ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu, Naphex: are the xotika reports living at predictable urls?
ben_vulpes: not that anyone cares, but things i'd like to see pre-ipo:
ben_vulpes: not that i'm even going to look at the blockchain on the latter, but they should at least show up on the balance sheet, even if they are going directly into naphex' pocket
kakobrekla: i rather confused reading this statement but i may be thick
mircea_popescu: for me for instance it is quite informative that a reasonable timespan for public consultation is ~2 mo.
kakobrekla: fees are taken on withdrawals? how much is that fee?
ben_vulpes: monthly is an adequate frequency for inspecting operators commitment to the project.
ben_vulpes: too late, whiterock, mircea_popescu beat you to it.
kakobrekla: what are these private investments? do those investors get same shares as (will be) on mpex?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla that's just the guy putting money in from his pocket.
ben_vulpes: board can authorize divs of whatever size they want to?
mircea_popescu: anyway, i dun recall what they charged, a few % but sliding scale
kakobrekla: yeah these numbers dont make any sense to me still.
whiterock: hi guys i cant back read the topi. if its ok, may i know what is being discussed?
ben_vulpes: shareholder equity implies a previous investment round as well.
ben_vulpes: but that has nothing to do with the topic
kakobrekla: > as fees are calculated on withdrawal >Dividend to shareholders9.6487 > Withdrawals*35.7354 >
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no, it's an accumulator value. everything not otherwise accounted is shareholder equity.
mircea_popescu: they're not really related tho. so the site paid 35 btc in withdrawals (by performers) and 9 btc in dividends
ben_vulpes: like i said kakobrekla the 'board' can pay whatever in divs apparently
mircea_popescu: it can pay whatever it wants in dividends, up to its entire cash balance.
kakobrekla: but site generates div from fees on withdrawals
mircea_popescu: no, it generates dividends on board say-so out of its cash
mircea_popescu: just as long as they're paid fairly (ie, by share ownership proportion) they can be any arbitrary value between 0 and entreprise value
kakobrekla: so he paid 9to himself if i understand this correctly?
kakobrekla: and 'platform dev' ? is he charging the actual work needed with the site?
ben_vulpes: 30% depreciation in server value over four months and some days?
mircea_popescu: the one problem i see in there is that if there's 73 deposited and 35 withdrawn, the difference is unearned income, and improperly reported as shareholder equity.
ben_vulpes: and why is that reported as an asset value increase
whiterock slaps punkman around a bit with a large fishbot
mircea_popescu: that i recall the discussion of. i asked if it has resale/license value, and he said yes.
ben_vulpes: some hand-wavey value of the software?
mircea_popescu: i would expect it's a historical value of the software
mircea_popescu: i thought it was a one man show originally too, but apparently there's at least another guy (this CoraCrisT fellow) doing something in between ceo and pr.
ben_vulpes: also "software" should be depreciated on a goddamn 2 year schedule it rots so quickly. especially these single-page angular things; they're exceptionally more expensive to maintain as time goes on.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes afaik their major weakness is an inability to run in anything but chrome atm
ben_vulpes: that has nothing to do with depreciation schedule.
ben_vulpes: and think what you will, constraining the operating environment to just chrome is a pretty sensible cost-reducing move.
ben_vulpes: you can make the consumers "come to expect" anything, unless mgmt insists pigheadedly on cross-browser support chasing "lift" or "conversion" or some such, chrome should be adequate.
ben_vulpes: ofc this buys also the risk of google ripping the sheets out from under one.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that anyone's downloading a browser to run your spunk app.
mircea_popescu: moreover, unless google;'s paying for this, why the fuck am i dirving their dumbass product on my dime.
ben_vulpes: everyone already has chrome, there is no "download".
mircea_popescu: god forsaken species that never in its history produced anything but stupid.
ben_vulpes: welcome, mircea_popescu, to the new new new new web
mircea_popescu: "oh i know, we've never done the stupid thing THIS WAY before!"
mircea_popescu: "drop everything! there's another same-way to do the stupid!"
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'm off to bed. looking forward to part 2 of the xotika discussion once Naphex shows up.

mircea_popescu: "here's the things we want you to think : a) that you need us ; b) that you shouldn't look out for yourself".
mircea_popescu: yeah, totally. what you want when doing a start-up is to "raise" a lot of money so you can pay the people who you "rose" it from rent so their real-estate sidelines do really well (in exactly the opposite fashion of what's preached here), while "not optimizing for your size of the pie".
mircea_popescu: which happens to be exactly what's happening, too. indians "had" land, the nature of which they failed to understand, but it was the funciar good for good reason back then.
mircea_popescu: these indians have time, the nature of which they also fail to understand, and well... it's the funciar good today.
mircea_popescu: oh right, and i forgot, "c) there's a shortage of you suckers [and really, alot of money you can give right back to us is "chasing" this deal. totally.]"
mircea_popescu: punkman so it does huh. except it's a weird thing, i've seen this lots in us-born slavegirls. woman could be well above 100 iq, think herself stupid, and indeed exhibit ~30-50 iq in selected fields.
mircea_popescu: so well selected for the convenience&perpetuation of the stupidity she comes from, one can hardly believe it's not deliberately trained.
mircea_popescu: but whatever, fight "patriarchy", not the incredibly unhealthy system that makes you be dumb in the few spots it handles you by so your smarts in the rest of the spectrum can be best sucked dry.
mircea_popescu: average ustard is, i would guess, a 110 to 115 iq college graduate whose 110 to 115 iq is composed of 150+ iq in beating himself up, 25 iq in establishing relationships and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: ethical idiocy, where ethical does not mean what esltards think it means, but merely "how to correctly live".
mircea_popescu: this is actually indicative of the very fucking problem : ethics means, how to live. such as for instance, how to drive a fucking airplane i nthe tax office if you live in the us. that's ethics. meanwhile the carefully-debilitated ustards actually think ethics means the exact opposite of what ethics means. to them ethics is "the ways to inconvenience your life".

nubbins`: the holo stickers for the 1btc silvers were too large for the space on the coin & tended to lift at the edges, making for very easy solvent insertion -- most stickers were then burned around the rim with a laser to make a fried-on messy ring that allowed the sticker to lay flatter and ostensibly would reveal tampering more easily (they still flaked, saw it with mine own)
