob: we went back to 26.39 levels
DeadWeasel: see what the government has written about it already.

Bowjob: apart from that, good vid
Bowjob: also, santa hats and gift boxes are used to purchase goods in tf2.. similar to how we have different bills irl
Bowjob: rather you use earbuds to purchase hats and keys and a bunny head and a beret to purchase unusuals
Bowjob: it's a rare scenario where peole use metal to buy hats.
Bowjob: I take a few issues with the way he described TF2 economy though.
mircea_popescu: also in the news, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144319.0
mircea_popescu: is this etsy university ?
Bowjob: so I graduated from hats, and switched to bitcoin
Bowjob: and before I was a bitcoiner, I first had my hand trading hats... hats!
Bowjob: by that i mean 4:25 an
BitHub: yeah i said to my partner, why are we so egar to turn btc back into cash? better off just taking as much fiat as you can and turning it all into btc and you can leverage it alot more, and if we really need more, we can just cash out now and again.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall this particular one, but yes btc accounting is the better way.
BitHub: i was thinking about what you were saying when we first talked, about keeping things offshore, keeping everything in btc, no fiat. I think its the better way to go.
BitHub: well threating to sue i guess
BitHub: oh not sued but emails n stuff like threating what you guys are doing?
mircea_popescu: which i might, if they're credible.
BitHub: asicminer pass thru share
mircea_popescu: if i allow that someone
mircea_popescu: im curious if they end up shootingthemselves in the foot by listing on some illiquid platform and never realising those prices tho
BitHub: there was a bunch of us in #bitcoin working it out :) not sure of exact figures but it was pretty close to that
mircea_popescu: which would make each share worth up to BTC even.
BitHub: so takes about 3- half months to make your money back
BitHub: to make 1btc a day off the divs
BitHub: we roughly worked as an investor you need to buy about 266 shares at .4 for about 106 btc
mircea_popescu: they do have electricity/maintenance costs, and there is the risk their miners blow up (which eventually they will, these things wear)
mircea_popescu: 5.5k worth of debt, but that's not such a big deal
BitHub: i think its 25 blocks?
mircea_popescu: course, they have about
BitHub: we were playing with some calcs in the lobby
mircea_popescu: actually let's see. if they mine about 15 blocks a day consistently that's
BitHub: too many s.dice shares out there :P
mircea_popescu: (which is a silly thing to say, but hey)
mircea_popescu: its what they said.
BitHub: okey, so they wont be issuing any more than 200k shares in total now or in the future.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, there's nothing more to sell.
mircea_popescu: so... maybe some people didn't claim them, and so i guess they may revert to bitfountain
mircea_popescu: looky : this company already issued its shares, on glbse
BitHub: but "bitfountain" will be owning them.
mircea_popescu: afaik glbse listed them at 200k shares, so, that would be "all"
mircea_popescu: if there are any i'd be surprised there be very many.
BitHub: not till the price is right, or really needed
mircea_popescu: afaik there's no actual shares in that group
BitHub: 3. The rest shares?
mircea_popescu: no, because they already issued and they promised not to dillute.
mircea_popescu: basically, they're very convolutedly going about implementing a mpex contract.
BitHub: so they can sell shares to raise funds if they really need to i guess.
BitHub: you're the expert :P
mircea_popescu: what do you read into that ?
BitHub: 4. About the portion concerns, we believe that the evaluation of (A+B) on IPO is fair to ASICMINER purchasers, because it's already much lower than most other startups seeking for angel investments. The investor protection clauses are also a pro. Of course, most angels/VCs will get more information and control, but we could still debate whether this aspect can neutralize the advantages
BitHub: cost in the mid-term won't be so big that we have to sell them low.
BitHub: 3. The rest shares, when not sold, are kept and owned by Bitfountain. When they are sold, all income will be invested in our partner ship (A+B). This is what the non-dilution privilege of ASICMINER share means. They may be sold someday when the price is right and we need really big investment costs. But now the price is not fully appreciated in our point of view and the re-investment
BitHub: re-investment costs. This is why we stated that ASICMINER shareholders are always in a better position than any device buyers when the initial biggest risk disappeared.
BitHub: 2. The privileges (investor protection) are exactly the four ones listed in the main thread. Besides privileges, one ASICMINER share is no different to one Bitfountain share. This means that ASICMINER shareholders also pay for maintainance and re-investment, same as the rest of us three, while at the same time also enjoy the future benefits made possible from the maintainance and
BitHub: 1. One ASICMINER (A) share is one privileged share of our partnership (A+B) compared to Bitfountain (B) shares controlled by us founders.
BitHub: This is what in our mind when doing the IPO:
mircea_popescu: 100-150, something like that.
mircea_popescu: about 150k usd at the time
mircea_popescu: they have tho
BitHub: they would be silly to have sold out all their shares
mircea_popescu: it's not quite as clearly stated as on mpex, but it's the principle.
mircea_popescu: and the shareholders can buy the other half.
mircea_popescu: the company always keeps half the shares
BitHub: and are holding alot themselves to sell later to raise money, plus a whole bunch of other things, friedcat just did a upgrade recently
mircea_popescu: but they can't sell those ?
BitHub: i think they got some more for this bitfountain thing
mircea_popescu: how do they raise money ?
BitHub: that's always good to have in your back pocket
BitHub: they'll probably raise alot of money once they sort out their share situation and actually put it on the market
BitHub: did you read friedcats update today?
mircea_popescu: but still, they need 10x as much to break even on the various loans. who knows, maybe they make it.
mircea_popescu: 25 blocks * 25 btc = 20k rather than 10k
mircea_popescu: this recent jump hel[ed them a lot.
BitHub: yeah true mirceas as the price of btc rises.
mircea_popescu: smart of them that they have liabilities denominated in fiat tho.
mircea_popescu: sooo asicminer has like 70k usd in bills to pay ?
mircea_popescu: ahahah that works ?
mircea_popescu: as long as the guys are me i kinda have that.
thestringpuller: finding a surefire method for guys to get laid?
